I heard that Huang Xiaoming deliberately exercised for a long time before filming "Jingzhong Yue Fei", and wanted to train his figure better, and sure enough, the whole body in the play was full of muscles, which looked very eye-catching, but whether it was Yue Fei's portrait or statue, Yue Fei was a general's belly.
In fact, the vast majority of generals in ancient times could not be said to be completely without the Lanling King, but in most cases, the generals at that time had a large general's belly, and the muscles on their bodies were not so obvious.
General belly general belly, naturally because many generals in ancient times, have such a big belly, people now may feel that a general belly is really very greasy, not very good-looking, but in the past, the situation is not the same.
In ancient times, most people had limited living conditions, and it was rare to eat meat and fat.
Generally speaking, only ordinary people who work regularly and do not eat well will have muscles, and it is difficult for people with status to have.
The former nobles, scholars, and generals in the army, those who had a certain status, had better living conditions, could ingest more meat and nutrition, and did not need to do too much hard work, so they could grow a "general's belly".
We are completely different from the West in ancient times, Westerners advocate muscle lines, but the East from the pre-Qin era, do not feel that muscles are the expression of beauty, today's terracotta warriors, most of them have a relatively large belly.
In the ancient times of the East, the muscles of the body were often possessed by coolies and were despised by the nobles.
Whether they are scholars or generals in the army, they all have a big belly, even if it is not obvious, they often do not have obvious muscles.
Of course, the most obvious of this kind of belly is the generals in the ancient army, so it is called the general's belly, but do not underestimate such a general's belly, in reality, this is actually a manifestation of combat effectiveness.
General's belly, not simply obese, some people may think that the general's belly has no strength, because they feel that the layer of flesh is soft and soft, completely inferior to the muscles, but if you think about it from another angle, Hong Jinbao and Jet Li of the same age fight, who has a better chance of winning?
In the case of the same body fat rate, the higher the weight, the more muscle strength and the stronger the combat effectiveness.
The belly of the ancient general was not fat accumulated because of lazy pleasure, but wrapped in muscles.
Whether it was Yue Fei or Guan Gong before them, they all looked as if they had no muscles, but in fact, their muscles were all wrapped around the general's belly, so that the general's belly with skin wrapped in flesh had much stronger combat power than pure muscles.
General belly, very important when fighting Since the pre-Qin era, soldiers have carried a very amazing weight, such as the warriors of the State of Wei, often wearing three layers of very heavy armor when marching, with a full bow pulling force of more than twelve stones, and the weight of long-term combat is more exaggerated.
In this case, neither bone nor muscle can sustain physical exertion for a long time.
Having enough fat and having a general's belly means that you can sustain consumption on the battlefield, which is extremely important.
In ancient times, the standard for tough generals was often a tiger's back bear waist, waist wide ten circumference, such a figure and modern people pursue the so-called eight-pack abs completely opposite, in ancient times to eight pack abs on the battlefield, it is completely useless.
Fighting a war is different from competitive sports and the like, when it was really fought in ancient times, it was desperate, and no matter how good the muscle lines were, it was useless, and the strength was still the kind of general's belly.
It's just different from the beer belly, the previous general's belly, which refers to the state of the fat-wrapped muscles.
The general's belly not only maintains physical exertion, but also has stronger attack power, and when attacked, it can also buffer and reduce damage.
In addition, many generals in ancient times were mainly on the battlefield to command operations, and they did not need to often personally fight.
To put it bluntly, it is very normal and very reasonable for the former generals to have a big belly, not only can they go to the battlefield, but only such people are on the battlefield, and the strength is more powerful, which is the real general's belly.
