Why did Xiang Yu commit suicide in Wujiang River?

With a note from Wang Junbi, the food was serenaded, and the Han army and the vassal soldiers were surrounded. That night, when he heard that the Han army was besieged on all sides, Wang Xiang was shocked and said, "Has the Han army gained Chu?" He Chu has so many people! "Wang Xiang up at night, drink on the account. If you have a beauty, you will always be lucky; Good horses are famous and often ride. Therefore, Wang Xiang is a sorrowful and generous poet, who wrote a poem for himself, saying, "If you pull up a mountain, you will be angry with the world. If it is unfavorable, you will not die. "What can I do if I don't die?" Songs count, beauty and it. Xiang Wang cried several times, but both sides cried, afraid to look up.

So Xiang Wang got on his horse and fled south overnight with more than 800 strong men. Pingming, the Han army knew about this, so it ordered the cavalry Guan Ying to chase with 5,000 horses. When Xiang Wang crossed the Huai River, there were more than 100 riders. Wang Xiang went to Yin Ling and got lost. He asked Fu Tian, and Fu Tian said, "Left." Left, it's trapped in Ozawa, so Han can catch up with it. Wang Naifu led his troops to the east, but when he reached the east, he had twenty-eight riders. There are thousands of Han riders.

Xiang Wang couldn't escape, so he rode on his horse: "I have been in the army for eight years and fought more than 70 wars. I have been defeated by people who have been attacked. I have never lost, so I ruled the world. " However, today I am trapped here, and my death on this day is not a crime of war. Today, I am determined to die. I am willing to fight for you soon, and I will win three times. I will break the city, cut the generals and cut the flag for you, and let you know that this is not a war crime. "It is divided into four teams, four directions. The Han army has a large number. King Xiang said he rode a horse. "I'll take one for the public." "

Ride all over the place and visit Shandong. So Xiang Wang shouted that the Han army was invincible, so he beheaded a Han general. At the right time, Chiquan Hou chased Wang Xiang to ride a general. Wang Xiang was very angry and scolded him. Chi Quanhou surprised his soldiers and horses, and it was easy to make miles. Not riding, but three places. The Han army didn't know where Wang Xiang was, but surrounded the army in three ways. Wang Naichi beheaded a captain from Korea, killed hundreds of people, reunited his rider, and killed his second rider. It means he rides: "What?" The riders knelt down and said, "As your Majesty said!"

So Wang Xiang wants to cross the Wujiang River eastward. Director Wujiang Pavilion waited on the boat and said to Wang Xiang, "Although Jiangdong is small, it is far away, with hundreds of thousands of people, which is enough for a king. May the king rush by. Today, I have a boat, and the Han army has arrived, so there is no way to cross it. " King Xiang smiled and said, "What can I do if the sky dies?" ! Besides, 8,000 people crossed the river to the west with Jiangdong's children, and none of them came back today. How can I see them? If you don't say anything, is a person worth it? "

It is said that the director of the pavilion said, "I know the elders. I rode this horse when I was five years old and I was invincible. I tried to travel thousands of miles every day and couldn't bear to kill it for the public. " So all the riders dismounted and walked to fight the short soldiers. Hundreds of Han troops were killed by Du Ji. Wang Xiang was also hit more than ten times. Gu Han Jian rode Sima Lv Matong and said, "If it weren't for my old friend?" Stable boy said to Wang Yi, "This is also a king." Nye said, "I heard that Han bought my head and daughter. I am a good man." He committed suicide.

Full-text translation of Gaixiawei;

Xiang Yu's army camped in Gaixia, and Serenade had little food. Liu Bang's Han army and the armies of Han Xin and Peng Yue were surrounded by layers. In the evening, Xiang Yu heard that Chu songs were being sung around the Han army, and he was shocked and said, "Did the Han army occupy Chu?" Otherwise, how could there be so many Chu people in the Han army? "

Xiang Yu got up overnight and went to Zhongjunzhang to drink. Looking back on the past, there was a beautiful concubine who was loved and often accompanied, and a BMW who often rode on her lap. Now ... so Xiang Yu generously lamented and wrote a poem: "Strength can pull out mountains, heroism can overwhelm me, and the weather is unfavorable." What if the horse doesn't run, concubine, concubine, what should you do! Yu Ji sang over and over again and sang with him. Xiang Yu shed several lines of tears and the guards around him also cried. No one can look up at Xiang Yu.

So Xiang Yu got on the horse, followed by more than 800 strong men, and broke through and fled from the south that night. At dawn, the Han army realized it and ordered the cavalry general Guan Ying to lead five thousand cavalry to pursue Xiang Yu. When Xiang Yu crossed the Huaihe River, only 100 people could keep up with Xiang Yu's cavalry. Xiang Yu got lost when he went to Yinling and asked a farmer for directions. The old farmer lied to him and said, "Turn left." Xiang Yu left and fell into a low-lying land, so he was caught up by the Han army again.

