Why is Xiang Yu's death because of his tragic character?

In 202 BC, Xiang Yu defeated Wujiang River. This is a hero who would rather die standing than live kneeling. From the day he picked up the weapon, he never thought about putting it down. On the contrary, at the last moment of life, we should hold high, just like a performing artist, and let the performance reach its climax at the curtain call.

He died a heroic, heroic, vigorous and earth-shattering death, as if the water of Wujiang River was sobbing for it, causing waves and churning.

However, Xiang Yu died miserably.

While Wang Jian got Xiang Yu's head, other soldiers of the Han army rushed to trample on the horses and compete for Xiang Yu's body, resulting in killing each other and killing dozens of people. Our hero, once a hero who dared not look up to these people, could not die a corpse under their despicable competition.

It' s really "the tiger fell to Pingyang and was bullied by the dog."

Xiang Yu's tragedy is the tragedy of the times. The era before Xiang Yu was a heroic era, and the sense of nobility and heroism was the spirit of that era, symbolized by tiger and leopard. However, since Qin Shihuang initiated the centralization of feudal autocracy, the era of heroes began to decline. There is no long talk between the monarch and the minister. Instead, they salute and kowtow like garlic. Gone are the days when rangers and counselors could display their talents. Instead, they get help from small groups and please powerful people. Gone are the days when a hundred schools of thought contended. On the contrary, Confucianism is the only thing worthy of respect, and a hundred schools of thought contend and are expelled. Power and desire become the dominant and driving force, and personality and dignity are castrated and trampled.

Thus, the tiger and leopard representing this hero died alone on the grassland, while a vulgar wolf and a mediocre sheep stepped on their bodies and bit off their meat to take credit.

And the leader of this group of wolves and sheep is Liu Bang. Although Liu Bang can also be called a bloody person, in 195 BC, Liu Bang returned to his hometown of Pei County and invited his old friends and elders to drink. When he is in a good mood, he sings "The Song of the Big Wind" to himself: the wind blows and clouds fly, Wei Jiahai returns to his hometown, and the brave are safe. Song was generous and sad, with tears streaming down her face. What a sad wanderer for his hometown! However, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty represented an autocratic system, which was ruthless and destroyed human nature. Liu Bang inherited the career of Qin Shihuang. He wanted to centralize power and treat everyone in the world as one person, so he wanted to destroy those heroes, such as Han Xin and Peng Yue. Killing heroes is an inevitable task of authoritarian politics. It's really "a sly rabbit dies and a running dog cooks." High birds are tired, but good bows hide. Destroy the enemy, and the adviser dies. "

Innocent and willful heroes like Xiang Yu will become less and less with the improvement of the autocratic system. There will be more and more insidious schemers and pedantic and loyal bookworms.

The late Qin Dynasty and the early Han Dynasty were the most atmospheric times in China's history, and Xiang Yu's death heralded the end of a heroic era. After the era of tiger and leopard is over, it will be replaced by the era of wolf and sheep, and wolves will surely degenerate into dogs and running dogs.

Xiang Yu started his army at the age of 24 and committed suicide in his early thirties. His short and magnificent life has left us many stories, legends and idioms, such as The Book of Changes at Night, Embattled, Farewell My Concubine and so on. The most popular is Li Qingzhao's five wonders: life is a hero and death is a ghost. Today, people still miss Xiang Yu because he refused to live and returned to the East.

Maybe it's just that God wants Liu Bang to live.

Why are you indecisive?

At that time, the world had just begun. Although various governors followed Xiang Yu's example in succession, they still had their own plans for the sake of interests. Killing Liu Bang at this time will definitely make him lose the hearts of the people.

Besides, Xiang Yu is a generous person. How could he kill his comrades? It is Liu Bang who is heartless and unjust. After killing Xiang Yu, the recruited kings were eradicated one by one until the last day.

Since ancient times, how many gentlemen have won the battle between villains and gentlemen?

Looking through the historical picture of the dispute between Chu and Han of the Chinese nation, the omnipotent situation and great personality charm of the overlord of the western Chu Dynasty, as well as his life tragedy of "the hero was beheaded at last", all shocked our souls. It touched our hearts and brought us deep regret. It seems to be an endless alarm, silently urging us to ponder and reflect. Thus giving us endless enlightenment.

At the end of the Chu-Han War, Xiang Yu, the ever-victorious general, was even more complacent and pretentious after winning the battle of Pengcheng. Under the sinister situation of "no self-knowledge inside and no strategist outside", he was surrounded by Liu Bang and was in trouble. When he was ready to break through, his only concern was his beloved concubine Yu Ji. He sang "Goodbye to Kyrgyzstan" and burst into tears. The concubine is powerless expresses his helplessness that he can't take his beloved princess with him. Xiang Yu, an iron fighting hero, was in tears at the moment to love his children. His tenderness infected everyone around him and touched people from generation to generation. Love, the most beautiful emotion of human beings, has been a beautiful and eternal topic since ancient times. Xiang Yu's sad, mournful and tearful scene when he bid farewell to his concubine will be sung through the ages. At the critical moment, his sincere feelings of joining hands with Yu Ji left a touching love story for future generations.

