What kind of music does the "embarrassing song" in "besieged on all sides" refer to?

Chu songs are not folk songs from the two lakes, but should be folk songs from the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and Huaihe River.

What kind of song is the "Chu song" that makes Xiang Yu lose all his fighting spirit?

"Historical Records" records: "The person with Xiang Ji is a person with the courtesy name Yu. When he first started, he was twenty-four years old. His Ji father Xiang Liang, Liang's father was the Chu general Xiang Yan, who was killed by the Qin general Wang Jian.

The Xiang family was a Chu general for generations and was granted the title of Xiang, so his surname was Xiang. "Xiaxiang is now Suqian, Jiangsu Province. This passage indicates that Xiang Yu moved to Wuzhong (today's Suzhou, Jiangsu Province) with his uncle Xiang Liang after Xiangxiang grew up.

.

The next key question is where Xiang Yu rose up, that is, where is his base?

This can provide strong evidence for determining the region represented by Chu Ge.

"The Chronicles of Xiang Yu" records: "Then he raised troops from Wuzhong and ordered people to take over the county, and he got 8,000 elite soldiers." This shows that Xiang Yu raised troops in Wuzhong, and the 8,000 soldiers from Jiangdong were his direct troops collected in Wuzhong.

So how did Wuzhong become Chu land?

This is a long story. Historically, the scope of the Chu region was not static, but constantly changed as the war progressed.

In 278 BC, Qin general Bai Qi captured the capital of Ying. Chu was forced to move its capital to Chen (today's Huaiyang, Henan Province), then to Juyang (today's east of Taihe County, Anhui Province), and in 241 BC to Shouchun (today's Anhui Province).

Shouxian). In 223 BC, Qin soldiers conquered Shouchun and the Chu State was destroyed.

Due to the unfavorable war, the capital of Chu State continued to move eastward, and the Chu people subsequently entered the lower reaches of the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers. The lower reaches of the Yangtze River and Huaihe River began to be called "Chu Land".

At the same time, history also records that Xiang Yu led 8,000 Jiangdong soldiers to defeat the Qin general Zhang Han. He made great progress and destroyed the Qin State. Then he and Liu Bang competed in the Central Plains. They fought more than seventy battles, but they never reached Fu.

Jingchu area south of Niushan.

It can be inferred from this that Chu songs are not folk songs from the two lakes, but should be folk songs from the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and Huaihe River.
