In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Fei's brave and reckless character was greatly exaggerated, making people mistakenly think that Zhang Fei was just a brave general and a barbarian, but he also had a gentle side. Folks in Zhang Fangniu Township all say that Zhang Fei is a painter and calligrapher, and Zhang Feishan paints beauties.
In ancient times, military commanders were generally known for their martial arts. They were usually called military commanders and were classified as barbarians. Zhang Fei is also a military commander. He was extremely brave. Although he has a rough side, he is not a rude person. He is both coarse and fine, such as outsmarting Wakou Pass and defeating Zhang He in the Brazilian War. Entering Sichuan and capturing Jiangzhou to capture Yan Lian, the magistrate of Bajun, alive and letting him release him without fear of punishment is not a clown's performance. The author Chen Shou also praised Zhang's interpretation of "scholarly style". Zhang Fei also likes to make friends with literati and is good at writing and painting. He was the first painter among the ancient military commanders.
Zhang Fei's calligraphy is good, and today's "Three Kingdoms" carved on the cliffs of Mengshan in Qu County, eastern Sichuan Province is his authentic work.
Bayumeng Mountain is located seven miles northeast of Qu County and is an important military location in eastern Sichuan. When Zhang Fei was defending Brazil, Wei led an army to attack from Hanzhong and resisted Zhang Fei for more than fifty days at Dangqu, Mengtou, Dangshi and other places in the Bayu Meng Mountain area. Zhang Fei led more than 10,000 soldiers to prevent the troops from fighting through other means. The narrow mountain road made it impossible for the troops joining up to rescue him, forcing Zhang He to abandon his horse and flee along the mountain road. With only a dozen people around him, he returned to Nanzheng. After World War I, Brazil was stable and Liu Bei was able to establish himself in Yizhou. This is a crucial battle related to the life and death of Shu.
After Zhang Fei defeated Zhang He, he held a banquet to celebrate his victory. He drunkenly carved two lines of official script on the rock wall with his spear: "General Han flew down, and the thief defeated Zhang He with his head. He wrote it immediately."
p>This inscription reflects Zhang Fei's joy in defeating Zhang He. He won't win this easily. The key is to use the favorable terrain to cut off the connection with the Wei army, and then lead the elite troops to annihilate the opponent's main force, leaving Zhang He's tail inferior to the reinforcements, resulting in a complete defeat.
To this day, the stone carvings still exist, but they have been repaired and added many times. However, you can still see that the font is vigorous and powerful. Yang Fa, a famous calligrapher during the Yongzheng and Qianlong reigns of the Qing Dynasty, had a large banner with the inscription "Zhang Fei Li Ma" in his works. According to textual research, it was written by Lin Yuan's engraving, but some words are slightly different. The book Bayu Meng is called Dangqu, and the book Lima Leming is called Lima Xerox, but the general content of the inscription is the same.
Zhang Fei can draw. See the record of Zhang Fei's inscription in Qing Dynasty: "Zhang Fei, a native of Zhuozhou, is good at painting beauties." People in Zhuozhou now say that the collection of paintings on the north wall of Zhuozhou Drum Tower was painted by Zhang Fei, who was near Zhang Fei's hometown. The murals of Wanfo Pavilion in Shucun were also written by Zhang Fei. Zhuozhou people told tourists: "This is absolutely credible."
The folks in Zhang Fei's hometown said that Zhang Fei was indeed a calligrapher and painter, and that Zhang Fei also had a history of painting beauties. It turns out that Zhang Fei had a very bad temper when he was a child, and his temper was also very short-tempered. His father hired several teachers for him, and they were all angry with him. His uncle specially recommended a teacher named Wang Yangnian to teach him. Mr. Wang served as a general in the imperial court and was both civil and military. In view of government corruption, he abandoned his official position and returned to his hometown to make a living by teaching. Zhang Fei admired this teacher very much. He practiced martial arts under his guidance. At the age of thirteen, he developed good martial arts skills. At the same time, he understood a lot of truth through reading, became more and more dissatisfied with the world, and determined to destroy the world and save the people. Worried that Wang’s teacher Zhang Fei will g
Gong Xueru, a former reporter for Nuwa Mending the Sky, was quoted by Changjiang Daily magazine. After visiting Zhuozhou, the hometown of Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, he listened to the local people telling the above story, which was then included in his book People's China. Gong Exploring the Ruins of the Three Kingdoms presented the book to Editor Chen. Chen and the author are both friends in the Journalism Department of Fudan University. He knew that I was studying the Three Kingdoms, so he sent it to me so that I could get some information about Zhang Fei's calligraphy and painting practice when he was young, and then have a deeper understanding of Zhang Fei's calligraphy and painting.
As for Zhang Fei’s writing skills, predecessors have also mentioned it. In the Qing Dynasty, Ji Xiaolan praised a poem:
It is generous and generous, and Huan Hou's Zagreb must be sparse;
I don't know the word "sofa". Ride in the general's car and write books.
Because the Changjiang Daily exaggerated Zhang Fei's brave and reckless character, people mistakenly thought that Zhang Fei was just a brave general and a barbarian, but they didn't know that Zhang Fei also had a gentle side. As a general, it is very valuable to have calligraphy and painting skills.
