Ideas about Habitual Domains constitute the theoretical framework of the present study because they play a significant role in people’s life, and illuminate Xiang Yu’s rise and fall.Xiang Yu came from an aristocratic family. With his military talent and extraordinary courage, he became a powerful overlord. As the circuit patterns that dominated his Habitual Domains were impatient, bloody and destructive, Xiang Yu killed wounded enemies and innocent people brutally and indiscriminately.
