X. Xiang Yu:
Ji Xiang, Yu Zi, the first valiant soldier in ancient China, was one of the twelve biographies of Sima Qian in Historical Records, and became the first person to enter this subject as a non-emperor in the official history of China.
Xiang Yu, who was not ambitious, was able to raise the tripod and said to himself, "Although the sword is one enemy, he lacks knowledge, so he can learn from ten thousand enemies." There is also a poem that says, "There is no limit to pulling up mountains, and it is indisputable to be angry." In the Peking Opera "Shooting a halberd at Yuanmen", Lyu3 bu4 has a aria, and the plate is set to 26. The first sentence is, "A general can't be brave, it's better to be a tyrant of Chu." It can be seen that even Lu Bu is in awe of Xiang Yu. He started the uprising with only 8,000 soldiers in Jiangdong, and later recruited hundreds of thousands of soldiers. He is called "the overlord of the place of Chu". He destroyed Qin first, then fought for the world with Liu Bang, lost in front of Jiuli Mountain, and finally committed suicide in Wujiang River, but left a farewell concubine who never died. It can be called both heroic and heroic, and it can also be called a romantic figure.
Nine, Li Mu
His great achievement is A Record of Xiongnu. Li Mu is a native of Zhao, who has been threatened by Xiongnu. Zhao Jun was repeatedly defeated by Xiongnu, so that King Wuling of Zhao rode and shot in Khufu, knowing shame and being brave. Zhao Jun learned from Xiongnu in equipment and tactics, and established cavalry units that shocked the six countries. Li Mu really only fought with Xiongnu once, but only this time, he fought with Xiongnu for almost ten years and didn't dare to go south. In this battle, Li Mu gave full play to the wisdom of Sun Tzu's Art of War. At first, he lost five wars in a row, abandoned countless cattle and sheep, lured the main force of Xiongnu from the grassland they were good at to the periphery of the Great Wall where the Han people were good at, fought a decisive battle, and paralyzed his opponent by showing weakness to the enemy. Then rush out, gather troops in the middle of the night, attack the Xiongnu camp at night, and kill the Xiongnu knight riding in his sleep. At the same time, heavy chariots surrounded the exit of Xiongnu camp and shot Xiongnu fugitives with arrows as dense as locusts. In this campaign, the main force of Xiongnu was almost wiped out, and it was difficult to recover for several years. What's important is that this war is a classic example of the coordinated operation of the Han army, which provides a classic example for the Han regime to fight against the Huns in the future ~
Eight, Qin Shihuang
In 22 1 year BC, Qin Shihuang unified China, which had been divided for hundreds of years, and established centralization of authority, which has an influence to this day. The first iron-fisted emperor taxed the people and built water conservancy and civil engineering. He also unified national weights and measures and writing. The name of the powerful Qin Dynasty spread abroad, and foreign countries called China "Qin" (zhina). He is the first politician in China who enjoys a world reputation and the second most famous monarch.
Among the ancient emperors in China, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was the most internationally renowned. In the eyes of westerners, he was the king at the peak of China in ancient times and the most successful emperor in China. He respected Confucianism as the official theory and strengthened centralization of authority. He conquered a large area of land south of the Yangtze River and a part of Korea, and opened up the "Silk Road" with far-reaching significance in the communication between China and the West. He made the Chinese Empire achieve the prosperity of the Roman Empire in the same period. Some western scholars believe that he can be called Caesar, Alexander or Octavian of China.
