Yu Ji, the beauty of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu during the Chu-Han War, has no exact name (yú), date of birth and death, place of birth and ending. She was always with Xiang Yu in the embattled predicament, and Xiang Yu wrote Gaixia Song for her.

According to legend, Xiang Liang killed people to avoid disaster and brought Xiang Yu to Wuzhong from Xiaxiang, which is Suzhou today. The Yu family is a prominent family in Wuzhong (at the end of Qin Dynasty, wuyue was set as Huiji County, and Wu (now Suzhou) was taken as the county government). Xiang Liang's uncle made friends with the children in Jiangdong here. Yu Ji, who longed for Xiang Yu's fame, married Xiang Yu and stayed with him all the time. Or it can be said that Xiang Yu was lucky enough to know Yu Ji, got this beautiful woman and got a badge.

Xiang Yu's anecdotes and allusions

1, cross the rubicon

In the Battle of Julu, Xiang Yu led an army through Zhangshui, ordered all the ships to sink and all the cooking utensils to be destroyed. It took only three days of hay to beat Qin Jun, so Xiang Yu's foot soldiers fought bravely with the heart of death, and the fighting capacity of Xiang Yu's army was greatly improved, and the princes and soldiers killed one block and ten. In the end, they won the battle of the giant deer.

2. Hongmen Banquet

That is, Fan Zeng gave a banquet to persuade Xiang Yu to kill Liu Bang, hence the idiom "Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is intended to repeat itself".

3. Ready for battle

After the defeat, Xiang Yu was surrounded by Liu Bangjun. Liu Bangjun sang "Songs of Chu Land" loudly at night. Xiang was very sad after hearing this, thinking that Liu Bang had pacified Chu, and Xiang's morale collapsed.

4. Farewell my concubine

There is a beautiful woman named Yu Ji in Xiang Yu, who often accompanies Xiang Yu, but Xiang Yu has to lead an elite rider to prepare for the breakthrough, so he has to make a farewell song with Yu Ji, and Yu Ji also sang a song to show his death and bid farewell to Xiang Yu with tears. Farewell My Concubine was later adapted into operas, movies, novels, songs and other literary works.
