Due to the description in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the impetuous and brave Zhang Fei has been passed down through the generations and has become a household name. The personality traits usually assigned to him are: reckless, ferocious, as strong as an ox, and loyal. Let's talk about some of his character characteristics in detail:
1. Bravery
Cao Cao was already afraid of him even before he met him face to face. That was when Guan Yu beheaded Yan Liang on Baimapo. Cao Cao praised him as a man of god, but Guan Yu was humble and said, "What a great person! My brother Zhang Yide, who picked the head of a general out of a million troops, is like picking out an ear from a bag." Cao was shocked and told everyone to be careful when encountering him in the future. He recorded this incident on the bottom of his robe, which is enough to show Zhang Fei's bravery and strength.
Second, wit
In this episode of "Zhang Yide explains Yan Yan", Zhang Fei knew how to spread false news and used a substitute to trick the cunning Yan Yan. Dazed and confused, he was finally captured alive and made his first achievement in Sichuan. Chapter 70: "The fierce Zhang Fei outsmarts Wakou Pass", he actually knew how to use alcohol to pretend to be drunk to confuse the enemy, and also engaged in a series of tricks, which completely defeated Zhang_ who was known to be both wise and brave. ?
Third, he has a loud voice and is impatient
In the episode "Zhang Yide makes a big fuss at Changban Bridge" in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the book says that his "voice is as loud as thunder, and his power is as powerful as thunder." galloping horse”. This momentum immediately reminded Cao Cao of Guan Yunchang's words not long ago. In the midst of panic, Zhang Fei shouted again: "Fight and not fight, retreat and not retreat, but why!" Such a roar of a tiger and leopard can scare people to death - Xia Houjie next to Cao Cao was heartbroken. , knocked down by the horse.
As a result, millions of troops fled. Cao Cao himself was even more embarrassed, "all his hairpins were off and he ran away with his hair disheveled." The lyrics in the opera go even further, saying that he "sounded a roar on the Changban Bridge, and the bridge stopped drinking water and flowed back."
Four, good at calligraphy
The earliest article about Zhang Fei's calligraphy The record can be found in the "Records of Swords and Swords" by Tao Hongying of the Southern and Northern Dynasties. It is said that Zhang Fei paid homage to the Marquis of Xinting and personally wrote the inscription on the sword: "The Marquis of Xinting is also a general of Shu."
There is an existing rubbing from the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, which is "Zhang Fei" "Fei Li Ma Ming", the inscription says: "The Han general flew, led thousands of elite soldiers, and broke the thief's first _ Yu Ba_, Li Ma Le inscription." It is said that after Zhang Fei won the battle, he took advantage of the wine and used a snake spear of eight feet. It was drilled into the cliff. The characters were written in official script and the writing was very vigorous. There are still cliffs in Qu County, eastern Sichuan today. Although they have been eroded by wind and rain for thousands of years, the writing is still faintly legible.
Fifth, understand painting
Zhang Fei is not only good at calligraphy, but also good at painting. Zhuoerchang of the Ming Dynasty compiled "Painting of the Essence of Painting" and said that Zhang Fei: "I like painting. "Beauty, good at cursive calligraphy." "Zhang Fei, a native of Zhuozhou, is good at cursive calligraphy" also recorded in the Qing Dynasty: "Zhang Fei, a native of Zhuozhou, is good at painting beautiful women." Zhuozhou people now say that the "Nuwa Mending the Sky" on the north wall of Zhuozhou Drum Tower is Zhang Fei. The murals painted in the Wanfo Pavilion in Fangshu Village near Zhang Fei's hometown are also said to have been painted by Zhang Fei.
