In novels and film and television dramas, Zhang Fei always appears with a tough description, he looks bitter and black charcoal and a leopard head ring eyes swallow jaw tiger whiskers, launching anger to make people can't help but tremble. However, Zhang Fei has always fought for righteousness, and when Liu Bei's escape was in danger, Zhang Fei stood on the Dangyang Bridge regardless of his personal life and death, and protected the Lord from danger with a mortal heart, so sincere loyalty is still sung. However, from the ancient historical materials, it can be seen that Zhang Fei in the real history is not as rude as portrayed in the film and television drama, but is a very good "Confucian general".
In the "Hero's Record" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Fei's Biography" records that Zhang Fei was good at painting and had great respect for gentlemen and Confucians. Therefore, even if Zhang Fei was not from a family of rulers, he was by no means a reckless person. In 184 AD, Zhang Fei, who was not yet 20 years old, defected to Liu Bei and was highly valued, and with Guan Yu, the three were not brothers but were better than brothers. From then on, for about 30 years, Zhang Fei became Liu Bei's right and left arm, followed him in the Eastern Expedition to the West, and made great contributions to shu Han, and Liu Bei also rewarded Zhang Fei and gave him many honors.
In 219 AD, Liu Bei gave Zhang Fei a "false festival". In ancient times, the power of the false festival was very large, and the holders such as the emperor himself held the power of life and death. It can be seen from this that Zhang Fei's position in the Shu Han Dynasty was so important. However, as Guan Yu lost Jingzhou and was condemned by Eastern Wu, Zhang Fei's troubles also followed. However, Zhang Fei is after all a man who has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and it is inevitable that he will grin a lot and think about it thoroughly. In 221 AD, Zhang Fei lashed out at two subordinates for a trivial matter, and was hated by the two, so he was killed by Zhang Fei while he was drunk and asleep.
The news of Zhang Fei's death reached Liu Bei's ears, causing Liu Bei to feel very sad, and he ordered people to build a tomb and bury Zhang Fei thickly. For thousands of years, the Zhang Fei Ancestral Temple has been destroyed several times, but the tomb is well preserved. Until the 1970s, in the ancient city of Langzhong in Sichuan, Zhang Fei's tomb collapsed, so archaeologists carried out tentative excavations.
Only halfway through the digging, the expert quickly withdrew, not daring to continue digging deeper. Because experts found that the stone tables and stone benches in the tomb passage are well preserved, and the tomb door is not damaged, since the ancient tomb has not been destroyed, it is not allowed to be excavated hastily according to the regulations of the archaeological community, so because of this practical problem, the archaeological team sealed the tomb as it was.
