In 232 BC, King Ba of Chu was born in Wu Tong Lane in the south of Xia Xiang (now Suqian). In 206 BC, Xiang Yu leveled Xianyang and named Liu Bang Hanwang, calling himself the overlord of Xi Chu. Since then, people have addressed Xiang Yu as the overlord. In Suqian, there are two different versions of the legend in the folk allusions of "overlord is ding".

One is that at the end of the Qin Dynasty, peasant uprisings were surging, and 24-year-old Xiang Yu and his uncle Xiang Liang were fighting in the south of the Yangtze River. In order to expand its strength, Xiang Liang sent Xiang Yu to contact Huan Chu against Qin.

Huan Chu proudly said, "If you can defeat 10,000 people, we will serve you. There is a big tripod in the courtyard, which weighs one thousand kilograms. Can you lift it? " Xiang Yu first asked the four strong men of Huanchu to carry the tripod together, but the tripod was as motionless as a root.

Then, he lifted his skirt, strode to the tripod, held the tripod, mobilized all his strength, and shouted "Get up"! The deep-rooted cauldron is held high and rises and falls. Therefore, Huan Chu readily promised to join the army from the Feather Uprising.
