博浪沙 / Bolangsha

博浪沙 / Bolangsha enters the wiki through 《资治通鉴·秦纪》123-1|神之预言:“亡秦者胡”竟是指…? as the site of 张良’s attempted assassination of 嬴政 / 秦始皇 in 218 BCE. The episode locates it around the old Yangwu area and links it to modern Yuanyang in Xinxiang, Henan.

The event matters because the attack reaches the imperial travel column but hits an accompanying carriage rather than the emperor’s own vehicle. The episode treats “误中副车” as the idiomatic memory of that failure, while emphasizing that Zhang Liang escapes despite a ten-day empire-wide search.

Bolangsha therefore becomes a post-unification resistance node. It extends the wiki’s earlier 弱国刺杀式破局 branch from Yan’s court-sponsored Jing Ke mission into a Han-remnant revenge attempt after Qin’s formal unification.
