Songs of distress on all sides: many friends and many paths

Today,A teacher of wuxi mandarinedu explained to foreign students the origin and meaning of the four-faced song:

The dispute between Chu and Han between Xiang Yu and Liu Bang lasted for five years. At the beginning of the war, the two sides won or lost each other. But later, Liu Bang's strength grew stronger and stronger, and Xiang Yu was gradually at a disadvantage. The two sides agreed to take the eastern and Western margins of the Gulf as the boundary, with Chu in the East and Han in the west, and not to infringe upon each other.

Later Liu Bang listened to Zhang Liang and Chen Ping's advice and thought that he should eliminate Xiang Yu when he was weak. He joined forces with Han Xin, Peng Yue and Liu Jia to pursue Xiang Yu's troops heading east to Pengcheng and launched an attack on Chu's army in a hurry. Liu Bang's action, Xiang Yu caught off guard, was forced to the Han army. Han Xin laid an ambush on ten sides and surrounded the Chu Legion.

At this time, Xiang Yu's soldiers were very few, and there was no food left. In the face of the powerful Han army, it is difficult for Xiang Yu to stand out the encirclement. In order to completely disintegrate the fighting spirit of the Chu Army, Liu Bang adopted Zhang Liang's suggestion and ordered the Han Army to sing songs of the Chu area, which made the Chu Army think that the Han Army had occupied all the Chu area. Xiang Yu heard the folk songs of Chu from all sides at night and asked in surprise, "Has Liu Bang got Chu yet?" Why are there so many Chu people in his army? Deeply aware that the tide was over, he got up from bed and drank in the camp to relieve his sorrow. What he couldn't let go of at the moment was his beloved Yuji and the Wumao horse. When he thought of it, he was drinking and singing sadly, "It's hard to pull out the mountain without losing it!" What can we do if we don't die? What can we do if we don't die? After singing, I shed tears, and the people beside me were very sad and could not lift their heads. Yuji cut herself in front of Xiangyu's horse, and Xiangyu's hero ended up on the Wujiang River.

From this idiom, we can understand that Xiangyu, a self-desperate man, has fallen into despair because of the betrayal of his relatives. In real life, people in despair are often blamed for their own actions. Their daily actions make all people lose confidence in them. When the "wolf" really comes, no one sympathizes with them anymore, and the result is naturally conceivable. If you don't want to suffer from all kinds of misfortune, just be honest and kind and make more reliable friends on weekdays. It is the so-called "friends are hard to find in thousands of miles, friends have more roads to go". If you have one more friend and one more chance, you will have fewer chances to offend a person. Take friends as a lifelong dependence, and believe that your life will be smooth and smooth.
