Lot 67霸王自缢
中平人虽勇力不能当
莫恃英雄独冠场
可挟泰山超北海
身心犹贵重存亡
Basic reading
AI-assisted readingThe poem in plain language
The poem praises unmatched strength, then warns against relying on it to stand above everyone. Even carrying a mountain across the sea is outweighed by care for body, mind, and life, turning heroic exaggeration toward self-preservation.
The central idea
This lot places life and wellbeing above a display of strength. It does not glorify self-destruction or a fatal defense of reputation; stepping back, accepting company, or changing direction can preserve dignity beyond a single contest.
