In people's minds, Guan Yu is nine feet long, his hair is two feet long, his face is like a heavy date, his lips are like grease, his eyes are phoenix, his eyebrows are lying silkworms, and he is holding a green dragon crescent knife.
But such a majestic image was ruined by his dress. In the traditional image of Guan Yu, wearing a green robe is enough, and he actually wears a green hat on his head.
Because this traditional image is particularly deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, whether it is a TV series, or a comic, animation, or a game, Guan Er Brother is a green hat.
So why does Guan Yu wear a green robe and a green hat?
About Guan Yu likes to wear a green, found such a small story on the Internet.
It is said that when Guan Yu was wandering around because he killed people, he made a living selling dates. You said that Guan Yu is a good martial artist, and it is quite powerful to fight, but doing business is really a mess. But the reason why he can still make a living is because his purchase channels are not ordinary.
It is said that the dates that Guan Yu sold were stolen.
In order to facilitate the theft of dates, Guan Yu gave himself a whole green body, and when he saw someone coming, he climbed to the jujube tree and hid.
Dressed in green, a red face of jujubes, hidden in a jujube tree, no one can think of it.
Also because the jujube tree grew tall, Guan Yu held a long bamboo pole underneath and beat the jujube all day, which trained his amazing arm strength, driving more than eighty pounds of green dragon crescent knife, easy and free!
But this is the standard story.
In fact, Guan Yu's green robe was worn for him by the author of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Luo Guanzhong.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei once said to Yan Liang: "I have a brother, Guan Yunchangye, who is nine feet and five inches long, who must be one foot and eight inches long, with a face like a heavy jujube, Dan phoenix eyes, crouching silkworm eyebrows, and likes to wear green brocade battle robes, ride a yellow horse, and make the green dragon a sword." ”
This may be the first time Guan Yu has officially appeared in a green robe.
After Guan Yu surrendered to Cao Cao, in order to retain Guan Yu's heart, Cao Cao not only gave Guan Yu a big house, but also raised gold on horseback, silver on horseback, a small feast on three days, and a big feast on five days.
One day, Cao Cao saw that the green robe worn by Guan Gong was buried and tattered, and he wondered in his heart, this Guan Yu was also too picky. I gave him so much money that I didn't even buy clothes. Come on, get Guan Yu a new robe.
The people below brought Guan Yu a red brocade robe, and Guan Gong put on the new robe, and then, the old robe, put it on the outside again. Cao Cao really couldn't help it, what about Guan Yu, that way, I'll give you ten new robes, and you'll throw away the torn clothes. Isn't it shameful that you search like this?
Guan Yu was awe-inspiring: This green robe was given by liu bei, the eldest brother, and when he saw the green robe, he thought of the eldest brother, so he could not change it.
Seeing this, everyone understood that Luo Guanzhong let Guan Yu wear a green robe in order to reflect that Guan Yu did not forget the old lord and was righteous and thin.
It may be that Guan Yu's green robe is a symbol of loyalty, so it can't be taken off and has become Guan Yu's standard.
However, Guan Yu's green hat was not put on by Luo Guanzhong, and it may be Cao Cao's trouble.
It is said that during the Three Kingdoms period, there was also a beautiful woman, Du Shi.
The beauties of the Three Kingdoms, when they had great attraction, were almost all human wives. Erqiao, Mink Cicada, Zhen Mi, Lady Gan, etc., without exception, it can be seen that in the Three Kingdoms era, men's tastes were heavy.
Du Shi is a non-famous, beautiful wife.
Du Shi was originally the wife of One of Lü Bu's generals, Qin Yilu. Qin Yilu wants to be a high official, and there is no money in the family, knowing that Lü Bu likes beautiful women, Lü Bu and His father Dong Zhuo fell out, is it not because of the beautiful mink cicada? No money, we have beautiful women. Qin Yilu found an opportunity to send his beautiful wife to Lü Bu's bed.
However, Qin Yilu's life was not good, and the reason was that the life of the master Lü Bu was even worse, so most of the officials who were sealed did not have any meaning.
Lü Bu claimed to be the first in the three kingdoms, but he lost the battle. First, he was driven out of Chang'an by the Western Liang general Li Yuguo and defected to a bunch of masters, but none of them gained a foothold. Later, in Liu Beina, Yin Zhao drove Liu Bei away, and only then did he have his own territory and became a fake Xuzhou Mu. Self-imposed, no one admits.
Liu Bei then defected to Cao Cao, feeling aggrieved, busy for most of his life, it was difficult to have a piece of land, and within a few days of the good days, Xuzhou was robbed by Lü Bu. So Liu Bei cried, and the tears were like the water of the Yellow River, gushing endlessly, almost flooding Cao Cao's house.
Cao Cao was really afraid of Liu Bei's tears, and his heart said that he really deserved to be the most powerful weapon in the legend, and he couldn't hold back such a thick skin.
Cao Cao was afraid of Liu Bei's tears, so he waved a big hand, you defected to me, that is, the younger brother, I will avenge you. Immediately with a large army, led by Liu Bei's three brothers, Lü Bu was besieged in Xia Pi City. Lü Bu could not fight and could not escape, so he sent Qin Yilu to yuan shao for help. Qin Yilu saw that Lü Bu was going to finish the calf, and his heart spoke, I curried favor with you in order to become a high official, you are like this, and you still expect me to sell your life? Dream about it. He left his wife Du Shi and his son and turned to Yuan Shu.