Sixth, Zhuge Liang
Outstanding statesmen and military strategists in the Three Kingdoms period were regarded as the model of "good looks through the ages". Parents died early and were raised by Uncle Xuan. Later, due to the chaos in Xuzhou, I avoided the chaos in Jingzhou, concentrated on my studies and remained indifferent to my ambitions. After Liu Bei visited the cottage, he put forward the famous "Long Zhong Dui", instigated Sun and Liu to form an alliance, and Battle of Red Cliffs defeated Cao Cao, which laid the foundation for the tripartite confrontation among the three countries. Shu Han was established and worshipped as prime minister. Liu Bei failed to attack Wu, and was entrusted with Yong 'an, assisted by the young master, communicating with Soochow, repairing politics at home, rebelling in Nanping and resisting Wei in the north. In order to complete the great cause of reunifying the Central Plains and reviving the Han Dynasty, he attacked the State of Wei five times and played an extraordinary role in governing the country and the army. The people are not angry because of their civilian power. He also deduced the art of war, made an "eight-array map", made a profit and loss crossbow, and fought against the famous Sima Yi and Zhang He, winning many battles. In the last Northern Expedition, he adopted the strategy of dividing his troops and stationing wasteland, and fought with Sima Yi's army for 100 days. Unfortunately, he died of overwork at the age of 54, saying that he was loyal to Wuhou. His noble character of "devote one's life to death" has been admired and missed by people for thousands of years.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) Lin Zexu
Lin Zexu was a patriotic politician, thinker and poet in Qing Dynasty. Historians call him "the first person who opened his eyes to see the world" in modern China. During the Opium War, he advocated the prohibition of opium, resisted the aggression of western capitalism, persisted in safeguarding China's sovereignty and national interests, seized and burned a large amount of opium, crushed many armed provocations by the British invaders, and showed great patriotism. Even the British businessman, the number one opium dealer, had to admit in front of such a clean imperial envoy: "His hands have never been stained by bribes. This situation is unheard of among China politicians. "
In 40 years, Lin Zexu traveled all over 14 province with 400,000 troops. In the end, he was penniless and penniless, just as he said in the book "Analysis of Family Property Self-determination" in his later years: "The discount of agricultural land property is zero" and "There is no cash at present!" It's admirable, admirable! All this, as the motto of calligraphy hanging in the hall of his former residence shows:
"All rivers run into the sea, with great tolerance; The wall stands thousands of miles, and there is no desire. "
Fourth, Li Bai
It's time for a romantic figure in the literary world ~
Li Bai, the word Taibai, was a great poet in Tang Dynasty in China. His poetic style is bold and unconstrained, his imagination is rich, his language is natural and fluent, and his temperament is harmonious and changeable. He is good at absorbing nutritious folk materials from folk songs and myths, forming his unique magnificent colors, which is the new peak of active romantic poetry since Qu Yuan. He and Du Fu are also called "Du Li".
He has never achieved fame in his life, but he has high expectations. He despised the rich and powerful in clothes, unscrupulously mocked the hierarchical order centered on political power, criticized the phenomenon of political corruption, and carried forward the heroism in the prosperous Tang culture with a bold gesture of resistance.
The great influence of Li Bai's poems on later generations is first of all the personality strength and charm embodied in his poems. His "since God has given talents, let them find jobs!" " His extraordinary self-confidence, his independent personality of "Oh, how can I bow and scrape to the high-ranking official", his integrity and his natural and unrestrained spirit have attracted countless literati. Bold style, unpredictable imagination, clear water showing the beauty of hibiscus also had a great influence on later poets. In the history of China's poetry, Li Bai is a child prodigy with irreplaceable immortal status.
Third, Yue Fei.
There is an old saying among the Khitans that jurchen is invincible with less than 10 thousand. This proves the strength of Jurchen's fighting capacity. But this myth was broken by a China man named Yue Fei. Who said that Jurchen was invincible? Hundreds of Jin Jun was beaten to death in front of Yuegujun, and it was Jurchen's best field battle. The number of Yuegujun participating in the war was far less than that of Jurchen. It is hard for people today to imagine what it was like for Yue Fei to fight against Japan at that time, and it is even harder for people today to imagine how the brilliant victory of 20,000 Yue Jiajun over Jurchen was written. That's the clank of iron for China people to bravely resist foreign aggression, and that's the voice of China people's powerful country after enduring foreign oppression for nearly a hundred years! Jin Wushu, the general of Jin Dynasty, lamented that "I have never met such a strong team in my 20 years in the army." Jurchen even sang sadly in folk songs, "It is easy to shake the mountains, but difficult to shake the Yue family."
Second, Confucius
Confucius is the most influential person in China. He lived in a vassal state in the 6th and 5th centuries BC. He hoped that China, which was divided at that time, would attach importance to the emergence of a unified and powerful central government, and advocated that the upper class should maintain its rule with courtesy, benevolent governance and virtue. All people should follow the creed of loyalty to the son of heaven, filial piety to parents and friendship with morality. Women should be loyal to their husbands. But he fail to turn his ideals and theory into reality. Seven hundred years after his death, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty officially took his theory as the only official theory. Since then, emperors have followed suit. In the 7th century AD, Confucius was regarded as a demigod saint in Daxing Confucius Temple in the Tang Dynasty. This custom has lasted for about 1300 years. In the eyes of westerners, Confucius is a symbol of China tradition. His thoughts had a considerable influence on the European Enlightenment in the18th century. Confucius thought also has a great influence on Japan, Korea, Vietnam and Singapore.
