Hongmen Yan supported Xiang Yu and expressed his opinion

Indecision: Changed the decision to attack Liu Bang, did not express his position on Fan Zeng's attempt to kill Liu Bang during the banquet, Pei Gong fled the table and suffered safely;

straightforward and rude: hearing Liu Bang's "thank you" and saying the name of the informant, hearing Fan Xu's "words" and "not responding";

Not making good use of people: not listening to Fan Zeng at critical moments;

Arrogance: The number of seats at the banquet.

Self-esteem: As soon as I heard that Liu Bang "wanted to be the king of Guanzhong", he violated his dignity, so he decided to attack; After learning that Liu Bang was "a member of the people, and the treasury was sealed" for him to deal with, he gave up his plan to attack. He did not regard Liu Bang as his main opponent, thinking that it was useless to kill him, and Liu Bang paid attention to maintaining his dignity, which made him "unbearable".

Hongmen Banquet is a historical biography written by Sima Qian, a historian and writer of the Han Dynasty, from the "Historical Records: Xiang Yu Benji". The article recounts a banquet held by Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, the leaders of two anti-Qin armies, after the fall of the Qin Dynasty (206 BC), at Hongmen, on the outskirts of Xianyang, the capital of the Qin Dynasty.

The full text is centered on Liu Bang's crime of going to Xiang Ying, and is divided into three parts before and after he went to the camp, starting with Cao Wuxian's informant and Xiang Yu's decision to attack, and ending with Xiang Yu's suffering and Cao Wuxian's execution. The plot is full of ups and downs, the images are vivid and distinct, the organization is thorough and rigorous, and the language is concise and beautiful.

The Hongmen Banquet is a relatively independent piece in the "Historical Records of Xiang Yu", which is the beginning of the five-year struggle between Xiang Yu and Liu Bang after the destruction of Qin. Although it was the beginning, it heralded the end of this struggle to some extent. This is said because the author vividly reveals Xiang Yu's tragic character through the description of the whole process of this banquet (including the struggle before the meeting and the aftermath after the meeting).

He has the "kindness of a woman" for his self-cultivation.

If this character does not change, he will inevitably end in failure. And Liu Bang's ability to save the day at the banquet is inseparable from being good at taking advantage of the other party's character weaknesses. From this historical fact, we can see the role played by the character of the leader at an important juncture in the development of history.

Analysis of Xiang Yu's personality characteristics in the struggle of Hongmen Banquet: Xiang Yu is "self-conscious" and "unbearable"."Credulous Xiang Bo, promising to meet Liu Bang well, I can't bear it;

Listen to Liu Bang, you shouldn't increase it, and you can't bear it;

tolerant Fan Xu, having a heart of sympathy, three unbearable;

Don't investigate the escape, suffer safely, and can't bear it.

The above unbearable is due to Xiang Yu's self-cultivation, all of which not only made him lose the opportunity to kill Liu Bang, but also led to the final "Wujiang self-killing".

The original text and translation of the Hongmen Banquet are translated as follows:

1, Pei Gongjun dominated, but he didn't have to meet Xiang Yu. Translation: Liu Bang garrisoned the overlord, and he has not yet been able to meet Xiang Yu.

2, Pei Gong Zuo Sima Cao was not injured and made people slip in Xiang Yu and said: "Pei Gong wants the king to be in the middle of the pass, so that the child and the baby are the phase, and there are all the treasures." Translation:

Liu Bang's Zuo Sima Cao Wuxian sent someone to Xiang Yu and said: "Liu Bang wants to be the king in Guanzhong and let Ziying be the prime minister, and all the treasures are occupied by Liu Bang." ”

3, Xiang Yu was furious and said: "Dan Ri (xiǎng) soldiers, in order to defeat the Pei Gong Army!" Xiang Yu was furious and said, "Tomorrow morning, reward the soldiers, and give me to defeat Liu Bang's army!" ”

4. At that time, Xiang Yu had 400,000 soldiers in Xinfeng Hongmen. Translation: At this time, Xiang Yu's army of 400,000 was stationed in Xinfenghongmen.

5, Pei Gong soldiers 100,000, in the hegemony. Translation: Liu Bang's army Translation: 00,000, stationed in Bashang.

6, Fan Zeng said that Xiang Yu said: "When Pei Gong lived in Shandong, he was greedy for money and goods, and he was so beautiful. Now entering the customs, there is nothing to take from the property, and the women have nothing to do, and their ambition is not small. I am hopeful, all of them are dragons and tigers, and they are all five colors, and this genius is also angry. Don't miss it! ”

Translation: Fan Zeng advised Xiang Yu: "When Pei Gong was in the east of Kunshan Mountain, he was greedy for money and goods and loved beautiful women.

Now that he has entered the customs, he does not plunder property and does not fall in love with women, which shows that his ambition is not small. I asked people to look at the clouds there there, they are all in the shape of dragons and tigers, showing colorful colors, this is the clouds of the Son of Heaven! Hurry up and don't miss your chance. ”

This is not a matter of one or two sentences, simply from the aspect of personality, Liu Bang has the strength and can trust people, Xiang Yukong has a lot of strength, no bearing, and is stubborn and self-serving!

Xiang Yu, rigid and self-serving, the benevolence of a woman.

Xiang Yu is short-sighted and the benevolence of women.

Liu Bang can bend and stretch.

The arrogance of necessity ... thought that Liu Bang was showing weakness to him, so he started to pretend to be x look! In the end, I made myself Wujiang kill himself, woohoo lament!

Xiang Yu is a hero who stands up to the sky and the earth, and he disdains to do what heroes do.

Because of his character, he can kill people in anger, and he has repeatedly endured it because of brotherhood.

Fan Xu, for Liu Bang, entered alone, and said bluntly.

There is no systematic understanding and planning of the world.

Xiang Yu is too easy to deceive, saying that he is too sincere.

One: Xiang Yu's biggest disadvantage is not that he is stubborn and self-serving.

Although the upstairs didn't say so.

But it has been mentioned many times It is inevitable that people will be misunderstood Xiang Yu's biggest shortcoming is actually Han Xin said it very clearly He said when he met Liu Bang:"King Xiang treated people with respect and kindness, his language was gentle, and when people were sick, he wept with sympathy, and gave them his own food and drink. But when his subordinates should be knighted if they have merit, he smoothed the edges and corners of the official seal and was reluctant to give it to others, which is the kindness of a woman.

Hey, this may be the root cause of Xiang Yu's final failure.

Second: Xiang Bo was not bought by Liu Bang Xiang Bo had committed a crime in his early years and was saved by Zhang Liang So Zhang Liang was kind to him When he learned that Xiang Yu was going to attack Liu Bang, he was afraid that Zhang Liang would be implicated and his life would not be saved (I think that Xiang Bo just wanted to save Zhang Liang's life at that time, and he didn't expect to save Liu Bang in the end.) Xiang Bo was grateful to him, but he didn't distinguish friend or foe at that time, so he went to inform Zhang Liang overnight, which led to a change in the outcome of Liu Bang in the future.

Because Xiang Yu is only one of the Hans, he eats soft and not hard.
