How heavy is Xiang Yu, the overlord who can carry the tripod? Can the modern weightlifting champion be lifted?

Xiang Yu was a famous hero in ancient times. His stories are timeless and are praised by people in some literary works. As the overlord of the land of Chu, his fighting power is extraordinary and brave, which makes many enemies feel frightened and flee without fighting. It is difficult for anyone to match him. His "overlord of Chu" is not a hollow reputation, but really made by strength. Xiang Yu, who has such a strong fighting capacity, must be very strong. Xiang Yu, the overlord who can carry the tripod, left a strong image, and people can feel his bravery through long speeches. So how much does the tripod he is holding weigh? Can you lift the modern weightlifting champion and challenge him?

In 232 BC, Xiang Yu was born, but his parents died young. From then on, he was raised by his uncle Ding Liang and taught him fencing, reading and literacy in his early years. Xiang Yu doesn't like this kind of knowledge. Maybe he was partial to Yu Wenya, unable to express the blood in his chest, and he didn't go to school seriously. Then, through communication with his uncle Xiang Liang, he taught him the art of war, but he still didn't delve into it. Maybe his ability is not limited to theory, but also an activist.

Xiang Yu was brave and good at fighting since he was a child. Once Qin Shihuang came to Huiji to play with an extremely luxurious ship, and Xiang Liang took him to see it. Xiang Yu felt the cruelty of Qin Shihuang at that time and asked why no one had replaced such a tyrant. If Xiang Yu grows up at this time, he will be the one who wants to replace Qin Shihuang. But he really became the overlord of Chu. It's a pity that Xiang Yu, despite his ambition of heaven and earth, did not seriously study theoretical knowledge, which made him lack of subtlety, and eventually lost his reputation and committed suicide in Wujiang River.

Beauty and hero have been difficult to talk separately since ancient times. It is said that the brave Xiang Yu who was saved by himself met and got married again. There are two versions of the story of the overlord holding the tripod, one is the love story of Xiang Yu and Yu Ji, and the other is what happened during the anti-Qin period. In the last version circulated among the people, Xiang Yu in the story was still a teenager. When he met a girl whose concubine fell into the water while picking water chestnuts, he saved her. When she woke up, her benefactor had already disappeared. Yu Ji's brother told her that there was a young man at the temple fair who was strong enough to lift a bronze tripod over his head. Yu Ji knew that the boy saved her life, and later invited Xiang Yu, a teenager, to be a guest at home, and then they got married.

Another version took place in 209 AD, when Chen Sheng and Guangwu launched an uprising due to political corruption and tyranny during the Qin Shihuang period. Seeing such a situation, Xiang Yu also took the opportunity to farmland. Xiang Yu went to see Huan Chu in order to pull him into the team that overthrew the Qin Dynasty. Huan Chu deliberately wanted to embarrass Xiang Yu and asked him to lift the tripod in the yard before agreeing. It is said that several strong men lifted the tripod with one thousand catties together, but they did not move with all their strength. They don't want Xiang Yu to lift it alone. Seeing such a situation, Huan Chu had to admire Xiang Yu and finally joined his anti-Qin team.

A few strong men can't lift the tripod, but the neck can lift it alone. How much does this tripod weigh? In the Qin Dynasty, one catty was equal to sixteen taels. In the Western Han Dynasty, a catty was equal to 258.24 grams. Xiang Yu's 1,000-kilogram tripod was "1,000 kilograms" in ancient times, which is equivalent to 500 kilograms today. However, this weight may be empty, but it should actually be half lighter. I want the world weightlifting champion to lift the tripod. Can Xiang Yu lift the tripod?

According to the unearthed findings, the Ding in Qin Dynasty was cast in bronze, and its weight was generally around 200 kg to 230 kg. The highest modern world record is 266kg, while Xiang Yu's tripod is about 200-250 K. According to historical records, Zi Xiang Yu's height of more than eight feet is converted. Height is not less than 185cm, and physical condition is good. His weightlifting was very high in ancient times. The modern world weightlifting champion, after professional training, pays more attention to his diet and his physical fitness is much better than that of the ancients. Therefore, the modern world weightlifting champion should also be able to lift the tripod that Xiang Yu once lifted.

However, Xiang not only lifted weights, but also exerted his effortless strength on the battlefield. Unfortunately, Xiang Yu has enough "strength", but he lacks some details. Finally, he missed Jiangshan and was acquired by Liu Bang. But in any case, he has gone down in history, and later generations all know his extraordinary strength and his integrity of refusing to cross the river. Although he was defeated, he was still glorious.

Conclusion strength is one of the symbols of ancient people's fighting capacity, and it is also an ability to represent physical quality. Because of his great strength and fierce fighting capacity, Xiang Yu is difficult for ordinary people to catch him, even afraid to catch him. There are also some poems dedicated to praising Xiang Yu's strength, which are also one of the symbols of heroes. Xiang Yu, who can lift a thousand Jin Ding, proves that his fighting power is really outstanding, and even his fighting power has spread to modern times, which is still amazing.
