范增 / Fan Zeng
Fan Zeng is [[XiangYu|项羽]]’s adviser in the episode’s reading of [[HongmenYan|《鸿门宴》]] in 164.古文的力量：请收下这份千年未变的深情、洞见和勇气. The source grants him strategic insight: he sees that [[LiuBang|刘邦]] is dangerous and wants Xiang Yu to remove him.
His failure is a political-handling failure. QinZong argues that Fan Zeng cannot move Xiang Yu because he does not manage pride, recognition, and the emotional situation; smashing the jade dipper and insulting Xiang Yu after the escape only deepens the gap between correct judgment and effective influence.
