The Four Great Martial Saints of China

The four great martial sages of China are: Xiang Yu and Guan Yu

1. Xiang Yu.

The ancients' evaluation of Xiang Yu - "The bravery of Yu is unparalleled throughout the ages." Many people throughout the dynasties have commented on Xiang Yu and spoke highly of him. Seeing Jiangdong's elders without face, Wujiang committed suicide. The classic love story with Yu Ji is still praised by people. Looking at today's film and television dramas, there are many versions of TV dramas and movies about Xiang Yu, which shows that future generations love him.

2. Guan Yu.

Guan Yu himself was a very loyal person, he kept his word, and he was sworn friends with Liu Bei and Zhang Fei in Taoyuan, and he is still praised by people today. Nowadays, many people place bronze statues of Guan Yu in their homes, worshiping him like a god.

3. Bai Qi.

Bai Qi is known as the "God of Killing" and made great contributions to Qin's unification of the six countries. He had great achievements in defeating the Wei-Korean coalition forces in the Battle of Yiqian and capturing Yingcheng, the capital of Chu State. In the Battle of Changping, he severely damaged the main force of Zhao State.

Bai Qi served as a general of Qin for more than 30 years, attacking more than 70 cities and annihilating nearly a million enemy troops. He is also the first of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period. Unfortunately, in the Battle of Changping, Bai Qi faced the armchair Zhao Kuo instead of Lian Po, so that future generations will not be able to see the classic peak showdown.

4. Ran Min

This one may not be as well-known as the above three. He was the founder of the Ran Wei regime during the Sixteen Kingdoms period. According to historical records, countless Hu people were massacred by him, causing the Hu people to flee Zhao one after another. This dealt a huge blow to the Hu people who brutally treated the Han people, and gained a glimmer of space for the Han people to survive in the north. Therefore, many people call him a Chinese national hero who turned the tide.

Guan Yu’s anecdotes and allusions:

Guan Yu was shot by a stray arrow, and the arrow penetrated his left arm. Although the wound healed later, his arm bones often hurt in rainy weather. The doctor said: "The arrow is poisonous, and its poison has penetrated into the bone. It is necessary to re-operate on the arm and scrape off the toxin on the arm bone to completely eliminate this patient."

Guan Yu immediately stretched out his hand. He asked doctors to perform surgery on his arm. At that time, Guan Yu was inviting the generals to drink and have a meal. The knife on his arm was dripping with blood, and it covered the plate underneath. However, Guan Yu was cutting meat and drinking wine, talking and laughing with everyone. This is an allusion to scraping bones to cure poison. "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" develops this story as Guan Yu asking Hua Tuo to scrape his bones to cure the poison, while he calmly played chess with Ma Liang on the sidelines.
