Xiang Yu's personal profile

Xiang Yu (232 BC-202 BC), surnamed Xiang, was a descendant of the State of Chu (now Suqian, Jiangsu), the grandson of Xiang Yu, a famous strategist and strategist of Chu, a representative of China's military thought "Military Intelligence" (military situation, military tactics, military yin and yang, military skills), and also a military commander famous for his outstanding personal force.

Li Wanfang's evaluation of it is "the brave feather is unparalleled through the ages." Sima Qian wrote in Historical Records: Xiang was General Chu, and was sealed in Xiang, so he was named Xiang.

Xiang Yu followed his uncle Xiang Liang in Wuzhong (now Suzhou, Jiangsu Province) to fight against Qin in his early years. After Xiang Liang was killed, he led an army to cross the river to save Zhao Wangxie, and defeated Qin Jun's main forces led by Zhang Han and Wang Li in the Battle of Julu. After Qin's death, he was called the overlord of the West Chu, with Pengcheng (now Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province) as the capital, and the system of enfeoffment was implemented, and the heroes of Qin State and the nobles of six countries were crowned kings.

Then Liu Bang, the king of Han Dynasty, sent troops from Hanzhong to attack Xiang Yu, and Xiang Yu launched a Chu-Han war with him for four years. Although Liu Bang suffered repeated defeats and wars during the period, Xiang Yu could not have a fixed rear supply, and he was exhausted. Also suspected that his father Fan Zeng was finally destroyed by Liu Bang. In 202 BC, Xiang Yu was defeated (now south of Lingbi County, Anhui Province) and broke through to Wujiang River (now wujiang town County, Anhui Province) to commit suicide.

Anecdotal allusions

Burn one's bridges: In the Battle of the Giant Deer, Xiang Yu led his troops across the Zhangshui River, ordered all the ships to be sunk, destroyed all the cooking utensils, and only brought three days' food and grass to fight Qin Jun. Therefore, Xiang Yu's foot soldiers fought bravely with the heart of death, and the fighting capacity of Xiang Yu's army was greatly improved. All the princes and princes were frightened by a block and ten were killed. Finally, he won the battle of Julu.

Hongmen Banquet: A banquet held by Fan Zeng to persuade Xiang Yu to kill Liu Bang, from which came the idiom "Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is intended to be staged repeatedly".

Embattled: Xiang Yu was surrounded by Liu Bangjun after his defeat. Liu Bangjun sang Chu songs in the evening. Xiang was very sad after hearing this. He thought that Liu Bang had pacified Chu, and Xiang's morale collapsed.

Farewell My Concubine: There is a beautiful woman named Yu Ji in Xiang Yu, who is always with Xiang Yu, but Xiang Yu has to lead a fine rider to prepare for the breakthrough, so he has to make a farewell song for Yu Ji, and Yu Ji also echoed it, expressing his dying heart and saying goodbye to Xiang Yu with tears. Farewell My Concubine was later adapted into operas, movies, novels, songs and other literary works.
