Probably the most popular among the four famous works is "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". It is not only widely circulated among the people, but also regarded as a strategy book by countries around the world. The saying "Reading the Three Kingdoms" is because we are afraid that people will become too accidental and calculating. Liu Bei's image in the Three Kingdoms is even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and his loyalty and kindness have won the hearts of the people. Liu Bei's life from weaving straw mats to becoming the emperor is very legendary. During this period, he also said many classic quotes, which have been passed down to this day and become the motto of many people.
Among them is a sentence: "Don't do evil because it is a small thing, and don't do good because it is a small thing. Only the virtuous and virtuous can obey others." The first half of this sentence has inspired countless future generations to behave in the world. The meaning of the principle is also simple and easy to understand. Don't do whatever you want just because the bad thing is small, and don't turn a blind eye to the good thing just because it is small. Only by doing good deeds will you gain the reputation of being a virtuous person. Only virtuous people can make people sincerely convinced. These words were Liu Bei's last words to his son Adou after he left his orphanage in Baidi City. It can be seen that Liu Bei placed deep expectations on Liu Chan, but Liu Chan did not let Liu Bei get his wish after all. Liu Chan doted on the eunuchs in his early days and had no interest in government affairs. Even capable ministers such as Zhuge Liang could not restore the Han Dynasty. In the later period, he was even more arrogant and extravagant, and finally got the title of "luckily thinking about Shu", which made Jiang Wei and others want to cry without tears. Liu Chan completely forgot his father's dying instructions. He did both small and big evils for the sake of evil, but did neither small or big good deeds. He lost his virtue and eventually lost his country.
Compared with Liu Bei's famous sayings about being upright and loyal, there is another sentence that is completely different from his image. The sworn friendship between Liu, Guan, and Zhang Taoyuan is a well-known story. The three brothers were inseparable day and night, which vividly reflected the sworn friendship in Jinlan. Guan Yu even traveled thousands of miles alone and went straight to Liu Huangshu without being swayed by the high official's generous salary. Zhang Fei, who had such a violent temper, was respectful and obedient to Liu Bei, which shows the sincerity and depth of the relationship between the three people. When Zhang Fei was guarding Xiaopei, Liu Bei went out to meet Yuan Shao. During this period, Lu Bu became king in Xuzhou. Zhang Fei was very disdainful and went crazy with wine and beat Lu Bu's henchmen. Finally, Lu Bu got angry and beat Zhang Fei out of Xiaopei. Zhang Fei came to Liu Bei overnight. When the camp told the whole story, thinking that Liu Bei's wife and children were still in the city, he burst into tears and wanted to kill himself with his sword. When Liu Bei saw this, he immediately grabbed the weapon and said a shocking and shocking saying: "Brothers are like brothers and feet, and wives are like clothes. The clothes are torn." "It can still be sewn; if the limbs are broken, can it be repaired?" As soon as these words came out, Zhang Fei fell to his knees and burst into tears.
Therefore, some people say that Liu Bei is loyal on the surface, but in fact he is hypocritical. He is a typical person who talks about people and ghosts. However, I think this sentence just reflects Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness. In the environment at that time, Zhang Fei was extremely conceited. As Zhang Fei's boss and eldest brother, Liu Bei said this unintentionally in order to better appease his brother. If there was a woman around him at that time, he would not have said this. In addition, Liu Bei was not strong enough at the time and would have struggled if he lost one of his generals. After weighing the pros and cons, he thought that he treated Lu Bu well. Lu Bu also had Chen Gong and other upright people around him who would definitely not offend women and children. Rescue could not be done in a moment. After arriving, the first task is to appease Zhang Fei and stabilize the morale of the army. Taking 10,000 steps back, if something unexpected happens to his wife and children, it will already be a heavy loss. If he loses another strong general, it will be a double loss. Liu Bei will naturally not make the same mistakes again and again if he wants to achieve great things. What do you guys think about this? You might as well leave a message below to discuss.
