The Qin Dynasty once unified the world and became the most powerful empire in history. Which ancient poems specifically describe it?

One: Li Bai's "Ancient Style"

The Qin Emperor swept Liuhe, what a majestic sight. Swing your sword to cut through the floating clouds, and all the princes will come to the west. The clear judgment comes from the apocalypse, and the roughness leads to the talents.

Withdraw the troops and cast the golden man, and open Han Valley due to the east.

Inscribed on the Kuaiji Ridge, looking at Langyatai.

Seven hundred thousand prisoners were taken from Tulishan Kuma.

I still want to take the elixir of life, but my confusion makes my heart sad.

A continuous crossbow shoots at sea fish, and the long whale is Cui Wei.

The forehead and nose resemble the Five Mountains, making waves and spraying clouds and thunder.

How can you see Penglai when the sky is covered by curly manes?

Xu City is carrying the daughter of Qin. When will the boat return from the building?

But under the three springs, the golden coffin was buried with cold ashes.

"Ancient Style·The King of Qin Sweeps the Liuhe" is one of the poems "Ancient Style Fifty-nine" written by the great poet Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty. The main purpose of this poem is to use Qin Shihuang's unsuccessful quest for immortality to satirize Tang Xuanzong's superstitious belief in immortals.

In terms of ideological content, Li Bai is not particularly insightful, but in terms of its turbulent opening and closing momentum and thrilling artistic effect, it is truly unparalleled. It is the masterpiece in Li Bai's "Ancient Style" A masterpiece.

Two: Li Bai's "Reminiscence of the Past"

Today I recall the Qin Emperor, looking proudly at the East. Destroy six countries in one dynasty, and your achievements will cover the sky.

Determined to bring peace to the world and drive away tigers and wolves from the northwest. There were hundreds of thousands of civilians, and the Great Wall formed the frontier.

In search of the elixir, the second dynasty fell. Without the First Emperor, the sky and the earth were a blur. < /p>

Three: Li Bai's "Ancient Style"

The emperor of Qin pressed his sword, and his anger shocked the divine power.

I patrol the sea to the right day by day, and my body and stone drive to Cangjin.

Conscripting soldiers will cost you nine lives, and building a bridge will injure ten thousand people.

But if you want Pengdao medicine, you don’t think about farming.

It will be miserable for thousands of years to do your best but not be able to support yourself.

Li Bai's "Ancient Style" contains fifty-nine poems, and this is the forty-eighth of them. This poem satirizes Qin Shihuang for his excessive military activities, frequent corvee labor, lack of concern for farming, and delusional desire for immortality, which ultimately led to his inevitable death. Compassion for the past is to provide a reference for future generations. "Being sad" echoes "shaking the power of the gods", which is a strong contrast.
