Describes a noble title. Or it can be said: Peace has an image, and a stable title means stable promotion. There is a couplet in Han Xin's tomb: "One confidant in life and death, two women in life and death." The "two women" refer to "Piao Mu" and Empress Lu. , "Piao Mu" gave rice to save Han Xin's life, but Empress Lu designed it and ruined Han Xin's life, so it is said that "two women live and die". The "one confidant" is Xiao He. Han Xin said, "Success is Xiao He, failure is Xiao He", which means the same thing as "life and death are close friends". Because of Xiao He's great eye for talents and his strong recommendation, Han Xin was able to realize his ambition, so Xiao He can be called Han Xin's confidant. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Han Xin joined the army under Xiang Yu, but was not reused. He switched to Liu Bang's command, but was still not reused. In anger, Han Xin ran away angrily, but Xiao He chased him back overnight, comforted him with kind words, and strongly recommended Liu Bang to be a general. Later, it turned out that Han Xin was indeed a talented general. He repeatedly performed extraordinary feats and was named the Marquis of Huaiyin. However, after Liu Bang became emperor, he suspected Han Xin. When Han Xin learned about it, he conspired with the Marquis of Xia Yang to rebel. Xiao He discovered this and lured him to Changle Palace, where he was beheaded by Empress Lu. Therefore, later generations said: [Success is Xiao He, defeat is Xiao He] The two women who survive and die refer to Piao Mu and Empress Lu respectively. Before Han Xin joined the army, he almost starved to death because of his poverty. Fortunately, he met a washerwoman who took him home and gave him food and shelter for more than ten days before he survived. After Han Xin was arrested for treason, he was killed by Empress Lu. His life and death depended on these two women. This is the meaning of "two women who live and die".
