What is the ending of Farewell My Concubine?

Xiang Yu was the main force to overthrow the Qin Dynasty, which led to its demise. Although Xiang Yu made great contributions to overthrowing the Qin Dynasty, he was finally defeated by Liu Bang. In the end, Xiang Yu was defeated, but the story of Farewell My Concubine survived. At that time, Xiang Yu was defeated and fled, but he was worried about his concubine, who also knew this, that is, he drew his sword and killed himself, so that Xiang Yu quickly fled to Ukraine.

Liu Bang was angry with Xiang Yu, but he was a man with a lot of calculation. He listened to the schemer's plan, saved his strength, and took advantage of the overlord's opportunity to send troops to capture Guanzhong, seize the overlord's land and push eastward. Chu overlord was furious. With his courage and good military superiority, he returned to the army and defeated Liu Bang. The war between them lasted five years. After a series of battles, the soldiers were tired and tired, food and grass were poor, and the people had no intention of farming, which made them sad.

Xiang and Liu were finally forced to call a truce. The two sides demarcated by the gap in Xianyang, belonging to Chu in the east and Han in the west, and each side kept its boundaries and did not invade each other. Liu Bang exchanged documents with Xiang Yu, and Liu asked Xiang Yu to return his father and wife Lu, who were captured by the Chu army in the war. Xiang Yu was generous and immediately released the two important hostages, and Liu Bang was very grateful.

Yu, an important official of Xiang Yu, is Yu Ji's brother and loyal to Xiang Yu. He felt that Li Zuoche had ulterior motives, but it was difficult for Xiang Yu to listen to other people's opinions. He was helpless and had to go to his sister to persuade Xiang Yu to change his mind.

Yu Ji and Xiang Yu fought side by side for many years. She is not only beautiful and smart, but also knows her husband's temperament because she learned to practice sword from an early age. She often helps her husband solve problems, and Xiang Yu can also listen to her advice. Today, after listening to my brother's story about Li Zuoche, I was extremely worried. I secretly worried that Wang Ba's arrogant personality of being arbitrary and not listening to advice would be defeated by Liu Bang for a long time.

It was late, and Xiang Yu went back to camp to rest. Seeing that Xiang Yu was unhappy, Yu Ji served more and more carefully, took off his helmet and disarmed him, telling him in a low voice why he was angry. Xiang Yu said: "Liu Bang, an ungrateful little man, joined forces with various governors to fight with me and posted a post to slander the orphan king."

Yu Ji took the opportunity to persuade: "The way to use troops is to know yourself and know yourself. If you rush to send troops in a moment of anger, I am afraid that Liu has a large number of troops, and Han Xin's treachery will not be the blessing of the king! " "Concubine makes sense. If it is too late to send troops, will it not be laughed at by the princes of the world? "

"The gentleman is resilient, why are you afraid of being laughed at by others? In addition, Li Zuoche was sharp-tongued and didn't know the details. Be more careful. " Xiang Yu's mind was fixed, and even Yu Ji's goodwill was annoyed. He said, "I fought alone and never lost." I'm the only one who sent troops this time, and I won't go back until I destroy Han. You don't have to say anything, you will send troops tomorrow, you come with me alone! "

"Concubine makes sense. If it is too late to send troops, will it not be laughed at by the princes of the world? "

"The gentleman is resilient, why are you afraid of being laughed at by others? In addition, Li Zuoche was sharp-tongued and didn't know the details. Be more careful. "

Xiang Yu's mind was fixed, and even Yu Ji's goodwill was annoyed. He said, "I fought alone and never lost." I'm the only one who sent troops this time, and I won't go back until I destroy Han. You don't have to say anything, you will send troops tomorrow, you come with me alone! Yu Ji was afraid of offending Xiang Yu, so he stopped talking and ordered someone to serve him with wine to solve Xiang Yu's worries.

