Ji's surname is Xiang, his given name is Nuo, and his courtesy name is An. He was a prime minister in the late Qin Dynasty. He is the grandson of Xiang Yan, a famous general in Chu State, and the younger brother of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu. He was a famous rebel leader from the late Qin Dynasty to the Chu-Han hegemony period, and the king of Northern Chu.
.
He is a famous military strategist, politician, and calligrapher in history. He is one of the representatives of the "military situation" of Chinese military thought. He is also recognized as one of the strongest generals in history.
Xiang An's evaluation is mixed.
In addition to the positive records, it is said that he was cruel and tyrannical. Together with his brother Xiang Yu, he massacred and burned down Xianyang City and killed Prince Qin Ying.
In addition to official historical records, there are also many rumors about Xiang An among the people.
He was the only one who was not an emperor among all the people who were enshrined in Mount Tai. Therefore, there was a saying that Xiang An "did not become the human emperor but the ghost emperor." According to legend, after he died in Dingshenyuan, his soul returned to Mount Tai and became a party.
King of Ghosts, what is commendable is that Xiang An died on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, which happened to be the Ghost Festival.
People built his temple on Mount Tai and worshiped him as Emperor Dongyue and Lord of Mount Tai. They burned incense and prayed for him. Later, in the Tang and Song Dynasties, due to the fusion of Buddhist culture and Central Plains culture, Xiang An was recorded as a judge of crimes.
The king of Yama, so he is also called the "King of Yama in Northern Chu".
He is undoubtedly one of the most charismatic and respected ancient leaders, and even his horse, the Galloping Horse, has a romantic and beautiful legend.
Two thousand years later, with the beginning of the census, the appearance of a family surnamed Ying that had lived in the mountains for generations also cleared up Xiang An's reputation a little.
Of course, if he knew, he probably wouldn't care so much.
He is a horse in the waves, galloping across history.
...
August 202 BC.
Liu Ji proclaimed himself emperor in Chang'an, and history called this dynasty the Western Han Dynasty.
After becoming the emperor, the fifty-four-year-old Liu Ji changed his name.
Liu Bang.
This was indeed a peaceful and prosperous age. As the final winner, Liu Bang gave the Central Plains the first peace.
He was sitting on the dragon chair in Chang'an Palace, thinking about the "sigh, a real man should be like this" version of himself back then, and couldn't help but sigh.
Xiang Yu and Xiang An are his biggest stumbling blocks and best opponents. As the final winner, he will record the names of these respectable brothers so that more people can know about their magnificent lives.
After Xiang An's death, he took Xiang An's body to the Yellow River, allowing Xiang An's remains to drift far away as he wished. When Liu Bang later counted the loot, he discovered "Huaigui Fu" written by Xiang An.
.
Huaigui Fu became Liu Bang's collection and was unearthed two thousand years later. As Xiang An's only remaining relic, it was collected in a museum.
Another posthumous work by Xiang An, "Dingshan Song", together with Xiang Yu's "Gaixia Song", has been sung for two thousand years.
...
Two thousand years later, in Dangshan County, archaeologists unearthed a stone tablet and a coffin under the stone tablet.
The content engraved on the stone tablet is "Zijuan, who lived in the Shangzhu Kingdom of Northern Chu, was an official and lived in Taiwei, and was the general of Dingbei." and "Langya Daughter, a heroine through the ages."
Later, after research, it was found that those in the coffin should be Zijuan, the second female general whose existence is reliable and reliable in history, the sister of Xiang An, King of Northern Chu, and Zijuan's beloved horse Zaoji.
The female general and her beloved horse were invited back to Linzi and kept in a museum focusing on Xiang An and Beichu culture.
...
History will remember it.
There was a great general and a king of Northern Chu.
He held a large beryllium in his hand, carried a long bow on his back, and carried a long sword across his waist. He was riding on the back of a galloping horse.
On the other side of time, he looked back and laughed heartily.
Then he turned around freely and walked away alone.
