What are the Four Generals of the Southern Song Dynasty? When the Song Dynasty moved to the south, it made a lot of ministers who made military achievements, so that the Song Dynasty could keep half of the Jiangshan, these four famous people will make a very great contribution to the Song Dynasty, of which there are several different statements about the four generals of Zhongxing, but later generations believe that these four generals are Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun and Liu Shiguang.
Now in the museum of our country, there is a portrait of four generals, but it is not based on the original painting, but it is an imitation of the original painting by future generations. Here we mention zhongxing, these two words are very prosperous meaning, usually refers to a dynasty is very strong, the Song Dynasty slowly declined, slowly appeared signs of recovery, everyone will use this painting to describe the Northern Song Dynasty.
The Northern Song Dynasty experienced a period of prosperity, but later declined, so after the shame of Jing Kang, the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed by the Jin Dynasty. At this time, Zhao Zhuo led the imperial court to flee to Zhejiang, established the Southern Song Dynasty, and confronted the powerful Jin State, so that the Song Dynasty could continue to continue, which was the so-called ZTE.
In fact, there are many versions of the four famous generals of the Southern Song Dynasty that we just mentioned, but no matter which four generals, Yue Fei is included in these four generals, and what we see today is a painting painted by Liu Songnian in the court during the Southern Song Dynasty, in which a total of eight figures are depicted, and each general is accompanied by a soldier in military uniform.
In this picture, a very prominent treatment was made of the characters, they enlarged the general's figure, the soldier's body was reduced, it should be noted that there is a title next to each portrait, and now the words of these inscriptions are a few words written by the Qianlong Emperor himself, and the four words of Yue E Wang Fei can be clearly seen.
From this painting, we can see that Yue Fei's soldier stands on the left side of Yue Fei, who is carrying a bow and arrow and a quiver tied to his waist, and the person on the right is Yue Fei, who is very familiar to all of us.
On the whole, Yue Fei seems to be somewhat honest, everyone knows that when Yue Fei was managing the army, he paid great attention to the army's reward and punishment system, the discipline of the army was very strict, and he was very protective of the soldiers, and when he often fought, a person rushed in the whole, and the Jin people saw that Yue Fei's army was very afraid, although it was said that yue Fei was later killed by Qin Juniper, and it was impossible to extinguish our respect for Yue Fei.

The third one we see is Wang Shizhong, standing on the left side of the picture is a very famous general Who resisted the Jin people, Han Shizhong, on his right is the soldier led by Han Shizhong, hanging a sword on his waist, according to historical records, Han Shizhong is very big and very brave, when he was eighteen years old, he became a member of the army, when he was on the battlefield, he could always defeat his opponent unexpectedly, and he was also a very famous figure in the Southern Song Dynasty.
The last thing we see is Wang Shiguang, standing on the right is his soldier, and on the left is the general Liu Shiguang, who is very familiar to us, who was also a very famous general in the Southern Song Dynasty who fought against the Jin people. In the earliest times, he led his soldiers to the frontier to engage the Jin people, and later the Jin soldiers began to invade the south, and he and Han Shizhong, the two men, guarded the defense line in the Yangtze River region, and he was also very famous during the Southern Song Dynasty.
