Some people say that the story of the Three Kingdoms mainly talks about the affairs of the three countries, Wei, Shu and Wu. Wei, Shu, Wu. Actually, this statement is not very accurate. Think about it, Cao Cao, who is he? The prime minister of the Han Dynasty; who is Liu Bei of the Shu Kingdom? The emperor's uncle, cousin, is he called Uncle Liu Huang? Moreover, Sun Quan, the king of Wu, also received a reward from the emperor of the Han Dynasty that year.
The three of them nominally obeyed the orders of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. As a result, in your Romance of the Three Kingdoms, you only talk about the three countries Wei, Shu and Wu. Do you also talk about the Han Dynasty? The Han Dynasty was not destroyed, Your Majesty, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty is still there. Is this a mistake? "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is actually "The Romance of the Four Kingdoms". Starting tomorrow, all the Romance of the Three Kingdoms will have to be renamed? Haha, baby, you can't say that. In fact, during the Three Kingdoms period, although the Han Dynasty was there and the emperor was there, it existed in name only. They are all there in name, but no one can control it. Therefore, during the Three Kingdoms period, some of the most interesting things happened in the three countries of Wei, Shu and Wu. Therefore, everyone calls this period of history the "Three Kingdoms". That's right!
At that time of the Three Kingdoms, among the most famous surnames, the one named Cao was so powerful! The most representative one is Cao Cao. Remember this person, baby: the final winner of the Three Kingdoms should be him! Do you know what the ending of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is? In the end, among the three countries, who wins? Liu Bei's Shu Kingdom and Sun Quan's Wu Kingdom were both defeated by Cao Cao's Wei Kingdom. Someone said, this is such a pity. You want to say that Sun Quan's Wu Kingdom was defeated, but I'm not sad yet. How come Liu Bei's Shu Kingdom was also defeated? Didn't Liu Bei have three of the most powerful generals - Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun? And Zhuge Liang served as his strategist, capable of maneuvering and calculating. Zhuge Liang was like half a god, so how could he still be defeated? What a pity!
Baby, why was Liu Bei defeated by Cao Cao even though he was so powerful, and why couldn’t Sun Quan be defeated even though he was so powerful? We must talk about this matter in the future. But what I am saying now is that since Cao Cao defeated both of them, the most powerful one in the Three Kingdoms should be Cao Cao. Is this correct? The final winner!
But in history, and even to this day, in the eyes of the Chinese people, Cao Cao's image is not very good, it can even be said to be extremely bad. Some people say that this is too inappropriate. If the Three Kingdoms period was an exam for three countries, then if Cao Cao came first in the exam, it would be fine if you didn't congratulate him. Why is his impression of Cao Cao still so bad? For the sake of Cao Chong and Cao Zhi, Cao Chong said Xiang was so smart; Cao Zhi was so talented in seven-step poems; they had to be kind to their fathers! No, if you don’t believe it, go and ask your parents, grandparents, and grandparents. Ask them, is Cao Cao a good guy or a bad guy? Many people say that Cao Cao is a bad person. So baby, now the question is, how do you get to know Cao Cao? Is he a good guy or a bad guy? Let's talk about it carefully.
First of all, Cao Cao's image is really not very good, and his impression among ordinary people is even worse. This is reflected in traditional Chinese pop music and Peking Opera. Peking Opera, I don’t know if my dear has ever seen it, it is the quintessence of China, and this was the popular song of the year. Because there were no radios, TVs, or the Internet back then, when people were having fun, watching Peking Opera during their breaks after work was the best enjoyment. Those famous Peking Opera actors are as popular as today's singers and stars.
When these Peking Opera masters came out, there were a lot of star-chasers, and they were also crazy, saying, I love you, giving me autographs, etc.! So in Peking Opera, honey, remember, when watching Peking Opera, the facial makeup of the character on the stage is very important. It’s the one painted on the face, the one with all the gaudy makeup. In fact, facial makeup is the various patterns painted on the face by Peking Opera actors with special paints, available in various colors. This is called facial makeup. Baby, please note, you cannot use the pens used in art class to draw facial makeup on your face. The color is wrong and it cannot be washed off. The facial paint is specially made. After the performance, I can remove my makeup and return to my original appearance. Therefore, we cannot try randomly.
The main function of Peking Opera facial makeup is to express the character of the Peking Opera character. For example: the facial makeup of this Peking Opera character is mainly red, then this character is a symbol of loyalty and bravery in the play. Guan Yu has a red face. Guan Guanyu is really loyal to his elder brother Liu Bei. Guan Yu is also a symbol of loyalty in Chinese culture.
Many people now particularly admire Guan Yu. If you have the opportunity to see a statue of Guan Yu, you will also find that as long as it is a statue of Guan Gong, his face will be red! So, what does black facial makeup represent? Integrity, selflessness, and uprightness. For example, in the Three Kingdoms, the famous generals Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide, as well as the selfless Bao Zheng and Bao Qingtian, who are like gods in solving cases, each one is darker than the other! So when you watch Peking Opera, you don't have to listen to his singing. As soon as this actor comes on stage, you can tell what kind of character this actor is by looking at the color of his face.
When someone doesn’t know something, you can introduce it to them and you will be the expert
