Later, all the scholars united, so that the Eastern Jin Dynasty regime was established from scratch, from small to large.

In the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty, after the rebellion of the Eight Kings and the disaster of Yongjia in the Central Plains, a large area of land in the north fell into the hands of the Hu people. The northern scholars have moved their families to the south, and those who cross the river and the south account for six or seven out of ten, which is known as "crossing the river in clothes" in history.

After crossing to the south, the northern scholars, although they settled down for a while, often cherished their homeland. Whenever they have leisure, they meet to feast and drink in the new pavilion by the Yangtze River outside the city. Mingshi Zhou 顗 [sound: yǐ; Interpretation: 1Quiet, 2Solemn and respectful] sighed: "The scenery is not different, and the eyes are different from the rivers. Everyone here felt that the Central Plains had fallen into the hands of the people, and for a while the family and country were hopeless, and they wept one after another. The famous man Wang Dao, who was the leader, immediately changed color, and said sharply: "When the royal family is killed together and the Shenzhou is overcome, why should you be a prisoner of Chu and cry evil!" When everyone heard Director Wang say this, they were very ashamed and immediately cheered up.

The difference between the rivers here refers to the difference between the Yangtze River and the Luo River. In those years, at the Luoshui side, the celebrities and scholars regularly gathered to hold cocktail parties, talked about it, and returned with great enthusiasm, forming an extremely elegant tradition. At this time, everyone thought about the grand occasion of the year, and couldn't help but feel sad and sighing, and Director Wang dispelled the negative emotions of the northern scholars in time. This is the very famous new pavilion in history, and the allusions such as "different scenery", "new pavilion meeting", "river" and so on are often seen in the poems and songs of the ruined country in later generations.

The famous minister Wang Dao was also called "Jiangzuo's own Guan Yiwu (Guan Zhong)".

This "Xinting Cocktail Party" can also be called the most inspiring drinking party!

9. Cixi's 60th birthday banquet.

Cixi's 60th birthday was the tenth day of the tenth month of the first year of the lunar calendar in 1894. Preparations for a grand celebration began a year ago. Cixi's behavior in her later years deliberately imitated Qianlong everywhere. In his later years, Qianlong built Ningshou Palace, in order to pass the throne to his son Jiaqing and live in retirement when he was the emperor. In 1889, when Cixi was 55 years old, she announced that she would withdraw the curtain and return to the government to Emperor Guangxu, who had already married and was in power, and moved into Ningshou Palace. When Qianlong celebrated his birthday, he wanted to go to the Old Summer Palace to celebrate, and put on a show along the way, and Cixi also planned to go to the Summer Palace for a visit. Cixi's specific plan was to receive the congratulations of the princes and ministers in the palace in the morning on her 60th birthday, and then drive out of the Xihua Gate of the Imperial Palace, walk on the North Long Street, turn to Xi'anmen Street, pass through the West Fourth Road intersection, go north along the West Fourth North Street, pass through the Xinjie entrance, go out of the Xizhi Gate, and go straight to the Summer Palace. Then listen to the big drama and have a big banquet in the Summer Palace. To this end, Cixi ordered the Minister of Military Aircraft, Prince Shiduo of the Rites to serve as the general office of the celebration, according to the style of Qianlong that year, in addition to the imperial palace and the Summer Palace to be properly organized, but also in the Xihua Gate to the Summer Palace dozens of miles of avenues, along the way to decorate the landscape, build the altar, the stage, the color hall, the archway, organize the monks to chant the scriptures, the troupe to act, the road welcome, for her to watch on the way, this is the birthday "point view" project. The two corner buildings at the intersection of the West Fourth Road were built in this "point view" project. The function of building this building is to cover up the unsightly houses behind, to add a festive atmosphere, and to set up a guard at the commanding heights upstairs.

Unexpectedly, just as preparations for the celebration were in full swing, in July 1894, the Japanese fleet provoked the Sino-Japanese War in the Yellow Sea. On August 1, China and Japan exchanged letters of declaration of war. As we all know, Cixi's Summer Palace was built by embezzling naval funds, so some people later wrote a poem satirizing that the iron ships of the Beiyang Naval Division were all wiped out, but the stone ships of the Summer Palace would never sink. The war disrupted Cixi's birthday celebrations. Cixi, who was not in the mood and did not have the face to make a big deal of it, had to issue an order on September 25 to cancel the celebration at the Summer Palace and the "point view" project along the way. According to history, on November 7, 1894 (that is, the tenth day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar), Cixi's 60th birthday was only spent in Ningshou Palace.

