A short essay on Chu and Han history
I was deeply inspired by the death of Xiang Yu. Why did Xiang Yu, who was brave at the beginning of the Gan Jie Uprising, finally lose at the feet of Liu Bang? In those days, Xiang Yu led 8000 soldiers to cross the river to support Chen She. Wherever he went, he was invincible, invincible and sublime. So many heroes came to him and thousands of people followed him. But why did Xiang Yu, once so powerful, end in failure? Through the analysis of the text, we can easily find that Xiang Yu's failure is the inevitable result of his choice.

Xiang Yu, a descendant of an aristocratic family, is a brave and good-fighting hero. He led an army to attack the State of Qin, showing his true nature as a man. Liu Bang was a mediocre man, impetuous and without courage, but he defeated Xiang Yu in the Chu-Han War. The result is so unexpected that people have to look back and think deeply. In fact, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu have their own advantages and disadvantages, just like a pair of jade. Xiang Yu is heroic, but he can't calmly face setbacks and kill innocent people. Liu bang has extraordinary bearing, but he won't lead troops to fight. One is a brother, and the other is treacherous. It is like this that two completely different people have come together under the arrangement of heaven and competed for the world. On the stage of history, different choices determine different fates. Whoever can make the right choice at a certain time can avoid failure and succeed. When Liu Bang and Xiang Yu won the victory of overthrowing the dynasty, Liu Bang listened to the minister's advice, did not kill Zi Ying, took three chapters, did not reward, and did not commit crimes in the autumn, withdrew from Qin king Palace and returned to the army. But Xiang Yu did the opposite, did not listen to good words, killed Zi Ying, burned the palace and slaughtered Xianyang, and Cao Wushang was punished, which made people sigh for him. Who dares to help Chu of Xiang Yu? If Xiang Yu's indiscriminate killing of innocent people made him lose the hearts of the people, then letting Liu Bang go at the Hongmen banquet was another major mistake he made, regardless of whether he was an enemy or a friend. I still remember that when Xiang Yu was besieged, he finally committed suicide to help Lv Matong catch up with his old friend Lv Matong. In my opinion, Xiang Yu's words really showed his extraordinary heroism and made future generations admire him, but we also saw Xiang Yu's helplessness and lack of confidence. Of course, people should be loyal, but loyalty can't replace principles! As kings and leaders, we should focus on the overall situation and national interests, and we must not lose our due position and firm and decisive discrimination. In contrast, although Liu Bang is not much better, I want to say that Liu Bang is just considerate and intelligent. Although he has no outstanding martial arts, he can make full use of others' abilities and finally make the right choice at the critical moment.

Xiang Yu and Liu Bang are like a pair of jade flaws, each with its own flaws. Only the combination of the two can be perfect. Xiang Yu is a hero. He is a hero in each of us, and Liu Bang is also a hero. He is a hero in history. The loser of that year won the awe of people, but the winner of that year disappeared with the wind in the passage of time!
