History is similar. Do you know what similar historical events are repeating themselves?
The law of social history is the essential and inevitable connection among the elements in the process of social development, which has the characteristics of objectivity, universality and repeatability. The statement that "social history is regular" is correct. Similar events will happen in social history under certain background, for example, after tyranny, it must be people's resistance. This is what the so-called "long-term harmony, long-term harmony" means. However, the occurrence of historical events needs specific time, background, people and so on. , and it is impossible to repeat them. In BC 1 13, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent an envoy to South Vietnam to lobby the King and Empress Dowager of South Vietnam to submit to the Han Dynasty. The King of South Vietnam and the Queen Mother agreed, but the Prime Minister of South Vietnam, Lu Jia, got in the way. The Queen Mother pretended to entertain Lu Jia and prepared to kill her at the banquet.

At the banquet, the envoys of the Han Dynasty all face east, the empress dowager faces south, the king of South Vietnam faces north, and the Prime Minister Lv Jia and his ministers face west to accompany them to drink. Lv Jia's younger brother is a general, and his troops are waiting outside the palace.

After three rounds of drinking, the Queen Mother said to Lv Jia, "South Vietnam belongs to the Han Dynasty, which is beneficial to the country, but the Prime Minister thinks it is unfavorable. What is the reason? " The queen mother suddenly mentioned this in order to anger the envoys of the Han Dynasty. However, the envoys of the Han Dynasty hesitated and never dared to kill Lv Jia.

Lv Jia saw that the people around him were not his cronies, so he stood up and went out. The queen mother was furious and tried to throw Lu Jia out with a spear, but the king of South Vietnam stopped her.

Lv Jia was thus able to escape and put some of his brother's soldiers around his residence. After that, he refused to meet the envoys of the King of South Vietnam and the Han Dynasty.

1 12 BC, that is, in the fifth year of Emperor Ding Yuan of the Han Dynasty, Lv Jia staged a coup, killed Zhao Xing, the king of South Vietnam, and made Zhao Jiande, the nephew of Zhao Xing, the king of New South Vietnam, and took full control of the state power of South Vietnam. This is the "Lv Jia Uprising" in history.

In this incident, the Queen Mother was Fan Zeng, the South Vietnamese King was Xiang Yu, the envoy of the Han Dynasty was Xiang Zhuang, and Lu Jia was equivalent to Liu Bang. If these two hongmen banquets were not invented by Sima Qian, we can only sigh that there are too many coincidences in history.
