Is Zhou Yu really so good-looking in history? Is Sun Ce a genius or a reckless man? Let's take a look at first-hand information - what the historical records say.
Zhou Yu: Don't deliberately play the wrong tune again!
Zhou Yu (175–210), also known as Zhou Lang, was a native of Shu County, Lujiang County (present-day Lujiang County, Anhui), a famous general in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, born in the Lujiang Zhou clan, the son of Luoyang Ling Zhou Yi, and a duguan to the imperial lieutenant.
As a famous general in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the famous Zhou Yu has appeared in many games, compared to Zhou Yu's courage and resourcefulness in "burning chibi", everyone is most relishing Zhou Yu's appearance.
Whether it is "Glory of Kings" and "Dream Three Kingdoms" as the main controlling role, or the "background board" in the farming game "There is a Family in the Depths of Taoyuan", Zhou Yu's image is a beautiful man. In fact, the historical Zhou Yu is also "strong and beautiful", which can be called the ancient version of "rich and handsome".
In addition to the "Yu Chang strong and beautiful" recorded in the "Records of the Three Kingdoms", the "Legend of Jiang Biao" said that Zhou Yu was "young and beautiful", and later generations also continued to praise his beauty. For example, Su Shi of the Song Dynasty in "Niannujiao Chibi Huaigu": "Lupine scarf, between conversation and laughter, the tree is dusty." "What a heroic gesture! The Song Dynasty poet Fan Chengda also praised him as "a heroic man in the world, and a beautiful husband of Jiangzuo".
There is also a famous saying about Zhou Yu: "The song is wrong, Zhou Lang Gu." This sentence comes from Chen Shou's "Three Kingdoms Zhi Wushu Zhou Yu Biography" of the Jin Dynasty, which recorded: "Yu Shao is refined in music, although after the Third Jue, there are mistakes, Yu must know it, know it must be taken care of, so some people say: 'The song is wrong, Zhou Lang Gu.'" ’”
The effect is that Zhou Yu is proficient in musical rhythm, even if he drinks, if there is a mistake when playing, he can't hide it from his ears, so Zhou Yu looks at the player and reminds him. Therefore, there was a ballad at that time: "There is a mistake in the song, Zhou Lang Gu." ”
Tang Dynasty Li Duan has the poem "Listening to the Kite": "Ming the zither golden millet pillar, in front of the jade room." If you want to get Zhou Lang Gu, you always flick the string by mistake. "It is about the woman who plays, deliberately plucking the wrong strings in order to let Zhou Lang see more.

Zhou Yu is often called "Zhou Lang", and also wrote the "Three Kingdoms Zhi Zhou Yu Biography", "is the year, Jian'an three years also." Ce personally greeted Yu and awarded Jianwei Zhonglang the general, that is, with 2,000 soldiers and 50 horses. Yu was twenty-four years old, and Wu Zhong was called Zhou Lang. According to expert research, during the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, the character "lang" was added after the surname as a good name, but it was only treated by young and handsome and talented people. Not only young talents, but also good-looking, such as Sun Ce at the same time, also known as "Sun Lang".
Sun Ce: Disfigured, I don't want to live...
Sun Ce (175–200), courtesy name Bofu, was a native of Fuchun, Wu Commandery (present-day Fuyang District, Hangzhou, Zhejiang), the eldest son of the general Sun Jian and the eldest brother of Sun Quan, the emperor of Wu.
As another outstanding talent of Zhou Yu's contemporary, Sun Ce was an important pioneer and founder of Sun Wu's forces during the reign of the Three Kingdoms, and established brilliant achievements and achievements. He has also appeared in games such as "Codename: Kite" and "Three Kingdoms Kill" many times, and is loved by players. Similar to Zhou Yu, Sun Ce is not only a hearty and handsome young man in the game, but also a "male god" character with high appearance in real history.
It is recorded in the "Three Kingdoms Zhi Sun Ce Biography", "Sun Ce is a person, beautiful in appearance, funny, broad in nature, and good at using people." "Beautiful appearance", a word that seems to be used to describe women, is used on Sun Ce, which shows that Sun Ce is indeed very good-looking.
However, while Sun Ce has a good-looking face, his momentum is also heroic. It is recorded in the "Records of the Three Kingdoms": "Heroic and heroic, fierce crown, strange, Zhiling in the middle of summer." This means that Sun Ce is bold, outstanding, sharp, and likes to win by surprise, aiming to unify China. Such a spirited Sun Ce is opposite to the "Little Bully of Jiangdong" in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
According to historical records, Sun Ce died young, and was assassinated when he went out hunting at the age of 26. There is also a story about his death that seems ironic today.
