In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei's big ears, big shoulders, big hands and big knees, Guan Yu's beard and good looks are all described in detail, but Zhang Fei's appearance has never been mentioned, which is a strange phenomenon. Because of this, Luo Guanzhong played more /0/0. In the play, Zhang Fei is not only a leopard head and a tiger beard, but also gives Zhang Fei a black face, which is completely out of the need of artistic creation.
In people's eyes, Zhang Fei must be a brave soldier. In fact, according to some historical records, such as The History of the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Fei's ability is not limited to this. He can also write poems and draw pictures. What is even more surprising is that he is also an excellent calligrapher. According to legend, after Zhang Fei defeated the famous Cao Cao Zhang He, he got carried away. Together with Zhang Bamao, he cut down two lines of official script on the stone wall of Bamangshan: General Han flew in with ten thousand people, and the thief saw Bamangshan for the first time and saw it for the second time. That is, the Eight Monks Cliff, also known as Zhang, was later called.
You can also find some materials to illustrate this point. For example, in the Yuan Dynasty, there was a poem called "Wuzhen Temple", which wrote: Guan Hou satirized the left family, but drove too much. Although civilians and soldiers have different tastes, the ancients had enough. It's ugly. It looks like a cross spear. Zhang Fei is riding a bike. In the first year of Zhang Wu, he worshipped the general as the driver. According to Zhenwu, Zhang Fei's calligraphy attainments are so profound that he can't even compare with Wei He, a famous calligrapher in the Three Kingdoms. If so, Zhang Fei in history is brave, but not necessarily reckless. At least, he should have some qualities and temperament of a law teacher.
Zhang Fei has two daughters, both of whom are married to Liu Chan. To be a queen, in ancient times, when paying attention to the beauty of queens, we should at least think that their looks are good. Therefore, some scholars believe that their father Zhang Fei himself will not be bad. However, due to the lack of official records, whether in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms or in Zhang Feiying Mountain in Jianyang, Zhang Fei's rudeness is manifested in his hatred of evil, frankness, and nothing in his chest, which makes people feel lovely. He also uses wisdom, but his wisdom is always reckless. This is of course the result of the idealization and re-creation of folk artists in past dynasties. Without their meticulous creation, there would be no lovely and individual image like Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei in history turned out to be a handsome man? Which is the true face of Zhang Fei? This is a mystery to be solved. No matter what Zhang Fei looks like, he is a hero of the Three Kingdoms.
