Xiang Yu himself hated the tyranny and extravagance of the rulers of the Qin Dynasty. Epang Palace is a symbol of peasants' suffering and luxury in Qin Dynasty. Burning Epang Palace can reflect Xiang Yu's determination to oppose the brutal rule of the Qin Dynasty and gain the support of the people.
The latest archaeological evidence proves that Xiang Yu never "burned Epang Palace". For more than two years, the archaeological team of Epang Palace, which was established by the Institute of Archaeology of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and the Institute of Cultural Relics Protection and Archaeology of Xi City, conducted a "carpet" comprehensive archaeological exploration of the Qin Dynasty site in the front hall of Epang Palace. As a result, no remains of the palace buildings in the Qin dynasty were found, let alone those that were burned.
Accordingly, the Epang Palace archaeological team proposed that Epang Palace was not built, but only a "semi-finished" project; The incident of "burning Epang Palace" does not exist either.

Epang Palace in Qin Dynasty is not only the most magnificent palace group in Qin Dynasty, but also a masterpiece of ancient palace architecture in China, which records the history of the Chinese nation from decentralization to unity and bears the glorious memory of Chinese civilization.
During UNESCO 1992 field survey, it was confirmed that the construction scale and preservation integrity of Qin Afang Palace site ranked first among the ancient buildings in the world, and it was one of the wonders and places of interest in the world, and was known as "the first palace in the world".
At the same time, in a sense, Epang Palace, which wastes people and money, is also a symbol of the demise of Qin. Zhou Tianyou, president of China Qin and Han History Research Association and former director of Shaanxi Provincial Museum, believes that Epang Palace is a concentrated expression of Qin values.
Different from Confucianism's introversion, Qin's values are external expansion, and everything pursues the ultimate. The palace should be big, the capital should be big and the territory should be big. But also to mobilize all the manpower, material resources and financial resources of the whole country and concentrate on doing great things. The Qin empire did lay a lot of systems that were continued in the past dynasties in a short time, but at the same time it exceeded the social capacity at that time.
