From the appreciation of the characters of the Hongmen Banquet, the author writes an essay

"Hongmen BanquetThe character analysis combined with the original text is as follows:

1, Xiang Yu: The heroic spirit of pulling out the mountains and covering the world, arrogant and conceited, heard the secret report of Pei Gong wanting Wang Guanzhong, and was furious and said that he was feasting on the soldiers every day, in order to break the Pei Gong army. Xiang Yu sold his reputation, not only was he not angry, but he praised and sat down.

Liu Bang fled, and Xiang Yu was punished, showing Xiang Yu's lack of foresight.

2, Liu Bang: The catfish is dedicated to the distance, and the princes are not inside, and the Qin land can be the king, and it is in Liu Bang's arms. Liu Bang did not tell the strategist Zhang Liang about such a major event, which shows that he is quite scheming.

At the critical moment, he wagged his tail and begged for mercy, and asked Zhang Liang for help. In short, Liu Bang is still good at listening to people. When making amends, Xiang Yu exposed Cao Wu's injury, and Liu Bang remained silent, turned a deaf ear, and secretly remembered it.

After returning to the army, Cao was not injured. It can be seen that Liu Bang is quite scheming and decisive.

3. Fan Zeng: According to the changes before and after Liu Bang's entry into the customs, he saw the essence through the phenomenon and put forward a strategy. At the Hongmen banquet, count the lead spine and kill Liu Bang, and King Xiang should not.

Appreciation of "Hongmen Banquet".

The Hongmen Banquet is a relatively independent piece in the "Historical Records: Xiang Yu Benji", which marks the turning point of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, the two leaders of the rebel army at the end of the Qin Dynasty, from jointly breaking the Qin to fighting each other for the world. According to the development process of the plot, that is, Liu Bang went to the camp to petition for the crime as the core, together with before going to the camp and after he escaped from the camp, it can be divided into three parts. The first part goes from the beginning to King Xiang's promise, explaining the origin of the Hongmen banquet.

The second part goes from Pei Gong's day from more than 100 horses to see King Xiang to the fight at the Hongmen banquet because of Zhao Fan. The pace develops quickly, and so does the atmosphere. The third part of potato infiltration starts from Pei Gong to the end, describing the rest of the Hongmen banquet.

The storyline begins with Cao Wuxian informing and Xiang Yu deciding to attack, and ends with Xiang Yu being injured and Cao Wushu being executed, which has relative integrity.

The "Hongmen Banquet" is a well-known story, and it is also widely used as a daily language. In this story, it not only describes a story that happened between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, but also a watershed in the dispute between Chu and Han, showing the characteristics of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu. The failure of Xiang Yu at the "Hongmen Banquet" has been regretted by countless people, but there are more historical inevitabilities in it.

The personality traits of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang.

Xiang Yu's military strength is much stronger than Liu Bang, but he did not kill Liu Bang in the best period, and there are endless troubles, which is closely related to their character characteristics.

Xiang Yu is worthy of being a military wizard in Chinese history, he led the soldiers into the wave of "anti-Qin", "broke the cauldron and sunk the boat", won nine battles and nine victories, and achieved a miracle of radical balance. But it is precisely because of these that he is arrogant, hasty and reckless. When he met with Liu Bang, he didn't have a clear mind, and he was deceived by rhetoric, and he actually confessed that he was a spy within Liu Bang; At the banquet, he did not listen to Fan Zeng's advice and decisively issued an order to kill Liu Bang, so that he escaped and became a trouble.

And Liu Bang is just the opposite of Xiang Yu, he can not only be humble and adaptable, but more importantly, he is good at employing people. It is as if he has a magical power that can make his friends live and die with him and be loyal to others. He is a good example of Xiang Bo, he can buy Xiang Yu's uncle, his "magic" is really not small, which is also the fundamental reason why Xiang Zhuang's plan to assassinate Liu Bang cannot be successful.

Xiang Bo is Xiang Yu's uncle and should be on Xiang Yu's side, but now he and Liu Bang are "about marriage", which has Liu Bang's intention to win over Xiang Bo, but why did Xiang Bo agree without thinking about it? This has to be doubtful.

But in connection with history, this matter is not difficult to explain. Xiang Bo is one of the only remaining elders of the Xiang family, and he is the most advantageous opponent to compete with Xiang Yu. After Xiang Yu's victory, there was a problem with the distribution of power, which made Xiang Bo feel unfair, and Liu Bang was not a powerful foreign aid, so it was not surprising to take refuge in Liu Bang.

In short, the failure of the "Hongmen Banquet" is not a problem of one aspect, but a serial one, which deserves our careful study. But Xiang Yu's tragedy is a warning to us.

It's really "life is a hero, death is also a ghost." So far, I think of Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong. ”

Xiang Yu was a military commander who excelled at the top. He can fight well, and on the battlefield, he is heroic and powerful. In the battle of Julu, Xiang Yu broke the cauldron and sank the boat, attacked the people with outnumbered, and completely annihilated the main force of the Qin army, which objectively created conditions for Han Gaozu to enter Xianyang and overthrow the Qin Dynasty.

In the Chu-Han War, he broke Tianrong, saved Peng Cheng, saved Xingyang, and captured Chenggao, fought dozens of times in his life, and won many victories. Therefore, the ancients said that he had the talent to win a hundred battles

However, Xiang Yu is also a tragic figure. After the fall of the Qin Dynasty, he proclaimed himself the overlord and was busy dividing the vassals and supporting the remnants of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms, which went against the people's desire for unification and created a chaotic and divided situation. He acted brutally and killed more than 200,000 Qin soldiers.

After entering the customs, the Qin Palace was burned, and the fire continued for three months. His atrocities of burning, killing, and plundering, against the will of the people, were the root cause of his defeat. Xiang Yu relied on his martial arts to deter the princes, lacked foresight, and did not strive for alliances.

He was also jealous of the virtuous and jealous, and could not use people, causing the people to rebel and leave their relatives, and the morale of the army was weakened. Militarily, he lacked the vision of a strategist, was stubborn and self-serving, and did not accept good advice. As a result, there were repeated losses of fighter planes, no consolidated rear bases, and no sufficient food and military supplies.

Therefore, although Xiang Yu has outstanding military command skills, it is difficult to avoid defeat in the end.

Xiang Yu is a legendary hero in the history of our country.

If Xiang Yu in the Hongmen banquet is judged by success or failure, then he is proud.
