Taoyuan Sanjieyi Liu, why do people only worship Guan Yu and not Zhang Fei?

Because Jingzhou was full of disasters after Guan Yu's death, local people thought Guan Yu's ghost was at work. So in order to quell these plagues, they chose to pay homage to Guan Yu, hoping that Guan Yu would not be angry and let them go. But after Zhang Fei's death, the local life was very calm and nothing strange was found, so the local people stopped paying homage to Zhang Fei. In fact, in my opinion, there is another reason, that is, Guan Yu's appearance is more serious, giving people a sense of god, so people are very willing to worship this hero, and Zhang Fei's appearance is five big and three thick, which looks no different from ordinary plowmen, so people do not choose Zhang Fei as the object of worship.

Guan Yu was a warrior of Shu in the Three Kingdoms period. Under the leadership of Guan Yu, the development of Shu was booming, and it once became a big country to compete with Wu and Wei. However, in Guan Yu's later period, he became the laughing stock of Shu because of his old age, infirmity and negligence. The reason for saying this is that Guan Yu was too arrogant at that time. He didn't command many soldiers and horses, but he was defeated in Maicheng in the end, because when he attacked the enemy, he didn't expect Wu's army to attack him and caught himself off guard. It was from this incident that the future of Shu began to decline gradually.

So it can be said that Guan Yu's death is very wronged and humbled. He was killed by the enemy without a decent game. So after his death, there was resentment in his heart. The local people thought that if this resentment could not be swallowed, Guan Yu's soul would probably become a spectre to threaten the local people.

Sure enough, after Guan Yu's death, Jingzhou's life was very restless, and some plagues often occurred. These plagues claimed many lives, so some superstitious old people thought Guan Yu was up to something. Therefore, in order to calm Guan Yu's anger, they chose to worship Guan Yu's idol and made Guan Yu a warrior saint in history.
