The Hongmen banquet determined the reason for Liu Bang's victory and defeat:

The Hongmen banquet is a banquet set up by Fan Zeng in order to kill Liu Bang, if Xiang Yu kills Liu Bang at this time, then Liu Bang will be broken without attack, that is, it will be a complete failure.

The reason why Liu Bang is stronger than Xiang Yu after the Hongmen banquet:

After experiencing the Hongmen banquet, Liu Bang realized that Xiang Yu was ready to take action against him, so he began to rectify military affairs, vigorously recruited troops and horses, and began to stand with Xiang Yu, forming a situation of contention between Chu and Han.

"Hongmen Banquet" is divided into two factions, the leaders are Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, and the two are opponents. Liu Bang sent Liu Bang (Pei Gong), Fan Hao (Liu Bang's subordinate), Cao Wuxian (Liu Bang's Zuo Sima, betrayed Liu Bang and reported to Xiang Yu), Zhang Liang (Liu Bang's advisor, once favored Xiang Bo). There are Xiang Yu in Xiang Yu's faction, Fan Zeng (Xiang Yu's military division), Xiang Zhuang (Xiang Yu's cousin), and Xiang Bo (Xiang Yu's uncle, who is related to Liu Bang).

In the winter of 206 BC, Liu Bang's 100,000 troops were stationed in Bashang, and Xiang Yu's 400,000 troops were stationed in Hongmen, Xinfeng, only 20 kilometers apart. According to the agreement between the two in advance, they were the first to enter Xianyang to claim the king, and Liu Bang had already entered Xianyang at this time. Unlike Xiang Yu's marching route, Liu Bang's march to Xianyang was rather strange, and he avoided the main force of the Qin army as much as possible along the way.

When Liu Bang entered Xianyang, Xiang Yu was fighting the main force of the Qin army, and when he entered the customs, he learned that Liu Bang had taken the lead. Xiang Yu lost the opportunity to claim the throne, so he was furious and sent Yingbu to capture Hangu Pass. At the same time, after Xiang Yu entered Xianyang, he reached Hexi, with a total army of 400,000 people, while Liu Bang marched 100,000 troops in Bashang.

At the same time, Liu Bang's Zuo Sima Cao Wuxian sent someone in front of Xiang Yu to say that Liu Bang planned to be the king in Guanzhong, and Xiang Yu wanted to kill Liu Bang as soon as possible. Liu Bang saw that the situation was not good, and immediately went to Xiang Yu's Hongmen camp to make amends, so Xiang Yu set up a banquet to entertain him.

Hongmen Banquet is from "Historical Records: Xiang Yu Benji" is a historical biography written by the Han Dynasty writer and historian Sima Qian.

Sima Qian succeeded his father as Taishi Ling in the third year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (108 BC), and began to write the Taishi Gongshu (later known as the Historical Records) in the first year of Taichu (104 BC). Later, he was imprisoned and sentenced to rot for defending Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for Li Ling's defeat and surrender to the Xiongnu, and suffered great physical and mental trauma.

After being released from prison, he was appointed as the secretary of the order, and endured humiliation and worked hard to continue to complete the historical books he wrote. Around the second year of Zhenghe (91 B.C.), the writing and revision of the entire book was finally completed. There are a total of 130 articles in the book, of which the seventh article is "Xiang Yu Benji".

It is precisely because of Sima Qian's "real record" spirit and "Aiqi" thought, and not judging heroes by success or failure, that the image of Xiang Yu with a distinctive personality is portrayed. And the Hongmen Banquet was an important node in Xiang Yu's life or failure, so Sima Qian reproduced this incident in a strong and colorful way.

Holistic appreciation

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 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 "benevolence of a woman" due to his self-dedication.

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. This historical fact can reflect the role played by the character of the leader at an important juncture in the development of history.
