Five hundred subordinates on the island heard that Tian Heng was dead and all committed suicide.
Chinese Name: Tian Heng Nationality: Qi State Birthplace: Di County Date of Death: 202 BC Occupation: Qi King's major achievements: From Buyi, the reputation of Qi State as king was restored: he refused to be a vassal of Liu Bang and committed suicide. Brothers: Tian Xian and Tian Rong saved their lives, restored the state of Qi, cooked and killed Li Sheng, and fled to the island to protect their righteousness and not humiliate their country. Originally an aristocrat of Qi State. After the Chen Sheng Uprising, his brother Tian Yun rose up against Qin in Di (now southeast of gaoqing county, Shandong Province) and became the King of Qi. In the war with Qin Jun, Houtianfei was defeated. Tian Heng's younger brother, Tian Rong, established himself as the king of Qi and Tian Heng as the general, occupying all the land. Xiang Yu became a vassal after he was called the overlord of the place of Chu. Tian Rong was dissatisfied with Xiang Yu, because he didn't send troops to help Chu and didn't seal the king, so he contacted General Zhao Chen Yulai to oppose Chu. Xiang Yu was very angry when he heard the news, so he set out for the northern expedition to Qi. Tian Rong, the king of Qi, was defeated and fled to the plain, where people killed Tian Rong. Later, Xiang Yu burned the battlements of the capital of Qi to the ground and slaughtered them everywhere. The people of Qi couldn't stand it anymore, so they rallied against him. Tian Heng, his younger brother, collected thousands of scattered soldiers from Qi. But attacked Xiang Yu in Chengyang. At this time, Hanwang Liu Bang led the vassal's army to defeat the Chu army and enter Pengcheng. After hearing the news, Xiang Yu let go of the Qi army and went back to attack the Han soldiers in Pengcheng. Later, he confronted the Han army many times and was deadlocked in Xingyang. So, Tian Heng once again recovered the towns of Qi, and made Tian Guang, the son of Tian Rong, the king of Qi, and Tian Heng as the prime minister, arbitrarily ruling the state affairs. All political affairs, big or small, are decided by Tian Heng. Three years after cooking and killing Heng to pacify Qi, Liu Bang sent him to lobby Tian Guang and Prime Minister Tian Heng to submit to the Han Dynasty. Tian Heng thought it was feasible, so he lifted Qi's defense against the Han army. Han Xin, the general of Han Dynasty, originally led troops to March to Qi. At first, Qi sent Hua and troops to defend against the Han army. When the Han envoy arrived, he gave up the readiness to defend the city, let the soldiers drink, and sent envoys to make peace with the Han dynasty. However, after Zhao and Yan were pacified, Han Xin used Kuai Tong's plan to cross the river plain, suddenly attacked, defeated the garrison troops, and then attacked Linzi. Tian Guang, King of Qi, and Tian Heng, Prime Minister, were very angry when they saw the sudden appearance of the Han army. They thought they were betrayed by Li Shiqi and immediately cooked Li Shiqi. Tian Guang, King of Qi, fled to Gaomi to the east, and Tian Heng, Prime Minister, fled to Bo Yang. Tian Guang, the garrison commander, fled to Chengyang, and General Tian led the troops to Jiaodong. At this time, Chu sent Long Min to lead an army to save Qi, and Tian Guang and Long Min joined forces in Gaomi. Han generals Han Xin and Cao Can defeated Qi Chu in Gaomi, killed Long Qie, the king of Chu, and captured Tian Guang, the king of Qi. Han will continue to pursue Guan Ying and capture Tian Guang, the commander of Qi State. Guan Ying moved on and arrived in Bai Yang. When Tian Heng heard that Tian Guang, the king of Qi, died, he established himself as the king of Qi and turned to fight Guan Ying. After the victory, Tian Heng's army was defeated by Guan Ying. Tian Heng fled to Emperor Liang and returned to Peng Yue. At this time, the mercenaries beam, remain neutral between Chu and Han, both as Hanwang and as the king of Chu. After Han Xin killed Long Qie, the general of Chu, he ordered to March on Jiaodong, and Tian was defeated and killed in the battle. Han Xin also ordered Guan Ying to pursue Qi Jiangtian, and he was defeated in Qiancheng and killed. In this way, Han Xin pacified Qi, wrote to Liu Bang and asked him to be a fake king of Qi. Liu Bang was forced by the situation and made Han Xin king of Qi. After fleeing to the island for more than a year, Liu Bang wiped out Xiang Yu, and he became emperor on his own and made Peng Yue the king of Liang. Afraid of being killed, Tian Heng led more than 500 men to escape to the sea and live on an island (now Tian Heng Island, Jimo, Shandong). After hearing the news, Liu Bang thought that the Tian Heng brothers had pacified Qi, and most of the wise men of Qi were attached to him. Now let him live in the sea