In the thousands of years of China's history, countless capable warriors have emerged, and the literati know the heavens and the earth, turn over the clouds and rain, and plot a city. It gives people a feeling of knowing nothing and not knowing anything, and what is more, it is directly deified into a god who knows five hundred years before and five hundred years later. As for the military generals, they did not make too many concessions, and they pulled up the mountains and swept the world, and the heads of the generals in thousands of armies and horses were like probing for things, and one by one they were as unstoppable as the gods under the gods.
So where did these literati warriors come from?
Some people say that it was given by the gods, don't you see that Zhang Liang just met the old man of Huangshi to give gossip? And that Lü Bu was born with a self-ties, which ordinary people can do? Isn't that entire nonsense? To find out where their abilities come from, we first divide them into several categories, and the literati and military generals also separate them.
A growing type
This category is actually the best to understand, that is, in the process of their own growth, continue to learn, continue to accumulate experience, until the image presented to our descendants at death is their final learning results. Let's take a few examples. One of the four governors of Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period was Lu Zijing and Lu Su. When he was young, he was only the head of the Lu family, although when he was young, he could manage a large family of thousands of people and be able to make it function normally, but at this time he was only twenty years old, and he was a small hairy child with a smelly smell, how could his ability at this time compare to the later Eastern Wu Governor? Nature cannot be compared.
Of course, we must also admit that the starting point of such a character cannot be low, and it does need enough talent and environmental influence, and its own efforts to learn are also indispensable.
Lu Su was only twenty years old to become the patriarch of the Lu family, of course, his own talent is there, from a young age than other children smarter and smarter, according to the current words is often let us grit our teeth of other people's children. In the fifth year of Jian'an (200 AD), the world was in chaos, and it should be noted here that most capable people shine in the chaotic world, after all, the chaotic world produces heroes, so it is also the situation that has created the emergence of these heroes.
What to do after the chaos? Lu Su led the Lu family to go straight to Sun Quan and vote.
As soon as Lu Su arrived in Eastern Wu, his old friend Zhou Yu immediately recommended him, saying that he had amazing talents. And Zhou Yu and Sun Quan are good friends, which means that the supreme ruler and you are good brothers, so immediately there is a relatively high platform.
Lu Su was also under the influence of the surrounding scholars and courtiers, everyone studied and discussed together, and his own ability was constantly improving. Therefore, a well-known celebrity, when he declares that he is not obvious, his own ability may not be much higher, that is, he is more talented and smarter than us ordinary people.
2. Born with divine power
There are not many such cases, but it does make me unable to think of an exact reason, and can only guess in combination with life. Who are these people? It is also the Three Kingdoms era, and the big name is famous, they are Guan Erye and Zhang Sanye. Readers who are familiar with the Three Kingdoms know where these two come from.
Let's talk about Guan Yu first, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is said that he only saw a pawn with a majestic style, his face was like a heavy jujube, and his long beard was fluttering, unlike ordinary people. Guan Er ye himself also said that he was originally a peddler in his hometown, and only because he was not used to the strong squires did he kill them and fled all the way here. We can sum up, what is the origin of Second Master Guan? A murderer, a wanted gangster in the imperial court, and now a date seller.
It's just that the height is a little higher, and the shape is more avant-garde.
Then where did his sword technique and divine power come from? To be honest, I have been looking for so long without any reasonable claims, and I have only found a more mythical story on the Internet: it is said that Guan Erye passed through a temple (most of the somewhat legendary characters seem to pass through the small temple) and was fed cakes by several fairies, including nine cows, two tigers, seven bears, and six leopards. Eat them to gain innate divine power. And Guan Yu only ate the cake of the nine bulls and two tigers and did not eat it, so he could not beat Lü Bu in his lifetime. Of course, this is just our after-dinner joke.
In the real situation, I guess it may be that Guan Yu's body is originally high, and in ancient times, it was very prominent to have a meter and a seven. And Guan Yu is more than one meter nine tall, which is highlighted in that generation, the height of the arm span is stronger than that of ordinary soldiers, and Guan Yu is from a peasant background, and he has been indispensable to all kinds of hard work since he was a child. With the accumulation of time, I also have the strength of a body. Ordinary people are really not his opponents, so killing and accumulating on the battlefield, it is not necessary to achieve him in one or two places.
And the real situation of Guan Yu is far from the image we know. It is naturally impossible to take a hundred, relying on their own physical advantages and rapid shots, coupled with a little luck, it is not difficult to harvest a dozen heads. In this way, a freshly baked Second Master Guan was formed.
