Let’s talk about your views on Guan Yu and some of his actions and remarks.

Guan Yu, a legendary figure from the Three Kingdoms. The additional honors given to him after his death were far greater than those given to him by Han Shouhou Ting during Guan Yu's lifetime. He was a former general and was revered as a Martial Saint. Objectively speaking, Guan Yu is a person. When we talk about characters from the perspective of the literature and history of the Three Kingdoms, we should not elevate him to the level of a nation. But recently I saw several articles such as "The Eternal Reputation of Guan Yu" and "Experts from the Academy of Social Sciences Demonstrate that Guan Yu is Not a Hero, but a Lecher", etc. It really made me so angry that I had something to say in my heart, but I couldn't express my displeasure. Guan Yu has been my idol since I was a child. In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" as one of the protagonists, he appeared in Taoyuan and became sworn brothers, which deeply attracted my attention. Once upon a time, I was inspired by the spirit of killing Hua Xiong and beheading Yan Liang and Wen Chou; I gave a thumbs up for being awarded a gold seal and riding alone for thousands of miles; I cheered loudly for being captured and beheading Pang De, who flooded seven armies; I shook my head and sighed for the carelessness of Jingzhou; I was defeated by Zao Maicheng was unfortunately killed and cried bitterly, applauding Lu Meng for chasing him to death. After reading some history books as an adult, I have a clearer understanding of Guan Erye's deeds during his lifetime. I know that this martial sage, one of the only two people with ten thousand enemies in "Three Kingdoms", is by no means an empty name. However, today, Guan Yu is no longer respected and worshiped as before. Instead, he is embarrassed everywhere and labeled as a sinner for the ages. Articles criticizing the Martial Saint and baseless rumors and slanders are overwhelming. He has personally experienced ten years of turmoil. People really think that time has gone back to the era of the booming movement of criticizing the law and criticizing Confucianism. Guan Yu, is Guan Yu really ugly? As the saying goes, people are more afraid of being famous than pigs are afraid of being strong. Insulting celebrities is the easiest way to become famous. Some people are self-aware and know that they cannot get people's attention with their true talents and knowledge, and would rather be infamy than remain unknown. Although we cannot imitate Yue Fei and be admired by future generations, it would be good to imitate Qin Hui and kneel in front of the statue of Guan Yu for eternity to soak up the glory of ancient celebrities. Therefore, the more famous a person is, the more he will be criticized by people with bad intentions. All those who failed unanimously believed that Guan Yu was just a tool used by the feudal rulers to fool the people and poison them. The purpose of criticizing Guan Yu was to flaunt himself as a representative of the new era and to awaken those who were addicted to novels and could not extricate themselves. people. He said that he was like Lu Xun, great. Yes, now is the 21st century, and the Chinese can proudly shout loudly: China has joined the WTO! They love to be unconventional in everything and advocate freeing up their minds in everything. So today you can nod and bow to foreigners, but you can speak evil words, slander and slander your own ancestors. Have you ever thought that no matter how time passes, some things and laws remain eternal? No matter how pushy the new humans are, they won’t think it’s fashionable to confuse the good, the beautiful, and the ugly, or that it’s a virtue to take pleasure in insulting their ancestors, right? For those people who are keen on criticizing this and fighting that all day long, if a hundred years from now, your descendants still remember you and say you are a waste, how would you feel if you knew what you were doing? But you can rest assured that after a hundred, thousand, or ten thousand years, your descendants will never write a book or article to scold you, and no one will be jealous of you. I can be sure of this. I really don’t want to say too much about the unfounded charges that Qin Hui imposed on Guan Yu. Why did Guan Yu surrender to Cao Cao? Because Guan Yu understood the principle of a man who can bend and stretch, even if there is no firewood. Why did Guan Yu kill Yan Liang so easily? It was as if he was entering an uninhabited country. Because Guan Yu was so talented in martial arts that he was so courageous that he could sneak up on anyone pretending to be a soldier. Yan Liang is not qualified to be called the famous general of Kebei even if he can take Yan Liang's head. Why did Guan Yu return to Liu Bei despite all difficulties despite being sealed with a gold seal? Because Guan Yu abides by the promise he made when they became sworn brothers and is extremely loyal to Liu Bei. This is something that most modern people don't have. His noble character; why Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army and strengthened China, because Guan Yu was both brave and resourceful; why Guan Yu was arrogant, because Guan Yu had the capital to be arrogant. Mi Fang, Fu Shiren and others who Guan Yu looked down on were not greedy and fearful. Why is Guan Yu lustful? Because Guan Yu is a real man, not a homosexual, otherwise he would not be related to Guan Xing; why Guan Yu is revered as a god and favored by emperors and novelists of all dynasties, because Guan Yu definitely has the ability to be praised With the qualifications to beautify, he is well-deserved for being a Martial Saint with his head in the sky and his feet on the ground! Even if Guan Yu is not a national hero, he is at least a representative of the loyalty and filial piety of the Chinese nation. The embodiment of justice has left to future generations a culture that unites the nation. Generally speaking, it brings people far more positive aspects than negative aspects.