Eight, picking the tassel will be a historical allusion, but also one of the most famous banquets in ancient China, King Chu Zhuang is a very ambitious monarch, after the throne because of the internal Dou Yue Jiao dictatorship, can not use troops externally, and the Jin State for hegemony, so pretend to be confused, Dou Yue Jiao launched a rebellion, was shot to death by the archer Yang Yuji, King Zhuang pacified the rebellion of the Dou clan, the banquet of the ministers celebrated, the banquet King Zhuang ordered his favorite Xu Ji to pour wine for the ministers, one of them saw Xu Ji's beauty, secretly flirted, Xu Ji took off his crown tassel, and told King Zhuang to ask him to investigate, For the sake of the overall situation, King Zhuang decided not to pursue the matter, but asked everyone present to take off the crown. After the Jin and Chu armies, King Zhuang pursued the Jin generals first, and Tang cunning rescued the driver to repay virtue.

7. The Qiansu Banquet is the first time that Kangxi held a banquet of 1,000 people, and it is also the largest and most attended banquet held in the court of the Qing Dynasty, which began in the Kangxi period, flourished in the Qianlong Dynasty, and was no longer held after the Jiaqing Dynasty.

The fifty-second year of Kangxi was the sixtieth birthday of Emperor Kangxi, and more than 2,000 people, including the current and retired Manchurian, Mongolian and Han ministers and soldiers, were invited to a banquet in Changchun Garden.

In the first month of the 61st year of Kangxi, 1,020 people, including Manchurian, Mongolian and Han ministers over 65 years old and ordinary people, were summoned again to give a banquet in front of the Qianqing Palace. During the banquet, Emperor Kangxi and the ministers of the Manchu and Han Dynasty wrote poems Ji Sheng, named "Thousand Banquet Poems", and "Thousand Banquets" became famous. During the Qianlong period, there were two thousand banquets held in the Qianqing Palace, and the scale was even grander, and the banquet was attended by 3,000 people.

The holding of the Qiansuo banquet reflects the Qing Dynasty's advocacy of "old-age and virtuous", "eight filial piety" and preferential policies for the elderly, which is the role of the Qing ruler in politically winning the hearts of the people and maintaining the rule of the imperial court.

Sixth, the feast of blessings.

On the twentieth day of the first month of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen (1641), Luoyang, Henan, the residence of King Fu. Zhu Changxun, the king of Fu, was cooked and killed by Li Zicheng's rebel army, and the sika deer in several pots were eaten by thousands of soldiers and served as dinner.

Speaking of Fulu banquet, there are two people to mention, one is Zhu Changxun, the king of Fu, and the other is Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang. Fuwang Zhu Changxun is the third son of Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, and his mother is Wanli's favorite concubine Zheng Guifei, perhaps Aiwu and Wu, Wanli is very fond of this son, and often holds him in his arms to coax, which is a treatment that all other princes do not have. Later, Wanli wanted to set up Zhu Changxun as the crown prince, but was opposed by the ministers, for which he and the ministers argued for a full 15 years, during which hundreds of ministers were dismissed, but in the end, forced by the traditional concept and the shackles of etiquette, or the emperor's eldest son Zhu Changluo was canonized as the crown prince, for which Wanli felt guilty about Zhu Changxun, so he rewarded him as compensation.

In the 29th year of Wanli, Zhu Changxun was named the blessed king, and personally organized a wedding for Zhu Changxun, spending 300,000 taels**, the palace built in Luoyang Mansion was far more luxurious than ten times that of ordinary princes, Zhu Changxun also hoped that his father would reward him with 40,000 hectares of land, but there was really not so much land to reward at that time, and finally rewarded him with 20,000 hectares. In addition to a large amount of money and land, there are also all the family property obtained by Zhang Juzheng's family, and the salt tax and tea tax from Jiangdu to Sichuan are all returned to Zhu Changxun, the king of Fu, after Zhu Changxun arrived in Luoyang, he lived a life of lust and lust every day, and lived a life of poverty and luxury, completely ignoring the life and death of the people, and the only thing that could arouse his interest was only two things, that is, women and eating and drinking.

