Hating Guan Yu can't be like Zhang Fei. In fact, it's a pair of couplets that are meaningful to life. The whole couplet is like this: "Birds are in a cage, but you can't hate Guan Yu without Zhang Fei". This is the first couplet, and the second couplet is like this: "In life, you need Wukong if you want Eight Rings."
Guan Yu is like
The first half of this couplet means that a bird is locked in a cage, just like its wings are bound by people, and it has no freedom. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are used here to bring in Guan Yu's situation. The bound bird here refers to Guan Yu. The second half of the couplet means that people are born in the world, and time flies. We should not be too demanding in doing things. We should give ourselves some space and relax. Too much pursuit of perfection will only make us too tired. We should learn to take things as they are and leave some space for our lives. This is also a good way of life. The application of the names Bajie Wukong here has the same meaning as the first half. They all want to express what they want to express by borrowing the distinctive character of the characters. It's just that the Eight Rings here refer to the Eight Rings in Journey to the West, but Wukong is not the Monkey King. Wukong here means understanding.
This pair of couplets uses people familiar to the public in Four Great Classical Novels to make up a neat but humorous couplet, but the meaning of the couplet is to lament that life is alive and bound by various reasons, or that one's understanding is not enough to see some things, which makes one's life more tired. The general meaning is that I hope I can change my situation, but I can't. It's just a feeling. Guan Yu's weapon in history
What is Guan Yu's weapon in Romance of the Three Kingdoms? As we all know, it is the Dragon Crescent Moon Knife. The story of Guan Gong riding a red hare for thousands of miles and riding alone with this heavy long-handled broadsword has been circulated since ancient times, and it has become the most classic image of ancient heroes in China people's minds. However, is the real history really like this? An adult man weighing not less than 13 Jin, carrying a long-handled broadsword weighing not less than 8 Jin, rode on horseback. Did such a scene really happen during the Three Kingdoms period? The conclusion of modern scientific research is probably false.

In fact, the broadsword with long handle did not appear at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. This weapon first appeared in the Sui Dynasty and prevailed in the Tang and Song Dynasties. Because of its heavy weight, it is not easy to carry, so it is mostly not used when the two armies are at war. At most, it is used as a weapon for honor guards or military drills.
In the era of cold weapons, generally speaking, the weapons used in the battlefield against the enemy should be light and handy, which is conducive to the user's display of martial arts. Therefore, in this sense, although the Dragon Crescent Moon Blade conforms to the positioning of a hero, it may not be suitable for the battlefield against the enemy.
for example, in the biography of Guan Yu in the Three Kingdoms, there is a record about Guan Yu's beheading of Yan Liang: "Shao sent a general Yan Liang to attack Liu Yan, the satrap of the East County, and Tsao Gong made Zhang Liao and Yu as pioneers to attack him. When Yu saw the good cover, he rode his horse and stabbed it in the crowd. He beheaded it and returned it. He showed the generals what they could not do, so he solved the problem of Baimawei. " Through the word "stab", it is not difficult to see that the weapon used by Guan Yu can never be a "heavy weapon" like the dragon crescent moon blade, but it is more likely to be a light weapon such as a short knife or spear. Therefore, the story of Guan Yu and the dragon crescent moon blade is mostly invented by later generations. What does Guan Yu do?
We are all familiar with The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, especially for many fragments in it that tell us about brotherhood and chivalry. Among them, Guan Yu's Taoyuan Sanjieyi is a well-known fragment.
Guan Yu's image
The chapter of "Three Marriages in Taoyuan" tells that Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Liu Bei became sworn brothers because of their mutual affection. As we all know, before this, they were all unknown people and lived an ordinary life. The legendary life of the three of them also began with the three vows in Taoyuan.
Before, Zhang Fei was a pig butcher, while Liu Bei, who had the title of "caring for the humble abode", was just a basket maker. They all maintain their lives in this most common way. We already know what Zhang Fei and Liu Bei do, so what did Guan Yu do before the three vows in Taoyuan? Now let's take a look.
In fact, there is nothing in the books about what Guan Yu did before. But from some of his performances, we can still know what he does.
Guan Yu was originally born in a family of literati, but at that time, literati were not easy to survive. And we all know that when he fled later, Guan Yu had no money, so he sold dates all the way. We all know that he is on the run at the same time, so he naturally won't buy goods like other regular vendors, and of course he won't rob them. Isn't this an obvious exposure? So he had to fight by himself, and the dates he fought were being sold by himself. Because he fought by himself, this was a business without roots. Even Guan Yu, who didn't have the potential to be a businessman, still made a living. Therefore, Guan Yu's occupation is to sell goods. Sun Quan killed Guan Yu
In history, Guan Yu was finally killed by Sun Quan, which caused many people to dispute. Some people think that it is wrong for Sun Quan to kill Guan Yu, but who can say these things clearly?
Like Sun Quan
In that war-torn era, killing people like Sun Quan was really nothing. Who can guarantee that it will be better if Sun Quan falls into Guan Yu's hands? None of us can say for sure. However, history is history, and Guan Yu was the last to fail, and Guan Yu was also killed. In fact, when Guan Yu was caught, Sun Quan hesitated about whether to kill him or not. When Guan Yu was caught, Sun Quan's counselors immediately reflected their own ideas, thinking that Guan Yu could not be killed, and should persuade him to surrender. He also said a lot about his own understanding, but Sun Quan decided to kill Guan Yu after several thoughts. So why on earth is this? Guan Yu is such a great man, and he is so brave. Isn't it better to surrender? Why kill him?
