Editing Xiang Yu (section)

==Early life==
In his younger days, Xiang Yu was instructed in scholarly arts and swordsmanship but he did not manage to master what he was taught, and his uncle [[Xiang Liang]] was not very satisfied with him.<ref name="Shiji, Xiang Yu Benji" /> Xiang Yu said, "Books are only useful in helping me remember my name. Mastering swordsmanship allows me to face only one opponent, so it's not worth learning. I want to learn how to defeat thousands of enemies."<ref name="Shiji, Xiang Yu Benji" /> After hearing that, his uncle tried to teach him military strategy, but he stopped learning after he had grasped the main concepts. Xiang Liang was disappointed with his nephew, who showed no sign of motivation or apparent talent apart from his great strength, so he gave up and let Xiang Yu decide his own future.<ref name="Shiji, Xiang Yu Benji" /><ref name="China culture">{{Cite web |title=Xiang Yu - Famous Leader of Uprising in Ancient China |url=http://history.cultural-china.com/en/46History1919.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131014040947/http://history.cultural-china.com/en/46History1919.html |archive-date=October 14, 2013 |access-date=November 20, 2014 |publisher=Cultural China }}</ref>

When Xiang Yu grew older, Xiang Liang killed someone so they fled to the [[Wu (region)|Wu region]] to evade the authorities. Around the time, [[Qin Shi Huang]] was on an inspection tour in that area. As Xiang Yu and his uncle watched the emperor's procession pass by, Xiang Yu said, "I can replace him."<ref name="Shiji, Xiang Yu Benji" /> Shocked by what his nephew said, Xiang Liang immediately covered Xiang Yu's mouth with his hand. After this incident, Xiang Liang began to see his nephew in a different light.
