Idiom story

During the reign of emperor Jingzong in the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court built a lot of buildings and spent too much money. Du Mu was very angry, so he wrote a Fu on Afang palace, which told that Afang palace was very prosperous in the Qin Dynasty. Finally, Xiang Yu, the overlord of the Western Chu Dynasty, set fire to it for three months. He used the past to satirize the present, hoping that those in power could learn the lessons from the death of Qin Dynasty. In the past, it was generally believed that Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, moved his hatred to things and set fire to Afang palace and all its affiliated buildings. However, Xiang Yu's biography in historical records only says that "if the Qin palace is burned, the fire will not go out in March", but does not mention Afang palace. In the archaeological excavation of the Afang Palace site, no trace of burning was found.