Xiang Yu led the troops to the east again. In Dongcheng, there were only 28 cavalry left, and thousands of Han cavalry were chasing him. Xiang Yu himself estimated that he could not escape this time. His opponent said to the cavalry, "I have been fighting for eight years, and I have experienced more than 70 battles personally, and I have never failed, so I dominate the world." But today I'm finally stuck here. It was God who wanted me to perish, not my mistake in fighting soldiers.

Today, of course, I will fight to the death. I am willing to fight happily for everyone, and I am determined to win all three wars. I'll take your place, deus ex, slay Han Jiang and cut down the handsome flag, so that you can know that this is an act of God, not my mistake in fighting. "So he divided his entourage into four teams and divided them into four directions. Surrounded by the Han army, Xiang Yu said to the cavalry, "I'll cut him off for you." "Command four cavalry attack together, and agreed to meet on the east side of the three mountains.

So Xiang Yu rushed down with a loud cry, and the Han army was defeated and fled. Sure enough, he killed a general of the Han army. At this time, Hou Yangxi of Chiquan served as a cavalry general and was responsible for pursuing Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu glared at him and shouted. Hou Yangxi of Chiquan panicked and retreated for several miles. Xiang Yu met his cavalry at three designated places.

The Han army didn't know where Xiang Yu was, so the soldiers divided into three ways and surrounded him again. Xiang Yu rushed out and beheaded another captain of the Han army, killing more than 100 people. He called the cavalry again and found that only two people were missing, so he asked the rider, "How is it?" The cavalry all praised: "It's as you said!"

So Xiang Yu wanted to cross the Wujiang River eastward. Wujiang Tingchang punted ashore and waited for Xiang Yu. He said to Xiang Yu, "Although Jiangdong is small, Fiona Fang has a land of thousands of miles, and hundreds of thousands of people are enough to be king. Please cross the river quickly. Now only I have a boat, even if the Han army catches up, there is no boat to cross. " Xiang Yu smiled and said, "Heaven wants to kill me. Why should I cross the river? Besides, I, Xiang Yu, led 8,000 children from Jiangdong to cross the Wujiang River to the west. Now, no one survived. Even if the elders in Jiangdong love me and make me king, how can I face them? Or even if they don't say it, don't I feel guilty about Xiang Yu? "

Then he said to the curator, "I know you are a loyal elder." I have been riding this horse for five years and I am invincible. I often travel thousands of miles every day. I can't bear to kill it for you! " "So he ordered all the riders to dismount and walk and fight with daggers and lightsabers. Xiang Yu killed 100,000 Han troops by himself. Xiang Yu himself was injured in more than ten places. Suddenly I turned around and saw Lv Matong, the cavalry of the Han army, and said, "Aren't you my old friend?" Facing Xiang Yu, Lv Matong pointed to Xiang Yu and showed it to Wang Yi, saying, "This man is Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu said, "I heard that Hanwang offered a reward of 200 gold for my head and named it Wan Huhou. I give you this benefit! "Then he committed suicide.

Extended data:

The Surrounding of Gaixia describes the last career of the tragic hero Xiang Yu, mainly showing his heroic demeanor when he failed. Through the description of three scenes: the siege of Gaixia, the quick battle in Dongcheng and the suicide in Wujiang, the author depicts his character from many angles and at many levels, which not only has deep affection for Farewell My Concubine, but also has courage and good fighting when Dongcheng is besieged. There are both the ignorance and conceit of Yin Ling who lost her way and lost to Heaven, and the shame and kindness of Wujiang who refused to cross the river and gave her head to Ma Tingchang and her old friend.

The author is also good at artistic processing of historical facts, and has written many vivid details, such as the elegy of the ages, the chance of life and death in Tianfu Shuo, the shame of parents, and the first gift to Ma Ci in the last scene, which makes this article reach a magnificent and tragic aesthetic realm, making it sad to read.

Biography of Xiang Yu is one of the most important and wonderful chapters in Historical Records. It successfully created the image of Xiang Yu, an omnipotent tragic hero, and showed the complex social changes between Qin and Han Dynasties in various contradictions and conflicts.

The article wrote four things. -Xiang Yu is at the end of the road and has been surrounded by the Han army; When the serenade started, the soldiers were tired of fighting and were attacked on all sides. Second, Xiang Yu blamed his defeat on "bad luck", "bad luck" and "lingering", but failed to see the fatal reasons for his defeat-arrogance and underestimation of the enemy. Thirdly, the author focuses on Xiang Yu's breakthrough and shows his heroic qualities.

After crossing the river, the Chu army 100 people, and finally only 28 people were left, which was 9 hairs less than the 5,000 people besieged by the Han army at that time. Fourth, Wang Xiang refused to go back to Jiangdong to play drums. What he said to the director of the pavilion reflected Xiang Yu's shame and shame to return to Jiangdong. The author does not comment on whether returning to Jiangdong is a success or a failure. However, Du Mu is too optimistic. He has a poem: it is unexpected for a military strategist to win or lose, but it is men who are ashamed. There are many talented children in Jiangdong. Whether they will make a comeback is still unknown.

