Counterattack to Become Emperor

Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Western Han Dynasty and an important founder of the Han nation and culture, was born in a commoner family in Peixian County at the end of the Warring States Period. In his early years, he was informal and open-minded. Although he was not as elegant as a Confucian scholar, he was well versed in the art of employing people. He went from being a commoner in the marketplace to dominating the world. His life trajectory and few works are engraved with the changes of the times and his personal mood. In his early years, he wandered around the countryside, seemingly idle, but he had great ambitions. He rose up in the troubled times of the late Qin Dynasty. With his characteristics of tolerance and tolerance, he recruited talented people such as Zhang Liang, Xiao He, and Han Xin. After many years of battles, he overthrew the Qin Dynasty, defeated Xiang Yu, and finally established the Han Dynasty in 202 BC, ending the divisions and wars since the end of the Qin Dynasty, and laying the foundation of the Han Dynasty for more than 400 years. After ascending to the throne, Liu Bang did little corvee, rested with the people, and stabilized the order of the world. His works handed down to later generations are a true portrayal of his mood at different stages of his life. The "Song of the Great Wind", written when Yingbu's rebellion was put down and he returned to his hometown, is a three-sentence poem that expresses the heroic spirit of conquering the world and the spirit of returning to his hometown. It also hides the worries of guarding the country and seeking talents, which is the ultimate expression of his emperor's mind. Throughout his life, Liu Bang went from being a commoner to becoming an emperor. He did not have any complicated prose, but wrote legends with his life and expressed his feelings with simple poems. His life journey was the first for a commoner to become emperor. His works have also become representatives of the simple style of writing in the Han Dynasty, and have both historical and literary value.