The next day, Chu Ying blew his horn, unfurled flags, and Xiang Yu took the stage, mustered his troops and horses, and prepared for battle. Suddenly, dark clouds rolled in the sky, a gust of wind blew and broke the flagpole of the flag. Xiang Yu's seat was full of trembling and roaring. All the soldiers had an ominous premonition, and they were all scared to shame. Zhou Lan, Xiang Yu's favorite general, advised: "It's no use folding the flag and yelling in the army!" Yu Ji also advised: "Send troops today; I hope that the king will listen to the advice and win every battle. "

Xiang Yu snorted in his nose. He fought Liu Bang seventy times and never lost. Now, the arrow is on the string, the knife has been drawn, and the departure is just around the corner. Is there any reason to return it? ! At this critical moment, Li Zuoche took advantage of the situation to report a good news to the overlord: Han Xin was overjoyed and gathered many soldiers, but I didn't know the delay was too great. Seeing that the grain and grass could not be supported, he ordered some troops to return to the station, and Hanwang Liu Bang also led some troops to return to the elevation. We should take this opportunity to speed up our March and attack the Han army. Hearing the news, Xiang Yu strengthened his determination to attack, and immediately headed for Gaixia with a great army.

Xiang Yu's troops were stationed in Gaixia, and they were uneasy. They sent someone to inquire about the news of Liu Bang and Han Xin's rapid withdrawal. The spies reported that the Han Xin camp was stationed in the east of Jiulishan, with plenty of soldiers and food, and had no intention of withdrawing troops. Xiang Yu was frightened to disgrace after hearing this, staring at a pair of absent round eyes and shouting: "Oh dear! Our army has fallen into a tight encirclement! "

Xiang Yu's urgent search for Li Zuoche has long gone. Li Zuoche's task of luring the enemy in depth has been successfully completed. He sneaked back to the Han army camp and reported to me. When Han Xin saw the fish take the bait, he arranged for Liu Bang to confront Xiang Yu personally. The next day, the two sides fought. Xiang Yu was particularly angry when he saw Liu Bang, and he swore: "You heartless little man, you were saved from death only when you lost Guling in the previous dynasty. I haven't confronted you for five years. Today, you deserve to hit my gun, and you will die. "

Liu Bangwen, not angry, still used words to stimulate Xiang Yu; "I am a person fighting with you, but I am not brave. Today, I will punish you and let you be wiped out. " The two armies met each other and killed each other. Liu Bang pretended to be defeated and lured Xiang Yu to kill thousands of miles to seal a mountain pass. Xiang Bo was afraid of cheating and reminded: "Your Majesty, stay here, don't fall into the trap of Liu Bang, and lure the enemy deeper."

Xiang Yu suddenly realized, bridled Wu Zhui, ordered to retreat, and the army immediately turned around and retreated. Suddenly, someone on the mountain called Xiang Yu's name. Li Zuoche, the spy, said, "Your Majesty, please turn around. The Han Dynasty will prosper and the State of Chu will perish. Your majesty has entered the cage. Why not take this opportunity to surrender and be the referee of my Minister Li Zuoche? "

Xiang Yu saw another enemy. Wow, he is very angry. How can he stop? He turned and shouted, "Generals, chase me!" Chu Jun, who had just turned his head, suddenly turned his head and entered the Jiuliguan of life. He got into the house of flying daggers arranged by Liu Bang and Han Xin, and the Han army succeeded and quickly gathered around Chu Jun.

Xiang Yu, with a gun in his hand, left and right, killed one batch after another, killing one layer after another. How can an army of 100,000 be better than an army of 300,000 surrounded by elaborate arrangements? In a critical situation, Chu generals Zhong Limei and Zhou Lan risked their lives to break through and protect Xiang Yu. Zhou Lan was killed.

Han Xin's flying daggers swept the board, but Xiang Yu ran away. The defeated Xiang Yu walked into the camp, his face livid. Yu Ji has never seen her husband lose the battle, and she is very uncomfortable. However, she tried her best to control her emotions and comfort the king. From then on, they decided to hold the camp firmly and stop attacking, just waiting for the Han army to retreat without food. But they never imagined that Chu's grain depot had already been burned down by the Han army, and even the route to provide food was cut off. The three armed forces have no food and grass, their morale is shaken, and complaints abound.

