About
Zi Fang is the literary name of Zhang Liang, who served Liu Bang in his rise to becoming the first Han emperor in 206 BC. According to the Shi Ji, China’s first history, Zhang climbed Mount Ji Ming on the night before a decisive battle and played melodies from the enemy soldiers’ home province. The men got so homesick they deserted, and thus doomed their army to defeat.
