During the Western Han Dynasty (202 BC-9 AD),Emperor Jingdi wanted to make the princes less powerful.This made seven princes very angry.In 154 BC,they joined together to fight against the emperor.Their rebellion caused years of war, destroyed many cities,and left people's lives in chaos.Although the emperor eventually won,the damage was huge.People later called this event "Luan Qi(Chaotic Seven)”. Later,in the Jin Dynasty (266-420 AD),eight princes started fighting each other for power.This "Eight Princes'Rebellion"lasted from 291 to 306 AD.The war burned villages,killed thousands of people,and made society fall apart.The word "Ba Zao(Eight Troubles)"became a symbol of long-lasting chaos. As time passed,people combined these two stories to create "Luan Qi Ba Zao". They used it to talk about any situation that was as messy as these ancient wars.Today, we still use this phrase in daily life.For example,"My desk is a luan gi ba zao after studying all night！” This idiom shows how history can influence language.By learning about "Luan Qi Ba Zao",we not only understand a phrase but also remember the lesson from the past: Fighting and chaos always bring suffering.

D.A beautiful cultural heritage of Jin Dynasty. )22.Why did the seven princes rise up against Emperor Jingdi of Western Han? A.Because the emperor planned to weaken their power. B.Because the emperor refused to give them food. C.Because they wanted to move the capital city. D.Because they hoped to help common people live better. )23.What result did the Eight Princes'Rebellion bring to society? A.It made the whole country rich and strong. B.Villages were burned and society broke down. C.It helped the emperor control all princes easily. D.People lived a peaceful life after the war. )24.What lesson can we learn from the two rebellions according to the passage? A.Emperors should always give all power to princes.
