Origin and Story of 大功毕成
Towards the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang, the Anhan Duke and an imperial relative, wielded absolute power.
He emulated the Duke of Zhou by constructing a Grand Hall (Ming堂) and establishing Yongling Terrace, gathering scholars from across the land to lecture and write. He successively recruited thousands of people to compose works and eulogies in his praise.
