Attachment: Tian Heng, a native of Di County of Qi State (southeast of today's Gaoqing County, Shandong Province), was originally a noble of Qi State. After Chen Sheng's uprising, Tian Heng, along with his brothers Tian Dan and Tian Rong, took the opportunity to rebel against Qin and captured all the territory. After the fall of Qin in 206 AD, the Chu and Han quarreled. King Liu Bang of Han sent counselor Li Shiqi to persuade King Tian Guang of Qi and Prime Minister Tian Heng to unite Qi and Han against Chu. Just when the Qi State was having a "drinking party" and was neglecting military preparations, Han Xin, the only general, led his troops eastward, fell into Linzi, and defeated the Qi army. Tian Guang and Tian Heng thought they had been sold by Li Shi and cooked him to death. Later, they asked Chu for help. In the battle of Weishui, Han Xin defeated the Chu army and killed Chu general Long Qie and Qi Wang Tian Guang. Tian Heng then proclaimed himself king and led his remaining troops to fight in various battles. They were finally defeated by the Han general Guan Ying, so he had no choice but to lead more than 500 of his followers into the sea and hide on an island. After Liu Bang became emperor, he was deeply troubled by Tian Heng, so he sent an envoy to summon Tian Heng to Beijing, pardoned him for the crime of cooking Qi and eating him, and said: "When Tian Heng comes, the big one will be the king, and the small one will be the lord. Soon, he will be raised." They forced each other to kill Yan with additional troops. So Tian Heng took two guests to Luoyang. When they arrived at Yanshi Post Station 30 miles away from Luoyang, he said to the guests: "Hengshi and the King of Han Junan were orphans. Now the King of Han is the emperor, and Heng is the leader of the captives in the north." The shame is indeed great. My brother who is a cook is serving the Lord side by side with his younger brother. Even if he is afraid of the emperor's edict and dare not move, I am not ashamed of it! And the reason why your majesty wants to see me is just for one thing! Seeing my face, I have been running for thirty miles with my head cut off. It is still impressive to say that I have not yet been defeated." Then he cut his throat and died. The retainers held their heads and played to Liu Bang. Liu Bang sighed and said, "Hey! He started from commoners, and three brothers became kings. Isn't it not virtuous?" So he was buried with royal rites. After the burial, the two guests also committed suicide. Liu Bangfu sent envoys to the island to summon Tian Heng's subordinates. Upon hearing the news of Heng's death, 500 martyrs brandished their swords and died. Later generations felt his loyalty, collected his remains, buried them together on the top of the island, and erected a temple to commemorate them. Tianheng Island has beautiful mountains and clear waters and beautiful scenery. The tombs of Tianheng’s 500 martyrs have been preserved to this day and many beautiful and touching stories have been spread.
