There are many heroes in history. I admire Xiang Yu most. He has both the domineering of a hero and the tenderness of a man. His love with concubine is sad, and Farewell My Concubine is even more impressive.
Xiang Yu was born in a noble family in Chu. There is divine power from an early age, and improper courage from a young age. Qin Shihuang went out to play in his early years and happened to pass by Xiang Yu's hometown. Xiang Yu said to his uncle Xiang Liang,' Qin Shihuang can be replaced. Xiang Liang panicked and quickly covered Xiang Yu's mouth and told him not to talk nonsense, otherwise he would be killed. However, from then on, Xiang Liang began to sit up and take notice of Xiang Yu.
Later, Xiang Yu killed Yin Tong, took over his army and rose up against the State of Qin. In 206 BC, Zhang Han led 400,000 troops to besiege Julu, thinking that there was a signal of victory, but Xiang Yu defeated Zhang Han and later made Zhang Han king, leading Qin Jun to March into Xin 'an. Many vassal soldiers once worked as corvees in the state of Qin and suffered a lot. Now, Chi has become a prisoner, and they are naturally dissatisfied, so they are secretly preparing to rebel. When the vassals knew about this, they told Xiang Yu that they thought that if these flies did not listen to their orders after entering the customs, it would definitely cause great disaster. So, Xiang Yu killed all the flies in Xin 'an.
Xiang Yu has experienced countless wars in his life, but he still calls himself the overlord of Xi Chu. However, such a hero was surrounded by Liu Bang eight years later and was finally forced to Wujiang River. Wujiang witnessed the sad love between the king of Chu and concubine Yu. Finally, the king of Chu killed himself in Wujiang River, and a generation of heroes passed away.
According to historical records, after the defeat and suicide of the King of Chu, except Lu Xian County, all Chu surrendered to Hanwang Liu Bang. They did not believe that Xiang Yu was dead. Until Hanwang Enemy at the Gates, they remained loyal to the King of Chu and were ready to die. Hanwang showed Xiang Yu's head to people in Lu Xian County. Li, a general guarding the city loyal to the king of Chu, committed suicide and the county was broken. At the beginning, the seal was made public. After his death, Luxian County was the last place to surrender. The ancient city has always been the base of Xiang Yu. So, Hanwang buried Xiang Yu, the king of Chu, in the ancient city area, and then buried General Li next to Xiang Yu's mausoleum.
However, there are two other places called the Tomb of the King of Chu. One is Anhui Province, and next to him is Yuji's Tomb. According to legend, after Xiang Yu committed suicide, his body and bloody clothes were buried here, so this place is also called the cenotaph. Later, someone built a pavilion here to offer sacrifices, which was called "Xiangting". Another overlord's tomb is in Qufu. According to legend, Xiang Yu's head is buried here, so it is also called overlord's head. There is also a legend about Wang Xiang.
So, where is the real tomb of Xiang Wang? I think we should follow the historical materials. According to records, Wang Xiang was buried in Gucheng. Therefore, Wang Xiang's tomb in Gucheng is more credible. Today's tomb of Xiang Wang has long been mottled and most of it has been destroyed. There is only one tombstone left in front of the tomb, which says the tomb of the king of Chu. Weeds are overgrown and trampled.
A generation of heroes died in this way, but his heroic story has been passed down to this day, and many literati wrote poems for it. "Life is a hero, death is a ghost male. So far, thinking of Xiang Yu and rejecting Jiangdong are still praised by people. He is our hero, and his courage is admirable. At the same time, the love story between him and Yu Ji is also legendary. Heroes love mountains and rivers, but also love beauty, farewell my concubine has become a swan song.