First of all, Guan Yu is Liu Bei's brother, and their friendship is unusual. Let's not talk about whether we can persuade him to surrender. Let's say that Guan Yu is loyal to Liu Bei and bent on surrendering the Han Dynasty. You should know that Sun Quan was rebellious at that time, so did Guan Yu surrender himself?
In addition, Guan Yu is a man of great loyalty. He takes a fancy to his friendship with Liu Bei and Zhang Fei. With his character, he will never betray Liu Bei. Letting him go is tantamount to letting the tiger go back to the mountain. In the future, the two will still be together.
Finally, Jingzhou, which Guan Yu is responsible for guarding, is a treasure trove of geomantic omen, and owning this treasure trove has greatly improved Sun Quan's strength. Another is to kill Guan Yu and frame Cao Cao, then Liu Bei will definitely settle accounts with Cao Cao. He just takes advantage of it. It can be said that it is a number of things. Zhou Yu is afraid of Guan Yu
Zhou Yu is a rare wizard in the world, and he is proficient in temperament. "The song is wrong, Zhou Lang cares" means that he can still distinguish the music when he is drunk; He was able to dispatch troops to help Sun Ce defeat Liu You and gain Jiangdong in his early years. Later, he assisted Sun Quan, presided over military affairs, and helped Sun Shi stabilize local political power many times. The greatest contribution was to command Battle of Red Cliffs to defeat Cao Cao, thus laying the foundation for the three-thirds world situation. Unfortunately, when he died, he was very young, so he was jealous of talents.
Zhou Yu's portrait in Red Cliff
Guan Yu is Liu Bei's sworn second brother and general, and he has the courage of thousands of people. He fought many battles with Liu Bei. After Battle of Red Cliffs, Guan Yu was entrusted by Liu Bei to guard Jingzhou, the most complicated place. In 219 AD, Cao Cao ordered Cao Ren and Wei to rob Jingzhou. Guan Yu first defended, then took the initiative to attack, led soldiers, surrounded Fancheng, and defeated Cao Ren. After that, Cao Cao sent reinforcements to Yu Ban, and Guan Yu defeated Yu Ban and killed Pound by flooding. Later, Cao Cao sent Xu Huang, Zhang Liao and others to reinforce him, and Soochow Lv Meng came to sneak attack. Guan Yu was caught between Scylla and Charybdis, retreated to Maicheng, fled to lin ju, and was killed in ambush.
There was only one confrontation between Zhou Yu and Guan Yu. Zhou Yu tricked Liu Bei into going to Soochow on the grounds of marrying Sun Quan's sister, intending to put him under house arrest or kill him. Later, Liu Bei fled with Sun Quan's sister, and Zhou Yu came to chase Liu Bei himself. When he was about to catch up, Guan Yu suddenly jumped out of the mountain with a big knife in his hand, which was very scary. Zhou Yu quickly turned his horse's head and ran in the opposite direction. The whole world thought that this was Zhou Yu's fear of Guan Yu. In fact, he was not afraid of Guan Yu, but knew that Liu Bei had an ambush and was prepared. Liu Beiyou is on guard. Of course, Zhou Yu won't chase him. He must be walking back. Zhang Fei's ancient city called Guan Yu a two-part allegorical saying
Zhang Fei's ancient city called Guan Yu a two-part allegorical saying-misunderstanding, as everyone knows. Two-part allegorical saying is a special form of our language. Generally, one sentence is divided into two parts to express the last meaning. The first part is usually a story or a hidden metaphor, which will be explained later. Two-part allegorical sayings are gradually created in our daily life, with strong national characteristics and strong flavor of life.
Zhang Fei's stills
Two-part allegorical sayings are particularly humorous, which makes us feel interesting and is loved by all of us. There are many ancient two-part allegorical sayings circulating now. For example, Zhang Fei's ancient city called Guan Yu's two-part allegorical saying, which was extended from the story. Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are sworn brothers. At that time, when Zhang Fei was a county magistrate, he learned that Guan Yu had taken refuge in Cao Cao, so he was very sad and cursed Guan Yu for being heartless in the back garden.
when Cao Cao attacked Xiaopei, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei broke through by themselves in the melee, and Guan Yu was surrounded by Cao Cao to escort Liu Bei's family. Cao Cao cherished Guan Yu very much and wanted him to be used by himself, so he asked Zhang Liao to be a lobbyist, hoping that Guan Yu could be under his command. In order to ensure the safety of Liu Bei's family, Guan Yu can only pretend to surrender to Cao Cao for the time being for his use.
Cao Cao cherished Guan Yu very much and gave him all his red rabbits. At that time, Guan Yu helped Cao Cao to kill his opponent Liang Wen Chou in order to repay his kindness. Zhang Fei didn't know about these things, thinking that Guan Yu had completely forgotten the pledge of allegiance, surrendered to Cao Cao and betrayed his brother Liu Bei, so he scolded Guan Yu in the ancient city. This is a misunderstanding. Later, this story became a misunderstanding that Zhang Fei cursed Guan Yu.
