What's the story of Han Xin's crotch drill?

Han Xin lost his parents when he was very young. He earns his living mainly by fishing. He was often helped by an old woman who rinsed silk cotton, and was repeatedly discriminated against and left out by people around him. On one occasion, a group of hooligans humiliated Han Xin in public. A butcher said to Han Xin: Although you are tall and big and like to carry a sword with you, you are actually very timid. Dare you stab me with your sword? If you don't dare, hide under my crotch. Han Xin knew that he was alone, and recklessly would certainly suffer. So, in front of many onlookers, I got the butcher's crotch. History books call it "the humiliation of stepping down."

It is recorded in the history books that the young people in Huaiyin massacre have insulted their faith. Yue, you can wear a sword when you grow up, but you are afraid of your ears. People insult them, saying that faith can die and stab me; I can't die. Get out of my pants. So the letter became familiar, and I lay under my pants. Everyone in the city laughed at the letter and thought it was timid.

There are several explanations for the humiliation of old Huai 'an crotch:

There is a saying that Han Xin had two hobbies when he was young, one was fishing and the other was sword dancing. A local butcher wanted his sword, but he didn't give it to him. The butcher told him to get under his crotch.

The second theory is that the drifting mother who often helps Han Xin is ill. In order to get some meat for the wandering mother, Han Xin went to the butcher to buy meat on credit, and the butcher asked him to take it to his crotch.

There is also a saying that Han Xin was forced by life and stole the butcher's meat. The butcher said I don't want you to wear my crotch. After I became a general in Han Xin, I went to see the butcher. Not only did I not retaliate against him, but I also made him a lieutenant.

Han Xin later said, I am not afraid of him, but there is no reason to kill him. If I killed him, I wouldn't be where I am today.
