He was the king of the Qin Kingdom in the
Warring States Period.
There is a story about him recorded in
history books.
The founding king of the Xia Dynasty cast
nine tripods in bronze. The nine tripods represent the nine states of China.
These nine tripods were placed in the
capital of the Xia Dynasty, and these nine tripods were specially used to
worship Heaven and Earth and the ancestors.
These nine tripods have survived the Xia
Dynasty, the Shang Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty.
The Nine Tripods represent the symbols of
the rulers of China.
These nine tripods represent the supreme
ruling power of the kings of the Zhou Dynasty.
The Zhou Dynasty was the last hereditary
dynasty in Chinese history to fully implement the feudal system.
The king of the Zhou dynasty divided the
land of China among various princes.
These princes fought each other and
competed for land and resources.
By the end of the Zhou dynasty, only 7 of
these 140 vassal states remained.
The seven kingdoms were the Qin, Qi, Yan,
Chu, Wei, Zhao and Han kingdoms.
In the last years of the Zhou dynasty, the
king of the Zhou dynasty was only formally the supreme ruler of China. In
reality, these seven vassal states did not obey the orders of the Zhou dynasty
at all.
In 311 BC, (Ying Dang) was 18 years old and
became king of the Qin Kingdom.
His body is very strong, his strength is
great, he likes to fight and wrestle.
After he became king, he promoted many
famous strong men of the Qin Kingdom to become officials in the kingdom.
He actively built the Qin Kingdom and
appointed several very wise ministers.
Five years after he became king, the
national power of the Qin Kingdom became very strong.
In 307 BC, he led a mission to visit the
capital of the Zhou Dynasty.
The king of the Zhou dynasty held a grand
banquet for him.
During the banquet, he saw the nine tripods
in the Zhou palace, which represented the supreme power of the king of the Zhou
dynasty.
He was a little drunk, and he went up to
one of the tripods and said to the king of the Zhou dynasty.
The place represented by this tripod is the
Qin Kingdom. I think this tripod should no longer be placed in the capital of
the Zhou dynasty, but this tripod should be placed in the capital of the Qin
dynasty.
After hearing this sentence, everyone at
the banquet was terrified and dared not speak.
He turned his head and said to a minister
of the Qin Kingdom
You lift this tripod and I will take it
back to the Qin Kingdom.
This minister is a famous strongman in the
Qin Kingdom.
The minister walked over to the side of the
tripod, and the minister lifted the tripod, which weighed more than 200
kilograms. Since the tripod was too heavy, the minister supported it for a few
seconds and then put the tripod back in its original place.
When he saw this, he laughed.
It seems that your strength is too weak, so
I have to carry this tripod by myself.
He walked in front of the tripod, lifted
the tripod weighing more than 200 kilograms and took a few steps forward.
The cauldron was really too heavy, after he
walked a few steps he couldn't carry it any further, the cauldron slipped out
of his hand, the cauldron was pressed against his thigh, and his thigh was
broken on the spot.
Everyone in the banquet hall was shocked to
see this sudden accident.
Many ministers of the Qin Kingdom
immediately rushed to his side, and these ministers of the Qin Kingdom worked
together to lift the tripod and save him immediately.
He bled profusely that night and died in
the capital of the Zhou dynasty.
He was 23 years old that year.
Dear friend, what kind of inspiration or

were young? How do you feel about the sudden death of a young man?
I hope this story can give you some new

他是戰國時代秦王國的國王。
歷史書上記載過一個關於他的故事。
夏王朝的開國國王鑄造了九個用青銅鑄成的鼎。這九個鼎代表中國的九個州。
這九個鼎放置在夏王朝的首都內，這九個鼎專門被用來祭祀天與地與祖先。
這九個鼎經歷了夏王朝與商王朝與周王朝。
這九個鼎代表了統治中國的象徵。
這九個鼎代表了周王朝的國王擁有至高無上的統治權力。
周王朝是中國歷史上最後一個完全施行封建制度的世襲王朝。
周王朝的國王把中國的土地分封給各個諸侯。
這些諸侯彼此之間相互爭戰，這些諸侯爭奪土地與各種資源。
周王朝的末年，這140幾個諸侯國只剩下7個。
這7個王國是秦王國、齊王國、燕王國、楚王國、魏王國、趙王國、韓王國。
周王朝的末年，周王朝的國王只有在形式上仍舊是中國的最高統治者，實際情況中，這7個諸侯國完全不服從周王朝的命令。
西元前311年，(嬴蕩)18歲，他成為秦王國的國王。
他的身體很強壯，他的力氣很大，他喜歡比武與角力。
他成為國王之後，他提拔了許多秦王國的著名的大力士成為王國中的官員。
他積極的建設秦王國，他任用了好幾個很有智慧的大臣。
他成為國王五年後，秦王國的國力變得非常的強。
西元前307年，他率領了一個使團到周王朝的首都去參訪。
周王朝的國王為他舉辦了一場盛大的晚宴。
在這一場宴會中，他看到了周王朝的皇宮中那代表了周王朝的國王擁有至高無上的統治權力的九個鼎。
他有點喝醉了，他走向其中一個鼎，他對周王朝的國王說。
這一個鼎代表的地方就是秦王國，我認為這一個鼎不應該繼續放在周王朝的首都，這個鼎應該放在秦王國的首都。
參加這場宴會的所有人聽到這句話後，大家都驚駭地不敢說話。
他轉頭對一個秦王國的大臣說。
你把這一個鼎搬起來，我要把這個鼎帶回秦王國。
這一個大臣是秦王國中的著名的大力士。
這個大臣走到這個鼎的旁邊，這個大臣把這個200多公斤的鼎舉起來，由於這個鼎太重了，這個大臣支持了幾秒鐘後把這個鼎放回原處。
他看到這情況，他大笑。
看來你的力氣太小了，我只好自己來搬這個鼎。
他走到這個鼎的前面，他把這個200多公斤的鼎舉起來並且向前走了幾步。
這個鼎真的太重了，他走了幾步後，他無法繼續支撐，這個鼎從他的手中滑落，這個鼎壓到了他的大腿，他的大腿當場被壓斷。
宴會廳中的所有人看到這個突然的意外，大家都驚呆了。
很多秦王國的大臣們立刻跑到他的旁邊，這些秦王國的大臣們協力把這個鼎抬起來並且立刻為他急救。
當天晚上，他因為流血過多，他死在周王朝的首都。
這一年，他23歲。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或有怎樣的想法呢。
你年輕的時候否做過那些荒唐的事呢?你如何看待一個年輕人的驟然離世呢?
我希望這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
