Five customs: Dongling Pass, Luoyang City, Surabaya Pass, Xingyang and Yellow River Ferry.

From Romance of the Three Kingdoms: Crossing Dongling Pass to Kill Kong Xiu; Killed Han Fu and Meng Tan when crossing Luoyang City; Kill Bian Xi when crossing Si Shuiguan; Kill the satrap Wang Zhi when crossing Xingyang; When crossing the Yellow River ferry, he killed Chyi Chin, hence the name "going through five customs and killing six generals". Guan Yu (about 162-220) was born in Xie Liang, Hedong (now Yuncheng, Shanxi). A famous soldier in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. When Liu Bei started his army, Guan Yu followed Liu Bei and was loyal and trusted by Liu Bei.

Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and others entered Shu, and Guan Yu guarded Jingzhou. After Liu Bei captured Hanzhong, Guan Yu took advantage of the situation to explore Wei. He besieged Xiangfan, escaped from the Forbidden City, beheaded Pound, threatened China, and the Central Plains shook, but Wu Dong attacked Jingzhou, and Guan Yu was defeated and killed. After Guan Yu's death, he was gradually deified by people and was honored as "Guan Gong". There have been many awards and titles in all previous dynasties. In Qing Dynasty, it was regarded as "loyal to SHEN WOO, brave to show great sage" and "warrior sage", just like Confucius "Wen Sheng". The Romance of the Three Kingdoms honored him as the leader of the "Five Tiger Generals" in Shu, and Mao Zonggang called him the "righteous person" of the "Three Wonders of Romance".

Extended data:

Anyone who is familiar with the Three Kingdoms will be familiar with the story of Guan Yunchang's "going through five customs and killing six generals". According to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Guan Yu was captured by Cao Cao. After meritorious service, he bowed to Cao Cao and escorted his two sisters-in-law to Hebei to find his brother Liu Bei. After starting from Xuchang, we passed through Dongling Pass, Luoyang Pass, Sishuiguan Pass, Xingyang Pass and Sliding State Pass, and killed six generals Kong Xiu, Meng Tan, Han Fu, Bian Xi, Wang Zhi and Chyi Chin who were in the way, and finally crossed the Yellow River. "Romance" took a whole period of time to describe this story. "Riding a thousand miles alone" became a symbol of Guan Zhong's kindness and bravery, and it was also one of his important achievements in his life.

As early as the Song Dynasty, the chronicles of the Three Kingdoms were compiled into household stories by storytellers and circulated in the streets. In the Yuan Dynasty, these stories were further enriched. In addition to the book "The History of the Three Kingdoms in Quanxiang Pinghua", there are various dramas and folklore about the theme of the Three Kingdoms. It is on the basis of these plays, legends and scripts that Luo Guanzhong rearranged and revised some mistakes that were too different from history, and today's Romance of the Three Kingdoms came into being. Among them, the story of Guan Yunchang's crossing five customs is not recorded in history. I think it was originally created by folk artists in Song and Yuan Dynasties, and was later quoted by Luo Guanzhong.