Some said, "The King only drinks and gets angry!" Some said, "Wang Dazhong is a traitor, and he will only be cheated!" " Some people insist on going out, which is better than staying here to die. Xiang Yu is in the tent at the moment, helpless, and concubine is busy putting wine for the king to relieve boredom. After a few drinks, the west wind blew outside the tent, and the branches whistled, as if countless ghosts were crying. Xiang Yu sighed: "This is a crime of extermination, not a war!"

I heard that, Yu Ji had a sense of foreboding. Seeing that it was getting late, she waited on her husband to take off his clothes early and rest. She was uneasy and took a lantern to patrol outside the account. The moonlight was bright, deeper and quieter, and a familiar song was faintly heard in the night wind, but it came from Liu Bang's military camp opposite, singing all Chu songs. Is the land of overlord Chu occupied by Liu Bang? Otherwise, how could anyone sing Chu songs in Hanying? Didn't Liu Bang recruit Chu people just to enrich the Han army? It's really worrying.

It was Han Xin (not recorded in Historical Records) who made the Han army sing songs about the hometown of Chu people. The familiar local accent made Chu people miss their parents, their wives and children, and their hometown, mistakenly thinking that Liu Bang had occupied his hometown. And he was trapped under the cover, and there was no food or reinforcements outside, just waiting for death. Listening to these worrying local accents, the Chu army deserted in twos and threes, and later it turned out to be a whole batch.

On the night patrol tonight, I only heard Chu songs disturbing the morale of the army. She hurried into the account to wake the king and listened carefully together. The king heard the song of Chu.

Not surprisingly, he said, "Most of the enemy troops are Chu people. Liu Bang must have got the land of Chu, and there is no way out. The general trend has gone! " Alas! The former, I don't know how to win, because each hero has his own way of fighting, and a lonely man can destroy and occupy one place. Now people from all walks of life are gathering to attack me. You and I are trapped under the eyes of the law, and there is nothing to eat in serenade, so we can't stay. I'm determined to fight that thief again. It's hard to decide whether to win or lose this time. Look at this, concubine, today is the day when you and I leave. "

Hearing this, concubine Yu was already sobbing. Wu Zhui wailed outside the tent, and Xiang Yu walked out of the tent and caressed the saddle that accompanied him in life and death. Wu Zhui looked at his master quietly with tears in his eyes. Yu Jiqiang smiled and comforted her husband; "It's not too late to plot again, as long as we stay put and wait for the opportunity."

Yu Ji advised Xiang Yu to enter an account, drink to relieve boredom, and drank several glasses of wine. Xiang Yu generously sighed: Cough! I miss Xiang Yu! Pull up the mountain and work hard, and you will not die when it is unfavorable. If you don't die, you can't do anything and you will be afraid. Yu Ji followed Xiang Yu for many years. She has never seen her husband sing such a sad song. She knew that there was not much time to reunite with him. She was dressed in luxurious and beautiful clothes, holding a sword and singing and dancing;

"Advise the king to drink and listen to Yu Ge, dance to relieve anxiety, win Qin without breaking the country, and the hero will fight all the way. Since ancient times, I have said that you should not bully me. Success or failure is in an instant, so relax and drink and sit down! "

Xiang Yu drank wine to drown his sorrows, and suddenly reported, "The army is under attack from all sides, and the Han army is under attack from all sides." Xiang Yu immediately put up his tent, and the reconnaissance horse reported, "Eight thousand troops have been scattered on all sides." Xiang Yu knows the general trend! He urged his beloved princess to put on her combat suit and follow him as soon as possible, deus ex. At this time, Yu Zi also came to the breakthrough of protecting the king. Yu Ji didn't want to drag Xiang Yu down. He calmly told her husband, "If there is any disadvantage in sending troops this time, retreat to Jiangdong and take care of yourself."

Suddenly, Yu Ji pulled out his sword and stuck it in Xiang Yu's waist, committing suicide.

Xiang Yu set foot on Wu Zhui, like a wounded tiger, and broke out with the last 800 soldiers. After dawn, the Han army discovered that it was Xiang Yu who escaped from the south last night. Han Xin urged the general to lead five thousand cavalry to kill Xiang Yu. Running all the way, Xiang Yu, has crossed the Huaihe River, but only a hundred people followed him.