When Emperor Chongzhen arrived, this King Fu was still alive, because he was a senior and was the uncle of Emperor Chongzhen, so Emperor Chongzhen respected him very much, and he was satisfied with everything in everything, Zhu Changxun's fief and various industries were controlled by him, and the people were also deprived in every way, so there was a saying that Luoyang was rich in the imperial capital at that time.

At that time, Henan suffered from drought and locust disasters year after year, and the people were poor and the people were not able to make a living, and even the tragic situation of eating and eating was unbearable, but Zhu Changxun, the king of fortune, only ate and drank himself, and became a big fat man of more than 300 catties, and never paid for the earthquake but continued to expropriate and expropriate. Soon the rebel army swept the country at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the rebel army of King Li Zicheng killed the rich and helped the poor in the early days, opened warehouses and released grain, and was supported by the people at the bottom.

On the nineteenth day of the first month of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng led the army to capture Luoyang, and what happened to Zhu Changxun, the king of fortune, after breaking the city? There are books in the Qing Dynasty that say that the king of Fu and the son fled, the king was fat, could not go far, the thief was killed and called his meat heavy, more than 360 catties, the belly was cut into shares, the meat of the king of Fu and the venison were cooked together, and the soldiers were divided, which was the information of the Fu Lu banquet that was widely spread in later generations**.

There are also wild histories among the people that record the story of the rebel army cooking King Fu and sharing the food, saying that Li Zicheng hated Zhu Changxun very much, first beat him 40 big boards, and then stuffed his fat body of more than 300 catties into a large vat, mixed with venison, stewed into a pot of meat porridge, and distributed it to the soldiers to eat, which was called the Fulu banquet. This statement is widely circulated among the people, but if you think about it carefully, there will be doubts, Li Zicheng's army did have the deeds of eating people due to lack of food, but they attacked Luoyang because of the abundance of the treasury, since the army has entered the city, there is no need to eat people to satisfy hunger, and most of the statements in the historical materials come from the Qing Dynasty, it is very likely that the Qing Dynasty rulers did artistic processing to discredit the rebel army. Unearthed in April 1986, Zhu Changxun's Chronicle also broke the traditional saying that King Fu was made into a Fulu banquet, which not only recorded Zhu Changxun's resistance to recruiting troops heavily when Li Zicheng's soldiers came to the city, but also introduced the location of Zhu Changxun's grave.

And there are also records in the history of the Ming Dynasty, indicating that the Fuwang Zhu Changxun was killed after being caught by Li Zicheng's army, and was not cooked alive, according to the comparison of the "History of the Ming Dynasty" and the "Yuanzhi", it shows that after the Fuwang Zhu Changxun was killed by the righteous army, the body still existed and was not eaten, and the so-called Fulu banquet rumors were self-defeating.

5. The Literary Banquet is one of the important forms of literary creation and mutual exchange among ancient Chinese literati.

Cultural banquets are generally chosen in places with pleasant climate. During the banquet, the food and wine, the poems were sung and sang, and the warblers sang and danced. Many famous literary and artistic works in history were created at the banquet. "The Remains of Kaiyuan Tianbao" contains: During the reign of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Su Yu and Li Yi faced Wenhao, and stayed in a dream on the night of August 15, and some scholars took the opportunity to get together to "prepare a banquet of wine". At that time, the sky was cloudless, the moonlight was picturesque, Su Yu said: "The light is lovely, why use lamps and candles?" "Command the lamps and candles to be removed. On March 3 of the second year of Tang Kaicheng, Yin Li of Henan Mansion held a repair banquet in Luobin to treat people and people to the year. Fifteen people, including Bai Juyi, Xiao Ji, Li Yishu, Liu Yuxi, Zheng Juzhong, Pei Yun, Li Daoshu, Cui Jin, Zhang Kexu, Lu Yan, Miao Yi, Pei Yan, Pei Qia, Yang Lushi, and Pei Du, attended the banquet. The banquet was set up on the boat, and everyone enjoyed the beautiful scenery on both sides of the Luoshui River, while feasting and drinking, chanting poetry and enjoying music. At the banquet, the hairpin group was intertwined, singing and laughing. The front water frolic and then the prostitute, the left pen inkstone and the right pot, look at it like a fairy, the viewer is like a block, enjoy the scenery, and travel to the pan entertainment. Beautiful scenery, enjoyable things, all in today" (self-confessed Juyi's "March 3rd Purification Luobin" poem preface).

