Preamble:
Since ancient times, many military generals with outstanding martial arts and outstanding military achievements have emerged in Chinese history, and their heroic deeds have been praised by future generations and have become a beautiful scenery in the long river of history. Among these outstanding generals, some of them are even respected as "martial saints" and have become models and examples in the minds of future generations. So, what kind of people are qualified to become "martial saints"? How do you judge whether a person is worthy of this title? In the long river of history, who are the real "martial saints"?
1. What kind of person is qualified to become a "martial saint"?
Since ancient times, the word "martial saint" has always been a quality that the Chinese nation yearns for, and to become a real "martial saint", it is not easy to obtain it by virtue of a peerless martial arts, but also needs to have outstanding performance in many aspects. First of all, one's martial arts must reach the point of perfection, be able to be invincible on the battlefield, and make outstanding achievements. Secondly, it is also necessary to have excellent strategic vision and command skills, to be able to change in the midst of thousands of troops, defuse the enemy's attack, and finally achieve victory. In addition, moral integrity is also one of the important criteria for judging the "martial saint", and only with noble character and firm belief can we win the support and trust of soldiers and people. The most important thing is that the "Martial Saint" also needs to have a far-reaching influence on the course of history, and his every move can affect the development direction of the entire era and become a beautiful scenery in the long river of history.
2. Who are the people in history who are qualified to become "martial saints"?
In the long history of China, there are many military generals whose deeds have been praised by later generations, and their heroic deeds can be called the model of "martial saints". For example, Huo Qubing in the Western Han Dynasty, he not only had outstanding martial arts, but also made great achievements in the Xiongnu War, and made great contributions to the expansion of the territory of the Han Dynasty. In addition, there are also Guan Yu, Yue Fei and others, they are invincible on the battlefield, have made great achievements, and also have noble ethics in terms of morality, won the love of soldiers and people, and are also popular candidates for "martial saints".
3. The factors of the times are also an important criterion for judging the "Martial Saint".
When selecting the "Martial Saint", in addition to personal martial arts, military exploits and morality, the factor of the times is also a very important criterion. For example, Li Jing is a good example, the Tang Dynasty in which he lived lasted for nearly three centuries, was a very prosperous era, and under the rule of Tang Taizong, the culture of the Central Plains was greatly developed, and the influence on later generations was also far-reaching and long-lasting. As a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing not only has outstanding martial arts and strategic vision, but also made great achievements and stabilized the overall situation in the Anshi Rebellion, which can be said to be an outstanding meritorious service. Therefore, compared with other "Martial Saint" candidates, Li Jing's background of the times is more important, and he is more likely to become the final candidate of "Martial Saint".
Fourth, political sense and the ability to avoid being too prominent are also important.
In addition, one's political sense and ability to avoid being too prominent or even suffering misfortune should also be important factors in the selection of "martial saints". In the ancient feudal society, the political struggle of the imperial court was very fierce, and many meritorious generals could not escape the fate of being excluded and killed, for example, Yue Fei is a good example, although he has outstanding martial arts and strategic vision, but because the credit is too great, it caused the jealousy of the then prime minister Qin Hui, and finally was wrongfully convicted and died in prison. Therefore, a real "martial saint" must know how to hide his edge and avoid being too prominent, and at the same time, he also needs to have a keen political sense and be able to navigate the political struggle in the court and protect his own safety.
Fifth, family background and origin also have a certain influence on becoming a "martial saint".
In addition, family background and origin are also a relatively sensitive topic, which often has a certain impact on whether a person is qualified to become a "martial saint". In ancient feudal societies, when imperial power was supreme, the emperor would often title those who were conducive to consolidating his dominance as "martial saints", and demote those who posed a threat to him as "loyal ministers and good generals", for example, Yue Fei and Qin Hui were a strategy used by Song Gaozong to consolidate their position, but they eventually became victims of tragedy. Therefore, when selecting the "Martial Saint", the family background and background must be cautious, and should not be regarded as the emperor's political pawn, but should really have the qualities and abilities required to become a "Martial Saint".
Epilogue:
To sum up, the title of "Martial Saint" is not easy to obtain, it contains rich connotation and historical precipitation, only in martial arts, military exploits, morality and influence and other aspects have reached a very high standard, can be qualified to become a "Martial Saint", will be remembered forever by future generations. At the same time, when selecting the "Martial Saint", it is also necessary to take into account the factors of the times, political sense and family background, etc., and cannot one-sidedly pursue personal bravery and military exploits, while ignoring the objective laws of history. I hope that through our joint efforts, we can find more candidates who are qualified to become "martial saints", and we can also let future generations see the excellent traditional culture and spiritual values of the Chinese nation in them.