They came to Yin Ling in Huainan. There are two forks in the road before them. They don't know where to go. They asked the farmers by the roadside for directions. The farmer looked at Grandpa Jun in front of him, looking awkward and fierce. He pointed to him: "Just go left." I had no idea that there was a swamp on the left. When Xiang Yu's troops struggled out of the swamp, the pursuers had arrived.

At present, Xiang Yu's army has only 28 soldiers. Seeing that 5,000 troops were running after him, Xiang Yu knew that he could not escape. He still said to his men without fear: "I fought for eight years, fought more than 70 wars, and won the battle." I have never failed. Trapped today, I want to strike the Han army three times and seize the flag to let you know that killing me is not a war crime. "

Say and shout at top of voice, prancing across the gun, rushed to the han army. The Han army immediately gathered around, and no one could stop Xiang Yu's eight cannons. A member of the Han army will be selected under the horse. The Han army was forced to retreat for several miles and was besieged again. Xiang Yu killed a captain and led hundreds of people, and Xiang Yu's men only injured two people.

However, the Han army was outnumbered. When Xiang Yu reached the Wujiang River, he was the only one bleeding and fighting alone. The mighty Wujiang River, the pavilion of Wujiang River, stood by the river early, prepared the boat, waited for Xiang Yu and advised him to cross the river at once. After Xiang crossed the river, he returned to his hometown, where he started an uprising. However, he would rather die than return: "At the beginning, I crossed the river with 8,000 soldiers from Jiangdong and conquered the world in the west, which has grown to hundreds of thousands of troops. Today, they are all finished! How dare I go back to see my fellow villagers in Jiangdong! "

He jumped off the horse, and this beautiful horse led him through life and death, invincible. He let the fisherman cross the river and let him escape with an open hand. Chasing and screaming, he refused to get on the boat, suddenly jumped into the river with his hoof and was swept away by the waves. The pursuers have arrived, and Han Bing and Han Bing will come around layer by layer like ants carrying mantis. Xiang Yu stared at a pair of shining eyes, pulled out his sword and strode to meet the enemy. No one dares to approach the Han army.

Xiang Yu suddenly saw an acquaintance in the Han army. This person was Lv Matong, a subordinate who rebelled against Chu and surrendered to Han. "General Lu came at the right time. I heard that Liu Bang gave me a daughter to buy my head. All right, I'll cut off my head for you. Please reward! " Han army soldiers will retreat in fear, and Xiang Yu will commit suicide with his eyes wide open.

Extended data:

Farewell My Concubine is an idiom in China, and its pinyin is bà wáng bié jī:, which means to describe the tragic scene of the protagonist's ending. Now it's more like being arbitrary, divorced from the masses and eventually collapsing.

According to Records of Historical Records of Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu, the overlord, was defeated in the war with Liu Bang to seize feudal rule, and he knew that the tide was over and had to bid farewell to Kyrgyzstan on the eve of the breakthrough.

If you have a beauty, you will always be lucky; Good horses are famous and often ride. Therefore, Wang Xiang is a sad and generous poet, who wrote a poem for himself, saying, "If you pull out a mountain, you will be angry with the world, and if it is unfavorable, you will not die." What can I do without dying? "Songs count, beauty and it. Xiang Wang cried several times, but both sides cried, afraid to look up.

"There is beauty in danger", but it is also called "concubine" which has been circulated for a long time in the nothingness of the future; The name "Yuji" didn't appear until the Tang Dynasty's Kuodizhi and other books. Of course, "Ji" is just a synonym, not the real name of Yu Ji. The epigram in the Five Dynasties was simply called "Yu Meiren".

Ban Gu said in The Biography of Sima Qian in Han Dynasty: "Sima Qian used Shi Ben and Warring States Policy according to Zuo Shi and Guoyu to record the Spring and Autumn Period of Chu and Han Dynasty, and then ended in Tian Han." Among them, Chu Qiu was written by Lu Jia in the early Han Dynasty and died in the Southern Song Dynasty. When Sima Qian wrote Historical Records, he referred to the book Chu and Han Chunqiu. There is no doubt: "Gai Sima Qian wrote Historical Records according to Chu and Han Chunqiu, so his words about Qin and Han affairs were particularly detailed."

