Idioms and allusions

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Liu Bang, Xiang Yu and King Huai of Chu agreed that the one who conquered Xianyang first would be the king of Guanzhong. When Liu Bang first attacked Xianyang, Xiang Yu was very unhappy. When he entered the city, he killed the people and the king's son, who had surrendered. He set fire to Afang palace, plundered a lot of gold and silver, and prepared to return to Jiangdong. Some people ridicule the people of Chu as monkeys in hats.
