Speaking of Xiang Yu, he is like a hero in my childhood. One person can kill hundreds of people, ride a fine horse to fight in the north, pull out mountains and anger horses, and have a beautiful and honest beauty like a concubine. Even though he died, he was so cowardly that he refused to commit suicide. Such a hero can easily win people's hearts. According to legend, it was once sealed for the public. After Xiang Yu's death, all Chu States except Lu surrendered to Hanwang.
Now, I think Xiang Yu has more personality charm, especially benevolence and righteousness, but they inevitably cover up his weakness in character, which naturally comes out when times are unfavorable.
Here is an interesting thing. After the Hongmen banquet, Xiang Yu led his troops to slaughter Xianyang and set fire to Qin Gong. The fire burned for three months, but it did not go out. Wang Xiang was advised to say, "The Guanzhong area is cut off by mountains and rivers, and the land is fertile. You can build a capital here, and you will definitely rule the world. " Seeing that Qin's palace was razed to the ground by the fire, he was homesick and just wanted to return to the East. Therefore, he said, "riches and honour are like splendid clothes at night. How can people see my wealth? " Hearing this, the man laughed at Wang Xiang privately and said, "Many people say that people in Chu are wearing hats and pretending to be people like monkeys taking a bath. This is true." Hearing this, King Xiang boiled the man and killed him. What this man said was later extended into an idiom called "bathing monkeys to get the crown" According to Xiang Yu's character, he can't stand such ridicule.
Compared with Xiang Yu, Liu Bang did a good job in this respect, whether it was sneaking away at the Hongmen banquet or "I'd rather fight with you!" in Gaocheng. And so on, all reflect his "big line regardless of details, big gifts and small concessions" of character strengths.
From this point of view, the hero who can dominate the world is not necessarily a gifted hero in chinese odyssey.
On the quality of commander-in-chief talents from the success or failure of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu
According to Historical Records, at the end of Qin Dynasty, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu witnessed the majesty and dignity of Ying Zheng, the first emperor of China. But there is a big gap between the two. When they met the first emperor, both of them said something as if they vowed to gamble, which was very interesting. Liu bang met the mighty Qin Shihuang and said, "A gentleman should be like this!" It seems that only Qin Shihuang is a gentleman, and everyone else is a husband! Envy is hidden in words. Xiang Yu is more straightforward. He said, "I'll take his place!" . This fellow has great courage. Thanks to his uncle's escape and the clutter, the first emperor didn't hear him. Otherwise, it is impossible for Xiang Yu to perform the scene of Farewell My Concubine, which has long been a vegetarian meal. That era was also an era of competing for cheese, and the biggest piece of cheese was the world of the Qin Dynasty. This big cheese of the Qin Dynasty is really attractive! Oh! This big cheese! The descendants of the six countries and ambitious people stared at them. Liu Bang and Xiang Yu are no exception. Later, the world belonged to Liu Bang, and many people complained in later generations. That is to say, it is no problem and reasonable for Xiang Yu to have a beautiful world! What are you, Liu Bang? People's grievances can't affect Liu Bang, a rogue and a great man's founding emperor.
Roughly speaking, these two people have the same hobbies and are unwilling to study. If it is true, it really deserves careful scrutiny. I just said cheese in your eyes. Tell me about you in the cheese age. You-the one who wants cheese. Explain the truth through the success or failure of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu.
First, Liu and Xiang's success or failure of the concept of entrepreneurial talent inspiration and persistence
1. Entrepreneurial talents don't need to pursue perfection-it is difficult for Xiang Yu to know people and be good at their duties, but the emphasis is different. Therefore, the key tasks are different, and the way to complete the task is very different. There are great differences in the evaluation and appointment of talents between the entrepreneurial stage and the persistence stage: the entrepreneurial stage tends to value talents over morality; Persistence often requires both ability and political integrity.
2. It is very important to conform to the trend of the times-Xiang Yu lost his judgment on the world situation. Now let's compare Liu Bang and Xiang Yu. Two people in the same cheese age, one is a "rogue" in the cheese age and the other is a tragic hero in the cheese age. The causal ending of two people is very enlightening. His personal quality and ending fulfilled a causal relationship, and this ending verified two sentences:
The first sentence: those who have virtue live in it, and those who have no virtue lose it. "God has no relatives, but virtue is the supplement" ("Zuo Zhuan? Xi five-year tribute)
The second sentence: the trend of world development, those who follow it prosper, those who go against it die.
