"The sword is cold, the strength of the mountain is strong, and the qi covers the Central Plains..." The Chu King is worthy of a generation of tyrants, but after the Feast of the Hongmen Gate, xiang Yu fled to wujiang, killed himself, the overlord Bieji was lamentable, and the hero died. There is no reference to whether Xiang Yu had descendants or not in the "Records of History", but there is a family of 100 people in a small mountain village in Zhejiang, which is surnamed Xiang and claims to be the 75th generation of Xiang Yu's descendants. Speaking of this, we can't help but ask: "Isn't Xiang Yu only a concubine of Yu Ji?" Is the fact that Xiang Yu has a large number of wives and concubines? If there really was a child, why didn't Liu Bang hunt him down? Yu Ji did not commit suicide for Xiang Yu to give birth to a son and a half daughter. The love story of Xiang Yu and Yu Ji circulated in folklore, I think everyone should be familiar with it.
Yu Ji was born with the appearance of a country, she was Xiang Yu's concubine, and accompanied Xiang Yu everywhere to fight, it can be seen that Xiang Yu should be very fond of Yu Ji, and the possibility of having an illegitimate child is not very likely. However, the people of the mountain village have ancestral genealogies as evidence to prove that they are descendants of Xiang Yu. According to Xiang Haijin, a highly respected person in the mountain village, according to the genealogy, the people in the mountain village are indeed the descendants of Xiang Yu, and they have been going on for more than a thousand years.
According to the understanding, Xiang Yu was already 24 years old at the time of the uprising, and he was also in his early 30s when Wujiang killed himself. We all know that in ancient China, early marriage and early childbearing, it is more common to have children in their teens, and the possibility of all Xiang Yu having married and having children before Yu Ji is very large. Xiang Yu actually had a wife before Yu Ji. Xiang Yu, like many other kings, also had a large number of wives and concubines, but in later folk operas, legends and film and television works, the love story of Xiang Yu and Yu Ji was spread too much, so that we subconsciously thought that Xiang Yu only had one concubine room. "Ji" is the meaning of "concubine" later, Yu Ji is only one of Xiang Yu's concubines, her appearance is more outstanding, deeply loved by Xiang Yu, but more favored than others.
Chen Ping said when he met Liu Bang, there are "Kundi of non-zhuxiang that is, wife", "Kundi of wife" means his wife's younger brother, from Chen Ping's words, we can know that Xiang Yu has a wife. Xiang Yu's wife had given birth to a son for Xiang Yu, whose son was named Xiang Long, after Xiang Yu's army was defeated, and after Wujiang killed himself, Liu Bang pursued and killed Xiang Yu's descendants, and Xiang Long fled to Zhejiang to avoid being pursued and killed, and settled here. In addition, in the Song Dynasty, Zhu Xi had investigated Xiang Yu's descendants, and wrote a "Xiang Clan Reconstruction Genealogy" for this purpose, so according to these clues in history, it can be seen that Xiang Yu's bloodline has not been broken, which is enough to prove that Xiang Yu's descendants do exist.
The descendants of Xiang Yu here are also constantly dispersing outward with the passage of time. In any case, Xiang Yu did have a son who fled and settled in the Zhejiang region and bred here, and his bloodline continues to this day.
