[Edit this paragraph] According to historical records, Zi Zhi Tong Jian records that Xiang Liang killed people and brought Xiang Yu to Wuzhong from Xiaxiang, which is Suzhou today. The Yu family is a prominent family in Wuzhong (at the end of Qin Dynasty, wuyue was set as Huiji County, and Wu (now Suzhou) was taken as the county government). Xiang Liang's uncle made friends with the children in Jiangdong here. Yu Ji (estimated to be a local aristocrat), a beautiful woman of the Yu family in Wuzhong, admired Xiang Yu's reputation, married Xiang Yu and stayed with her all the time. Or it can be said that Xiang Yu was lucky enough to know Yu Ji, and he got this beauty.

It is said that Yuji is a beautiful city in the south of the Yangtze River, full of long-standing culture-Shaoxing. Her specific birthplace is Zhaxi village at the foot of the beautiful girl mountain in Julie Town, Shaoxing County. The Beauty Mountain in Wonder Woman is also named after this place. The beautiful Daughter Mountain is adjacent to Lanting, the holy place of calligraphy, and Zhuji, the hometown of the teacher. It is not surprising that there are beautiful women here.

Now there is a winding Yuji ditch in Yanji Township, Shuyang County, named after people. There are Rouge Well, Wang Ba Bridge, Jiulongkou, Dianjiangtai, Xiangzhai and other historical sites beside the ditch.

Yu Ji often goes out with Xiang Yu. In the late period of the Chu-Han dispute, Xiang Yu tended to lose. In 202 BC, it was besieged by the Han army (now south of Lingbi County, Anhui Province), and the food was serenaded. Embattled at night, heartbroken. Facing Yu Ji, he drank wine and sighed in the camp: "If you pull out the mountain, you will be angry and you will not die." The lyrics are desolate and tragic, with tender feelings, which can be called "Children's Song" (written by Xiang Yu).

At this moment, this all-powerful figure also reveals the lament of being immersed in love and shortness of breath. Yu Ji, who accompanied him, drew his sword and danced sadly, and made peace with her with a song: "The Han soldiers have just arrived, and the four sides are singing; Your majesty's spirit is exhausted and he can't live with my concubine. " Singing suicide, in order to break Xiang Yu's affair, arouse Xiang Yu's fighting spirit and hope to break through successfully. Later, a Qing Dynasty poet wrote a poem in the tone of Yu Ji: "The king is in high spirits, why did my concubine enter the Han Palace?" Blood turns into riverside grass, and flowers are redder than azaleas. "Yu Ji is so honest and loyal to love that people still praise her. [Edit this paragraph] Historical Relics During the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, people from Yuji's hometown set up a Yuji Temple in the west of yan ji zhen to worship this heroic woman. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, villagers Wu Jiuling and Ye Xianglin built a temple and a back hall for the temple. The temple looks magnificent, and a statue of Yuji is enshrined in the main hall, which shows the high respect of the people in my hometown for Yuji.

Yuan Mei, a famous litterateur and poet in Qing Dynasty, was once the magistrate of Shuyang County. When I revisited Shuyang after a 43-year absence, I went to Yanji Township to pay my respects to Yuji, wrote a poem "Wandering in the Valley Yuji Temple" and noted to myself: "It is said that Yuji's hometown is also the hometown of Shu people." Its poem cloud:

In order to owe Yu Ji a poem, he went back to Guling Temple bald.

There are scattered beautiful women in the three armies, but who are the six dead women?

There is a statue of Wu Zhui beside the seat, which is convenient for you to visit the king and ride a horse under the moon.

During the Republic of China, Yuji Temple was built. During the period of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, soldiers were destroyed by disrepair.

Shuyang people have a long history. For thousands of years, there have been many legends about concubines among the people in Shuyang. There is also a thrilling historical tragedy in Beijing Opera-Farewell My Concubine.

There is a stone tablet engraved with couplets in front of Yuji's Tomb:

Part I: I'm afraid I can't help it. Beauty is unlucky since ancient times, Yuji's Tomb.

The second part: Ji 'an is now a green grave in the yellow dusk.

Horizontal criticism: women will be beautiful for a thousand years. [Edit this paragraph] The rumored life story Yu Ji was a native of Jiangsu at the end of Qin Dynasty and a favorite of Xiang Yu, the overlord of the Western Chu Dynasty.

In 209 BC, Xiang Yu helped his uncle Xiang Liang to fight against Qin. Yu Ziqi is a soldier in Xiang Yu's army, and Yu Ziqi's sister Yu Ji is not only beautiful, but also has martial arts. She worships young and brave Xiang Yu very much and wants to marry him as a concubine. With Xiang Yu, Xiang Liang died and Xiang Yu was promoted to general. After the Battle of Julu, Xiang Yu became famous far and wide. Soon Xiang Yu entered the customs and became the overlord of the place of Chu. During the war years, Yu Ji and Xiang Yu were inseparable and had deep feelings.

In 202 BC, Hanwang Liu Bang and Xiang Yu competed for the world, and Xiang Yu was trapped by Liu Bang. Many people under Liu Bang can sing Chu songs. Xiang Yu failed to break through several times, and the soldiers ran out of food. At night, he heard that Chu was completely lost. When Chu Yingbing heard the songs in his hometown, his morale was scattered and he fled in succession. When the overlord of Chu saw that the tide was gone, his heart ached. He didn't miss anything except his concubines. When they were drinking, they couldn't help singing "Song of the Son" sadly: "When the mountain is pulled out, they will be angry with the world, and when it is unfavorable, they will not die. What can I do if I don't die? "

Yu Ji danced sadly, with tears in his eyes, and sang "The Song of Harmony": "The Han soldiers are already weak, and songs are everywhere. Your majesty is exhausted and can't live with my concubine! "

Yu Ji's Song of Harmony is not only a rare sad song of death in history, but also a sad song of love. Yu Ji finished singing this song and drew his sword to commit suicide.

Xiang Yu was so sad that he had to bury Yu Ji in a hurry. Then Xiang Yu broke through the night with 800 cavalry and was chased by the Han army to Wujiang River. Director Wujiang said that Jiangdong is still the land of the overlord, and the Han army has no boat, so that the overlord can make a comeback across the river. Wang Xiang said that he was ashamed to say goodbye to Jiangdong's elders, and he also refused the kindness of Wujiang Tingchang. He gave Wu Zhui a horse to the director of Wujiang Pavilion, and then led 28 soldiers to fight hand to hand, killing the Han army again. Finally, Wang Xiang met Lv Matong and generously gave his head to Lv Matong.
