"Historically, Zhou Yu was indeed a handsome man, and he was very talented and not short-tempered as described in the novel. "Three Kingdoms" said that "(Zhou) Yu was strong and handsome. "It can be seen that he is similar to Ji Kang in that they are both tall and muscular. There are very few praises for people's appearance in "Three Kingdoms", such as Zhao Yun, etc. are not mentioned. To say that Zhou Yu is "beautiful", he must be quite handsome.

The following is what some people and history books say about Zhou Yu:

Sun Quan: "Gong Jin was heroic, courageous and capable, so he defeated Meng De and opened up Jingzhou, making it difficult for Miao Yan to succeed. , you will follow it now. ...Ziming... is knowledgeable and clever, and can be second to Gong Jin, but his ability to speak and discuss is not as good as his ears." "I am not an emperor like Gong Jin of Zhou." Now my life is suddenly short, so why do I have to rely on myself? "

Jiang Qian: "Elegance and magnanimity are beyond words. "

Liu Bei: "Gong Jin is a civil and military strategist. He is a hero of ten thousand people. Considering his vast weapons, I am afraid that he will become the subject of others soon." ”

Sun Ce: “I have a good friend, Xie Ye”, “Zhou Gongjin is handsome and talented. Just like before in Danyang, people and ships were sent to support important events, and virtue was rewarded for merit, but this was not enough repayment. ”

Chen Shou: “To build a decisive mind and stand out from others is to be a real genius.” ”

Lu Ji: “If you command the Dharma cultivator, you will be mighty and virtuous.” When the guests are well-known, Zhang Gong is the hero; when the emperor is in charge of the nobles, Zhou Yu is the hero. The two gentlemen are both smart and curious, elegant and intelligent. Therefore, those who are in the same direction are attached by analogy, and those who are similar are gathered by Qi. There are many scholars in Jiangdong. "

Xiao Chang: "Sun Ce conquered Liu Yao, helped him at Hengjiang, and defeated him greatly at Niuzhu. Zhou Yu attacked the Hengjiang River at Dangli and then crossed east to attack the Chaling Mountains. He then knew that he was in the north of the Yangtze River. Or it may be said: This is a great merit, and every time the words are simplified and ignored, the battle of Wulin is passed down alone. ”

Lu Bi: “Gongjin grew up in the Yangtze River and Huaihe River. He is familiar with the dangers. He goes in and out of Peng and Li. He has been wading in the waves for a long time. He is familiar with each other. He uses his ability to defeat the enemy with a small number, escapes Aha, and fights in a battle. And hegemony, Kejian Daxun, Xuande said that he was the master of civil and military strategy, the hero of ten thousand people, how can it be empty words. Or say: "If Gong Jin does not die, what worries about Cao? Will the late master be able to control Shu?"?

"Preface to the Praise of Famous Officials of the Three Kingdoms": "Gong Jin is outstanding, his ambition is unparalleled. The master of the general material is Su Qi with Bo Fu; the late Yao Qi is three points with Chibi. Unfortunately, he is young and his ambition is immeasurable...? Let's meet. Huan Huan and Wei Wu have great ambitions, and they rely on Zhuo Zhuoruo to fight. The three rays of light are divided, and the universe is temporarily separated." "Historical Commentary? Ancient Commentary? Lu Meng": "Wow! If Zhou Gongjin is here, his wisdom must be as good as this. I see his decisive plan to defeat Cao Cao and expand Jingzhou. Because he wants to advance into Bashu, he will join forces with Ma Chao to defeat Cao Cao. He took his right arm and returned it to Xiangyang to knead it. This was not something that anyone could do if he did not know how to do it. It would have been a serious danger to Cao Cao. Unfortunately, Sun Quan's title was not fulfilled and God took him away. Gu Qunchen said: "With Zhou Gongjin not here, I am no longer an emperor. "He also knows that Lü Meng's disciples are enough to protect one side, and all the geniuses in the world must be Gongjin."

"Zi Zhi Tong Jian Yin Annotation": "These words are called phase movements." However, Yu's words are not contrary to the righteousness, and Lu Su and Lu Meng are not as good as him."

"Anthology of the Three Kingdoms": "The plans for Jing and Yi, and the strategies for controlling Cao and Liu, are based on the opportunity and are truly heroic. "It's okay if Zhou Yu is here, but if there is no Yu, the power will not be able to stop Cao alone. Without Xuande, there will be no Wu Er, and Zijing's plan is not wrong."

"Three Kingdoms·Zhou Yu". "Biography": "With great character and great success... Cao Gong took advantage of the resources of the Han Prime Minister and used the emperor to wipe out the group of rebels... No one who discussed it at the time doubted it.

Zhou Yu, Lu Su Jian's decisiveness was outstanding, and he was truly a genius." It can be seen that both people at the time and later generations thought highly of Zhou Yu, especially Sun Quan who thought Zhou Yu was talented, Sun Ce who thought Zhou Yu was beautiful, and Liu Bei who thought Zhou Yu was big-hearted. Broad, in the novel, Zhou Yu is portrayed as a petty person in order to praise Liu and Zhuge Liang's wisdom.
