项羽“二十八骑”突围考

The breakthrough of Xiang Yu's “28 Cavalrymen”

《史记·项羽本纪》是司马迁用心良苦撰写的重要篇章,有着太多的情感投入。垓下会战是楚汉之间的关键性决战,尤其是项羽乌江自刎,成为轰轰烈烈一生的最后亮点。作为细节描述,司马迁笔下的项羽二十八骑在四隤山突围,堪称千古绝唱。遗憾的是考古发现证明此段记载出自文学创作,不能作为历史事实。但就其内涵而言,司马迁特意安排二十八骑以对应"二十八宿环北辰",紧紧围绕着北斗项羽,同生死共命运,是天人之际的具体反映,当引起我们足够的关注。

The Biography of Xiang Yu in Historical Records is an important chapter of Sima Qian＇ s well-intentioned writing, with too much emotional input. The Battle of Gaixia is the key decisive battle between Chu and Han, especially Xiang Yu in Wujiang River suicide, becoming a vigorous life of the last bright spot. As a detail description, 28 cavalrymen in the Situi mountains break-through can be called an unparalleled masterpiece. Regrettably, archaeological discoveries prove that this record is from literary crea-tion and cannot be used as historical facts. But in terms of its connotation, Sima Qian specially arranging 28 cavalrymen to corre-spond to “28 of the central North Star” , tightly around the Big Dipper and Xiang Yu, with the fate of life and death, as the concrete reflection of the thought of “ Between Human and Heaven” , would arouse our attention.