However, Sima Qian, who pays attention to details and is curious, recorded the chorus of "Beauty and Peace" in Chu Qiu, but did not record it in Historical Records. Zhang Shoujie, a Tang Dynasty poet, quoted this song from the Spring and Autumn Period of Chu and Han Dynasties in Historical Records Justice:

The song said: When the Han soldiers first arrived, songs were everywhere, and the king was tired, how could my concubine live?

For a long time, some people suspected that this harmony song was forged by later generations because there was no such mature five-character poem in Qin and Han Dynasties. The elegy of Mrs. Qi recorded in the biography of consorts in the Han Dynasty is a fairly mature five-character poem: "The son is king, the mother is Lu, and the curtain is thin all day long, often interacting with death! You are three thousand miles away, who will sue you? " Qin Shimin's ballad recorded in Li Daoyuan's Notes on Water Classics and Rivers is also a quite mature five-character poem: "When a man is born, he should be careful not to lift it, while a woman should breast-feed. I can't see the Great Wall, the body is the pillar. " Therefore, the harmony song recorded in Chu Qiu is not a fake, so there should be no problem.

Chu, Autumn and Historical Records of Xiang Yu are the earliest documents to record the story of Farewell My Concubine, but neither of them involves the ending of Farewell My Concubine. In a natural way, concubine Yu could not survive, otherwise there would be no case of concubine Yu's suicide, and there would be no "beauty tomb of Xiang Yu" in the Tang Dynasty. The next world war, surrounded by songs, drinking swords and Chu accounts, can only be the only ending for Kyrgyzstan.

It is generally believed that the story of Farewell My Concubine reflects the earth-shattering love between Yu Ji and Xiang Yu, and the hero of the overlord of Chu ended in suicide. This sad moment was fixed between the lines of China literature and the stage of China opera, and became the most classic and exciting brilliant legend in China's classical love.

Xiang Yu (232 BC-202 BC), a famous strategist, was a representative of the "Brave School" at the end of Qin Dynasty, and was a hero with boundless strength and great pressure. Shortly after the uprising in Daze Township, Xiang Yu and his uncle Xiang Liang killed the chief in Huiji County and rebelled against Qin. After the Battle of Julu, the army entered the customs, and the five kings destroyed Qin, which caused great vibration at sea. When Qin died, he dominated the world and sealed the eighteen-way princes. Xiang Yu is not only outstanding in martial arts and verve, but also left a famous poem "Gaixia Song".

Sima Qian commented: "All major policies are formulated by feathers, and they are known as the overlord of the western Chu, which is equivalent to the power of the emperor. Although the position is not over, it has never been seen in recent times. " His appearance set off an earth-shattering storm for the history of China and wrote an immortal myth. In 202 BC, Xiang Yu was defeated by the allied forces of Liu Bang and various governors at Gaixia, and committed suicide at the age of 365,438+0 by the Wujiang River.

Yuji was one of the famous female figures in the late Qin Dynasty, and was called "Yu Meiren". Today's Shuyang County (Shuyang, belonging to Suqian City, Jiangsu Province, named after being located in the sun of the Shuhe River) is a native of Yanji Township, and it is said that it is a native of Tashi Village, Julie Town, Shaoxing County. According to the genealogy of Xiang family in Luling, Ji 'an, Jiangxi, Yu was born in Ding Chou (224 BC), died in Jihai (202 BC) and was buried in Pengcheng. Yu Ji is the favorite of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu. According to legend, she has a beautiful face, equal talent and beautiful dance.

He was always with Xiang Yu in the embattled predicament. Although Yu Ji's ending was not introduced in the history books, later generations inferred that she committed suicide in the Chu camp according to Gaixia Song written by Xiang Yu. From this, a beautiful myth of "Farewell My Concubine" was staged. Her story left an indelible mark in the long river of history and touched several generations. Yuji, this beautiful name, will be an immortal legend in our hearts.
