Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Don’t Feel Sorry for Xiang Yu
When mentioning Xiang Yu, one will think of the tragic and desolate "Song of Gaixia" about the end of the hero: "Strengthening the mountain and overwhelming the world, but the time is not good and the time is not dying."What can I do if the dying is not dying, what can I do if I am dying?
When you mention Xiang Yu, you will think of Mei Lanfang and Qiu Shengrong co-starring, and think of the beautiful Concubine Yu spinning, spinning, and then falling to the rapid and tense music, so that the Yushan collapses and cannot be supported again, and how to collect it when it is full of red; The grief-stricken Overlord of Chu stroked his sword with one hand, and embraced his concubine with the other. His voice of "concubine" was painful, his pupils were already tearing apart, and his golden armor was wet with tears.
When mentioning Xiang Yu, one will think of Li Yi'an's Wujiang quatrains that are unique in ancient and modern times, lonely for thousands of years, and make many men feel ashamed: live as a hero, and die as a ghost.So far, I miss Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong.
In a nutshell, Chinese people throughout the ages have mourned for Xiang Yu, sighed for Xiang Yu, and shed tears of sympathy.In fact, we don't need to feel sorry for him.
Naturally, Xiang Yu was of noble birth, and he was a descendant of Xiang Yan, a famous general of the Chu State. Soldiers, setting fire to the gorgeous palaces of the Qin Dynasty, and killing the prince of Qin who had bowed his head as a vassal, are all historical "masterpieces" written by him with a wave of his hand.
Naturally, Xiang Yu is not suspicious of heroes like Liu Bang and killed important officials, but he does not know talents and is not good at using people. It is an undeniable fact that he is too brave and lacks heroism. Therefore, Han Xin and Chen Ping left him. Run away with hatred.
If it was Liu Bang, not Xiang Yu, who defeated Gaixia amidst the songs of all sides and killed himself in Wujiang; The two Qin Shihuang who abused the common people, burned books and confuse Confucianism.Therefore, Xiang Yu's tragedy is really the luck of the people, the luck of the world, the luck of history, and also his personal luck. It is this sense of tragedy that creates Xiang Yu's immortal and eternal heroic image.
Therefore, we don't have to feel sorry for Xiang Yu.