After Xiang Yu's farewell, "being besieged on all sides" gave him the illusion of "flying daggers". When he fled to Dongcheng while fighting, there were only 28 strong men around him. At this point, Xiang Yu didn't realize that it was his own mistake. He was defeated to such a degree, but he thought it was "the devil takes the hindmost"! On the bank of the Wujiang River, there was originally a boat that could send him to cross the Wujiang River eastward and regain his glory. However, he was "ashamed to meet his elders in Jiangdong" and gave the BMW, which had been with him for seven years and had been through many battles, to Tingchang. Chi sighed when he saw Liu Bang's general (former general of Xiang Yu Handicraft Factory) in pursuit. You are my old friend, so I give you my head! So he laughed and pulled Liu Qu to commit suicide. This hero, who was praised as the God of War by later generations, ended his life at the age of 3l. The Chu-Han War ended in Xiang Yu's fiasco.

Cross the rubicon, Farewell My Concubine, Seeing the elders in Jiangdong is not shameful, Seeing the Pavilion Director with BMW and Seeing the Head of an Old Friend show Xiang Yu's extraordinary courage and great personality charm, which is praised by generations. At the same time, people deeply regret his tragic ending of "Farewell My Concubine and commit suicide on Wujiang River".

Recalling the Battle of Julu at the end of Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu broke his oath and sank Dan. Fight bravely. Completely annihilated the main force of the Qin dynasty. Later, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang fought a life-and-death battle in Pengcheng. Because Xiang Yu made a sudden attack on the local land, Liu Bang was defeated unprepared. Xiang Yu defeated Liu Bang's army of 560,000 men with 30,000 men. However, in the battle of Xingyang with Liu Bang for two years and four months, the domineering overlord was defeated so much that he was besieged by Liu Bang and finally committed suicide in Wujiang River.

A person's character can determine his life's fate. During his war career, Xiang Yu always believed that he was brave and invincible, but he never knew how to cherish the useful talents around him. He was bent on his own way, which made a large number of talents abandon him. Han Xin, a famous soldier, sought a job in Xiang Yu Group in his early years. Unfortunately, Xiang Yu didn't have Xiao He's eye, which made this military genius useless, so he did not hesitate to jump ship to Liu Bang. Later, Liu Bang, who could listen to good words and make good use of talents, listened to the plan of Chen Ping, an adviser, and let Xiang Yu lose his only adviser, Fan Zeng. Since then, the overlord of Chu has become a veritable loner!

Throughout the history of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign civilizations, no decision-maker and leader who can be courteous to the corporal but be meritocratic has suffered so much as Xiang Yu! Yes, for thousands of years, many people have lamented Xiang Yu. Imagine if Han Xin assisted Xiang Yu, if a large number of military advisers, such as Fan Zeng, never gave up and were highly valued, what would be the outcome of the Chu-Han War!

For more than two thousand years, scholars have different opinions about Xiang Yu, and most of them think that this man is brave and courageous. The failure to kill Liu Bang at the Hongmen banquet is a typical example. Some people think that Xiang Yu's behavior at the Hongmen banquet is a kind of "woman's benevolence"; What's more, if Xiang Yu got rid of Liu Bang at that time, he wouldn't have committed suicide. I don't think Xiang Yu killed Liu Bang after the Hongmen banquet. Although there is a suspicion of "women's benevolence", it is by no means foolhardy. Liu Bang took Sean, Fan Kuai and other confidants to dinner. As soon as he saw Xiang Yu, he said, "I attacked Qin with the general. The general fought bloody battles north of the Yellow River, and I fought south of the Yellow River. I didn't expect to enter the customs first, so I had to meet the general here. Because of the rumors of villains, the gap between me and the general has been created. When I met the general, I expressed my mind, as you please. " Xiang Yu immediately replied: "This is all because of the nonsense of Sajima and Cao of Pei Gong. Why should I hate you? "

Liu bang is cunning and full of lies. But I think Xiang Yu is by no means retarded, so it is easy to believe Liu Bang's one-sided words. Cao is bound to become a whipping boy! At that time, Xiang Yu commanded the rebels of the five countries and became the real dominant figure in the current situation. Liu bang, whose strength is second only to Xiang Yu, took the lead in leading the army into Guanzhong. According to the agreement between General Peng Cheng and Emperor Yi, whoever leads the army into Guanzhong first is the king of Guanzhong. It is not difficult for Xiang Yu to kill Liu Bang, but the problem is that it will give people a handle and accuse him of breaking the contract, which is not conducive to stabilizing the rebels. In that war-torn era, Liu Bang had no place in Xiang Yu's eyes. Who is sure that he can accommodate other rebel leaders? And at that time, the strength of the two armies in Xiang Liu was far from each other. Xiang Yu was confident that he could bridle Liu Bang, so he didn't have to risk killing Liu Bang to upset his morale.