This was an elegant and elegant literary meeting, and the participants were all literati and celebrities at that time, and poetry was indispensable during the banquet. Liu Yuxi wrote a poem and said: "Luoxia is repairing today, and the sages are victorious." The feast accompanies the jade strings, and the whole nationality is full of gold boudoirs. Bai Juyi also wrote a poem and said: "The prostitute receives the banquet, and the poem accompanies Xun Ling's question." The boat is with Li Yingfan, and Li is carried by Mu Sheng. It describes the pomp and circumstance of drinking and chanting poetry at the feast. The famous "Lanting Collection Preface" was also written by Wang Xizhi, a calligrapher of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, at the Lanting Literary Conference. The Northern Song Dynasty writer Ouyang Xiu's "The Story of the Drunken Man's Pavilion" describes the joyful scene of his appointment to Chuzhou to be too punctual and invite friends to have a banquet in the Langya Mountain Pavilion.

Fourth, the deer feast.

The deer banquet is one of the most famous banquets in ancient times, has been in the imperial examination and education and cultural system of the Tang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty for more than a thousand years, the most popular in the history of our country, the longest duration is a ceremonial drinking banquet activities, if it is to get the relief of the son of the Yang Xing, inspirational, it is said that in the Spring and Autumn Period, Sun Muzi was hired to the Jin State as the prime minister, the Jin mourning public banquet to entertain the guests, the banquet is to sing the three chapters of "Lu Ming", but this banquet is only popular in rich areas, but the poor place is not in vogue. "Deer Song" was originally from a musical song in "The Book of Songs, Xiaoya", with a total of three chapters, and the first sentence of the three chapters is "Yo Yo Lu Ming, the apple of the wild food"; "Yo Yo Deer Song, Song of the Wild Food"; "Yo Yo Lu Ming, eat the wild Qin. ”

A type of banquet prescribed in the imperial examination system. Started in the Tang Dynasty, along the Ming and Qing dynasties, the next day of the trial list in the township, the banquet invited the new imperial examination and the internal and external curtain officials, etc., the song "Book of Songs" in the "Deer Song" chapter, the division is called "Deer Ming Banquet". The New Tang Dynasty Book. Election Chronicles: "In the midwinter of each year, the state, county, museum, and supervisor of its completion shall send it to the province of Shangshu; And the selection of museums and scholars, the so-called 'township tribute' are listed in the state and county. Try, the chief official to the township drinking ceremony, will be subordinate to the bureaucracy, set up the guest host, Chen Yandou, prepare the orchestra, the livestock with a little prison, the song "Deer Song" of the poem, because of the elder and the elder and younger. "Qing Wu Rongguang "My Learning. Tribute": "Tongli": Shuntian Township Examination Announced Wing Day, Yan Main Examination, Tong Examination, Deacons and Township Tributes in Shuntian Mansion, said Lu Mingyan, Chairman Yin. "Yan, the same as "feast".

In the Song Dynasty, the palace tried the civil and military champions to set up a banquet, and in the same year, they worshipped, also known as the "Luming Banquet". Song Wu Zimu's "Menglianglu Scholars Go to the Palace to Test the Roll Call": "Shuai Cao and the palace step division row of the saddle horse and the cane, welcome the three civil and military leaders, each ride a horse with a shy hat to the hospital, and entertain in peace. In the same year, the two champions were appointed as the officials of the Bureau, and the title was registered. Shuai Si sent the personnel of the Sixth Bureau, appeased the Siguan to borrow silverware and other things, sent prostitutes, and opened Lu Mingyan in Fengyu Building, and in the same year, people went to worship downstairs. ”