The Surrounding of Gaixia is the last book of Biography of Xiang Yu. Sima Qian used a variety of artistic techniques in portraying characters, the most important of which was to choose the key events (scenes) that affected Xiang Yu's fate and development, and described in detail that Xiang Yu was not only an all-round hero, but also a tragic hero with rich emotions and distinctive personality. In Farewell My Concubine, Xiang Yu is besieged on all sides, which shows the despair and helplessness of this hero. In the breakthrough of Dongcheng, Xiang Yu, though Serenade, was able to behead several generals in succession, showing his heroic spirit of winning the title of the three armed forces and defeating the pack.

Soldiers retired from Wujiang River and could have crossed the river to make a comeback. However, Xiang Yu committed suicide because he was ashamed to see his elders in Jiangdong, showing his personality characteristics of preferring death to humiliation and being ashamed of righteousness. The description of these three scenes shows the characters' personalities from many angles, making them lifelike and reaching the level of being vividly portrayed. This article is also cleverly conceived, and is good at arranging complex events in an orderly way without a sense of clutter. In the fierce military conflict, the author inserted a touching elegy of Farewell My Concubine, which made the plot develop from fast to slow and the rhythm interesting.

Breaking through the quick battle, the climax is repeated, the plot is closely connected, the transition is natural, the structure is muddy and magnificent. At the end of the article, Taishi Gong Gong Yue warmly praised Xiang Yu's great achievements in the process of eliminating Qin, fully affirmed his historical contribution, criticized his boasting of the mistake of ruling the world by force, and gave regret and sympathy to his failure. The author's evaluation is fair and profound, which contains the author's sense of life experience, which makes Xiang Yu, a tragic figure, have a strong lyrical color.

This paper uses a variety of artistic techniques to shape the image of Xiang Yu. The most important thing is to choose the key events that can best affect the development of Xiang Yu's fate, and at the same time describe the events that can best reflect his personality characteristics, and show the fate and personality characteristics of the characters through the development of the story.

The siege of Gaixia mainly wrote three events: Gaixia's swan song, Dongcheng quick battle and Wujiang suicide. How urgent the military situation was when Xiang Yu's army was besieged! The author wrote Xiang Yu's night drink in a soothing style, lamenting generously and pouring out his feelings for Yu Ji's steed. Only in this way can he show Xiang Yu's anger and the hero's loss and helplessness.

When the East City broke through, Xiang Yu was running out. Faced with failure, he gave up, but he was not persuaded. In order to prove that it was God's will and not his own fault, he put all his eggs in one basket and performed a "quick victory" for his subordinates, beheading the public and reappearing the heroic spirit of killing thousands of people in vain. However, the description mostly highlights that his followers are brave and have no good intentions.

Soldiers retired from the Wujiang River and could have crossed the river to make a comeback. Xiang Yu, on the other hand, would rather die than be humiliated because he was ashamed to see his elders in Jiangdong, which reflected his personality characteristics of being ashamed to live but giving up on himself. As for giving his mount to the pavilion director and his head to an old friend, it highlights his generosity and loyalty.

Xiang Yu is a controversial figure in history. Some people say that he was headstrong, so he lost his country and ended up on the edge of Wujiang River. Some people appreciate his lofty sentiments and would rather die than cross the river.

Xiang Yu is one of the ancients I seldom appreciate. I like his heroism and chivalry. Excuse me: If it weren't for his absolute trust in Liu Bang, how could he have a chance to give Liu Bang a sneak peek? At that time, Xiang Yu had already won the world of the Qin Dynasty. At that time, if you listened to Fan Zeng and killed Liu Bang, how could there be a later Liu Bang? Xiang Yu is Xiang Yu. He is straightforward, and stabbing in the back is something he disdains.

Yu Ji is Xiang Yu and his only true love. Later, in Xiang Yu's narrative, Yu Ji heard that he was surrounded by Liu Bang's army and committed suicide in order not to drag down Xiang Yu. As a bully, he will never let the woman he loves die for him. But history is always cruel. Even if we can go to deus ex and the two of us go to the Wujiang River, we will be double suicide. How did Yu Ji give up his feelings and commitment to Xiang Yu?

Some people say that Yu Ji is a happy woman, because Xiang Yu is not an emperor, so she doesn't have to compete with the harem for favor, and she won't sigh when she is old. "Once spring is gone, beauty will die." However, Xiang won't, because he can't be an emperor. Even if he ascended the throne now, with his nature, he would not doubt that his courtiers would have a sense of crisis. If a rebel thief is added to the imperial robe, he will not believe it if he wants to come, and he will definitely lose the throne in a daze. The mistake is that he should not have been born in troubled times.

The last scene is as clear as a movie. Xiang Yu's Wu Zhui horse was captured. Although loyal, he refused to serve the two masters and jumped into the Wujiang River. Xiang Yu felt ashamed to see his elders in Jiangdong, so he committed suicide on the edge of Wujiang River, and the blood gushed out reflected the red of Wujiang River. Today, I still seem to hear Xiang Yu's desolate song: time is not good for Xi, but what if I don't lose it? Yuji Yujinai? "At that moment, everything seemed to solidify." It's not good for Xi ... "
