Worship Guan Gong, forge good fortunes, learn from Guan Gong and practice good fortune
The story of Guan Yu Yingwu Zhongyi, because of the creation and circulation of a large number of novels, books and related film and television works, as large as seven years old and eighty, as young as a three-year-old child, no one knows, no one knows, even if it has passed thousands of years, his artistic image is almost fixed. Regarding Guan Yu's image, in addition to his fighting state of straddling a red rabbit horse and holding a cold saw, it is the image of him with his left hand brushing his hair, his right hand holding a copy of "Spring and Autumn", the left Guan Ping holding the seal, and the right Zhou Cang carrying a large knife.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Guan Yu left Cao Cao to escort his two sisters-in-law to find Liu Bei, and when he was resting at night on the way, Guan Yu took out a red treasure book "Spring and Autumn" and studied seriously under the candlelight. Reading "Spring and Autumn" at night has also become a classic image of Guan Yu. People imagine that the ancient warriors, if you want to read the book, will be a soldier's book, but why is Guan Yu's favorite to read "Spring and Autumn"?
Some people say that people have shaped Guan Yu as an image that loves to watch "Spring and Autumn" in order to reflect Guan Yunchang's literary and martial arts, wu can go to Ma'an tianxia, and Wen can get off Ma Ding Qiankun. But it is only half right, which is to say something from the "Spring and Autumn" in Guan Yu's hand. Many people's impression of "Spring and Autumn" may only stay in the student era, knowing that it is the first chronicle of ancient mainland china, but they do not know much about its contents.
"Spring and Autumn", also known as "Spring and Autumn Classic", also known as "Lin Jing" or "Lin History", is one of the six classics of ancient Confucianism, the whole book is a total of 35 volumes. The Spring and Autumn Chronicle records the history of the State of Lu during the Zhou Dynasty, spanning nearly three hundred years from the year of Lu Yin (772 BC) to the sixteenth year of the Duke of Lu 'ai (479 BC). Why is a book of history so highly praised? Because it was no one else who revised it, it was Confucius, the founder of Confucianism.
The language of the book "Spring and Autumn" is very concise, to what extent is "Jane", basically only a few things are recorded every year, and each thing has only one sentence. For example, one of the passages: "In the spring of the first year, the king is on the first month, and the prince is on the throne." In March, the guild Zheng Bo yu chui, Zheng Bo with bi false Xu Tian. Xia April Ding Wei, Gong and Zheng Bomeng YuYue. Autumn, big water. Winter October. "A year is so remembered, without accounting for the causes and consequences, nor saying the merits or demerits."
What's so nice about that? This brings us to the background of the book, when "the Zhou Dao is in decline... The tradition of honoring etiquette was abolished, so Confucius "refrained from self-denial" and wrote "Spring and Autumn". Confucius lamented the collapse of the liturgy and wrote this book to warn the world. "Spring and Autumn" records many negative examples, such as killing the father, killing the king, perfidy, etc., in order to warn those who are chaotic and thieves, so there is a saying that "Confucius is the Spring and Autumn Festival, and the chaotic subjects and thieves are afraid".
Sima Qian praised the Spring and Autumn Classic: "Fu Chunqiu, the way of the three kings of the Upper Ming Dynasty, the discipline of the lower braids, don't be suspicious, know right and wrong, determine Judah, good and evil, the virtuous and the unworthy, survive and perish the country, inherit the world, abolish the ruin, and the great one of the royal way." "Spring and Autumn" writes out the negative examples, so those who are courtiers must read "Spring and Autumn" more, so that they can understand what to do correctly.
Guan Erye is the representative of loyalty and righteousness, advocating "benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith", and has the long-cherished wish of Kuang Fu Han Room, and it is not contrary to love to read "Spring and Autumn". However, because the Spring and Autumn Period is too important, but it is too concise, posterity wrote three books to explain the Spring and Autumn, namely the three biographies of the Spring and Autumn, the "Left Transmission", the "Ram Biography" and the "Biography of Yu Liang", the most famous of which is the "Spring and Autumn Left Biography", which Guan Yu read.
Pei Songzhi's note "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" quotes the "Biography of Jiang Biao" as saying: "Yu Hao Zuo's biography, satire is slightly catchy. "Si Ren (Guan Yu) is long and studious, slightly catchy in reading the Zuo Zhuan, has a bright and majestic temperament, is quite conceited, and is very domineering." The "Zuo Zhuan" has many detailed descriptions of the war, which is equivalent to the example of Sun Tzu's Art of War, so most of the people who like this book are military generals, and even at that time, it was widely rumored that this book was written by the famous general Wu Qi.
Therefore, Guan Yu read "Spring and Autumn" not only to learn the art of war, but to remind himself at all times to be loyal, to distinguish between right and wrong, to understand the great righteousness, and to be righteous and thin!
