Historical records Xiang Yu-Pei Gong, Sima Qian of the Western Han Dynasty, rode from more than a hundred miles to see Wang Xiang and arrived at Hongmen. Xie Yue said, "I fought Qin with the general, Hebei with the general and Henan with the minister. But I couldn't get into the customs first, so I had to come here to see the general again. Today, there is a villain's words, so the general gave me a lesson. " Said: "This is what Pei Gong Sajima and Cao said; Why else would this book be here? Wang Xiang stayed with Pei Gong and drank on the same day. "。 Wang Xianghe and Xiang Bo sit in the east, and Yafu sits in the south. Father, Fan Zeng also. Pei Gong sat in the north, while Sean waited in the west. How many kings does Fan Zeng have, and how much jade does it deserve? To be third, Wang Moran should not. Fan Zengqi got up, went out, summoned Xiang Zhuang and said, "Your majesty is unbearable. If you want to live a long life, please dance the sword and kill Pei Gong. If not, if it is all, it will be captured. "Zhuang is a birthday girl. On his deathbed, he said, "Wang and Pei Gong are drinking, and the army is not happy. Please dance with a sword. " Wang Xiang said, "Say yes. "Zhuangzi sword, Xiang Bo sword. He often covers himself with his wings, and Zhuang is not allowed to fight.

So Sean went to the gate and saw Fan Kuai. Fan Kuai said,' What happened today?' Liang Dao:' It's urgent. Today, the sword dance in Xiang Zhuang often means Pei Gong. " "

The story of "Xiang Zhuang's sword-dancing aims at loyalty to the monarch" took place in the third year after the Chen She Uprising (206 BC).

After the Chen Sheng Uprising, Yun Qi responded from all over the country, including Xiang Yu's uncle Xiang Liang and farmer Liu Bang. After the failure of Chen Sheng, Sun Zixin, who was helped by Xiang Liang, became the king of Chu, and Liu Bang also took refuge in Xiang Liang. In 207 BC, when Xiang Liang died, Chu Huaiwang sent Xiang Yu to rescue the besieged Zhao and Liu Bangling to attack Hangu Pass. Before he left, Chu Huaiwang and the generals agreed that whoever entered the customs first would be named the king of Guanzhong.

Xiang Yu defeated Qin Jun in Julu (now Hebei) and wiped out Qin Jun's main force. At the same time, Liu Bang entered Wuguan from the south of the Yellow River, captured Xianyang, and Zi Ying, the king of Qin, surrendered. Liu bang made a pact with the local elders to abolish the harsh Qin law and prepare to be king in Guanzhong. Later, under the persuasion of the counselor, he withdrew from Xianyang and returned to the army, sending troops to guard Hangu Pass to prevent the vassal army from entering the pass. After Xiang Yu attacked Qin Jun, he heard that Liu Bang had left Xianyang. He was very angry, so he broke through Hangu Pass and went to Xinfeng Hong Men. At this time, Liu Bang's Sajima and Cao Wushang secretly sent someone to tell Xiang Yu that Liu Bang wanted to be king in Guanzhong. Xiang Yu was even more angry and decided to send troops to attack Liu Bang the next day. After Liu Bang learned this from Xiang Yu's uncle Xiang Bo, he persuaded Xiang Bo to promise to intercede in front of Xiang Yu, and Xiang Bo asked Liu Bang to come to Hong Men Xie Xiang Yu the next day.

At the Hongmen banquet, although there is no lack of food and wine, there are also hidden dangers. Xiang Yu's father, Fan Zeng, has always advocated killing Liu Bang. At the banquet, he repeatedly motioned for Xiang Yu to start, but Xiang Yu hesitated and silently refused. Fan Zengzhao invited Xiangzhuang to dance the sword for a banquet and took the opportunity to kill Liu Bang. Xiang Bo also drew his sword to protect Liu Bang and cover Liu Bang. This is the origin of "Xiang Zhuang's sword dance, aiming at Pei Gong".
