Yuefu was an official office established by the imperial court to manage music since the Qin Dynasty. After the Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, it still followed its name.

" "The most virtuous person should not be in harmony with the common people, and the person who achieves great success should not seek help from others" comes from "Guo Yan's Law". This is the essence of Qin culture and the basis for Qin's ability to conquer the six kingdoms and unify the world.

In the twenty-fifth year of the First Emperor's reign, Qin general Wang Tan led an army to attack Yan. King Xi of Yan was captured and the country fell.

Before Shang Yang went to Qin to realize the political goal of "taking the law as teaching and officials as teachers", Qin Xiaogong's position was not so firm. It's just that the Qin State was located in Yongzhou, and the princes regarded it as a barbarian state. Even the Emperor Zhou, who had been evacuated from power, ignored the Qin State. No wonder Qin Xiaogong was angry and said: "The princes despise Qin, and there is nothing more ugly than that." Shang Yang The reform finally became a reality. Politics was separated from the secular world, and utilitarianism was combined with national consciousness to establish a unified feudal regime.

However, after the free and unrestrained humanistic cultural spirit was replaced, in addition to maintaining the strong and vigorous legacy, it also pioneered cultural autocracy since Qin Shihuang. Qin's exclusive political and cultural rule will inevitably arouse people's resistance, especially at the beginning of the dynasty change, then the princes, generals and ministers will really have nothing to do. Gao Jianli followed Jing Ke and assassinated Qin Yingzheng again. After that, the anti-Qin wave became stronger and stronger.

Zou Lu culture, Chu Yue culture and Qi culture did not disappear after the unification of Qin. What's more, the character of Yan and Zhao has always penetrated into Chinese culture. "Yanshan Mountain rises from Gao'e in the north, and Yishui flows eastward without stopping" comes from Wang Gong's "Fu Yishui Sends People to Yan" written by Wang Gong of the Ming Dynasty.

Music with Bian Zheng as the main tone is also extremely desolate. "Shui Jing Zhu" says that Gao Jianli was building a building, and Song Ruyi was harmonizing with it. It was a majestic sound, and all the soldiers' hair rushed to their crowns; it was a mournful sound, and all the soldiers shed tears.

However, "Shiqie" says: Those who don't welcome it personally say that there is a beautiful woman who comes from nowhere, just like the day when the East rises. The poem "The Sun in the East" has always had mixed reviews, but Qi Xianggong would definitely be more reserved if he was from Zoulu. The incest relationship with Wen Jiang and his sister is also controversial, but Duke Huan of Lu died because of his wife's indiscretion. It would be meaningless to say that "there are good people in the world", but what can we say if we don't say it? It's just that Confucius was not born when Duke Xianggang of Qi was in power. But the voice of Jiang Taigong is still there? Fortunately, during the Warring States Period, Mencius and Xunzi tried their best to promote the cultural integration of Qi and Lu. Confucianism also influenced the people of Qi, and the spiritual evolution of Qi and Lu was reversed again. It doesn’t seem to be the case, but the question of whether it is true or not has its own meaning, so there is no need to say more, right?

In this way, Duke Wu of Zhongshan would not be bound by etiquette, and the so-called "indulgent pleasures and unrestrained lust" should be logical. However, after the Wei State destroyed Zhongshan State, Zhongshan Duke Huan returned to the country, and its national power was at its peak. Destroyed by the State of Zhao. The Tang River has its own source, but it eventually flows into the Qishui River, which in turn flows into the Yishui River at the Great Wall.