"There will always be days, not for survival, not for death." ("Xunzi? Tianlun ")
These two sentences should be analyzed rationally, not emotionally. This "virtue" includes the ability and accomplishment mentioned now, but what is more prominent is the quality of the commander in chief. After Qin's death, Chu (Xiang Yu called himself the overlord of the West Chu) and Han (named Liu Bang as Hanwang) fought for about four years. Liu bang won. In fact, at the Hongmen banquet, Fan Zeng, the counselor of Xiang Yu, was regarded as his father and had long known Liu Bang's behavior and ambition. So when Liu Bang couldn't be killed, the sword of hatred cut the jade bucket and shouted, "So it became the name of the vertical shaft!" "
Second, compared with the two, it is natural for Liu Bang to get this big cheese of the Qin Dynasty.
The main reasons are: 1, restraining behavior and waiting for the weather. Liu Bangzhi got big cheese and restrained his hooliganism. "The woman is very lucky" and "the ambition is not small" ... This son of heaven is angry ",fighting for Qin for Xiang Yu and sealing the treasures of Xianyang. Use time, accumulate strength and take the initiative to attack. Xiang Yu, on the other hand, occupied Xianyang laid by Liu Bang, set fire to Qin Gong, destroyed Epang Palace, and robbed women of treasures, which showed that he was ambitious, neglected to establish an image among the people, relaxed military discipline, and gradually lost popular support.
2, the three chapters of the law, Zhao Xin world. Hanwang Liu Bang listened to Xiao He's plan and took three chapters to win the trust of the people; Xiang Yu set fire to Qin Gong and plundered the beauty's property, which became the foil of Liu Renyi.
3, condescending to recruit talented people. General Han Xin, counselor Sean, Prime Minister Xiao He, and talents like Chen Ping, Zhou Bo and Xia Houying were all used. Build a platform to worship generals and give them handsome symbols. Make quick decisions on the needs and strategies that are conducive to obtaining big cheese; Xiang Yu was indecisive. Finally, a woman's heart is bound to be close to employing people, and he can't employ people. In addition, he made a mistake in decision-making and finally missed the opportunity.
4. Use talents, regardless of origin. Liu bang accepted the adviser's advice and chose people regardless of status and reputation. Han Xin humiliated her legs, Chen Ping stole her sister-in-law, and Fan Kuai slaughtered dogs. As for intellectuals such as Li Sheng, Lu Jia, Li Zuoche, Kuaiche, etc. They also try their best to show their talents. This is called the length of employing people and allowing people to be short; Xiang Yu appointed Han Xin as Ji Lang, who was overqualified. He can't choose people to know people, and he can't distinguish between a wise man and a fool. He was a crony, and the spies of Xiang Group cooperated from inside to outside, which eventually led to bad results.
5. Be able to understand the overall situation and take care of the overall situation. Liu bang can assess the situation and wait for the opportunity. This is a more rational thinking recognized by Liu Bang. Xiang Yu, however, was headstrong, emotional and ignorant of the overall situation, which eventually ruined the overall situation that he was most likely to get big cheese. To be exact, the Great Wall was not destroyed by him, but also self-destructed!
6, submit to humiliation, don't make great plans. No one can control a person's ambition or ambition. Not everyone can be a grandson or pretend to be a grandson in the face of great humiliation! Liu bangxing! Dare not! A gentleman can bend and stretch. From this point, we can foresee who may win in the end! Liu Bangbing was defeated and accumulated strength to make a comeback; Xiang Yu was defeated, thinking that "Heaven will kill me", but Wujiang committed suicide.
7, large capacity, can accommodate others. Liu Bang can tolerate talents with personality, especially at critical moments. Han Xin, a general, conquered the State of Qi, established himself as a false king of Qi, and served Liu Bang. Liu Bang hesitated when he received the report. As soon as Zhang Liang stabbed him, Liu Bang immediately responded: "If a gentleman wants to do it, he will be the real king, not the fake king!" So he named Han Xin King of Qi. Xiang Yu, on the other hand, was overjoyed, arbitrarily sealed the king, set himself on fire, made enemies on all sides, and was resentful. Although people dare to speak out in anger, the rebels have been completely divided, leaving only terrible unity.
8. There is no doubt about employing people, and there is no need for suspects. It can be said that Liu Bang has the expertise of employing people, and with the planning and staff of those counselors, he has basically successfully completed several key events. Liu Bang also dared to speak publicly at the grand banquet after he proclaimed himself emperor, saying that his ability was not as good as that of the "Three Masters" (Han Xin, Sean and Xiao He), and he was very modest but really said, "I can use it!" Han Xin used as many soldiers as possible, while Liu Bangze was good at "general". Xiang Yu didn't know how to be a good man, so he left his father Fan Zeng.