without collecting, I'm afraid there will be disaster in the future. So he sent messengers to forgive Tian Heng's sin and called him into the court. Tian Heng declined politely, saying, "I once cooked and killed messengers, but now I know that my brother Li Shang is a general in the Han Dynasty, so I dare not go to Beijing by a letter. Please allow me to be a civilian and stay on this island. " When the messenger came back to report, Liu Bang immediately wrote a letter to Li Shang of Wei, saying, "Tian Heng, king of Qi, is going to Beijing. Whoever dares to move his followers will be beheaded immediately! " Then an emissary was sent to inform Tian Heng of the emperor's instructions to Li Shang, and said, "If Tian Heng comes to Beijing, he can be crowned king at the maximum and Hou at the minimum;" If you don't come, send troops to kill it. " So Tian Heng and his two public guests took a post car to Luoyang. Abide by righteousness and honor in a place called corpse township (now shouyangshan Town, yanshi city City, Henan Province) thirty miles away from Luoyang, Tian Heng and others came to this post station on this day. Tian Heng said to the Chinese ambassador, "As a minister, you should take a new bath when you meet the son of heaven." So I settled down. Tian Heng said to the public, "I, Tian Heng and Hanwang, were orphans in the south at first. Now Hanwang is the son of heaven, and I, Tian Heng, have become conquered people. It is a great shame to serve him in the north. What's more, I cooked and killed Li Shiqi, and then served the same master side by side with his brother Li Shang. Even if he is afraid of the emperor's letters and dares not touch me, shouldn't I be ashamed in my heart? Besides, your majesty asked me to go to Beijing only for my sake. Now the emperor is in Luoyang, and now I have beheaded my head and galloped for 30 miles. My appearance has not changed, but I can still see my true face. " Later, Tian Heng faced the homeland of the East, worshipped the mountains and rivers, and sang: "Righteousness carries heaven, keeping promises, and life should be smooth!" Then he cut himself with a horizontal knife. He ordered two public servants to hold his head with their hands, followed the messenger to fly into the court and told Liu Bang. Liu Bang saw Tian Heng's head and said, "Oh dear! What a great man has such a trip! Starting from the common people, the three brothers have successively become kings. Isn't it a talent? " Liu bang couldn't help crying for him. Then Liu Bang worshipped Tian Heng's two public servants as teachers, and sent two thousand foot soldiers to bury Tian Heng at the funeral of the vassal. After Tian Heng was buried, two men dug a pit next to Tian Heng's grave, then committed suicide, fell into the pit and died with Tian Heng. Liu Bang was surprised when he heard that Tian Heng's public servants were all talented people. Liu Bang heard that Tian Heng's troops still had 500 people on the island, so he sent messengers to call them to Beijing. When five hundred guests heard that Tian Heng was dead, they all committed suicide on the island. Therefore, Tian Heng brothers are indeed people who can get the support of the wise. Character evaluation Liu Bang: "Hehe! From the cloth, the three brothers are more king, isn't it virtuous! " Sima Qian: "Heaven is high and noble, and the guests died of violence because of their desire for righteousness, which is not the most holy, so I am not listed. People who are good at drawing can't draw, so what? " Ban Gu: "Zhou is very bad. By the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the vassals were exhausted, but there were still many descendants of Yan, Huang, Tang and Yu. Qin destroyed the six countries, and the ancient heritage swept the floor. During the Chu and Han Dynasties, Hao Jie was king, and Wei Bao, Han Xin and Tian Yun were old countries, all of which perished one after another. Across the festival, guests are eager for righteousness, but they can't stand on their own feet. It's just one day! " Cheng Yu: "In the past, Tian Heng was the clan of Qi. According to a land thousands of miles away, there were once millions of people who lived alone with the southern princes. " Zhuge Liang: "Tian Heng, a strong man of Qi, still has his meaning." Sima Zhen: "On the occasion of Qin Xiang, the world is at war. 6. National Party, making heroes. Tianhao, the city is bustling. Chu sealed the king's holiday and broke it together. Brothers are mostly kings and talk on the island. " Han Yu: "I learned a lot about the world. I took a break, which was almost done by the master ... Since ancient times, the deceased has died, and the master has been wide-ranging, kneeling on his knees to recommend wine, and his soul seems to enjoy itself." Su Shi: "In the past, Tian Heng was left by Qi, and Emperor Gaozu explained Li's