The Death of You Heng, a famous scholar of the Eastern Han Dynasty: The most tragic murder with a knife

You Heng behaved obediently and out of line, and humiliated Cao Cao naked.

You Heng (173-198) was a famous scholar at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

You Heng is a man of flamboyant personality and arrogance. He died at a young age, and throughout the ages, it is generally believed that he was killed by Cao Cao with a knife.

You Heng showed outstanding talent when he was a teenager, his memory was very good, he never forgot, he was good at writing articles, and he was good at debate. However, his bad temper also seems to be innate, impatient, arrogant, grotesque, and he scolds people at every turn, thus offending many people. Such a figure lived in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the world was in turmoil and the warlords divided the monopoly, so his tragic fate was doomed.

In order to seek career opportunities, you heng came to Xudu, where humanities gather, in his early 20s. He had written a cover letter, but because he looked down on anyone, the cover letter was in his pocket, and the handwriting was so worn that it was not clear and did not come in handy.

At that time, Xu du was the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, with celebrities and talents, and many celebrities in the world were concentrated here, but You Heng, who had a very high self-esteem and did not want to be in the same stream, could not look at any of them. Someone advised him to befriend the great general Sima Lang, but he said very harshly, "How can I be with a person who kills pigs and sells wine!" He also advised him to pay homage to Shang Shu Ling Xun Yu and the general Zhao Zhichang, and he replied: "Xun Moubai has a good appearance, if you are mourning, you can borrow his face to use it; Zhao Mou was a wine bag and rice bag, so he had to ask him to go to the kitchen to invite guests. ”

The trail of the waves is not nothing. Later, You Heng finally made two friends, one was Kong Rong, a descendant of Confucius, and the other was Yang Xiu, a disciple of an official eunuch. Probably because they are equally talented and smell the same, the three of them are not only more talkative, but also very appreciative of each other. For example, Kong Rong called You Heng "Yan Hui Immortal", and You Heng called Kong Rong "Zhongni Resurrection".

Kong Rong wrote a "Table of Recommendations for You Heng" and solemnly recommended You Heng to Cao Cao. But You Heng didn't know what the reason was that he said he was sick and refused to go. Perhaps this is the so-called famous teacher style in the Wei and Jin dynasties. For example, Zhuge Liang, before going out of the mountain, had to make a Liu Beisan Gu Maolu, which probably belonged to the pendulum of the celebrities.

Cao Cao was a generation of tyrants.

Cao Cao made You Heng a drummer and humiliated You Heng in this way, but instead was humiliated by You Heng's naked drumming, which is a wonderful chapter in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

With Your Heng's personality, he looked down on Cao Cao and even insulted Cao Cao, which was in line with the logic of Your Heng's personality. Cao Cao was angry, but Cao Cao did not kill You Heng. Cao Cao was not a master of casual killing, and Cao Cao killed Kong Rong because Kong Rong's existence hindered his political strategy.

Cao Cao must have hated You Heng. He was not bothered by sight, so Cao Cao sent You Heng to Liu Biao, the mu of Jingzhou.

You Heng has always been the first in the world of Lao Tzu, and he is also very contemptuous of Liu Biao.

Liu Biao was a kind man and did not want to clash with him head-on, so Liu Jingzhou sent him to Jiangxia Taishou Huangzu.

Wufu Huangzu, angrily killed You Heng.

Huang Zu was a warrior, and at a banquet, You Heng was disrespectful, and Huang Zu killed him in anger at the age of twenty-six.

When You Heng was in Jiangxia, he once befriended Huang Zu's son and wrote "Parrot Fu", one of the representative works of Han Fu. When Huang Zu's son Huang Zhi held a guest meeting, someone presented a parrot, and Huang Shoot gave You Heng a glass of wine and said: "You virgin, there is nothing that can be used to entertain guests at today's conference, I personally think that this bird has come from afar, Ming Xuan is good, is a very precious kind of birds, I hope that Mr. Huang will make a gift for it, so that the four seats can be glorified, do you think it is okay?" ”

You Heng then gave it to him, and for a while the pen did not stop, the text did not add points, and the words were very beautiful, and the parrot island got its name.

Parrot Island is famous because of the Tang Dynasty poet Cui Hao more than 400 years later. Cui Hao's sentence "Qingchuan calendar Hanyang tree, yerba buena parrot island" made parrot island famous ever since.
