碣石 / Jieshi

碣石 / Jieshi enters the wiki through 《资治通鉴·秦纪》123-1|神之预言:“亡秦者胡”竟是指…? as a northern coastal stop in 嬴政 / 秦始皇’s 215 BCE eastern tour. The episode says this third post-unification tour is directed toward former 燕国 territory and the search for ancient immortals.

In the source, Jieshi is both a ritual-inscription site and a hinge into policy. Qin Shi Huang has a stele carved there after sending 卢生 to seek immortal traces; the later return of “亡秦者胡” turns this sea-facing search route into the prelude to 预言触发政策 and the northern campaign against 匈奴.

The episode also places the post-Jieshi order to remove large city walls and levees near this route sequence, making Jieshi part of the transition from 帝国巡游政治剧场 into 强干弱枝式集权.
