- "Heaven is lasting. Earth endures. Time has no limit. Regret goes on and on without end."

Sources of
Influence are few in number outside of leader abilities,
Unique Buildings, and
Tile Improvements. While the Weiyang Palace's effect is not the most exciting, its availability in the Antiquity Age will provide a very significant amount of
Influence for the duration of the game. This
Wonder is less of a priority than the very best of the Antiquity Age, but is beneficial in almost all circumstances for a player to construct.
Civilopedia entry[]
Han China was ruled through power and prestige. The Han employed a vast administration under the autocracy of the emperor, combining the traditional authority of the Zhou Dynasty with the aggressive militarism of the Qin. This administration required a place from which to operate. When we think of a palace, we often think of luxurious residences and galleries of art, but Weiyang, in the city of Chang’an, was primarily an office building. Yet it was an impressive one. The palace is the largest ever built – at nearly five square kilometers it is vastly larger than the later Forbidden City. Weiyang Palace would have housed bureaucrats in a broad hierarchy dedicated to overseeing the administration and the state, with designated entrances for vassals (the east) and workers (the north).
During the Tang Dynasty, the palace was destroyed in an invasion and now lies in ruins. Its name means something akin to “happiness that has not yet reached its middle,” a relevant title for one of the earliest administrations in a country with such a long history.
Trivia[]
- The Weiyang Palace's wonder quote is the last line of the poem Song of Everlasting Regret by Tang dynasty poet and politician Bai Juyi, which tells the love story between Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and his favourite concubine Yang Guifei.
