Origin and Story of 羞与哙伍
After Liu Bang established the Western Han Dynasty, he enfeoffed Fan Kuai, who had distinguished himself at the Hongmen Banquet, as the "Marquis of Wuyang".
Fearing that the Grand General Han Xin would wield too much power, Liu Bang first stripped him of his military authority and made him King of Chu, then demoted him to Marquis of Huaiyin.
One day, as Han Xin passed by Fan Kuai's gate, Fan Kuai knelt to greet him.
Afterward, Han Xin regretted and felt ashamed to have associated with someone like Fan Kuai.