Pei Songzhi's "Notes on the Three Kingdoms" quotes the "Wu Li" to record: "The strategy is created, the medical word can be cured, be a good self-protector, and do not move for 100 days." The self-portrait of the guide mirror said: 'With such a face, can you still restore the meritorious achievements?' Several great struggles, the genesis is divided, and its night pawn. ”
After Sun Ce was injured, the doctor told him that the injury could be treated, but it should be well cared for, and there should be no strenuous activity or anger for 100 days. Sun Ce took the mirror to look at himself and said to the people left and right: "The face has become like this, how can you make a contribution!" So he rose up and roared loudly, the wound burst open, and he died that night.

A generation of overlords died in this way, on the one hand, it can be seen that Sun Ce is indeed beautiful and cherishes his appearance very much; On the other hand, it also shows that Sun Ce has a violent personality, and the evaluation recorded in "Three Kingdoms: Sun Ce's Biography" is pertinent and appropriate.
Big Qiao, Little Joe: Do you deserve to be unlucky if you look good?
In addition to Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's appearance being hotly discussed, their wives - Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao are also popular characters in related games. As the saying goes, since ancient times heroes with beauty, for heroes, while achieving fame, there are beautiful people to accompany, "double harvest of career and love", may be a great joy in the world. But for beauty, maybe it's not a good thing.
Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, a native of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, surnamed Qiao, a native of Lujiang Anhui County (present-day Qianshan, Anhui), are the two daughters of the Duke of Qiao, and are said to be extremely beautiful.
According to the "Records of the Three Kingdoms": "Strategize to take Jingzhou, with Yu as the central escort, leading Jiang Xia to defend, from attacking Anhui, pulling it." Shide Qiaogong's two daughters are both national colors. Tsezina Bridge, Yuna Bridge. ”
In the fourth year of Jian'an (199), Sun Ce wanted to attack Jingzhou, and worshipped Zhou Yu as the central protector, and concurrently served as the taishou of Jiangxia (governing the west of Xinzhou, Hubei), and accompanied the army to conquest. In December, Sun Ce led Zhou Yu and others to attack the city of Anhui and captured Yuan Shu, Liu Xun's family, and their male and female relatives. Among them, the two daughters of Qiao Gong are both national colors and heavenly postures. Sun Ce self-absorbed Big Qiao, Zhou Yuna Xiao Qiao.
"Three Kingdoms Zhi Wu Zhi Zhou Yu Biography" quotes the "Jiang Biao Biography" to record that Ce calmly plays Yu: "Although the two daughters of the Duke of Qiao are displaced, it is enough to have the two of them as sons-in-law. "
After getting the two stunning beauties of Xiaoqiao, Sun Ce also joked to Zhou Yu: "Qiaogong's two daughters, although they have endured the hardships of war and displacement, (Qiaogong) is lucky enough to get our two sons-in-law." ”
Whether Big Qiao and Xiao Qiao followed Sun Ce and Zhou Yu well or not, we don't know, but the specific situation can be speculated from historical sources. The information of Big Qiao and Little Qiao recorded in the "Three Kingdoms" is only two short sentences above, and their birth and death years are unknown. And Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, one lived to be 25 years old and the other lived to be 35 years old, both died young. In that troubled time, the husband died early, and the possibility of his wife and family doing well was very small.
Therefore, most of the folk legends about Big Qiao and Little Qiao end miserably. There is a story that Da Qiao was so sad after Sun Ce's death that he even wanted to jump into the river to martyrdom, but Sun Ce told her to take care of her younger brother Sun Quan before he died, so Da Qiao could only endure the grief and try to survive to help Sun Quan stabilize Jiangdong. Later, after Sun Quan became emperor, Da Qiao no longer bothered with mundane affairs, and began to live in seclusion, widowed for the rest of his life. After Zhou Yu died of illness, Xiao Qiao was heartbroken, and since then he has not been able to leave the door, and finally died depressed.
Zhou Yu and Sun Ce were born in the same year, met and met when they were teenagers, and at the age of 21, Zhou Yu followed Sun Ce to pacify Jiangdong and made great achievements. After Sun Ce's death, Zhou Yu was entrusted to assist Sun Ce's brother Sun Quan for 10 years, laying a solid foundation for the development of Eastern Wu. Together, the two laid the foundation for the strength of Sun Wu's power.
From the perspective of Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, the story of heroic beauty is only an embellishment of their success, but for Big Qiao and Little Qiao, perhaps this beauty brings them more misfortune than blessing.
