Take history as a mirror, take history as a mirror, give you a different history, welcome to Taiwan to talk about history.
Heroes don't ask for provenance? How do you view true success from the perspective of Guan Yu's journey of "sealing the gods"?
People who are familiar with the Three Kingdoms know that whether it is the most powerful, the most handsome, the most capable of fighting, etc. in the Three Kingdoms, but they are not as good as one person, this person is guan Yu, the martial saint who has been honored as a "saint".
This is a relatively high-style person in the history of Chinese mythology, and in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Guan Yu is almost also written as an almost perfect image, such as loyalty, credit, courage, strategy, and so on.
Of course, some popular stories also abound, such as wenjiu chopping Huaxiong, passing five levels and cutting six generals, flooding the Seven Army, etc., but after this person's death, the scenery is infinite.
According to folklore, Guan Yu felt something in his heart after his death, and sure enough, on the third day, a headless god descended from the sky, calling Liu Bei his brother, and said that he was killed by Lü Meng of Eastern Wu, and also said that Lü Meng would die, so he drifted away.
You see, this headless god will definitely be Guan Yu, and in the Qianlong Book of the Qing Dynasty," the Quanzhi of Xiezhou records that the Song Dynasty had a strange appearance in this place of Xiezhou, which was considered by the locals to be the work of the ancient people.
So the emperor of the Song Dynasty sent the Taoist Zhang Tianshi to deal with it, and when Zhang Tianshi asked the gods to suppress Xuan You, he did not invite other gods, but Guan Yu, the "local god" from Xiezhou.
The "Xuanhe Testament And The Former Collection" records that in xiezhou of the Song Dynasty, there were demons again, and it was still zhang Jixianshi of Taoism who went to eliminate the demons, and sure enough, within a few days, these demons were destroyed.
After returning home, Emperor Huizong of Song asked Zhang Tianshi which deity he had invited, and he hoped to meet this deity, and Zhang Jixian summoned the deity on the spot, and the description of this deity was: "One god dress, golden armor and green scarf, beautiful beard." There is no doubt about the image of Guan Yu.
In the end, when Guan Yu was in the Qing Dynasty, he was directly named "Zhongyi God Martial Spirit Youren Yongwei Xianwei Protecting the Country and Protecting the People Sincerely Appeasement Yi Praise Xuande Guansheng The Great". Look, this title is long enough.
In history, Guan Yu's appearance is only in the face of a Hua Xiong who killed the "god general" Pan Feng (mentioned in the previous issue), while Guan Yu only acts as a horse archer.
After Wen Jiu beheaded Huaxiong, Yuan Shu still showed great anger at the arrogance of this little horse archer, only Cao Cao's words:
"Reward those who have achieved merit, why should they be noble and lowly?"
That's what I want to say.
No matter how much Guan Yu was respected after his death, no matter how his status in the gods had become the "Holy Emperor", and no matter how beautiful he became famous.
In fact, many of us still rely on the developed media communication speed, pay too much attention to the so-called "rich second generation" and "official second generation", and put the self-improvement in a non-important position, to know that the hero does not ask the source!
Who doesn't know that your son in the future may be the same people you're focusing on right now? Do you think so? You are welcome to leave a comment, let's discuss together.
I'm talking about history, and we'll see you next time.
