Xingtai sand dunes, known as the land of trapped dragons, why did emperors after Qin Shihuang detour? What are the allusions?
In today's southern Hebei Province, there is a Guangzong County, and there is a village called Dabai in Guangzong County. Just looking at the name of this village, everyone will definitely think that this village is either built on a big platform as a whole or there must be a big platform in this village.

Actually, what you think is right. This village is called "big platform deposit" precisely because there is a big platform here. The name of this big platform is "Dune". According to the Records of Guangzong County, Guangzong is flat and the soil is almost sandy, so it is called sand dunes.

Because of three events in history, sand dunes are called "the land where dragons are trapped" by many history lovers. In ancient times, the emperor was the real dragon emperor, and the trapped dragon was the trapped king. So how can a small sand dune be trapped by an emperor who stands out from the crowd? Let's take a look.

Di Xin, the last king of Shang Dynasty, was the first emperor to contact sand dunes.

Di Xin is called "Shang Zhouwang" by the world. Many historical records show that during his reign, Di Xin indulged in debauchery, resorted to military tactics and repeatedly tortured, and eventually perished. The most obvious manifestation of Di Xin's fatuity and corruption is that he once built a detached palace and a meat forest in a sand dune wine pool for his own life and luxury. According to historians' records,

Joy plays in the sand dunes, taking wine as the pool and county meat as the forest, men and women streaking and chasing, and drinking all night.

Since then, "wine pool meat forest" has become synonymous with extreme luxury of life.

However, it has not been confirmed whether Di Xin ever built a "wine pool meat forest" in the sand dunes, because until now, archaeologists have not excavated any remains in the sand dunes or in Guangzong County, and all the statements about "wine pool meat forest" are completely from historical records. In this case, if it is absolutely certain that Di Xin must have built a wine pool meat forest, the salted fish thinks it is unfair to Di Xin.

However, the link between sand dunes and Di Xin goes no further. The sand dunes are just Di Xin's once detached palace. He may live here, but he is not trapped here. Di Xin fled back to Shangdu and set himself on fire in Lutai.

After Di Xin, the second king related to sand dunes is the famous Wuling in Zhao Haoqi.

During the reign of King Wuling of Zhao, he carried out the reform of riding and shooting, making Zhao the only eastern power that could compete with Qin at that time. However, no one is perfect, and the gifted King Wuling of Zhao sometimes falls into a coma. The biggest mistake he made in his life was to abdicate early in his prime, and then pass the throne to his youngest son, namely King Zhao Huiwen, out of selfishness and pity for his eldest son (that is, to abolish Prince Zhao Zhang).

It is hard to believe that the wise King Wuling of Zhao would have such an idea and put it into action. But to his surprise, the country can't have two monarchs, otherwise there will be civil strife. Zhao Haoqi Huiwen and Zhang Zhao will not allow each other's existence to threaten their position. People's desires are endless. Zhao Haoqi Wuling can satisfy their initial desire, but they will never stop the expansion of desire.

King Wuling of Zhao decided to cede this county to Zhao Zhang and let him be the king. Of course, there is a deeper reason why King Wuling of Zhao did this, that is, he has abdicated as the emperor's father and wants to regain power, so he helped Zhao Zhang realize his ideas. However, King Huiwen of Zhao resolutely opposed it, so King Wuling of Zhao felt for the first time that the youngest son was out of his control, so in order to make Zhao Zhang become the acting king smoothly and realize his ambition, he decided to create a coup for Zhao Zhang. In 295 BC, he asked Zhao Zhang and Zhao Huiwen to go with him in the name of choosing a cemetery in the sand dunes, so the three of them went to the sand dunes together. Zhao Wuling and Zhao Zhang live in the same palace, and so does Zhao Huiwen.

Then, with the acquiescence of King Wuling of Zhao, Zhao Zhang prepared to launch a mutiny and assassinate King Huiwen of Zhao. But at this time, Zhao Huiwen was full-fledged, the mutiny in Zhao Zhang was quickly suppressed by Zhao Huiwen, and Zhao Zhang himself was killed. Zhao Huiwen also had a lot of resentment against King Wuling of Zhao, so with the acquiescence of King Huiwen of Zhao, Xin participated in the counter-insurgency, and Li Dui and Gong Zicheng surrounded the living area of King Wuling of Zhao for a long time.

The third contact with sand dunes was Qin Shihuang who unified the six countries.

In 22 1 year BC, with the surrender of Qi, Qin Shihuang finally accomplished the unprecedented feat of unifying the six countries. Since then, Qin Shihuang has searched the world five times in order to show his great power to the world and seek ways to live forever. In 2 10 BC, Qin Shihuang made his fifth expedition to the east. When his troops went to Pingyuan County, Qin Shihuang was seriously ill. When he went to the sand dunes, the emperor was seriously ill.

These are three stories that happened on the sand dunes, and they are said to be "trapped dragons".
