A poem written by Yu Ji before his suicide was "The Song of Harmony". Original: Han soldiers have been slightly, and Chu songs are everywhere. How can Yu Ji live when she is exhausted? Hanwang Liu Bang's army has captured the land of Chu, and the sad voice of Chu came from all directions. Your majesty, your heroism and strong will have run out. Why should I drag out an ignoble existence?
According to legend, Song of the King is a poem written by Yu Ji in the western Chu Dynasty in response to Xiang Yu's Song of Gaixia. This poem expresses Yu Ji's loyalty to love and farewell to life, taking the oath of life and death as the word, dedicating himself with a crystal clear affection, breaking Xiang Yu's affair, inspiring Xiang Yu's fighting spirit and hoping him to break through successfully. The whole poem is strong in generalization and lyrical and touching.
This poem "Historical Records" and "Hanshu" are not collected. The Justice of Historical Records by Tang and Zhang Shoujie was quoted from the Spring and Autumn Period of Chu and Han Dynasties and has been passed down to this day. Chu Han Chun Qiu was written by Lu Jia in the early Han Dynasty, but it was still different in the Tang Dynasty. Liu Zhiji, Sima Zhen and Zhang Shoujie all witnessed it, and the number of articles is the same as that in Han Shu Literature and Art Annals. Song of the King was compiled from this book.
Overall appreciation
The spirit of pulling out the mountain is not harmonious with the ending of failure, but the loyal love of heroes and beauties is harmonious. At the critical moment of life and death, Yu Ji's song is not a mourning for Xiang Yu's death, but an encouragement to life.
