Which historical figure is the story of Yu Meiren related to?
The story of Yu Meiren was related to Xiang Yu in history. Xiang Yu was a famous military general and politician during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. He was one of the representatives of the Chu and Han wars after the fall of the Qin Dynasty. During the Chu-Han War, Xiang Yu led the Chu army to defeat the Han army many times and finally overthrew the Qin Dynasty and established the Han Dynasty. It was said that in ancient wars, many armies hoped to have trophies like the jade beauty. During the Chu Han War, Xiang Yu had once occupied a castle called Yu, so Yu beauties had become Xiang Yu's symbol. When Xiang Yu was besieged by Liu Bang and committed suicide on the Wu River, he still missed his lover, Yu Meiren. It was said that he sang a song called "Song of Gaixia", which had a line: "The halberd sank into the sand and the iron was not destroyed, so I will grind it to recognize the previous dynasty." If the east wind doesn't go with Zhou Lang, then the bronze sparrow will lock the two Qiao in the depths of spring." In this poem,'Copper Sparrow Locking Two Qiao in the Deep Spring' was a description of the love between Xiang Yu and Yu Meiren. Therefore, the story of Yu Meiren was often used to describe a kind of deep love, and Xiang Yu became the symbol of this kind of love.
