There are more pillars in the negative building than farmers in Nanmu. There are more rafters on the beam than women on the plane. The phosphorus in onion is more than that in millet. The joints of ceramic tiles are uneven, and there are more threads than the whole body. There are more columns and sills than nine battlements. The orchestra's strings are hoarse, and they talk more than the city people. Let people all over the world dare not speak or get angry.

Epanggong Fu uses typical artistic techniques. In a very short time, it gives people a clear and concrete image of the grandeur of palace architecture, the fullness and beauty of harem, and the preciousness and luxury of treasures. It is concluded that the reason why Qin Shihuang ruled for a long time lies in the rabble's drawing materials and showing no mercy, which provided a profound lesson and warning for the supreme ruler at that time. The full text not only has shocking ideological power, but also has high artistic value.

The author described the construction, scale and use of Epang Palace with concise and vivid pen and ink, and did not discuss it abstractly, but the discussion was already in it. It is not difficult for readers to see that Epang Palace, which embodies the blood and sweat of the people and is enjoyed by the rulers, reflects the sufferings of the people and the corruption of the rulers.
