『Records of Chu and Han』 is an epic poem that covers the period from the end of the Warring States period to the reign of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor to unify China, and his second successor, Emperor Huhai, through the fall of the Qin Dynasty and the rise of Xiang Yu as the overlord of Western Chu, and the process by which Liu Bang defeats Xiang Yu and unifies China.
In this process, it shows how numerous heroes, centered around Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, handled the chaotic times. Unlike Xiang Yu, who was from a noble family, Liu Bang, who was from a commoner background and had nothing to boast about, placed talented people like Han Xin, Zhang Liang, and Xiao He in the right positions, demonstrating outstanding leadership and tolerance.
The epic tale of heroes who rose up to save the world in times of chaos, the irony of history that repeats itself in the process, and the methods of utilizing talented people can all be seen in one volume of 『Chosun and Han Chronicles』.

Yeo Buwi, who had tidied up his demeanor, paid respect to the King of Jin and slowly drank the liquor.
Wouldn't it be impossible for a father to be beheaded by his own son?
A world-class merchant must know how to value people more than gold and silver treasures.
Even at the moment of his death, Yeo Buwi felt as if the years that had passed had been like walking through a field of flowers.

The Empress Dowager was buried in the tomb of King Zhangxiang nine years after the death of Lü Buwei.

Jin carried out extremely harsh politics.
The people were dragged out to do large-scale construction work, and they were unable to farm properly, so people starved to death everywhere.
