Origin and Story of 大风之歌

In the early Western Han Dynasty, after Liu Bang had unified the realm, he toured the country and returned to his hometown, Pei County.

He hosted a grand banquet for his relatives and friends. During the feast, he struck a *zhú* (a zither-like instrument) and sang the "Song of the Great Wind": "A great wind rises, the clouds are flying. My power now extends across the seas, and I return to my old home. Where can I find brave warriors to guard the four corners of the land?"

Afterward, he declared Pei County his *tangmuyi* (a special fief), exempting it from taxes for generations.
