2. Analysis of the correlation between Xiang Yu and “Through the Wall”

| angle | parse |
|---|---|
| physical level | The ancient city wall was more than 10 meters thick and could not be penetrated by humans. |
| cultural symbol | The "wall" is a metaphor for the political dilemma that Xiang Yu failed to break through (such as the indecisiveness at the Hongmen Banquet) |
| comparison reference | Modern wall-traveling techniques are mostly magic or science fiction settings, and there was no such concept in ancient times. |
3. Modern interpretation of historical figures from the perspective of hot topics

1.Technical limitations:Xiang Yu's era lacked technological means, and no matter how high the force value was, it could not break through the laws of physics;
2.Character determinism:Just like the collapse of a star's personality, Xiang Yu's willfulness led to the failure of political "through the wall";
3.Propagation variation:Historical interpretations in the Internet age are often turned into entertainment (such as the "Xiang Yu passes through the wall" meme), reflecting the public's tendency to deconstruct authority.
4. Structured summary: What is Xiang Yu’s “wall”?
| Type of "Wall" | Specific performance | Reason for failure |
|---|---|---|
| military wall | The fortifications of Gaixia Siege | Insufficient troops and tactical errors |
| political wall | Difficulty integrating the forces of princes | lack of political wisdom |
| psychological wall | "I have no face to see Jiangdong's elders" | Excessive self-esteem leads to suicide |

2.Be wary of information walls:The misuse of technologies such as AI face-changing is just like the risk of "historical truth" being reconstructed;
