Why did Ma Chao say that Zhang Fei was from the village?

The first reason is naturally that Ma Chao and Zhang Fei have different family backgrounds.

As we all know, this Ma Chao is a descendant of General Han and belongs to a famous figure among his ancestors. Moreover, Ma Chao himself is said to be a multi-generation prince, and naturally he is taller.

But Zhang Fei's family background is not worth mentioning. His ancestors were not famous people, and even Zhang Fei himself was just a peddler selling wine and killing pigs.

Although Zhang Fei later made a splash with his own strength, he naturally became more arrogant in front of Ma Chao, the second generation of officials, the second generation of rich, and Xueba, that is, the villagers in the mountains.

The second reason is the appearance of Ma Chao and Zhang Fei.

In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Ma Chao's appearance is described as "Ma Jinchao", which shows that Ma Chao's appearance is enough to kill many small meats at that time.

In contrast, Zhang Fei, a leopard head and an eye-catching, looks rough and crazy in front of Ma Jinchao, so it is also true that Ma Chao said that Zhang Fei is a village man in the mountains.

Another reason is Ma Chao's psychological warfare.

As we all know, the winner of the master challenge is only a fraction of a millimeter. Ma Chao said that Zhang Fei hurt his self-esteem and made Zhang Fei feel unbalanced and anxious, so Ma Chao would win the next competition more easily.