At this time, Guan Yu jumped out and took the initiative to attack Lü Bu. But there was a condition, that is, to give Qin Yilu's wife to him as a concubine.
How did Guan Yu know that Du Shi was a great beauty? Lü Bu went to Xuzhou to join Liu Bei, and in order to show his sincerity as a horse boy, he asked Liu Bei to invite him to the inner room and introduce one two three four..., a total of more than a dozen wives, one by one. As a bodyguard, Guan Yu was fortunate to see Du Shi. Love at first sight, love dead come alive. Since then, Guan Yu's face has become even redder. Why? Thinking of Du Shi's thoughts, visible, untouchable, scratching his heart and scratching his liver all day, that blushing, almost dripping blood.
Cao Cao said more ghosts, ah, do not ask who Du Shi is, what he looks like, full of mouth promises, is not just a woman, take it. Secretly, he ordered his subordinates, so what, after the destruction of the city, first put the Du clan out, I want to see.
Why? Cao Cao is a beautiful woman control, but also a human wife control! Because of hooking up with Zhang Ji's wife, the life of the eldest son Cao Ang was completely lost. Therefore, I heard that Guan Yu had a crush on his wife Du Shi, and he did not look at it and was not willing.
I have to say that Guan Yu is indeed a "person with a heart", with the high fighting spirit of "working without getting tired", Xia Pi City was successfully captured.
Although the city was captured by Guan Yu, the beauty was gone. Guan Yu used Cao Cao's soldiers, so Cao Cao's hands were faster than his. Cao Cao, who has always been "pitiful and cherishes jade", as soon as he saw Du Shi, his soul flew, and what Guan Yu asked for, he threw it behind the melon seeds in his head, and he said it himself.
Since then, Cao Cao has had one more wife, and Guan Yu has more resentment. This is also the reason why Guan Yu later liked to wear a green hat, reminding himself not to forget this hatred.
This is a legend, and it should not be true.
Some people have said that the modern green hat of course has other meanings, that is, it can never be worn, but in ancient times, the ancients were not so exquisite, and what is the importance of wearing it. So, is this really the case? 、
There are many origins of the green hat, one of which is the story in "Laughing Forest Guangji".
It is said that a merchant often goes out to do business, and his wife has a pleasant relationship with a cloth dealer, often taking advantage of the businessman's efforts to communicate fully.
One day, the merchant went hunting, the cloth dealer thought he was out of the door again, the merchant had just left on the front foot, and the cloth dealer rushed to the merchant's house on the back foot...
The two men were about to cook and touch the fire, when the merchant suddenly returned, frightening the two men to death. Afterwards, the merchant's wife made a green hat and agreed with the cloth dealer: "From now on, you can only come when you see my husband wearing a green hat." ”
This is a joke of the Qing Dynasty, but the special meaning of the green hat has long been there.
The first originated in the Tang Dynasty. It is said that when a woman was cheating on her lover, her husband returned, and the woman quickly tucked her lover under the bed. Afraid that her husband would find out, he constantly advised her husband to go out to work, and said that he was afraid that his husband would sunburn and buckled half a watermelon peel on his husband's head. This is the "green hat".
Another way of saying the green hat appeared in the Yuan Dynasty.
It is said that the Mongols do not have the profession of prostitutes, and after going south, they saw that the Han people had prostitutes, which was very despised, so they let the prostitutes wear purple shirts, and let the parents and relatives of the prostitutes wear green turbans, which is equivalent to a green hat.
This evil policy was inherited by the later Ming Dynasty, and it became more and more intense, and Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated that those who wore green turbans could only walk on the streets.
You see, what a status!
However, until this time, ancient China was only a "green turban" and did not have a "green hat". The reason is simple, at that time, Chinese did not wear hats! After the Manchu Customs Entry, men want to shave their hair, do not wear a headscarf, and begin to wear a melon skin hat, and the prostitute's family thinks that it has finally got rid of the label of "green turban", but it is not expected that the "green hat" is buttoned to the head again.
Guan Yu wears a green turban, which is equivalent to a green hat.
Because Luo Guanzhong was a person at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, and he especially liked Guan Yu, it was impossible to wear a green hat for Guan Yu no matter what.
According to research, Guan Yu's green hat, around the Time of the Yuan Dynasty, appeared on the opera stage.
Why did Guan Yu wear a green hat, it was the aesthetic need at that time, the result of accidental collision, but unfortunately this misunderstanding, I am afraid that it will never be changed.
The theatrical stages of ancient China were mostly open-air, even indoors, because of the limited conditions, there were no bright lights. Therefore, the appearance of ancient Chinese opera characters is mostly very bright, and only bright colors can attract people's interest and attention.
So at that time, red with green was not a silly one, but a beautiful standard. Therefore, people often say that red flowers should also be supported by green leaves. Several of Bai Juyi's poems are also typical of red with green.
Green ant new wine, red clay small stove.
Late to the day want snow, can you drink a cup of nothing?
There is also: Gangnam is good, the scenery used to be familiar. The sunrise river flowers are red and the fire is better, and the spring river is as green as blue. Can you not remember Gangnam?
Because in ancient times, red and green were a symbol of beauty, and because red and green were particularly eye-catching, Guan Yu on the stage wore a green hat.
