Idioms about war

The Battle of Julu in 206 BC, when Xiang Yu defeated Zhang Han. This war had two meanings: First, it destroyed the Qin army The main force, the peasant army, took the initiative in the war; second, Xiang Yu rose from a general to the commander of the coalition forces, and the war began to gradually transform from the battle to destroy Qin to the Chu-Han War.

The idiom "rise up" comes from Jia Yi of the Western Han Dynasty "On Passing the Qin", which tells the story of the peasant uprising led by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang at the end of the Qin Dynasty.

In July 209 BC, the local official of Yangcheng (now southeast of Dengfeng, Henan) sent two A police officer escorted nine hundred poor men. Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and his party rushed north without any delay. According to the law of the Qin Dynasty, if the date was delayed, the head would be beheaded. However, they had just walked a few days When we arrived in Daze Township (now southwest of Su County, Anhui), it was raining heavily, so we had to camp and wait until the weather cleared before leaving. The rain kept falling, and seeing that the date was delayed, Chen Sheng discussed with Wu Guang and said: "Even if we leave and miss the date, we will die; if we escape and are caught by the government, we will die. Anyway, it is death, so it is better for us to rebel together, overthrow Qin II, and eliminate harm for the people."

Wu Guang is also a knowledgeable man. He agreed with Chen Sheng's opinion and agreed to use the names of Prince Fusu, who was killed by Qin II, and Xiang Yan, the former general of Chu State (Xiang Yu's grandfather), who was deeply supported by the masses. , to call on the world to attack Qin II.

So Chen Sheng and Wu Guang took a few of their henchmen to first chop the two officers to death, and then held up their heads to explain to everyone what was wrong. Those who rebel against justice will die in vain. These hundreds of people suddenly expressed their willingness to risk their lives and follow Chen Sheng and Wu Guang. They cut down trees as weapons, held high bamboo poles as flags, and swore to heaven to work together to overthrow Qin. The second generation, he avenged the Chu general Xiang Yan. Everyone also elected Chen Sheng and Wu Guang as their leaders, and immediately occupied Daze Township. When the farmers in Daze Township heard that Chen Sheng and Wu Guang had risen to resist the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty, the young people all took hoes. , iron rakes, poles, and wooden sticks came to the camp to surrender to the army.

People simplified "cutting wood into soldiers and raising poles into flags" into the idiom "raising poles and rising up", which is a metaphor for holding high the flag of righteousness and rising up to resist. More general Refers to the people's uprising.
