Zhang Fei appeared in the novel and described his appearance like this: "He is eight feet long, with leopard head, leopard eyes, unshaven beard and thunderous voice, like a galloping horse." With these 20 words, the image of the mighty warrior is fixed. Later, the author added fuel to the fire and quoted a doggerel that came out of nowhere, saying only that he drank Cao Jun from Dangyang Bridge: "The head of the slope in Changban was murderous, and the horizontal gun immediately opened its eyes. Hearing a gunshot, Cao's family withdrew a million soldiers alone. "
Zhang Fei is brave and good at fighting. The History of the Three Kingdoms also says that he is "brave and loyal" and "ten thousand enemies". When Liu Bei defeated Xinye, he heard that Cao Jun was coming after him, lost his wife and children, and asked Zhang Fei to take twenty riders. "The flying stream broke the bridge according to the water. _ Eye Cross Spear said,' I'm Zhang Yide, but I'm here to die!' No enemy dares to approach. "
After Zhang Fei's death, he was posthumously named Henghou. In ancient times, only those who were best at expanding territory and intimidating the enemy could be called Heng.
However, according to this, the Romance later developed its imagination and thought that Zhang Fei was a reckless and brave warrior, which was biased. This guy is actually very bad. After Cao Cao defeated Zhang Lu, he confronted Zhang Jia for more than 50 days. Seeing that Zhang A's army could not stand up on the mountain road, he took 10,000 chosen men and invited Zhang A to fight his way out of the path. Poor Zhang Ajun couldn't take care of the head and tail, and Zhang Fei picked up a big bargain.
Chen Shou commented: "Flying loves respecting a gentleman rather than a villain." It shows that Zhang Fei is still a polite figure in treating gentlemen. Yi Shi Yanyan is a well-known story. After Liu Bei occupied Chengdu, Liu Ba first fell, and Zhang Fei immediately went to visit. Liu Ba, a scholar, thought he was a warrior and didn't talk to him. Zhang Fei was angry, but he didn't have a hard time with Liu Ba. Zhuge Liang said to Liu Ba, "Although Zhang Fei is a military commander, he also admires his steps."
As for Zhang Fei's appearance, although it is not described in the History of the Three Kingdoms, his two daughters are both married to the late emperor, one is the mourning queen and the other is the queen Zhang. If Zhang Fei is really a leopard with eyes, and the daughter born inherits her father's appearance, I'm afraid Liu Chan wouldn't dare to marry him.
According to some ancient books, Zhang Fei is also very accomplished in painting and calligraphy.
Zhenwu in Yuan Dynasty wrote a poem "Zhang Yide Temple", saying that Zhang Fei's calligraphy is good, and even Zhong You and Huang Xiang may not be comparable to him. The poet is inevitably a bit grandiose, but Zhang Fei's calligraphy is not bad, so it is a conclusion.
There is also a record about Zhang Fei's calligraphy in the Master Book of Dan and Lead in the Ming Dynasty: "There are Zhang Fei and Diao Douming in Fuling. His writing is very hard and his books are flying. " At the same time, it explains that the essence of Yuan's painting contains "Zhang Fei ... likes to draw beauties and is good at cursive writing", saying that Zhang Fei is not only good at cursive writing, but also can draw pictures of beautiful women.
Unfortunately, this general's beautiful paintings have not been handed down from generation to generation. 1985, when repairing Jinping Mountain in Langzhong City, a stone tablet was picked up from the river, which was engraved with "Zhang Fei, a Han general, led a thousand people, and the thief broke the first armor in Ba Meng, making a * * * inscription". His words are like flowing water, meaningful and beautiful. According to textual research, this may be the original of A?vagho?a by Zhang Fei, but there are still some doubts.
