In the Three Kingdoms, Liu Chan, the lord of the Shu Kingdom, married two of Zhang Fei's daughters separately, and also made one of them empresses, which has to be said to be a long face for Zhang Fei, who suddenly rose from a founding hero to an imperial relative, even after Zhang Fei's death, his honor was unmatched in the entire Shu kingdom, even Zhuge Liang could not compare with him.
However, one thing that makes us feel strange is that as another Shu general Guan Yu, who was also a founding hero, he obviously also had a daughter, so why was he not married by Liu Chan? Is Guan Yu's daughter very bad?
Children of Guan Yu
Shu Ji Yue: Pang Dezihui, Sui Zhong, Deng Fa Shu, Shu Broken, destroyed the Guan family.
According to Wang Yin, the author of the Book of Shu, when Pang De accompanied Deng Ai and Zhong Hui to cut down Shu, he wiped out Guan Yu's family. However, this author has obvious personal tendencies in writing, so it is not recognized by the canonical history, and is even criticized and questioned by Pei Songzhi's commentary. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, why is there no record of Liu Chan marrying Guan Yinping?
The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms records: Zi Xinghei. Xingzi Anguo, rarely asked, Xiang Zhuge Liang deeply different. The weak crown is a servant and a lieutenant, and a few years old. Zi Tonghei, Princess Shang, official to the Tiger Ben Zhonglang General. 卒, childless, continued to seal with Xingshu Zi Yi.
Xing here refers to Guan Xing, Guan Yu has two sons and a daughter in the novel, the eldest son is called Guan Ping, and then died in linfeng with Guan Yu, and the younger son is called Guan Xing, who participated in the Northern Expedition war with Zhuge Liang in the later period, because of his repeated promotions, he won the trust of Zhuge Liang, and was an "excellent young general" in the late Shu state.
And Guan Yu's daughter is named Guan Yinping, once Eastern Wu's Sun Quan sent someone to ask for relatives, hoping that Guan Yu would marry Guan Yinping to his son as a wife, guan Yu angrily scolded "tiger girl Yan can marry a dog"? This sentence completely angered Sun Quan, and Guan Yu himself was killed by this arrogance.
Why guan Yu's daughter failed to marry Liu Chan
Logically speaking, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu also have daughters, and they are brothers with Liu Bei, and the three of them should be married for love or interests, and they should be firmly tied together. But in the end, why did Guan Yu's daughter Guan Yinping not marry Liu Chan?
The first aspect: different personalities
Guan Yinping was born in the "Martial Sage" family, and Guan Yu is an authentic martial artist, he is not as "coarse and thin" as Zhang Fei's personality, but arrogant and arrogant, so Guan Yinping lives in such a family must have been self-absorbed from childhood, and will also become arrogant and arrogant, and Liu Chan's personality characteristics are relatively weak, everything needs others to help and take care of him, like Guan Yinping, a cold woman is definitely not suitable for Liu Chan. Therefore, liu Chan considers from his personal personality, he will not like Guan Yinping.
The second aspect: strict wife control
Guan Yu is a warrior, and Guan Yinping also followed Guan Yu to learn martial arts from childhood, the level of education is not high, but the physical exercise is very strong, in the wild history records: Guan Yinping also went to battle with Zhuge Liang many times to kill the enemy, is a very famous "female general", and Guan Yinping is grumpy, and he has to shoot at the front of the two armies at every turn, I am afraid that with this kind of personality Liu Chan will not like, if he marries home a wife Guan Yan, a Hedong lion, I am afraid that Liu Chan will be afraid that he will not be able to sleep at night.
Third aspect: Guan Yu will not agree
At the beginning, Sun Quan sent someone to ask for his son, but Guan Yu explicitly refused, and said that Sun Quan's son was a "dog", which shows that Guan Yinping was deeply loved by Guan Yu, and Guan Yu also hoped to choose a suitable good match for Guan Yinping. Of course, ordinary people simply can't get into Guan Yu's eyes, even Sun Quan's son he can't look at, and Liu Chan, as a "can't afford Ah Dou", what qualifications does he have to marry Guan Yinping? From this point of view, Guan Yu would not agree to Guan Yinping marrying Liu Chan at all, and if someone asked for Liu Chan's relatives, it would be boring to ask for himself.
postscript
Combined with the above three aspects, although Zhang Fei and Guan Yu also have daughters, Zhang Fei's daughters are well educated, and they are educated in accordance with everyone's bridesmaid style from childhood, so they grow up to be gentle and lovely, and they are a lady with good conduct, so they are deeply loved by Liu Chan. Guan Yinping is different, the environment in which she grew up is to dance knives and guns, and there will be no female talent at all, so even if she marries Liu Chan, she will not be happy.
From the lives of Zhang Fei's daughter and Guan Yu's daughter, we can see that the growth environment is really important for a person. Therefore, parents should correctly guide their children from an early age, so that they can walk on the right track and not deviate, so that they will have a bright future.
