The reason why Zhou Yu was belittled

Chen Yidong's passage in the book "Three Points of Gossip" is very reasonable. He said that Zhou Yu "is a person who is loyal to the Sun family; Friends are forgiving; they have unique plans; they are popular; they have a good reputation; they are beautiful; their wives are even more beautiful...Those mediocre people feel ashamed of themselves and are inevitably jealous of Yu's prestige, so Cao Gong Liu Beixian. If you want to doubt him, "Cao Cao and Liu Bei are like this. No ordinary people in later generations have seen such a perfect figure. The most important thing is that Zhou Yu joined the Sun Wu Group. Neither Cao Cao's orthodoxy nor Liu Bei's orthodoxy, the Sun family can only be regarded as a local separatist force and will not receive high treatment in any dynasty in later generations. How can Zhou Yu, a figure from other groups with such a high status, deal with himself? So they insisted on smearing some mud on Zhou Yu's originally perfect face. Not to mention other things, they thought that Zhou Yu must be very proud and complacent to be so successful at such a young age. He must be so young and energetic when he is so confident when he is successful at a young age. Although Zhou Yu in history was not young when he was in charge of important events, and he was the most humble and polite, in the story of Three Kingdoms, he is already a representative of pride and complacency, because in the eyes of ordinary people, such an outstanding figure, In addition, he is young and successful, so it would be strange not to be proud. No matter how Zhou Yu wants to be rehabilitated today, it will be difficult for him to do so because he is young and energetic. Because Zhou Yu's aggressive strategic style, fearless heroism and his humble and submissive personality are really contradictory. Sometimes I feel that Zhou Yu in the history books is a bit...perfect. Perhaps with the fact that he is young and vigorous, he looks more lively and spiritual, more like a living person, but then he is no longer perfect. Zhou Yu was belittled and distorted more, of course, in the novel. In order to beautify Zhuge Liang, the first male protagonist in the novel, Luo Guanzhong can be said to have spent a lot of effort. Because apart from Zhuge Liang's achievements after Liu Bei's death, except for one mission to Soochow before that, the rest of his work was to manage food and grass for Liu Bei to feed and feed his troops. It would not take any extraordinary measures to elevate him. So I can only feel sorry for Zhou Yu. Besides, as mentioned before, Zhou Yu is a big stumbling block to the development and growth of Liu Bei Group. The theme of the novel is respecting Liu. Who knows that Zhou Yu once had trouble with Liu Bei, so you should be sorry. And Zhou Yu is so outstanding and his credit is so great, taking away some of his credit will be enough to make Zhuge Liang's image look better. In addition, Zhou Yu is so perfect and makes people jealous the most. Now you can also experience the discomfort of being jealous of others! And if someone who is jealous of someone as capable as you is, isn’t his capability as great as the ocean? So I don’t need to say more about the rest: Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang, who had no problems in history, became incompatible rivals. Zhuge Liang took away Zhou Yu’s achievements and his excellent character. After all, they actually wanted to take away his life. They didn't let him go when Zhou Yu died. They forced him to say the famous saying "When Yu is born, how can Liang be born?" and forced Zhou Yu to smear Zhuge Liang's face again before he died. Some powder. Luo Guanzhong was too cruel to Zhou Yu! The good Zhou Lang not only had some mud smeared on his face, but also wore a big mud mask and was completely unrecognizable. But this is a novel after all, and Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang in it are just literary images, and the novel uses Zhou Yu to set off Zhuge Liang, which is still successful in shaping the characters. Although Zhou Yu has become a different person, there is still a bit of beauty in him. This is because the original Zhou Yu was too good. Although he has been distorted and ugly, his beautiful essence cannot be erased. Moreover, we cannot ignore this point: Zhou Yu is seven years older than Zhuge Liang. At that time, Zhuge Liang just came to Soochow for help for Liu Bei. How could a handsome and famous Soochow general be jealous of a junior who had done nothing and was just starting out? ?
