Become Zongheng A magical sword in troubled times...

According to legend, the best blacksmith in the world only chose the night of the full moon to build it. When it was completed, there was a sudden storm and 1,780 drops of blood fell from the sky. The local warlock analyzed that it was the blood of Qinglong. Therefore, it has the name Qinglong Yanyue Sword. Therefore, it is said that the Qinglong Yanyue Sword will kill 1,780 people. ——Later, this knife killed 1,300 people and beheaded 480 people.

There is another saying that when Guan Yu was young, he was very skilled in martial arts, but he just regretted not having a satisfactory sword to use. So he invited the best weapon-making masters from several nearby villages to Guanjiazhuang to discuss and make him the best sword. One of the old masters asked: "I wonder which grade of sword the strong man Guan wants?" "There are six types of swords: iron sword, steel sword, pure steel sword, soft steel sword, green steel sword, and precious sword. Iron is tempered into steel over a long period of time, and steel is If you refine it for a long time, it will become green, and then it will become a treasure. Most people can only make iron knives and steel knives. As for pure steel knives, nine out of ten will be broken, and soft steel will be broken ninety-nine times out of a hundred. As for the green steel sword and the precious sword, they are considered rare treasures in the world." After hearing this, Guan Yu said, "Guan wants the precious sword." After hearing this, the masters shook their heads and stuck out their tongues. But due to Guan Yu's "No matter how many swords are broken, I will bear the responsibility alone, a lot of money."

The process of refining the sword was not very smooth. When the final fire was reached, it was already dark. A bright moon was in the sky, and suddenly a bright light burst out from the fire, shining directly into the sky. The old master shouted: "Get out of the way of the knife, it's about to explode (I don't understand)!" At this time, a green dragon passed by in the sky, and was caught by the light. hit. The light cut the green dragon, and then retreated into the knife, the dragon's blood dyeing the knife head. The sword did not explode - but the Qinglong Yanyue Sword was refined.

In the war-torn times where force was advocated, with such a record, the holder of the Qinglong Yanyue Sword undoubtedly became the object of worship in the world - he was Guan Yu.

The stories of heroes are always remembered for generations. Therefore, the Qinglong Yanyue Sword and the passing of Guan Yu have become the myths of people and things that are talked about by future generations.

However, all beautiful things are often as fragile as crystal. The reason is that people are subjective animals. Once they like someone or something, they will endow them with all kinds of imagination, just like love.

It can be seen that myths will eventually be shattered.

Is it ugly enough? I looked carefully and estimated that it is possible to have a height of 9 feet and 5 inches, and a weight of 82 kilograms - because it is made of pig iron - but I thought that if we use refined steel or aerospace materials now, we might not be able to use that weight. It is lighter, sharper, does not rust, and is also resistant to high temperatures - looking at the blade, there is no so-called dragon swallowing the moon pattern.

Based on this, the legends behind the Qinglong Yanyue Sword are probably made up by later generations.

Because of a photo, Qinglong Yanyue Dao died like this, neatly and neatly - this feeling is like making a famous book into a movie, with unlimited imagination, he was murdered all at once...

In the novel, the image of Guan Yu wielding a green dragon sword and riding a red rabbit horse is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. There are articles in the market that presume that his sword is completely fictitious. I am reposting it here for everyone to see. The author also attaches it later. The original article refutes each argument one by one. I hope you can compare and give me some advice.

