What is the zodiac sign of Xiang Yu, the overlord of the western Chu Dynasty?

Xiang Yu, the overlord of the Western Chu Dynasty, belongs to what zodiac sign?

Xiang Yu has always been a controversial figure in ancient China. However, there are not many records about his date of birth, so there is no specific standard answer about what zodiac Xiang Yu is. Experts can only speculate through limited historical materials. According to historical records, Xiang Yu was born in 232 BC and his ancestral home is Suqian, Jiangsu. According to the current zodiac calculation method, Xiang Yu should have two zodiac signs. He may be a dragon or a rabbit.

There are two answers to the question of what is Xiang Yu's zodiac, because the current calculation method of the zodiac is based on the traditional calendar year in China, but there is no clear stipulation about the New Year in the ancient calendar, so if Xiang Yu was born before the ancient New Year in 232 BC, then he should belong to the rabbit, and if he was born after the ancient New Year in 232 BC, then he belongs to the dragon.

Therefore, the question of what zodiac is Xiang Yu depends on the date of birth of Xiang Yu. Historians have specially studied Xiang's genealogy, and found that Xiang Yu was born in 165438+ October, which was winter and had no New Year. Therefore, experts believe that Xiang Yu was born before the ancient New Year in 232 BC, and he may be a rabbit.

There are some introductions to Xiang Yu in later generations, thinking that Xiang Yu may belong to the dragon. This statement is mainly based on the fact that Xiang Yu's personality is very consistent with the characteristics of people who belong to dragons and is very brave. It turns out that most people who are dragons are really brave, but you can't judge Xiang Yu's zodiac only by his personality. If you look at Xiang Yu's real birth time, he may be a rabbit. Now this statement is also accepted by most experts.