Therefore, from Xiang Yu's character, we should not only see his talented and brave side, but also know how to pay attention to strategy. Before the next world war, he had experienced more than 70 wars, and all the soldiers pointed out that he had surrendered to pieces, and he had never suffered defeat. I would like to ask, is this kind of meritorious military service beyond the reach of the brave? But then again, his strategy is indeed much worse than Liu Bang's machinations. Just like tigers and foxes foraging, tigers should not only know how to attack at the right time, but also waste some energy to satisfy their food. The fox's cunning lies in that it can fool the piece of meat in the crow's mouth as long as it talks. This is the difference!

Frank is a major feature of Xiang Yu's character. In that treacherous war era, it was doomed that he could only be a hero who shocked the past and achieved a bright future, but not an emperor who was good at politics. Chu and Han contended, and the war lasted for years, and the people were miserable. In order to end the war as soon as possible, Xiang Yu had a decisive personal duel with Liu Bang in front of Guangwu array: "The world has been fighting for years, but it is only because you and I are fighting for the world. Now, I hope that you and I will fight directly to decide the male and female, and don't let the people of the world suffer from war in vain. " Xiang Yu's quick words directly pointed out the essence of this war, instead of finding a high-sounding excuse every time he launched a war, like the kings of the past, he either punished the sky or hanged the people. Xiang Yu's frankness is precisely the expression of his political naivety. In the war of regime change, how can one win or lose? Besides, when confronted with Xiang Yu, didn't Liu Bang run away? For Liu Bang, this way of deciding the outcome is tantamount to throwing eggs at stones. He sneered disdainfully: "I'd rather fight than fight!" " Xiang Yu was frank and classified the dispute between Chu and Han as a dispute between them. Liu bang, on the other hand, did the opposite, hoping that everyone in the world would take part in his war to kill Xiang Yu. So he wrote a political article, criticizing Xiang Yu's so-called top ten crimes, and deliberately stimulating him to say, "I am in charge of the militia, uniting with local governors, and punishing thieves who endanger the world together." I only need to order Yu thief to kill you, Xiang Yu, so why fight you face to face? " Xiang Yu was furious and ordered the archers to shoot arrows. An arrow hit Liu Bang in the chest and was seriously injured. Cunning Liu Bang crouched on the saddle and pretended to caress his feet with one hand. Then, while returning to the military camp to heal, he cursed: "That bastard shot my big foot!" " "In this way, Liu Bang covered up the fact that he was shot in the chest, stabilized the morale of the army and prevented the army of Xiang Yu from attacking indiscriminately. This in itself is a manifestation of the fighting spirit without fighting capacity.

Xiang Yu will do what he says, and what he does will bear fruit. We admire this kind of person because he keeps his word, but the ruthlessness of history lies in that it clearly tells us that such people are often calculated by villains. When the confrontation between the two armies of Chu and Han couldn't be broken, the rear of the Chu army was pinned down by Han Xin and Peng Yue. At this critical moment, Liu bang hypocritically demanded a truce to make peace, but asked Xiang Yu to release his parents, wives and concubines. Xiang Yu agreed to Liu Bang's request after several thoughts and weighing. So he divided the Chu-He Han boundary and shared the world with Liu Bang. After the two sides fulfilled the Covenant ceremony, Xiang Yu immediately released the hostages and immediately led the army eastward. Soldiers who suffered from war and suffering shouted long live for this. In this blow, if Xiang Yu is wrong, then he is wrong to go to the belly of a villain with a gentleman's heart and know yourself without knowing it! This is a big taboo for leading troops to fight. After the hostages were released, Liu Bang never had any worries about traveling by boat. It was nothing for him to turn his back on Liu Bang, so he took advantage of the promise to retreat the Chu army unprepared. The key to the death of Chu and the prosperity of Han lies in this blow! I regret that the benevolent gentleman in history is often calculated by the villain; But I am glad that future generations can abandon the historical view of victory and defeat and give the hero a fair evaluation!

Although Liu Bang is not a hero, he is also a lean man. He is good at playing politics, and he plays it wonderfully. Therefore, he is good at catching fighters and pulling talents. Xiang Yu's loss of the world began with the loss of people; Liu bang's success in the world began with winning people.

