How to treat Han Xin's leg humiliation? Wisdom or cowardice?

Han Xin was cheated and humiliated for two main reasons, neither wisdom nor cowardice.

Let's review the scene at that time.

In the Huaiyin tragedy, a teenager insulted the letter and said, "When you grow up, you should wear a sword, but you are afraid of your ears." The humiliation of the people said, "faith can die and stab me;" Can't die, come out from me. " So this letter depends on it, which is embarrassing. Everyone in the city laughed at the letter and thought it was timid.

The boy comes from a butcher family. Butcher is a relatively humble industry. For example, when Han Xin was later placed under house arrest by Liu Bang in Chang 'an, Fan Kuai called him Wang when he saw him. As a result, Han Xin said how I ended up dating someone like Fan Kuai. Thus, Han Xin is very disdainful of butchers. Fan Kuai is a butcher.

This teenager said that you are actually a coward, and then further stimulated Han Xin. If you are not afraid of stabbing me, if you are afraid of death, you will cross my crotch.

Han Xin's passing through his crotch is a famous humiliation. Why can't ordinary people stand it? Why can't Han Xin stand it?

First, the situation in Han Xin at that time.

Han Xin is not a celebrity, although he considers himself a scholar and a nobleman. People in Han Xin don't think so. They think that Han Xin is just a joke, a man who holds a sword all day, then doesn't work and eats everywhere.

When I started making cloth, I was poor and had no business. I can't choose to be an official, and I can't cure businessmen. I often send food and drinks from people, and many people are tired of it.

In other words, it is not the first time that Han Xin has been insulted, whether in words or eyes or actions. Everyone hates Han Xin.

Han Xin is a joke in everyone's eyes. Then he was humiliated by his crotch and added another joke. If Han Xin had been a scholar and a butcher, he wouldn't have gone to drill.

Whether he can drill or not has no effect on his reputation. He will definitely stab it with a sword, and it is impossible to drill it again.

Second, Han Xin disdains Han Xin's understanding in this life is seeking fame. As for being humiliated by his legs, it's nothing compared with his fame. If a sword goes out, he commits a crime and his reputation becomes empty.

So it is not wisdom or cowardice, but desire.

Why did Han Xin run from Xiang Yu to Liu Bang? Because it has not been reused, it can't get fame. Why did he run away from Liu Bang later? The reason is still not reused.

Han Xin didn't run away until Xiao He chased him at night and Liu reused him.

Later, Kuai Tong told him that if you use eloquence, you can win 70 cities. You have won more than 50 cities by working so hard. Might as well use it. As a result, Han Xin suddenly attacked the State of Qi, causing Shili to be cooked and killed.

Therefore, in the face of fame, Han Xin can give up everything, but also become short-sighted. For example, when Liu Bang was in trouble, he didn't help, but let Liu Bang seal himself as an agent.

Conclusion:

In our opinion, the humiliation of legs is unbearable, because it is an insult and a loss of face. China people have a good face, but it is better not to live if they lose face. This is from our point of view, but from Han Xin's point of view, I have no face. How can you lose face? So Han Xin didn't leave any psychological pressure in his heart.

We can't do it because we don't have Han Xin's great ambition and Han Xin's poor social evaluation. If this is also the case in Han Xin, Han Xin is not the only one who can do it. This has nothing to do with Han Xin's military ability.
