Tomb of Consort Yu

In 202 B.C., War between Chu and Han had a decisive battle in Gaixia.Xiang Yu, a general of early Western Han dynasty had a small number of soldiers and was in trouble during the battle, besieged and encircled on all sides. Xiang Yu drank in the night, facing his beloved Concubine Yu and his horse Wu Zhui. He chanted in a heroic but mournful tone, "I used to have powerful forces, but they have all gone. The situation does not favor me, and my golden opportunity to conquer Han has gone and is never to return. How sad it is!” Xiang Yu felt distressed and wept. Concubine Yu knew that military situation had changed, and mourned for the hopeless situation.
