Origin
话说当年秦始皇统一六国后,大兴土木,建造了气势恢宏的阿房宫。宫殿的规模之大,令人叹为观止。工人们日夜不停地劳作,锤声、凿声、喊叫声,汇成一片震天动地的巨响。这声音,不仅惊动了京都的百姓,就连远在千里之外的山谷也为之颤抖,飞鸟走兽也吓得四处逃窜。然而,这震天动地的巨响,却也预示着秦王朝的短暂和最终的衰亡。

It is said that after Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms, he launched a massive construction project, building the magnificent Afang Palace. The scale of the palace was breathtaking. Workers toiled day and night, and the sounds of hammers, chisels, and shouts merged into a deafening roar. This sound not only startled the citizens of the capital, but also caused the valleys far away to tremble. Birds and beasts fled in fright. However, this earth-shattering roar also foreshadowed the short-lived nature and eventual demise of the Qin Dynasty.
