传说中，一位权倾朝野的大臣，为了彰显自己的地位和财富，耗费巨资建造了一座富丽堂皇的府邸。府邸占地极广，雕梁画栋，金碧辉煌，各种珍奇异宝琳琅满目。高大的门楼上，挂着无数的彩灯，夜里远远望去，如同天上繁星点点，璀璨夺目。大臣在府邸中设宴款待宾客，宾客们无不赞叹府邸的富丽堂皇。然而，大臣的奢靡生活招来了皇帝的猜忌和百姓的怨恨。最终，他落得个身败名裂的下场，富丽堂皇的府邸也成为历史的尘埃。
Legend has it that a powerful minister, to display his status and wealth, spent a fortune building a magnificent mansion. The mansion covered a vast area, with intricately carved beams and columns, glittering with gold and jewels, and filled with rare and precious treasures. Tall gate towers were hung with countless lanterns; at night, from afar, they resembled countless stars, brilliant and dazzling. The minister held banquets in the mansion to entertain guests, who all admired the mansion's magnificence. However, the minister's extravagant lifestyle attracted the emperor's suspicion and the people's resentment. In the end, he fell from grace, and the magnificent mansion became dust of history.
