More than 2000 years ago, a powerful dynasty appeared in the Central Plains, that is, the Qin Dynasty. Qin Shihuang was the monarch of Qin at the end of the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period. He annexed the remaining six countries and established Da Qin, which not only unified weights and measures, but also unified The characters also promoted the system of prefectures and counties in various places to help China enter the feudal society. In order to open up the frontiers and expand the territory, he also ordered Zhao Tuo to lead an army of 500,000 to go south, and finally obtained the Baiyue area, which is now Fujian, Guangxi, and Guangdong. , Hainan area.
But at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and Xiang Yu, a noble of Chu Kingdom, rose up against Qin. He called himself the overlord of Western Chu, and Xiang Yu was born with supernatural power. Not only did he fight very hard on the march, but also fight alone. No one can match it. History records: Yu is brave and unparalleled throughout the ages. There are many legends about Xiang Yu, the most classic of which is the overlord lifting the tripod. So how heavy is Xiang Yuju's tripod? Today I will tell you the answer.
In the last years of the Qin Dynasty, many rebels appeared in the world. After Xiang Yu rose up, in order to expand his strength, he united with Huan Chu to fight against the great cause of Qin, but Huan Chu was proud and he wanted to follow A hero, not just anyone can be recruited. He said to Xiang Yu: If you have the skills of 10,000 enemies, I will convince you. Now there is a big pot in my yard weighing a thousand jins. If you can lift it up, My troops will follow you.
Xiang Yu asked Huan Chu’s men to lift the tripod first, and the last four strong men were sweating profusely and could not shake the trip. Xiang Yu walked to the tripod and held the tripod with his hands. With a loud shout, Xiang Yu’s heavy cauldron was lifted aloft by Xiang Yu. Huan Chu admired the five-body cast to the ground, and promised to fight against Qin together with Xiang Yu. In fact, the Qin Dynasty’s unit of measurement is the same as ours. It's different now. Although Huan Chu said that the big tripod was weighing a thousand catties, it was actually not that much.
A large bronze tripod was unearthed near the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin. The top height is 61 cm, the outer diameter reaches 71 cm, and the weight reaches 210 kg. It seems to be about 420 kg now. , Xiang Yu will not lift a tripod of more than 500 jin. Although many modern people cannot do it, some weightlifters can lift more than 500 jin. However, Xiang Yu can lift a tripod of four to five hundred jin. In ancient times it was already very remarkable.