Liu Bang is often arrogant and prone to abuse of power, but he is driven by a group of generals and think tanks. As far as human resource management is concerned, Liu Bang does have something extraordinary. Let's see how he got his talent. Xiao He chased the fugitive Han Xin, and it was too late to leave early. Liu Bang heard that Xiao He had escaped. If he lost his right hand and left hand, he would be fidgety all day and swear at every turn. After Xiao He came back, he swore and expressed a feeling of closeness and dependence. And after Han Xin captured Qi, in order to appease Qi, he sent messengers to ask Liu Bang to give him the title of "Fake King of Qi". Liu Bang cursed the envoy: "A gentleman needs to be upright to pacify the vassal states. Why do you want to be a fake king? " Swearing can make him like this, which is really beyond the reach of ordinary people. He promoted the status of the scolded person, affirmed the ability of the other party, and made the other party feel highly valued. As the saying goes, "a scholar dies for his bosom friend", no wonder so many people are willing to be used by him. Although Xiang treated him with courtesy, he was jealous of talent and was afraid that others would surpass him. Think tanks like Chen Ping and military wizards like Han Xin used to be his subordinates. Unfortunately, he failed to make them do their best, and he wouldn't play tricks like Liu Bang to win people's hearts. So the two of them finally took refuge in Liu Bang, and they were able to show their ambitions and made indelible contributions to the Han Dynasty.

Emperors have always been above, and they think they are sent by heaven to rule the people, so they are called the sons of heaven. Emperors never make mistakes, because the standard of right and wrong is up to them. Only others cater to them, and they have no reason to bow to others. However, in order to win the hearts of the people, Liu Bang often condescends to seek merit, which is his most precious place. Because he knows very well that the so-called "condescension" is just a show, and he still has the final say in national politics. Since it's harmless and you can let your men follow you wholeheartedly, why not? After Xiao He became prime minister, he pleaded for the people and suggested that Liu Bang open the Shanglin Garden controlled by the royal family to the people, so as to alleviate the people's urgent demand for cultivated land. Liu Bang believes that it is false for Xiao He to accept bribes from businessmen and plead for the people, but it is true for him to seek personal gain. As a result, Yan Long was furious and put this first-class hero and incomparable Guo Xiang in prison. Later, Wang Weiwei bluntly remonstrated, and Liu Bang knew that he was indefensible and had to let Xiao He go. Liu Bang said to Xiao He regretfully, "Guo Xiang, forget it! Guo Xiang defends the people, but I don't agree. From this point of view, I was only a tyrant in Xia Jie and Shang Zhou, while Guo Xiang was a saint. I deliberately imprisoned Guo Xiang just to let the people know my fault. " If anyone thinks that Liu Bang's explanation has the slightest intention of repentance, it is all wet! This kind of performance is just a means of persuading people. At that time, the monarchy was absolute, and the emperor could be lawless. Xiao He's imprisonment and pardon were all between Liu Bang's thoughts, in a word. However, Liu Bang didn't want this privilege of king supremacy to be exposed naked in front of the world, which was not conducive to his consolidation of the country. So he created an illusion similar to what we now call democracy: I, Liu Bang, made mistakes, but I can correct my mistakes, be good at training and have a clear court. This will not only help him attract talents, win the support of his subordinates, but also find a good step for himself to step down. Everyone's power of life and death will always be in Liu Bang's hands. What's wrong with condescending to be a tyrant and recognizing Xiao He as a saint?

In pursuit of honor, Xiang Yu lost his life to pursue interests, and Liu Bang saved his life. At the Hongmen banquet, Liu Bang endured humiliation and dragged out an ignoble existence, kneeling in front of Wang Xiang; Xingyang pretended to surrender and sacrificed its Ministry Ji Xin as a whipping boy; Gao fled alone and deprived Han Xin of the military power to save Gao's failure. He can handle all this calmly. He is very particular about welfare. As long as he can live, he can turn defeat into victory. He doesn't care what means he uses or how much face he loses. He adheres to the principle that life is worse than death. Xiang Yu disdained to find a way out for himself by such despicable means. Liu Bang can escape and drag out an ignoble existence, but when Xiang Yu was defeated, he died generously and for honor.

Looking back at history, the demise of Chu State and the rise of Han Dynasty were the result of many reasons, but the personalities of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang undoubtedly decided their completely different fates to a great extent. When reading history, there is always a sense of resentment. When I read these two poems, "There are many talented people in Jiangdong, and it is unknown to make a comeback" and "I still miss Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong", I applaud and feel the same way.

Everyone has a different personality,

Some are more masculine,

There are also feminine ones.

Xiang Yu is the former,

So he was defeated,

Choose a more heroic way to end yourself.

And if Xiang Yu is the latter,

You'll surrender,

You won't die.

Therefore, although Xiang Yu is a strong-willed figure,

It is also a tragic ending.

So Xiang Yu died because of his tragic character.