regret. He sent a special envoy to the island, saying that the older one was the king and the younger one was waiting for him. He can also kill himself by his own strength and refuse to humiliate Liu. Han Xin, the whole land, surrendered to the Han Dynasty, and could not die in the next place. People who have worked together since ancient times are heroes, used to chop people in troubled times and used to be suspicious in peace. It is better to die in Tian Heng Festival than to be punished by Han Xin. " Hong Mai: "Since the defeat of Tian Heng, I fled to the island. Emperor Gao sent an envoy to summon him, saying, "When you come here, the biggest one is king, and the smallest one is the back ear." Heng Sui and two guests are interested in Yang. When he approached the guest, he said,' Heng and Hanwang are called orphans in the south. Now Hanwang is the son of heaven, but Heng is a prisoner. It is shameful to handle things in the north!' That is, self-defeating Regardless of the rank of princes, he regarded death as death, so Han Zu cried and called him a saint, while Ban Gu thought he was a hero. Han retreated from his tomb and said,' The dead have been gone since ancient times, and your master has been Geng Guang. Its heroism is awe-inspiring and still exists today. Lu Bu was bound by Cao Cao, and when he died, he said,' Gong Ming's suffering is not excessive, so I will take it today. Make cloth ride, people will step, and the world is uncertain. "Fuck, kill it. The material of the cloth is not necessarily horizontal, but it should be humiliated and revenged. Therefore, Dongpo's poem said: "It is better to be poor in Bai Men and to hide the pommel horse in Cao Cao. You should laugh. Yuan Keli, the prefect of the Ming Dynasty, boarded Penglai Pavilion, and in the poem Looking Back at Penglai Pavilion, he praised: Qin Huang's trail has sunk, and Hanwu is hopeless. Five hundred people in Tian Heng are still disappointed. Yicheng Lu Zhonglian, candidly admit defeat. For thousands of years, we have been wholeheartedly, and when we feel it, we feel noble. In the Ming Dynasty, Cheng of Jimo County wrote one of the seven laws of "hanging 500 righteous men": the mountains are vast and the water is boundless, and he wants to find his first grandson. The poor island is still ambiguous, and the Han court does not allow the king to surrender. Broken monuments grow moss, and ancient temples are deserted. I know that the spirit flag is alive, and the wind gets up early at dusk. Chen Tingjing, a historian in Qing Dynasty, praised Tian Heng in Six Hanshu: Tian Heng can be a scholar, and his age is long. Here comes the king, here comes the little one, just wait. Generous 500 people, not with Han and Peng Long. If you are rich and unhappy, ask for it. Today, on the sea, the wind stirs up a clear stream. Tang Geng passed Tian Heng's tomb in Song Dynasty, Tian Heng's tomb in Chen Qi in Yuan Dynasty and Tian Heng's tomb in Tian Heng's tomb in Qing Dynasty, which is located under shouyangshan, yanshi city, Henan Province, with only one tombstone. Shouyangshan Power Plant was razed during construction. In Jimo, Shandong Province, there is a tomb of 500 Tian Heng warriors, which was designated as a designated cultural relic by Qingdao * * * on 1982. In the same year, jimo city built the Tian Heng Monument Pavilion on the north side of the tomb, which was inscribed by famous calligraphers Li Shiyuan and Xiu De. Behind the memorial building of later generations, in order to commemorate Tian Heng, a tomb tree monument was built in Yanshi; The island where more than 500 brave people committed suicide was called Tian Heng Island, and tombs and shrines were built. Penglai has Tian Hengshan and Tian Hengzhai; Tian Heng's tomb was also built in Gaoyuan County. The indomitable spirit of artistic Tian Heng and five hundred righteous men is praised by later generations, especially their care during the period of war or national peril, which has become an example to inspire loyal and righteous opponents. In the Tang Dynasty, Han Yu wrote an article "Sacrificing to Tian Heng's Tomb". Zheng Chenggong said in the poem "Returning to Taiwan": "There are still 3,000 guests in Tianheng, and it is difficult to leave between hardships"; Gong Zizhen wrote in the poem "Ode to History": "There are 500 people in Tian Heng who live in peace? Do not return to Baihou "; During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, Xu Beihong spent two years painting a huge oil painting, Tian Heng 500 Strong Men. Xu Beihong's "Tian Heng 500 Heroes" Festival Tian Heng Festival originated in ewald Village, Tian Heng Town, and has a history of more than 500 years. In 2008, Tian Heng Sea Festival was included in the second batch of national intangible cultural heritage list and won the "Best Public Participation Award" of the first China Festival.
