Sima Qian: I heard that Zhou Sheng said that Shun's eyes were full of heavy pupils, and I heard that Xiang Yu was also a heavy pupil. Are feathers evil in the origin of seedlings? He Xingzhi is also violent! Fu and Qin lost power and influence, bearing the brunt, heroes will rise, and the list is endless. However, the feather is not big enough to use it. Destroy five governors in three years, divide the world, and all governors are sealed, and the government is called "overlord." Although it didn't end, it hasn't appeared since recently. It is difficult for northern Henan to take care of Chu, exile the righteous emperor to stand on his own feet, and blame the princes for betraying themselves. Self-conceited meritorious service, unlearned spell personal wisdom, known as the overlord's business, want to rule the world by force. Five years after his death, the country died, and he died in Dongcheng, but he still didn't feel guilty or blame himself. It is a fallacy to quote' God kills me, not the crime of fighting'!

Meaning: Tai Shigong (Sima Qian) said: I heard Mr. Zhou say: "Shun's eyes seem to be double pupils." I also heard that Xiang Yu also has double pupils. Is Xiang Yu a descendant of Miao (Shun)? (Otherwise) how to rise so fast! Chen Sheng was the first to attack the political missteps of the Qin Dynasty, and (later) the heroes rebelled and fought together for (the world), and the list is endless. Xiang Yu, on the other hand, didn't have an inch of land, so he used this situation to rebel in the fields (countryside). Three years later, he led five governors to destroy Qin and enfeoffment the world to various governors. (All) decrees were promulgated from Xiang Yu, who was called "overlord". Although (his emperor) is inconclusive, (he is also) a (character) that has not been seen recently. Xiang Yu will find it hard to miss Chu for abandoning Guan (returning to Chu), exiled Chu Huaiwang, and stood on his own feet as king, but resented the vassals for betraying himself. (He) flaunted his own merits, but Zhang Xi 'an's own ability did not follow the example of the ancients, calling it the overlord's great cause. He wanted to conquer and manage the world by force, and finally died in his own country and in Dongcheng in five years, without realizing it or blaming himself. (This is all) a mistake. It is a fallacy to say, "Fight is not (my) crime if God kills me"!

Second, the introduction:

Xiang Yu (232 BC-202 BC), Xiang surname, Mi surname, Ming surname, Zi Yu, was born in the next phase of Chu State (now Suqian, Jiangsu Province) and the grandson of Xiang Yan, a famous Chu State. He is a military strategist and a representative of China's military thought "Military Intelligence" (military situation, military tactics, military yin and yang, military skills). Li Wanfang's evaluation of it is "the brave feather is unparalleled through the ages."

Xiang Yu followed his uncle Xiang Liang in Wuzhong (now Suzhou, Jiangsu Province) to fight against Qin in his early years. After Xiang Liang was killed, he led an army to cross the river to save Zhao Wangxie, and defeated Qin Jun's main forces led by Zhang Han and Wang Li in the Battle of Julu. After Qin's death, he was called the overlord of the West Chu, with Pengcheng (now Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province) as the capital, and the system of enfeoffment was implemented, and the heroes of Qin State and the nobles of six countries were crowned kings.

Then Liu Bang, the king of Han Dynasty, sent troops from Hanzhong to attack Xiang Yu, and Xiang Yu launched a Chu-Han war with him for four years. Although Liu Bang suffered repeated defeats and wars during the period, Xiang Yu could not have a fixed rear supply, and he was exhausted. He also suspected that his father Fan Zeng was finally destroyed by Liu Bang. In 202 BC, Xiang Yu was defeated (now south of Lingbi County, Anhui Province) and broke through to Wujiang River (now wujiang town County, Anhui Province) to commit suicide.
