“项王、项伯东向坐.亚父南向坐。亚父者,范增也。沛公北向坐,张良西向侍。”众所周知,这是《鸿门宴》中排的座次。那么,司马迁为什么不惜笔墨详细叙述各人的座次?原来,我国古代对座次很有讲究。室内的座位以朝东方向为尊,其次是朝南方向,再次是朝北和朝西。按说,刘邦是客人,理应居尊位。但当时,项羽在鸿门驻有四十万大军. “The Xiang Wang and Xiang Bodong are sitting. The Asian Father is sitting in the south. The father of the father and Fan Zengya. Pei Gong is sitting in the north and Zhang Liangxi is serving.” As we all know, this is the seat of the “Feast of the Banquet”. Then, why did Sima Qian not elaborate on the seats of each person? In the past, the ancient times in China were very particular about seats. The seats in the interior are respected in the east direction, followed by the south direction, and once again in the north and west direction. Assume that Liu Bang is a guest and deserves to be honored. But at the time, Xiang Yu had 400,000 troops stationed at Hongmen.
