Chapter 6 5. Where does the difference come from

In the same situation, why do the two show such a big contrast?We can analyze it from the following aspects: First, the age difference. In terms of age, Liu Bang is twenty-four years older than Xiang Yu, and Xiang Yu was in his early twenties when he said this, just at the age of youth.Liu Bang should have seen Qin Shihuang earlier than Xiang Yu. Even if Qin Shihuang was seen by Liu Bang when he first came to the throne, he was at least eleven or twelve years older than Xiang Yu when he saw Qin Shihuang, and he was still in his thirties. Some people are dissatisfied with this, and will cite a number of vivid examples of young people who are mature or young and promising. I admit this and admire it, but this can only show the difference in intelligence and hard work. Don't say that the difference will not be too big Even if it is big, it cannot replace human experience and experience.A person's experience and experience cannot be solved by pure intellect and hard work, although sometimes they can play a role in promoting.Every stage of life is different. If you are not that age, you will never do the things of that age.So in terms of age, Liu Bang is more knowledgeable than Xiang Yu, and it is destined that he will not be as outspoken as Xiang Yu.

Second, the difference in identity. Everyone has a misunderstanding, thinking that Xiang Yu is from aristocratic background and Liu Bang is a rogue who settled down, so Xiang Yu has a noble temperament and Liu Bang is a rascal at home, or that Xiang Yu is of higher quality than Liu Bang.There is some truth to this statement, but it is not entirely true.Quality depends on performance, quality, Xiang Yu is definitely higher than Liu Bang, Liu Bang drinks and visits brothels, and his style is not flattering; in terms of integrity, Xiang Yu is also higher than Liu Bang, Liu Bang dares to drink other people's rubbish without a penny, this Shi Yu couldn't do it anyway.But when it comes to politics, Xiang Yu is not as good as Liu Bang.No matter how rich Xiang Yu's family background is and how glorious his ancestors are, he is still just a second-generation rich or official. He himself is still among the unemployed and has no specific livelihood to do.No matter how bad Liu Bang is, he is still a low-level civil servant. He has been deeply influenced by his ears and eyes, and his political quality must be higher than that of Xiang Yu.So seeing Qin Shihuang, Liu Bang would say envious words, while Xiang Yu would only say reactionary words.

Third, the emotional difference. Xiang Yu only hated Qin Shihuang, because he felt that Qin Shihuang had robbed him of his prestige.The Xiang family has been the general of the Chu State for generations, and the grandfather Xiang Yan is the pillar of the Chu State. He has no worries about food and clothing and is respected by others.After repelling Li Xin's 200,000 troops, the Xiang family also reached the pinnacle of glory.But this brilliance lasted too short. Wang Jian's 600,000 troops suppressed the border, Xiang Yan committed suicide after being defeated, and the Xiang family fell from the peak to the bottom.From scenery to relaxation, Xiang Yu can't turn this corner all at once.

The glory of the family is not far away, lingering, this has become a knot in Xiang Yu's heart.Just like a frustrated official who always recalls his past majesty, on the surface of talking and laughing, there is deep regret of loss and frustration.Although Xiang Yu was only ten years old when Xiang Yan died, his memory may be a little fuzzy, but his uncle Xiang Liang still remembers it vividly. He might not pass on his emotions to Xiang Yu, right?It was thanks to Qin Shihuang that the Xiang family fell into such a field.Therefore, the more majestic Qin Shihuang was, the more disappointed Xiang Yu was. This feeling of loss sometimes arouses people's wildness.When the wildness comes out, there is nothing to be afraid of, so he dares to say things that are taboo in the world.

Liu Bang has no hatred for Qin Shihuang. As a local official of the Qin Dynasty, he is eating the salary and enjoying the power given by Qin Shihuang. He should be grateful to Qin Shihuang.Even if he occasionally complains when he is unhappy, picks up the bowl to eat meat, puts down his chopsticks and scolds his mother, he should not have substantive hatred for Qin Shihuang, because Qin Shihuang did not harm his interests.