Luming Banquet This is the "village drinking" banquet in ancient times when the magistrate congratulated the tribute students or people in the examination, which began in the Tang Dynasty. The Ming and Qing dynasties followed this. During the banquet, the song of "Deer Song" must be played first, and then the song of "Deer Song" must be read aloud to liven up the atmosphere and show the talent of a certain public. "Deer Song" originally came from a musical song in "The Book of Songs: Xiaoya", with a total of three chapters, and the first sentence of the three chapters is "Yo Yo Deer Woo, Apple of the Wild Food". "Yo Yo Deer Song, Song of the Wild Food"; "Yo Yo Lu Ming, eat the wild Qin. It means that the deer has discovered the delicacy and does not forget his partner, and makes a "yo yo" cry to beckon the same kind to eat together. The ancients believed that this was a virtue, so they went up and down, the Son of Heaven feasted the ministers, and the local officials invited colleagues and local noblemen to banquet their colleagues, local nobles and local gentry, and used this move to buy people's hearts and show their courtesy and virtuous corporal. The ancients also believed that music and songs "are used for guest banquets, and the monarch and ministers are harmonious", and there is food without forgetting its accomplices, indicating that this is the style of a gentleman. It is said that in the Spring and Autumn Period, Sun Muzi was hired to the Jin State as the prime minister, and the Jin mourning public banquet entertained the guests, and the three chapters of "Deer Song" were sung during the banquet. However, this feast is only considered fashionable in developed areas, but poor places are not in vogue from time to time, and they disappear completely.

3. The meeting of Michi took place in 279 B.C., and it was a meeting between King Zhaoxiang of Qin and King Huiwen of Zhao in Michi.

In 279 B.C., in order to concentrate his forces on attacking Chu, King Zhaoxiang of Qin took the initiative to make friends with Zhao and sent an envoy to tell King Zhao that he would meet with King Zhao in Mianchi (present-day Mianchi County, Henan Province). Because King Zhao was afraid but didn't dare not go, Lin Xiangru recommended himself to accompany King Zhao to Michi. In the case that the king of Zhao was forced to agitate, in order to make the state of Zhao achieve an equal status, he fought with reason, so that the king of Qin had to fight the reins. Later, Qin asked Zhao for fifteen cities, but he refused to give an inch, saying that in exchange for the capital of Qin, the king of Qin would gain nothing.

After the meeting of Michi, as if the meritorious official was the secretary, Qin and Zhao temporarily stopped the war, and the Zhao army sent troops to Qi and captured Gaotang and other places.

Second, the release of military power by a glass of wine refers to the early Song Dynasty, in order to strengthen the centralization of power and avoid other generals from "adding yellow robes" and usurping their own power, Zhao Kuangyin asked high-ranking officers to surrender their military power through a banquet in the form of threats and inducements. Compared with the behavior of Han Gaozu to kill heroes, Zhao Kuangyin is regarded as a model of leniency. The release of military power was only the beginning of a series of political and military reform measures taken by Song Taizu to strengthen the imperial power and consolidate his rule, and later carried out a number of reforms in the military system. As an idiom, "a glass of wine releases military power" has gradually been extended to refer to the easy removal of a general's military power.

When did the release of military power take place? Who came up with this method?

The release of military power with a glass of wine is the most eye-catching thing that Song Taizu did after he ascended the throne. I first learned about this story in a history textbook in junior high school. Textbooks always tell an event objectively and calmly from the perspective of a bystander, and never add one's own feelings to the commentary. However, this does not mean that textbooks can reproduce historical events to the greatest extent. The record of releasing military power with a glass of wine cannot erase Zhao Kuangyin's mistakes no matter what. The story takes place in the second year of Jianlong, Zhao Kuangyin invited Shi Shouxin and Gao Huaide and other senior generals of the forbidden army to a banquet, and said something coercive and seductive at the banquet, bluffing Shi Shouxin and others The next day they all called themselves old and frail, and asked to be relieved of military power and return to their hometowns. This matter of not moving a single soldier at a banquet and easily and peacefully relieving the generals of their military power is called the release of military power with a glass of wine.

