New Year's Memory
Embattled, this idiom originates from the Han Dynasty's "Historical Records: Xiang Yu Benji". The meaning of this idiom is that the mountain song of Chu is resounding in all directions, which is a metaphor for being attacked on all sides and isolated.
The story takes place in 202 BC and is a turning point in Chinese history. At that time, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang originally agreed to take the chasm as the boundary and not invade each other. However, Liu Bang, at the suggestion of Zhang Liang and Chen Ping, decided to eliminate Xiang Yu while he was weak. So, he joined forces with Han Xin, Peng Yue, Liu Jia and others to pursue Xiang Yu's troops
After several fierce battles, Han Xin used an ambush strategy from all sides to trap Xiang Yu under the wall. Xiang Yu's troops were exhausted and in short supply of food. One night, Xiang Yu was surprised to hear the songs of Chu being sung in all directions, and he mistakenly thought that the Han army had occupied his hometown of Chudi, which plunged him into deep despair.
However, Xiang Yu did not rest on his laurels. He knew that waiting for death here was not the answer. So, Xiang Yu rode a horse and led hundreds of loyal and brave men to break through the siege and flee south at night. Although Liu Bang sent cavalry to lead 5,000 men in pursuit, Xiang Yu still resisted hard and crossed the Huai River, but there were only more than 100 strong men left who followed him.
Eventually, the Han army caught up with them. Xiang Yu knew that there was no hope of escaping and could not face the shame of the people of Jiangdong, so he chose to kill himself by the river. Liu Bang thus became the sole lord of the world, but Xiang Yu's ambition was completely shattered with his death.
This historical story shows us Xiang Yu's perseverance and perseverance, as well as his choice in a desperate situation. Embattled has become a symbol of the spirit of not giving up and persevering through the face of enemies in a difficult situation.
In Chinese history, this event has left a profound impact and has become one of the focal points of discussion.