Although the above induction is incomplete, incomplete. Just simply made some comparisons one by one. However, it can be seen that there is a reason for Liu Bang's victory, and there is a result for Xiang Yu's failure. what do you think? In short, if you want to create your own cheese, not to mention big cheese, you should have a rational mind, such as judgment, adaptability, decision-making, responsiveness, and ability to use people (you can unite people to conquer the world). Employers should not be absolutely concerned about the amount of knowledge (I personally don't object to more knowledge). But it can't be limited to knowledge, especially contemporary employment, and it can't be limited to academic qualifications. Without knowledge, knowledge is dead and useless. As long as you have knowledge, knowledge is alive!
Idiom stories about Xiang Yu
Xiang Yu is a legendary hero in the history of China, and many stories related to him gradually evolved into idioms. It is unprecedented that so many idiom stories happen to one person.
But in 2 10 BC, Qin Shihuang marched through Huiji (now Suzhou, Jiangsu), and Xiang Yu also went to watch it with everyone. Xiang Yu, who was on the sidelines, couldn't help but blurt out, "He can replace him." This sentence alone shows Xiang Yu's ambition and heroism.
Pre-emptive strike-After the Chen Sheng Uprising, Yin Tong, the prefect of Huiji, also wanted to take the opportunity to fight against Qin. When he summoned Xiang Yu in September 209 BC, he said, "Now is a good time to destroy Qin. It is said that the first attack is the first, and the second attack is the second. I want to start with you as soon as possible. " Is Xiang Yu, who comes from a famous family, willing to entrust himself to others? According to the plan, Xiang Yu killed Yin Tong, who claimed to be a "preemptive strike", incorporated his men and publicly raised the banner of the uprising.
Cross the rubicon to 10-208 BC, Zhang Han, commander-in-chief of the Qin Dynasty, commanded Qin Jun's main force to camp a giant deer, and Xiang Yu led his troops to rescue him. In order to show his determination to die, Xiang Yu led his troops across the river. "The boat is sinking, the pot is broken, the house is burning, and three diets show that the foot soldiers will die, and no one will return." Xiang Yu led the army to break the route for providing foodstuff for Qin Jun and fought fiercely with Qin Jun for nine games. "Chu soldiers are all equal to one." . Qin lost his troops, and Xiang Yu chased them, forcing Zhang Han to surrender his remnants.
Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is intended to pay tribute to the public. After overthrowing the Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu hosted a banquet for Liu Bang in Hongmen (now near Lintong, Shaanxi). At the banquet, Fan Zeng, the counselor of Xiang Yu, motioned for Xiang Yu to kill Liu Bang several times, but Xiang Yu ignored it because he could not bear it. So Fan Zeng asked Xiang Zhuang to kill Liu Bang in the name of sword dancing. Seeing that the situation was urgent, Sean, Liu Bang's counselor, went out to the court and called Fan Kuai, saying, "Today, Xiangzhuang dances swords and often wants to pay tribute to the public." So Fan Kuai walked into the banquet hall with a sword and shield, accusing Xiang Yu of breaking his word. Xiang Yu was impressed by Fan Kuai's momentum, and Liu Bang took the opportunity to escape.
After the Qin Dynasty was destroyed, Xiang Yu led his army into Xianyang and burned and killed it. The Xianyang fire lasted for three days. The adviser advised Xiang Yu: "Guanzhong is surrounded by mountains and waters, and the land is rich and beautiful, which can be used as the capital of the overlord." Xiang Yu refused on the pretext that "wealth does not return to his hometown, just like walking in the brocade at night, and no one knows it." The person who advised him sighed: "People say that the Chu people take bathing monkeys as their crown, and it really happens." Hearing this, Xiang Yu killed the person who said this.
Embattled on all sides-Xiang Yu lost the support of his officials and the people because of his headstrong and cruel temperament, and was finally defeated in the "Chu-Han dispute" and surrounded by Liu Bang's army (now south of Lingbi, Anhui). At night, the military camp was besieged on all sides, and Xiang Yu was frightened. Seeing that the tide was gone, he led deus ex and fled to the Wujiang River. Because he consciously "has no face to see his elders in Jiangdong", Xiang Yu did not commit suicide by crossing the boat.
In addition, some idioms, such as "restless", "no offense in autumn", "informal" and "secretly crossing the warehouse", are all related to Xiang Yu to some extent, so I won't repeat them here.