1. Did Guan Yu use a sword? This has been talked about the most for hundreds of years. It is estimated that many people can recite it: the weapon used by Guan Yu in history was not a sword, and naturally it was not the so-called Qinglong Yanyue Sword. Chen Shou's "Three Kingdoms" does not mention what weapons Guan Yu used. There is only one record in the "Three Kingdoms? Biography of Guan Yu": "Shao sent General Yan Liang to attack Liu Yan, the prefect of Dongjun, on Baima. Duke Cao sent Zhang Liao and Yu as the vanguard to attack him. When Yu saw Liang's subordinate Gai, he spurred Liang on his horse. Among the thousands of people, he beheaded him, and all the generals were unable to do it, so he broke the siege of Baima. "Through the word "stab", many people think that the weapons Guan Yu used were straight-piercing weapons such as spears and halberds. Some experts have verified that "halberds were the most popular in the Han Dynasty, followed by spears." During the Three Kingdoms period, there was no long-handled broadsword like the Qinglong Yanyue Sword. This kind of Yanyue Sword appeared in the Tang and Song Dynasties. It was mainly used for training to demonstrate martial prowess and was not used in actual combat. Through experts' explanation of doubts, the theory of Guandao's fabrication can finally be confirmed. Not only that, based on expert research on the origin and development and use of weapons in various periods, in the novel Huang Zhong and Wei Yan's broadswords, Xu Huang's axe, Huang Gai's iron whip, Wu Anguo's iron hammer, and Lu Bu's Fangtian painted halberd They are all fictitious. Such research is beneficial to restoring the historical origins, and also allows enthusiasts to learn more about ancient weapons. But recently, some authors have been unconventional and tried to work on the eighty-two-pound weight of the Qinglong Yanyue Sword described in the novel. They are actually testing how much strength it takes to play the eighty-two-pound Qinglong Yanyue Sword on a horse, hoping to prove it. The fabrication of the Qinglong Yanyue Sword turned out to be a big joke. Some authors simply did not understand that the weight and scale of the Eastern Han Dynasty were different from those of modern times. One kilogram at that time was only equivalent to 222.72 grams today. Based on this calculation, the Qinglong Yanyue Sword also added up to the current 36 kilograms. These people have a good direction, but they have made two mistakes: first, they do not have enough knowledge and make random guesses; second, even if they have a result, whether it is research on the history of the Three Kingdoms, research on historical figures, research on novel art, or novel characters Image research and author research are of no use. This unconventional approach is time-consuming and futile, so it is better not to do it. But this mistake doesn't just happen to ordinary people. In the 1980s, after my father attended a classical literature conference, he brought back a real joke: at the conference, an expert presented his own paper, and the main content was to prove that Cao Xueqin, the author of "Dream of Red Mansions", was a fat man! More than twenty years have passed, but the author still remembers my father's expression when he told this story. Readers of this article may wish to consider the implications of this. two. How did the Qinglong Yanyue Sword evolve? Since it has been mentioned above that the Guan Sword is fictional, how did it appear in the novel step by step? The author checked the relevant information, but it was not comprehensive. According to the "Three Kingdoms? Biography of Guan Yu", Guan Yu used a spear or a halberd. In the Tang and Song Dynasties, this Guandao seemed to be a sword (the author has little information on this aspect, so I may have omitted it. If any netizen has detailed information, please enlighten me, thank you very much!). There is this sentence in the poem "Farewell to Friends at Zhuangmiaohou Temple" by Lang Junzhou of the Tang Dynasty: "The general is as beautiful as the sky, and his righteousness and bravery are the best in the past and present. His horse travels on hundreds of battlefields, and one sword kills ten thousand enemies." Huang Maocai of the Song Dynasty said in "Praise to the King of Wu'an" : "The spirit is overwhelming, brave and strong. Among thousands of people, the assassin is good." Song Anonymous's "Wuchengwang Temple Ceremony Praise" said: "The sword spirit reaches the clouds, and it is actually called a tiger minister. When a country is brave, the enemy is called ten thousand people." By the Yuan Dynasty, the idea of ??Guan Yu using a sword began to appear in different works. Hao Jing of the Yuan Dynasty said in "Reconstruction of the Temple": "Leaping up the horse and beheading the generals, Hou Yin gave him gold and returned the title to himself.

