Through the dissemination of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", zhang Yide, a Yan person in public perception, is always a posture of "black clothes, black horse and black face", and he is still rampant until the moment before his death, and he ranks second in the "Five Tigers of Shu Han", and throughout his life he is not only reckless and violent, but also a typical representative of courage and strategy.
However, all this is only a written portrayal of the character image, after all, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is the creative background of "three points of truth and seven points of virtuality", Yanren Zhang Fei is a famous general of the Three Kingdoms that exists in real history, but as a generation of famous generals, he is also more or less "blackened" by some literati and inkers.
Folk have always been rumored to be "buried in Yunyang, buried in Langzhong", referring to the fact that Zhang Fei was hated by the two of them for whipping Fan Jiang Zhang Da, and under the premise that there was no way to build enough armor within expectations, the two were forced to risk death to assassinate Zhang Fei, and then threw his head into the river, and then floated down the river into the Yunyang area and was found by fishermen, and at this moment Zhang Fei's body was still in Langzhong, so the origin of this statement is.
The interval between Langzhong and Yunyang is not very far, before Zhang Fei has been guarding the town in langzhong for seven years, the real history of Zhang Fei in the town of Langzhong, has always been to protect the border and the people, never fish meat township. Not only that, Zhang Fei during the Zhenshou Langzhong period also defeated Zhang Gao with his loyal and courageous strategy, and for a while it was rumored as a good story by the neighbors in the township.
Because of its reputation for loving the people and being loyal, the people spontaneously organized themselves to build a temple dedicated to incense after their death, known in history as "Huanhou Ancestral Hall". The tomb of Zhang Fei, which is now listed as a national key protected cultural relic, is located in the ancestral hall.
After more than a thousand years, Zhang Fei's tomb and Zhang Fei's ancestral hall have been destroyed countless times, but fortunately, the rulers of successive dynasties have used Zhang Fei's "loyalty" to educate the world, so this has enabled Zhang Fei's tomb and Zhang Fei's ancestral hall to last for more than a thousand years without fading.
In 1985, considering the extent of the destruction of Zhang Fei's tomb, a group of experts began a rescue excavation of Zhang Fei's tomb, and it was precisely because of this excavation that the cultural relics unearthed changed the public's general understanding of "Zhang Fei in literary works".
With the beginning of the excavation project, some of the remaining cultural relics in Zhang Fei's tomb were also listed one by one, in the face of these excavated cultural relics in front of them, the experts did not show any inconceivability, but the excavation staff and the surrounding crowd were stunned, "This tomb should not be dug wrong, right?" ”
It turns out that all the paintings and calligraphy works unearthed from the tomb are all finished paintings and calligraphy works, so it is no wonder that the public's perception of Zhang Fei will be subverted in a short time! Just as the so-called "Zhang Fei wears a needle, thick and fine", from the perspective of these finished paintings and calligraphy, Zhang Fei is indeed a literati rioter, and the real Zhang Fei in history is indeed a typical literati.
Judging from the excavated calligraphy works and inscriptions, Zhang Fei's calligraphy can be described as penetrating the back of the paper, not only strong and powerful on the book paper, but even the inscriptions unearthed later are also quite skilled. In addition, there are many "beauty" paintings in the tomb, and many people at that time questioned this, "Maybe these are not Zhang Fei's autographs, but his collection before his death." ”
In response to this, many writers and historians have come forward in time to respond that Zhang Fei is undoubtedly a famous general of the Three Kingdoms generation, but he is also a literati who is excellent in calligraphy and painting. As we all know, Zhang Fei was born in Zhuo County, but he loved literature since he was a child, and he was able to read and hyphenate beyond the ordinary at a young age, which was unmatched by other partners of the same age.
In this way, the humble general Zhang Fei fell down with a Confucian style.
In addition, experts also found a painting on the wall of Zhang Fei's tomb that can be called "amazing", that is, Zhang Fei's self-portrait. Zhang Fei on the screen, a change in the general perception of "leopard head ring eyes, swallow jaw tiger whiskers", the whole person looks white from beginning to end, from the appearance is absolutely comparable to Zhou Yu, who is like a crown jade.
For this self-portrait of Zhang Fei, experts are still full of doubts, and the people now maintain two views: one is true and the other is false. Among them, people who think that the portrait is true say that if Zhang Fei is really as rude as depicted in literary works, then how could he possibly marry the beautiful Xiahou Clan, and how could his two daughters later marry Liu Bei, so it seems that Zhang Fei's appearance is actually not bad.
On the contrary, people who think that the portrait is fake said that since Zhang Fei is a real calligraphy double-perfect general, it is very likely that he is in order to make up for his ugly appearance and make it match the elegant image of the literati who is both calligraphy and double-perfect, so he deliberately left a self-portrait on his tomb wall with a crown jade, so as to enrich his perfect image in the eyes of future generations.
No matter what Zhang Fei's appearance is, after all, his appearance cannot shake his strength in calligraphy and painting, and experts have also confirmed that Zhang Fei can indeed write and paint, which can greatly improve Zhang Fei's image in the general cognition of the Chinese people.