Why not think more about the good side? Don't criticize the ambitious Sima clan, don't judge the cruel and unkind Dong Zhuo, don't curse Huang Hao, who brought disaster to the country and the people, and don't curse Yang Song, the seller who seeks glory. I don’t criticize when I should criticize, I don’t curse when I should curse, but I have a special liking to find troubles for heroes like Guan Yu who have been immortalized for centuries. Like three aunts and six wives, they squeak all day long and insist on trivial matters. Fang, looking for words like a detective, going all-in, using sporadic historical data and even Guan Yu's private life and adding his own prejudices and imagination to make a fuss, as if he has discovered a new world, lest the world is not in chaos, he must vilify a well-known sage. You can't be a rat crossing the street. The euphemistic name is to restore Guan Yu's true face and respect historical facts. Doesn’t it mean that we don’t care about history? At the very least, we don’t have the due respect for the ancients. We insist on treating false ideas as facts, forcing people to accept the real ugly and shameless self, and burying their own conscience just to please the public!!! Guan Yu is a brave general. , but once people who have been influenced by the Romance of the Three Kingdoms for a long time study history, they will find that "warm wine and kill Hua Xiong", "three heroes fight Lu Bu", "three things about Tushan", "kill Wen Chou", "pass five passes and kill six generals" , "Beheading Cai Yang", "Huarong Daoyi interprets Cao Cao", "Changsha righteously interprets Huang Zhong", "attends the meeting alone", "Maicheng refuses to surrender", so many of the auras around Guan Yu are actually fictitious. Guan Yu was originally in their minds. The sacred image collapsed, and a feeling of being cheated ensued, which is why so many people scolded Guan Yu.

Haha, the romance theory is very popular, so when people look at Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Zhuge Liang and the like in the Three Kingdoms, they are disappointed at best, and they are not rude.

The funny thing is that those who flatter people are really tireless, and the words of a very good person are no longer tasteful from their mouths

Take this person who implicated Guan Yu in the dignity of the Chinese nation. Angry youth, who you like is your own business, but if you say it, you are wrong. According to the meaning, blaspheming Guan Yu is an insult to the dignity of the Chinese nation. Then consider the popularity of the Three Kingdoms among Chinese people, and then calculate the probability of knowing Guan Yu. I am afraid that most people only have a partial understanding of it. Are those who don't know not Chinese?

It’s really ridiculous. Just looking at this question doesn’t make you angry! Feudalism does not mean backwardness and ignorance, but rulers can use established religions and people like Guan Yu as examples of people's obedience. Some people even upgrade him to "the dignity that the Chinese nation deserves." Even though I am an angry youth, I am also angry that the dignity of the Chinese nation has been abused.

Belief is sometimes tangible, and sometimes it is subtle. Is it possible that everyone has a share? There are no more than 1.5 billion religious believers in the world, and some of them are state-owned. . But if you insist on raising Guan Yu to a religious level, I think it is still flattering.

Am I confused about dignity?

Haha, what I’m confused about right now is that Guan Yu is the only one who shows dignity?

Is the dignity of the Chinese nation only limited to loyalty? 1) When an idol becomes a part of Chinese culture, it is no longer simply so-called stupidity. In particular, this image represents a positive and beneficial attitude towards life.

2) The so-called faith is a relatively complete outlook on life and values ??that guides people to do good in order to achieve the perfection of life. Sajia mentioned belief in oneself above. In today's society, respecting other people's outlook on life and values ??should be the basic morality on the premise that others do not affect one's own. (It’s okay if you don’t agree)

3) Admit it, the worship of Guan Yu, or to be precise (the worship of Guan Gong) does not seem to have any large-scale revealing characteristics, especially after the Cultural Revolution. But in the living circle dominated by southerners, especially Fujian and Guangdong Chinese, Guan Gong's influence is very great. Many Chinese people who return from overseas have the temple on their itineraries. Please don't describe this kind of adoration as "stubborn". This in itself is a naked insult to others.

4) Finally, let’s talk about national dignity. It is true that the dignity of the Chinese nation goes beyond loyalty, but loyalty is definitely an important part of the Chinese culture. For example, if occupying our territory is an insult to us, then burning our flag is not an insult to us? When people mention loyalty, they think of Guan Yu. This is the power of an idol, which is definitely more useful than F4.

So friends, even if you don’t choose faith, it will be beneficial and harmless to know more about faith.

Emphasize two points: 1. Why choose Guan Yu as the Martial Saint?

There were three major candidates when choosing the Martial Saint: 1. Wu Zixu; 2. Guan Yu; 3. Yue Fei. The reason why Wu Zixu was defeated was because he dug up the tomb of King Chu Ping and whipped his body to vent his anger. This was a serious act of disrespecting the king and father. Yue Fei lost the election because all the people he fought and killed were the Jurchens, the ancestors of the Manchus. Therefore, he was defeated.

2. No matter how proud you are, you can never be proud. Furthermore, you are not wrong to say that Guan Yu is proud. However, he despised Soochow, despised Lu Xun, and disregarded the overall situation. He actually wanted to abandon Jingzhou and enter Sichuan just to fight Ma Chao, and felt ashamed to be tied with Huang Zhong. Are these also worth learning?
