Sun Jian is known as the "Jiangdong Tiger" and was the top general during the Three Kingdoms period. Why is he despised?

There are probably two reasons why the Tiger of Jiangdong is looked down upon: First, his family status is very low (there are two theories saying that ① all the ancestors in the family make a living by growing melons ② generations of officials. But there is no Hard evidence, only mentioned in some gossip magazines)

He was born into a very poor family. His family has made a living by growing melons for generations. Compared with other nobles, he is the kind of person who "cannot get on the stage", especially in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Therefore, it was difficult for Sun Jian to become a high official because of his poor background, and he could only be a small official throughout his life.

Second, there was no support from the court

As we all know, in the social environment at that time, it was difficult to become an official without the support of people in the court. Moreover, as a martial artist with such a low family background, Sun Jian was easily ignored by the court at that time. However, Sun Jian became an official based entirely on his hard-earned status in the army. Therefore, he had no intention of making friends with other officials in the officialdom, so there was no one who could help him. Therefore, Sun Jian could only rely on his own strength and wait for the opportunity of fate to become an official.

According to some historical records, Sun Jian was a county official when he was young. He has an open-minded temperament and likes people with integrity very much. 17-year-old Sun Jian encountered robbers who plundered other people's property in broad daylight. The merchants were so frightened that they did not dare to move forward. Due to Sun Jian's character, he rushed forward alone. ?

Who would have thought that the pirates were so arrogant that they had never seen anyone dare to catch up with them single-handedly? For a moment they didn't know what to do and left. But from then on Sun Jian was known for his bravery. The county government ordered him to serve as a school captain. This was Sun Jian's heroic behavior in his youth and the best proof that Sun Jian could shoulder heavy responsibilities in the later period.