Hengdao worships the book to go to Cao Gong, which has been a noble and noble style of the country through the ages. Later, in Yuan dramas, Guan Yu also used a sword. In "Three Kingdoms Pinghua", which is recognized as the most important reference work for the completion of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Guan Yu also used a sword to participate in the "Three Heroes Battle against Lu Bu": "On the third day, Lu Bu challenged Pinbu again, and all the princes came out of the stronghold to confront Pinbu. Zhang Fei stepped out of his horse and held a gun. Zhang Fei and Lu Bu fought for twenty rounds, with neither victory nor defeat. Guan Gong was angry and set up his horse and wheel sword, and the two generals fought against Lu Bu. The First Lord couldn't bear it, so he used two swords and three cavalry to fight Lu Bu. He was defeated and fled, heading northwest to Hulao Pass. "From the analysis of these data, the weapons used by Guan Yu ranged from spears (halberds) to swords, and were finally formally shaped on the sword. It is not clear whether the theory of Qinglong Yanyue Sword was originated in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but through "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Qinglong Yan Yue Dao and Guan Yu have become one and are inseparable. What is the role of this calculation? Everyone knows that there have been many disputes about the writing date of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and there are four views: the Song Dynasty and even before. Said; said in the middle of the Yuan Dynasty; said in the early Ming Dynasty; said in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. If the above calculation about Guandao is correct, it may be helpful to solve the dispute about the writing date of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Why? . 3. How did the Qinglong Yanyue Sword come from? As mentioned earlier, from the existing data, it took a long time for the emergence and finalization of the Qinglong Yanyue Sword. When we see this, we may have an idea. Another guess: If the theory of Qinglong Yanyue Sword is not finalized, what will be the most affected? No, it is Guandi Temple. The memory of this "loyalty through the ages" and the political needs of rulers in the past have made it a trend to build temples for Guan Yu. Guandi temples are basically spread all over the country. Just imagine: If the theory of the Qinglong Yanyue Sword has not been finalized, then Guan Yu in the Guandi Temple. It is unlikely that the Qinglong Yanyue Sword would appear next to the statue. It is unlikely that the craftsmen who built the Guandi Temple would add a sword to the Guan Sage for no reason because of their own whims, and they would have to get the response of all the Guandi Temples. , let it spread all over the country and become Guan Yu's exclusive product. In order to get the response from all Guandi temples, we might as well make three assumptions: first, it is designated by the ruler, second, it is folklore, and third, it is a literary work. Sex does not exist; the second possibility is very small. Chinese folklore is numerous and messy, is not widely circulated, and lacks unity, so it is unlikely that the third literary work will have such a great influence. . From the above analysis, poetry, Sanqu and Yuan dramas are not so influential, and there is no unified description of the weapons used by Guan Yu in these works, so the only possibility left is a great literature The work appeared. This great literary work can only be "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and only the literary masterpiece "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" can achieve this. People accept that the Qinglong Yanyue Sword will appear in the Guandi Temple. In this way, it will be easier to conduct a general survey of the Guandi Temple across the country and pass the local chronicles and related poems. 4. Since the Qinglong Yanyue Sword is a fictional weapon, it also brings up another association: Why is it the Qinglong Yanyue Sword instead of other weapons? A rough analysis can be made from "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms": First of all, around this Qinglong Yanyue Sword, The author has designed many exciting plots: picking up a brocade robe with a sword, going to a meeting alone, losing a sword and grabbing a sword. The Qinglong Yanyue Sword has appeared in the novel longer than Guan Yu; secondly, as Mr. Qiu Zhensheng said: "In Chinese classical literature and art It pays great attention to the gadgets in the characters' hands. Although they are just swords and guns, they often become distinctive symbols of character. This traditional method of harmonious unity of people and objects was gradually explored by outstanding writers and artists in ancient my country during their long-term artistic practice, and it is still used for reference today. meaning. "(The reason why I want to talk about this small topic is that one day someone will write a strange article like "Why Guan Yu doesn't use a mace". That would be even scarier than arguing that Cao Xueqin is a fat man.)
