Let's look at the passage of Guan Yu's first solo "Warm Wine to Chop Hua Xiong"-"All the princes heard the drums resounding through the Commissioner, and the shouts were loud, such as the ground fell and the mountains collapsed, and they were all shocked. Just as I was trying to find out, the Luan bell rang and the horse arrived in Zhong Jun. The cloud lifted Hua Xiong's head and threw it on the ground-the wine was still warm. " (Luo Guanzhong's Romance of the Three Kingdoms five times) What a shock! How brave! The author did not describe how Guan Yu fought bravely, but through the rendering of this atmosphere and the contrast of the background, it was enough to make Guan Yu crowned the heroic spirit of the three armies on paper and received vivid results. Brave, martial arts, open and aboveboard, such a man with a clank of iron, didn't he get nine points! .
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms 120, about 18 focuses on Guan Yu's brave career: beheading Yan Liang, punishing Wen Chou, beating Hua Xiong with warm wine, riding a thousand miles alone, going to the meeting with one knife, scraping the bones to cure poison, driving away seven armies until Jingzhou and Maicheng were lost. In most reviews, the thrilling and tortuous fighting actions are not directly described, but the spiritual strength of the characters is rendered with "spirit-like" handwriting and refined pen and ink. This feature has been reflected in different degrees and from different angles in chapters such as Chopping Yan Liang and Crossing Wen Chou, Going to the Meeting with a Single Sword, Crossing Five Customs and Chopping Six Generals, etc.
Especially in Curing Poison by Scraping Bone, Guan Yu's brave performance is incisively and vividly. "It is a knife to cut the meat to the bone; Scraping a bone with a knife, I heard a sound. Under the account, everyone hides his face. There is no pain in drinking and eating meat, laughing and playing chess. At that time, blood flowed. Scrape off all the poison, apply the medicine and sew it on. There are no subtle words in the article "Laughter of the Masses" (Luo Guanzhong's Romance of the Three Kingdoms, seventy-five times), and a "bosom friend" makes readers fondle it.
All the above are descriptions of Guan Yu's martial arts, but when we look at Guan Yu in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, we must mention "righteousness", and the description of Guan Yu in the whole book is also centered around "righteousness". Guan Yu's transcendence is well known to all women and children and has far-reaching influence. Nothing is more than "righteousness". The author painstakingly described his heavy righteousness, gave his life for righteousness and shaped him into the incarnation of righteousness.
From his first appearance, we can see the image of a respectful and upright China man approaching with his hands. Then, in the plot of Three Things about Tuntushan, the author highlights Guan Yu's disregard for life and death. At that time, Xuzhou fell and the brothers were separated. Guan Yu was trapped in a dirt mountain. In desperation, he made a "three covenants" with Cao Cao and refused to surrender before Cao Cao agreed. "Three covenants" means "First, my uncle and I made an oath to help the Han family." Today, I only surrendered to Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, not to Cao Cao. In both cases, the second sister-in-law should support her uncle's salary, and no one is allowed to come to the door. Of the three, knowing Liu Huangshu's whereabouts, no matter how far away Wan Li is, it is easy to resign. All three are indispensable, and we will never surrender. "(Luo Guanzhong's Romance of the Three Kingdoms (twenty-five times)) One of the most important ones is" If you know where to go, Wan Li will be far away, and it will be easy to quit ",and another one is" If you don't drop Cao Yu in Han ",it can be seen that Guan Yu's loyalty is bone and righteousness is the first word.
The description of Guan Yu's "righteousness" in Trapped Cao Ying is the most convincing and wonderful. Among them, the gift of official clothes is the most plain and wonderful: "Cao Cao saw that Guan Gong's blue brocade shirt was old, so he measured it and gave it to him as a gift. Guan Yu took it and put it under his clothes, still covered with an old robe. Cao Cao smiled and said, "Why is the cloud so frugal?" Gong said, "First, it is not frugal. The old robe was given by Liu Huangshu, and some people wore it like brothers. I dare not use the new gift from the Prime Minister, but I forgot the old gift from my brother and put it on. " Cao Cao sighed and said, "What a righteous man." (Luo Guanzhong's Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the 25th time) This shows his loyalty. Later, Cao Cao sent a horse, which was also very meaningful. The original text was: Cao Cao was unhappy and said, "I am tired of giving beautiful women gold and silk, and I have never bowed my head;" Today, I worshipped again because I was happy, and gave a horse. Why are you cheap and expensive? " Guan Gong said, "I know this horse walks thousands of miles every day, and I am lucky to get it now. If you know where your brother is, you can see him in one day. " (Chapter 25 of Romance of the Three Kingdoms in Luo Guanzhong) all show Guan Yu's loyalty.
Guan Yu also sent the beauty sent by Cao Cao to the inner door to wait on his second sister-in-law. He also bowed down outside the inner door once every three days and asked if his second sister-in-law was safe. When the second lady asked about the uncle, she said, "Help yourself." Guan Gong returned the money. ""fuck with disorderly ceremony, make the duke guan and yisow * * * in one room. Guan Gong stood outside with a candle in his hand and never got tired of it. " (Romance of the Three Kingdoms in Luo Guanzhong: Twenty-five Chapters) and so on, all these will create a magnificent and delicate image of Guan Yu.
