When it comes to the famous Southern Song Dynasty general Yue Fei, we always think of the poem he wrote for the first time, "Manjiang Hong, Angry Hair Rushing Crown": "Angry hair rushing crown, relying on the column, Xiao Xiao rain rest." Look up at the eyes, look up at the sky and scream, and be fierce. Thirty meritorious deeds of dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and moons. Mo waited for idle, white teenager's head, empty and sad....."
Yue Fei learned martial arts from an early age, and since he was twenty years old, he has joined the army four times, and has participated in and commanded hundreds of large and small battles, and when the Jin army attacked Jiangnan, there were countless surrender factions in the Southern Song Dynasty court, and only Yue Fei was unique in advocating resistance to Jin. It has recovered the six counties of Health and Xiangyang.
In the sixth year of Shaoxing (1136), Yue Fei led the Northern Expedition, and the rebel armies in various places responded one after another, not only recapturing Zhengzhou, Luoyang and other important places, but also defeating the Jin army in Yingchang, seeing that they were about to directly smash the Yellow Dragon to completely defeat the Jin army, but they did not expect that Yue Fei was framed by Qin Juniper, and the twelve "golden cards" under Emperor Gaozong of Song urged the class division, which was also Yue Fei's life-telling charm.
"Some people die but they are still alive, and some people live but are equivalent to death." Gou and stealthily, qin ju who is a slave and a charming lord is the latter, and general Yue Fei is the former. The four words "Jing loyal to the country" were originally engraved on the back of General Yue Fei, and after his wrongful death, they were also engraved in everyone's heart.
Just like Guan Yu, the deeds of General Yue Fei were widely circulated in the folk and even derived into legendary stories. Yue Fei was enshrined in temples and written into books, and now appears frequently in TV series and movies. In some of our impressions, Yue Fei is tall and mighty, the jade tree is windy, the eyebrows are like torches, the movement is like the wind, in short, the image is incomparably perfect, but what does Yue Fei look like in real history?
If you want to understand what Yue Fei's real appearance looks like, you may wish to look at the famous painting "Four Generals of Zhongxing" collected by the National Museum, written by Liu Songnian, a famous painter of the Southern Song Dynasty, which not only has a portrait of Yue Fei, but also a portrait of Liu Guangshi, Han Shizhong, and Zhang Jun.
Yue Fei is recognized as the head of the four generals of Zhongxing, and Han Shizhong can also be said to have outstanding military achievements, but the other two dare not agree, Liu Guangshi was a famous "escaped general" in the Southern Song Dynasty and Yue Feibi can be described as a heaven and a place, and Zhang Jun is even with Qin Ju, and he also has a share in the murder of Yue Fei.
Therefore, most of the so-called "four generals of ZTE" are unwilling to admit it, which is simply insulting the prestige of General Yue Fei. However, the degree of restoration of the true image of this painting is undeniable, because the author Liu Song himself is a person of the same era as General Yue Fei, and Yue Fei has been traveling abroad for many years to discuss the West, and it is not unusual to say that Liu Song has seen him.
However, Yue Fei in "ZTE Four Generals" is inevitably a little difficult to accept, it turns out that we have been deceived by folklore by TV dramas and movies for many years, Yue Fei's original appearance is a Chinese character-shaped face, a high nose bridge, a pointed nose, eyes are relatively round, wide eyebrows, two cheeks are very rich, and there is a "general belly", in short, not as handsome as everyone imagines.....
In fact, it can also be expected that the historical records record that Yue Fei's strength from the small arm must be excessive. Therefore, it is not surprising that the body is strong and even somewhat obese, so that on the battlefield there is a greater deterrent, and the so-called body is fake. From various aspects of analysis, this "ZTE Four Generals" should be a portrait with a relatively high degree of real image restoration, but I don't know whether the archaeological community can give more evidence in the future.
