The dignified Guan Sheng Emperor was reduced to guarding the gates and courtyards for mortals. This should reflect the good style of being able to be considerate of the people's sentiments and be at one with the people despite being in a high position!
Guan Yu, a famous general in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, was the number one general under Liu Bei. He was superb in martial arts, capable of beheading handsome men and punishing ugly men. He was extremely resourceful and was able to flood seven armies and imprison him. The most talked-about thing about him is his loyalty. In order to meet his old master Liu Bei, he did not hesitate to put up a seal and seal gold, pass five passes and kill six generals and ride thousands of miles alone. His loyalty can summon the sun and the moon!
In order to commemorate Guan Yu, later generations deified him generation after generation, and his position also changed again and again, and he could bless more and more things.
I have seen the door gods before. The one with Guan Yu is Zhang Fei, but it is inexplicable why these two people can become the door gods. The door gods I know should be Qin Shubao and Yuchi, the subordinates of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty Li Shimin. male. From this it seems that the door gods may all be military generals and kill countless people, so they can be called door gods.
There are many shops that also serve Guan Yu. The inn in the very popular TV series "Wulin Gaiden" more than ten years ago served Guan Yu. If Zhang Fei is added to the list, it should be the same as Guan Zhang. Daji said this. When I was delivering food before, I also saw Guan Yu being served in KTV. I don’t know what it means.
Oh, by the way, I heard a teacher say on TV that some people used to regard Guan Yu as a barber. Maybe when they killed someone, they probably beheaded him.
There is nothing wrong with Guan Yu being respected by all the people, but he is really not a door god. After all, Liu Bei never asked Guan Yu to guard the door. If he had to find a door, it would be Jingzhou, which Guan Yu once guarded. It was regarded as the outsider of Shu Han. The door was opened, but Guan Yu, the goalkeeper, was not competent. Because before Liu Bei even sat on his butt in Xichuan, Guan Yu lost the door of Jingzhou. Not only that, he also took his own life.
So from this point of view, Guan Yu is not actually a competent doorkeeper, but after all, he is already a god, so it should not be a big problem for ordinary people like you and me to guard the door.