It is true that Zhao Kuangyin made this decision in order to strengthen the centralization of power and consolidate the rule of imperial power. At the same time, he also wanted to prevent the yellow robe from happening to his generals. From the point of view of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, he did this as a kind of self-preservation, a strategy, and the incident of releasing military power with a glass of wine is understandable. It has nothing to do with a sense of justice, or that it is a true psychological portrayal of every emperor, and even, in this way, Zhao Kuangyin is much more benevolent than some emperors. However, in my opinion, "releasing military power with a glass of wine" is nothing more than a disguised existence of "the cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook". As soon as the throne was secured, he wanted to send away the soldiers who fought for himself, which was too chilling for the soldiers. Zhao Kuangyin wore a coat of "hypocrisy", a little grain field, a little silver salary to send the heroes away, in turn, the soldiers still have to be grateful to him, which is really emotional.

Why is it so easy to release military power with a glass of wine, this is because Zhao Kuangyin has the ability to withstand the heavens and the earth, and he can suppress these generals. Although these generals fought in the south and the north, they were all under the command of Zhao Kuangyin, so they were all in awe of their superiors. Because of this mentality, it becomes easy to release military power with a glass of wine. The release of military power was carried out at the time of the establishment of the Song Dynasty, when the country no longer needed to fight, so these generals had no place to fight, and they could not bargain with the emperor. Although the Liao State to the north was a strong enemy of the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty was not prepared to go to war with the Liao State at that time.

The reason why it is so easy to release military power with a glass of wine is also related to the national situation at that time, when the Song Dynasty had achieved great unification, and the people of the whole country were looking forward to peace. If any of the generals rebelled, they would inevitably be unanimously attacked by the people of the whole country. During the period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, there were many military generals across the country who divided one side, and a military general's rebellion would not attract people's attention. It seems easy to release the military power with a glass of wine, but Song Taizu is also taking risks. Because if these generals did not resign on their own initiative, then the subordinates of these generals must have the feeling of being dead and sad, then they may rebel. And these generals resigned automatically, and their subordinates had nothing to say. Zhao Kuangyin's generous reward also made it easier to release military power with a glass of wine. In the process of unifying the whole country, Zhao Kuangyin collected a lot of gold and silver treasures, which have not yet played a big role in the whole country, because what a country needs is food. But these gold and silver treasures are very important to individuals, and Zhao Kuangyin rewarded these generals with gold and silver treasures, and these generals went home quietly.

1. Hongmen Banquet refers to a banquet held in 206 BC at Hongmen (present-day Hongmenbao Village, Xinfeng Town, Lintong District, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province), on the outskirts of Xianyang, the capital of the Qin Dynasty, and was attended by Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, the leaders of the two anti-Qin armies at that time. This banquet had an important impact on both the Peasant War at the end of the Qin Dynasty and the Chu-Han War, and is believed to have indirectly contributed to the defeat of Xiang Yu and the successful establishment of the Han Dynasty by Liu Bang. Later generations also often used the term "Hongmen Banquet" as a metaphor for ill-intentioned banquets.

The detailed description was first found in the "Historical Records: Xiang Yu Benji" by Sima Qian, the "Sage of History". 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 petition for guilt in the camp, and is divided into three parts before and after he went to the camp.

Extended information: Starting with Cao Wuxian's informant and Xiang Yu's decision to attack, and ending with Xiang Yu being injured and Cao Wuxing being executed, the story unfolds layer by layer according to the two issues of whether Xiang Yu launched an attack and whether Liu Bang could escape safely. 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.

Xiang Yu, as the fierce rival of Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, once competed with Liu Bang for the world, and the attitude of the monarchs of the Han Dynasty towards Xiang Yu was more derogatory than positive. Sima Qian, on the other hand, is different. Yangxiong's "Fa Yan" cloud: "Taishi Qian, said the real record." "Zi Chang loves a lot, and he loves Qi too. It is precisely because of Sima Qian's "record" spirit and "Aiqi" thought that he does not judge heroes by success or failure, that he portrays the image of Xiang Yu with a distinctive personality. 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.

Later, a large number of related literary works were derived. Fan Zeng's prophecy was fulfilled a few years later: Xiang Yu and Liu Bang fought a large-scale war in the following four years, and in the end, Xiang Yu was defeated and killed himself in Wujiang, and Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty for Han Gaozu.
