Bai Xiaochang: Overcoming fear is also a good story

Bai Xiaochang: Overcoming fear is also a good story

Can't fold the river head willow more, have their own green pine cypress heart. The opening chapter still reminds everyone to pay attention to protection when traveling. At the end of the Han Dynasty, the world was turbulent, and countless people stood out from the chaos of war, but in the face of war, not everyone could get rid of fear, and there were those who were forced. This article will talk about Bai Xiaochang.

There are very few records of Bai Xiaochang, but it is mentioned in the "Spring and Autumn of Kyushu" quoted in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms And Du Raid", and because it is an interesting deed, it is also taken out to write a separate article. Bai Xiaochang served as the Gong cao of Nanyang County in the late Han Dynasty, and most of the people who served as gong cao during this period were people from this county or from honshu, so Bai Xiaochang should be a person from Jingzhou.

The surname Bai Xiaochang is rare, and the "Genealogy of Ten Thousand Surnames" records a "Baihou Zi'an", in which it is mentioned that he was a Wuyang person in Yingchuan, Yuzhou, and Guan Ning, a famous scholar at the end of the Han Dynasty, also studied "Spring and Autumn" with him. The "Genealogy of Ten Thousand Surnames" itself was written very late, and the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms Zhang Zhao" mentions a "Baihou Zi'an" who Zhang Zhao studied the "Spring and Autumn of the Zuo Clan" with him, which may be a contradiction in the record, or it may be a transfer of flowers and trees. In addition, Sima Yi had a "Lady Bai", who was quite favored in Sima Yi's later years, and was also a rare figure surnamed Bai during the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty.

Little studious, good at lishu, from Baihou Zi'an to "Zuo Shi Chunqiu", reading all the books, and Lang Yu, the king of the East China Sea, famous and friendly - "Three Kingdoms Chronicles Zhang Zhao Biography"

In the sixth year of Jian'an (201), Liu Biao sent 10,000 people to attack Xi'eè, and Du Raid, who was the governor of Xi'e at the time, gathered more than 50 people to defend the city, including officials and civilians. This record is also quite magical, Du Xun relied on such a small number of people to work together to defend Xi'e.

"Hui Jingzhou will march out and ride ten thousand people to attack the city, and attack the county officials who will summon more than fifty people who refuse to defend, and swear an oath with them" - "Romance of the Three Kingdoms , Du Raid Biography"

Bai Xiaochang, who was then serving as Gongcao of Nanyang County, was also in Xi'e City, but he was not involved in the defense of the city at first, and as soon as he heard the sound of war drums in the "Notes on the Water Classics", he cowered at home, not only closed the door but also covered his head in a quilt. This war of enemies and widows will undoubtedly bring great pressure to people, and it is in this oppressive atmosphere that Bai Xiaochang's mentality collapses.

"Xi Liu Biao's attack on Du Zixu in Xi'eye, Gong Cao BaiXiao heard the sound of war drums, was afraid and closed his house, was covered by self-covering, gradually ascended to the city and watched, and his words were brave and could be learned" - "Notes on the Water Classics"

However, Bai Xiaochang slowly adapted to this atmosphere, and he only slightly lifted the quilt after half a day of fighting between the two sides, and the next day he could stand in the house and listen to the sound of the soldiers fighting. It was not until the third day that he went out to understand the situation of the battle, and on the fifth or sixth day he dared to personally enter the city to fight. When Bai Xiaochang adapted to the battlefield, he said to Du Xun, "Courage can be learned", and it turns out that bravery can also be learned. If Bai Xiaochang has been closed, then he will only be ridiculed by the world, and may not have the opportunity to leave his name in the annals of history, and it is this process of transformation that makes him look very special.

"Attack each other for half a day, and dare to come forward a little." It is clear, standing on its side and listening. On the second day, I went out to ask for news. On the fourth or fifth day, Nai is even more negative and pro-fighting, and the words are said: 'Courage can be learned.' ——"Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Biography of Du Raid" notes "Spring and Autumn in Kyushu"

If there is any omission, we hope to add it.