As for Zhang Sanye, it is better understood, in modern parlance, Zhang Sanye has indirect mania. It is also a raw leopard with a ringed eye and a weight arm length
。 Moreover, Zhang Fei is a butcher, and when the butcher is fierce, he also has strength, so ordinary people really can't get him
This type is rare in history, because no history has been mythologized by the Three Kingdoms, and most history books restore the real situation of history as much as possible.
Three teachers are instructive
As the saying goes, the master leads into the door, a good master can often make your efforts more effective with half the effort, this type of representative figure, we will give two. One is zhuge liang as we know it, and the other is Liu Bowen of the Ming Dynasty. Both of these people are known for their clever calculations and strategists, and have a high reputation in the folk.
The general trend of the world, you can know everything without going out, it is Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang six out of Qishan, seven captures Meng, three points of the world, bagua trapped Lu Xun, united with Sun Quan to fight against Cao Cao, united with Zhou Yu in Chibi to burn Cao Jun, cleverly borrowed the East Wind, life deeds almost everyone can say a big string of out, Zhuge Liang is also the highest voice in the Three Kingdoms.
Liu Bowen was the number one civil servant under Zhu Yuanzhang, and was known as the first person after Zhuge Liang, who knew five hundred before and five hundred in the back. He is also proficient in mathematics, literature and history.
So the question is, they all have such a great skill, who are their teachers?
Let's talk about Zhuge Liang first. Zhuge Liang's master-apprentice relationship is not well documented, and there is no specific record to examine. General folklore believes that it is the Sima Emblem of Mr. Water Mirror.
Sima Hui's men are also full of talents, not only Zhuge Liang, but also legendary Sima Yi, Xu Fu, and Pang Tong are his apprentices, which shows Sima Hui's ability.
Zhuge Liang is also from a family, and the scope of involvement is relatively wide, so his master should be more than Sima Hui alone, far from saying, just say his own Yue Fei, Huang Yueying's father Huang Laozi also helped him grow a lot.
In addition, the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, Shushu, and The Biography of Zhuge Liang begins with the following statement:
Zhuge Liang character Kong Ming, Liang Gong cultivated Longmu, good for "Liang Father Yin". Eight feet tall, every time he compares himself to Guan Zhong and Le Yi, when people are mo zhi Xu ye."
Guan Zhong, Le Yi who is also? It was the famous commander of the Spring and Autumn Warring States, one leading the Six-Nation Alliance to capture a large area of the territory of the State of Qi, and the other achieving the position of the overlord of the Duke of Qi Huan. Zhuge Liang compared himself to them, presumably he often took notes with them, and the deficiencies were also learning like them, and the ancients were also famous teachers who they could learn.
After saying Zhuge Liang, let's take a look at Liu Ji, who is known as the first person after him.
Liu Bowen has loved to read since he was a child, and he loves these soldier books and strategies. Not only that, he also studied astronomy, geography, martial arts, magic and so on. The wide range also makes it difficult for ordinary people to reach
。 The history books record that when Liu Bowen was seventeen years old, he went to Chuzhou to study with a teacher named Zheng Fuchu. Zheng Fuchu was a Ming Dynasty scholar with high learning, and once asserted that Liu Bowen would become a great instrument in the future.
Liu Bowen learned the Confucian classics from Zheng Fuchu, and obtained two books from the monk Huiyuan and Deng Xiangfu, namely the Lingcheng Jingyi and the Twelve Spirit Chess Classics, respectively, so these two can also be considered as Liu Bowen's teachers.
In fact, these two books are real in history, and Liu Bowen should have studied them carefully, and it is a mystery whether he is a teacher or not.
Of course, there is also a belief that Liu Bowen's teacher is actually Zhang Zhong. Who is Zhang Zhong? Although he was ostensibly a Taoist monk, he possessed many unpredictable abilities and once helped Zhu Yuanzhang defeat Chen Youqiong.
On the whole, whether it is Zhuge Liang or Liu Bowen, in addition to their own talent and efforts, they are also inseparable from the leadership professors of good masters.
To sum up, their achievements are for many reasons, teachers, environment, talents, efforts, and the current situation of the environment, so it is precisely because of the many reasons that they are more prominent, we admire the ancients at the same time, we can not belittle the present, to take them as an example, and strive to improve ourselves.
