Idioms and allusions

According to historical records, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, was advised to make Guanzhong his capital after he conquered Xianyang, but Xiang Yu had a strong sense of local culture. He said: "wealth does not return to his hometown, just like a night's journey in embroidered clothes. Who knows!" later generations extended the idea of "night's journey in splendid clothes", and gradually came up with the idea that brocade should return to his hometown. Liu Bang's besieged on all sides has shaken Xiang Yu's morale. The soldiers cried bitterly. At the beginning, Xiang Yu lost the chance to defeat Xianyang first in order to attack Qin Dynasty; then he lost the chance to kill Liu Bang at Hongmen banquet because he couldn't bear to; and finally he went east because he wanted to collect the goods after burning Afang palace. at that time, a wise man suggested that he establish the capital of Qin and become king. In the face of the ruins of the Qin palace, Xiang Yu wanted to go back to his hometown. He also said: wealth does not go back to his hometown, just like traveling at night, who knows. This point to the point of the way out of Xiang Yu's return home, rongzu Yaozong concept. As the saying goes: a good man is ambitious. Although Xiang Yu has the traditional ideas of the ancient Chinese, he has the ambition to be emperor. In his eight years of bloody struggle, he has always been a lonely tragic hero. On the one hand, Xiang Yu wants to be an emperor, on the other hand, he wants to be a hero that everyone envies. He also wanted to be famous in front of his fellow villagers. All these have become obstacles for him to become an emperor.
