In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu are particularly famous for their story of "Taoyuan Three Knots", but in fact the three of them did not have the Taoyuan Three Knots, according to the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms Guan Yu Biography": "The first Lord was in the township to join the disciples, and Yu and Zhang Fei were insulted." The first lord is the plain phase, with yu and fei as other simas, and the division is divided into sub-divisions. ”
Who is Guan Yu's master? According to historical records, Guan Yu's original character changsheng, later changed to Yunchang, fled to Zhuo County after committing crimes in his hometown, and later met Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, before which Guan Yu's growth experience is not recorded, but we can learn some of Guan Yu's situation through the social situation at that time.
Guan Yu once killed a bully, so he left his hometown, indicating that Guan Yu already had some skills at that time, dissatisfied with bully bullying to kill him, and Guan Yu was also a general in Liu Bei's tent camp, his skills were very high, in ancient times, all his skills were a few years old or teenagers to start practicing, especially for people who practiced martial arts.
And Guan Yu admires people with high talent, either equal to him, or martial arts above him, from which it can be known that people who can be Guan Yu's master are naturally extraordinary, in addition, if Guan Yu learns martial arts from the people, then he may not be able to contact weapons such as bows and arrows, so before the Tang, the people could have swords, but they were not allowed to hide armor and bows and arrows.
Some people think that Guan Yu's skills were trained during the suppression of the Yellow Turban Uprising, but although the Yellow Turban Rebellion had a great impact, it was quickly suppressed, so that Guan Yu's time to practice his skills was short, so Guan Yu had practiced martial arts before coming to Zhuo County, but as for who Guan Yu was trained from? The relevant literature does not record it, and some people laughed that Guan Yu's master was actually Sun Wukong.
Of course, this is impossible, but Guan Yu has a great influence in the people, and the emperors of various dynasties also believe that Guan Yu is the embodiment of loyalty and righteousness, and have given Guan Yu the title many times, so that in the Yongzheng Emperor period, the imperial court issued an order to take the Guan Emperor Temple as a martial temple and incorporate it into the ceremony, and Guan Yu became the main god of state sacrifice.
