There are many contents in history that need to be verified slowly, and there are also many legends. There is actually no rational evidence that Han Xin buried his mother alive, and many of them are just legends. , and there is more than one way of saying it.
The first type is what I call the "filial son version". When Han Xin was a child, he and his mother depended on each other for life. The old mother was blind, but Han Xin served his mother with the utmost filial piety.
One day, Han Xin fell asleep while grazing and dreamed that the Earth Dragon God told him that there was a beautiful place inside the Daqingya Stone Gate and gave him the key. Han Xin woke up and found the key. It was indeed a paradise on earth. Therefore, I thought that my mother would also enjoy this beautiful scenery. Han Xin helped his mother to the resort and described the beautiful scenery to her as he walked. During this period, he threw the key aside and left his mother alone inside. He went outside to take a nap, and dreamed that the stone door was about to close. Han Xin woke up and found that the stone door had been closed, and his mother had lost her life at the hands of her son!
Another version is that Han Xin listened to a Feng Shui master who said that the children and grandchildren of people buried in this Feng Shui treasure land on a certain day this month will be rich and powerful, so he spent three days taking his mother to The cave that Mr. Feng Shui talked about pushed his mother in. Later, Han Xin became the king and became a general, but in the end he died tragically, bringing disaster to the family.
There is also a similar record in the 92nd volume of "Historical Records", "The Biography of the Marquis of Huaiyin", one of the most valuable historical books in Chinese history: "Although Han Xin was a commoner, his aspirations were different. His mother He died in poverty and had no way to bury him, but he camped in a high and open place, so that thousands of families could be placed next to him. I looked at his mother's tomb, which is good. "Sima Qian must refer to the information of his predecessors in his "Historical Records", but in order to verify it, he personally. I went to Han Xin's mother's grave for research and found that this matter indeed existed.
Han Xin is the founding hero of the Western Han Dynasty. He is one of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty along with Xiao He and Zhang Liang. Allusions such as "Besieged on all sides" and "Ambush on all sides" are a bright star rising after Sun Wu and Bai Qi.
He was only thirty-five years old when he died. He defeated Pengcheng, marched eastward to destroy Zhao, cleverly planned to destroy Qi, pacified the Four Kingdoms, defeated Xiang Yu, was demoted for his achievements, and beheaded the Yi tribe. The ending was tragic. After his death, he was blamed for being unkind and unfilial. No wonder Mr. Sima Qian showed sympathy in his words.
