Zhang Liang was an outstanding strategist in the late Qin and early Han dynasties, and was known as the "Three Masters of the Early Han Dynasty" along with Han Xin and Xiao He.
Zhang Liang's ancestors were the prime minister of the fifth dynasty of Korea, and he once scattered all his wealth to assassinate the king of Qin. During the peasant uprising at the end of Qin, he gathered people to return to Liu Bang, gave advice to Liu Bang, and assisted Liu Bang to enter Guanzhong. In the Chu-Han War, he proposed not to establish the descendants of the Six Kingdoms, to unite Yingbu and Peng Yue, and to reuse Han Xin, and advocated pursuing Xiang Yu and annihilating the Chu army, laying a solid foundation for Liu Bang to complete the great cause of unification.
After Liu Bang became emperor, Zhang Liang helped Liu Ying, the son of Empress Lu, become the crown prince. He did not cherish the position of power, and in his later years, he followed the red pine nuts to travel all over the world. After Zhang Liang died, he was nicknamed Wencheng.
Zhang Liang's choice to retire and stay away from the political whirlpool was a wise move he made in the historical context of the time.
。 After Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty, he began to liquidate the heroes, and Han Xin, Peng Yue and other founding heroes were killed one after another. As Liu Bang's important adviser, Zhang Liang knew his status in Liu Bang's mind, and also knew that if he continued to stay in the court, he would likely be suspicious and suppressed by Liu Bang.
In ancient China, political struggles often involved the entire family, and if Zhang Liang had remained in the court, his family might have been persecuted.
。 Zhang Liang was a very wise and far-sighted man, and he knew that if he continued to stay in the DPRK, he might fall into the political whirlpool and lose his freedom and dignity.
Therefore, Zhang Liang's choice to retire and stay away from the political whirlpool was a wise move he made in the historical context at that time. His choice not only protected the safety of himself and his family, but also earned him a good reputation and historical status.
