Historical allusions

It is said that in 206 B.C., Liu Bang was king of the southern Zheng State. Han Xin went to Nanzheng to take refuge with Liu Bang. Although Xiao he introduced him many times, Liu Bang didn't attach importance to Han Xin. Han Xin ran away sad.

He repeatedly stated his interests in reusing Han Xin in front of Liu Bang, so he convinced Liu Bang, saying: "choose a good day, set up a arena, and be polite." Worship Han Xin as a great general.

Han Xin, Shaoshi Xiang Yu, was not reused. He fled back to Liu Bang, but not reused. He fled to the fan River in Liuba county. He could not cross the river at night because of the rising water, and was recovered by Xiao He. Xiao he convinces Liu Bang to choose a good day, set up an arena, and worship Han Xin as a general.

Historical records

Han Xin is from Huaiyin. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the peasant uprising army and the old nobles of the six countries fought against the Qin Dynasty. Han Xin defected to Xiang Liang, who was defeated by Xiang Yu. In 206 B.C., Liu Bang was the king of the Han Dynasty, and his capital was Nanzheng. Han Xin defected to Liu Bang after he died in Chu and returned to Han. In the same year, Liu Bang adopted Xiao He's suggestion and worshipped Han Xin as a general. According to the biography of Huaiyin marquis in historical records, it is said that When Wang wanted to call on him to believe and worship, he said: "Wang Su is so rude. Today, he worships the general like calling the ears of children. This is why he believed and went. If the king wants to worship him, he can choose a good day, fast, set up a altar and have ceremony. Wang Xuzhi. All generals are happy, and everyone thinks that they have a great general. To pay homage to the great general is Han Xin, and the whole army is shocked. "

The "altar" here is what later generations call "the altar of worshiping generals". According to Hanzhong Fu Zhi: "baijiangtai is under the south city. It is said that Han Xin was the great general of Han Gao, and he built it to receive orders. The present site still exists. "

After paying homage to the generals, Han Xin led his troops to attack Wei, hold Zhao, surrender Yan, settle Qi and destroy Chu. He made great contributions to the Liu Han Dynasty and was named king of Chu. He, together with Xiao He and Zhang Liang, became the three heroes of Hanxing. In the sixth year of the Han Dynasty, Hanxin was accused of treason, and Liu Bang surrendered Hanxin as Marquis of Huaiyin. In the 11th year of the Han Dynasty, Han Xin was killed by Empress Lu Jijie.

A generation of heroes have long passed away, but this altar of worshipping generals is still alive. In 1938, Feng Yuxiang set up a stele at the Baijiang altar, which was engraved with the following words: "the three heroes of Gai Shixun's name are united, and their prestige on the altar is amazing." (the stele is now lost). After liberation, the people's government attached great importance to the protection of Baijiang altar and allocated special funds for maintenance.
