In fact, in the Three Kingdoms era, we value appearance more than we think, and a man who looks good is a big plus for his politics.
The best example is Yuan Shao. The history books record that Yuan Shao was strong and mighty, that is to say, Yuan Shao was tall and majestic, and he entered the court as an official at the age of twenty, which was simply a rich and handsome man, so the heroes and celebrities in the world were confused by his dazzling family background, appearance and temperament, and rushed to throw themselves into his disciples and worship him as the lord of the Dong League. So much so that his brother-in-law Yuan Shu was very jealous, and he hated and said, "The group does not follow me, but slaves from my family." "It means that these stinky boys don't even mix with me, but with my lowly slaves, and they are angry!"
And it is precisely because Yuan Shao has benefited from his appearance, so he also has a bias in the selection of successors, according to the theory, he should pass the seat to his eldest son Yuan Tan, but his third son Yuan Shangzi is beautiful and looks more handsome than his father, and the position of the old handsome brother is of course passed to the little handsome brother, so Yuan Shao wants to abolish Chang Li young, resulting in his second son fighting for power after his death, and the powerful Hebei Yuan clan instantly fell apart.
Yuan Shao's father and son are so good-looking, "short-looking" Cao Cao does not say in his mouth, his heart should be very envious, so whether he picks his subordinates or chooses a successor, he is inadvertently looking for something good. For example, his youngest son Cao Chong, who has a beautiful appearance, is better looking than his brothers, plus he is smart and benevolent, so Cao Cao also wants to abolish Chang Liyou and pass the seat to him, but unfortunately Cao Chong died early. Later, Cao Cao fell in love with one of his grandsons, Cao Rui, although the child was still young, but "considerable, talented, standing on the ground", not only the appearance is very outstanding, and a hair can hang on the ground, it is simply too immortal! After all, it is the son of Zhen Ji, the first beautiful woman in the State of Wei, and her genetics are too strong. Therefore, Cao Cao once said to Xiao Cao Rui, "I am based on Er III. "It means that with you and my third inheritance, we can rest assured." It seems that Cao Cao finally chose Cao Pi as his son, and there are also extra points for Cao Pi's son Cao Rui.

Cao Cao chose his successor to look at his appearance, and so did he choose his strategists. Chief Strategist Xun Yu was a magnificent and beautiful man, a man who liked incense, but people did not feel violated at all; another strategist, Cheng Yu, was eight feet and three inches tall, 1 meter and ninety-six, with beautiful beard, and was a tall and mighty shandong man with a long beard, almost the same as Guan Yu. There was also Cao Cao's father-in-law Cui Yan, whom Cao Cao had found for his son Cao Zhi, with a high voice, a sparse eyebrow, a beard of four feet, and even awe, Cao Cao was in awe of his beauty, and the Xiongnu emissaries came and asked him to pretend to be himself.
In addition, Cao Cao also had a stepson He Yan who was also very good-looking, and the history books said that he was handsome and handsome, his face was like powder, not only his face was handsome, but his face was delicate and white, just like powder. Although the Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rui had hair, he was also jealous of his uncle's beauty and doubted whether he had really put on makeup, so he summoned him to the palace one summer and invited him to eat hot noodle soup. After a while, he was sweating profusely and had to wipe his sweat with the clothes he was wearing. But after he wiped his sweat, his face looked even whiter, and Cao Rui believed that he did not apply powder.
He Yan looks so good, Cao Cao of course likes him very much, eating, using, and wearing are no different from the Cao Pi brothers, the history books record that Cao Pi was also jealous of this for a lifetime, every time he saw He Yan did not call his name, but called him a "fake son", and in the end during his tenure and his son Cao Rui, did not reuse He Yan, resulting in He Yan a little cynical, began to be keen on gathering drugs (it is said that "five stones scatter" is his invention), and finally became the originator of metaphysics, opening the Wei and Jin Dynasties to talk about the first decadence of nothing.
The handsome men on Cao Wei's side are almost like this, and the handsome men in Eastern Wu are three "langs", Sun Lang Sun Ce, Zhou Lang Zhou Yu, and Lu Lang Lu Xun. "Lang" means handsome in the Eastern Wu dialect. Among them, Sun Ce's handsome brother Sun Ce, the history books record that he was "beautiful, funny, sexually broad-minded, good at using people, is a scholar and a people, not exhausted, happy to die", "the people smell Sun Langzhi, all lose their souls", which means that Sun Ce has a beautiful face, loves to laugh, also smiles very well, and has a good-looking temperament, and his temperament is open-minded and kind, so there is no one who sees him who is not lost by him, so he screams, faints, and rushes to send cattle and wine to the labor army, and is devoted to him and is willing to die for him. Michael Jackson of the twentieth century was no different.
The second Zhou Yu Zhou handsome brother, "long and strong and posture", long and strong, mighty and mighty, so Qiao Guolao married his two daughters to Sun Ce and Zhou Yu respectively. That is to say, the two most beautiful beauties in Jiangdong married the two most handsome men in Jiangdong, which became a good story throughout the ages. Unfortunately, Sun Ce was later assassinated when he traveled, injuring his face, and the doctor warned him to take care of himself and not to move for a hundred days. Sun Ce looked at the broken face in the mirror and said, "With such a face, can we still restore the merits of the building?" So he kept slapping the table in grief, causing the wound to crack and bleed and die.
There are three handsome men in Eastern Wu, and there are also three in Shu Han. Guan Yu is known as the Duke of Beautiful Hair, Yi Lun is superior; Zhao Yun is eight feet long and has a majestic posture; Zhuge Liang is eight feet long, his appearance is very great, and he is different at the time. Eight feet is one meter eighty-five, it seems that the two are majestic northern hans, not He Yan such a small white-faced small fresh meat type, everyone has to change their concepts.
On the contrary, Liu Bei may have been a small white face, and it is said in the "Three Kingdoms Chronicle of Zhou Qun" that Liu Zhang's subordinate named Zhang Yu once publicly ridiculed Liu Bei for not having a beard, and Liu Bei later defeated Liu Zhang and entered Yizhou, so he found an excuse to kill Zhang Yu.
It seems that Liu Bei is also a face value control, very important to appearance, such as his favorite Mrs. Gan on jade soft muscles, skin like gelatin, beautiful and beautiful, such as snow under the moon. Someone sent a jade beauty to Liu Bei, Liu Bei loved it very much, but everyone found that Lady Nagan's skin was as white and moist as the white jade beauty, and they couldn't tell which one was a real person and which was a jade person.

It can be seen that Lady Gan's son Liu Chan must also be a big handsome man, and Liu Chan in the film and television drama is uglier than one, and although Ah Dou is not outstanding, he will not look obscene and almost stupid, which is also a deeply misunderstood historical figure.
