Is Liu Bang a ground snake or a hooligan?
In this article, I will talk to you about this topic.
Liu Bang, a chivalrous man from the city well, later relied on his courage and ambition, and with the support of his friends Xiao He, Cao San, and others, he provoked the anti-Qin banner. In the end, he conquered the Qin capital Xianyang, unified the whole country, and established the Han Dynasty. Liu Bang thus became the founding emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, known in history as "
Henkel Zu
”。
Liu Bang was born in Fengyi, Pei County(
Present-day Feng County, Jiangsu
of an ordinary peasant family, father Liu Xuan (
tuān
), commonly known as "
Liu Taigong
”。 Mother Liu Mi, one housewife, Liu Bang in the brothers four, he ranked third. His parents were local honest farmers, because Liu Bang was idle when he was a child, delicious and lazy, and did not do the right thing, so his father looked down on this old third, and in his father's eyes, Liu Bang was a guy who did not become a tool.
It can be said that Liu Bang before the age of thirty was like an authentic hooligan, but Liu Bang was a man with great ambitions, although he was often ridiculed and looked down upon. However, Liu Bang has had a dream since he was a child, that is, he can one day become a superior person. The young Liu Bang did not like to read, nor did he like to work in the fields, he liked to make friends with some jianghu rangers, wandering around all day, just like this, in the city for nearly thirty years, Liu Bang still had no achievements at all. To put it bluntly, at best, Liu Bang would be just a jerk.
Liu Bang never helped his parents when he was a child, and he mixed with a bunch of street thieves, scoundrels, traders, butchers who killed pigs, and so on. With these people, after a long time, you say whether you can learn well, so Liu Bang is doing the business of stealing chickens and dogs, eating and drinking, and cheating and drinking all day.
Although Liu Bang's behavior is not bad, Liu Bang has had a chivalrous heart since he was a child, and he is broad-minded and helpful. Therefore, while Liu Bang was mixing his days, he also made friends with some local upper-class people. In particular, Liu Bang became acquainted with the erudite Zhang Liang, zhang Liang everyone knows, and later after the rise of Liu Bang, Zhang Liang has been following Liu Bang, is Liu Bang's right-hand man, the founding father of the Han Dynasty. Liu Bang can achieve great things, and it can be said that half of the credit is zhang Liang's.
Later, When Liu Taigong saw that it was not a matter for his son to eat and wait for death all day, he let Liu Bang serve in the service when he was out of service. Liu Bang originally liked to wander around, just in response to his thoughts, so he followed these people who were serving in the army to Xianyang. At that time, Xianyang was a big city, and Liu Bang's hometown was a world away, this time Liu Bang opened his eyes, and it was also this time that Liu Bang had the privilege of seeing the emperor Qin Shi Huang, the son of the dynasty.
Qin Shi Huang was out on a tour of the world passing by here, Liu Bang saw Qin Shi Huang sitting on a luxurious carriage in the distance, surrounded by thousands of people, the formation was simply majestic, too spectacular! Liu Bang looked at it with envy and jealousy, and even blurted out a sentence:
"The big husband should be like this!"
Unexpectedly, Liu Bang's words really came true after more than ten years, and Liu Bang really ascended the throne as emperor after unremitting efforts.
Since the moment he saw Qin Shi Huang, Liu Bang had the dream of achieving hegemony, so he was not willing to serve in servitude, so he secretly found an opportunity and ran back to his hometown, after returning to his hometown, Liu Bang finally had a chance when he was thirty years old, because he was also a little famous in the local, so he was promoted to be the pavilion chief of Surabaya Pavilion.
Although this position is not a big official, it is still quite powerful. It is mainly responsible for maintaining law and order, catching thieves, managing traffic, and receiving official errands. Although the official was not large, after all, this was an errand that could contact the officials of the prefectures and prefectures in various counties, so Liu Bang also got acquainted with Xiao He, Cao Shan, Xiahou Bao, and others at that time, and these people also played a backbone role in Liu Bang's later hegemony.
So to say that Liu Bang was once a ground snake or a hooligan, I personally feel that these two definitions are the same, basically all the way to the goods. This answer, say it out, don't believe it. It can be said that Liu Bang was indeed not a good cake before he made his debut, but it was such an inconspicuous city scoundrel who later founded the Han Dynasty and became the founding emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, which made people have to admire Liu Bang's superhuman ability.
