In real life, some people who have practiced Wei Bei's calligraphy know that there is a "Statue of Yang Dayan" with a very unique style, in which a large number of Fang Bi are carved with a knife, which is decisive, sharp-edged and more majestic among many calligraphy. This monument is located in Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang, which makes the viewer unable to stop. Yang Dayan can't read, and he is a valiant soldier. There is also a reason why he is called "Yang Dayan".
Yang Dayan, a burly man with great valor, was a valiant soldier in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Because he had "eyes as big as a wheel" and was not angry and arrogant, people called him Yang Dayan, but his real name was unknown. Because Yang Dayan fought the Liang Dynasty in the south for a long time, winning more and losing less, which made him famous. At that time, as long as the children in the south of the Yangtze River began to cry, and the adults just said "Yang Dayan is coming", the children immediately stopped crying.
Yang Dayan, who was born in a noble family, had to earn his fame by himself. During the period of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Emperor Xiaowen asked Shangshu Li Chong to be responsible for selecting general officers. Yang Dayan sought audience with Li Chong, and volunteered. Li Chong looked down on him when he saw a lad who didn't know where he came from. So Yang Dayan showed a skill. He took out a 3-foot long rope, tied one end to his bun, and then flew quickly. The long rope tied behind his head flew straight, so fast that he couldn't catch up with the speed of riding. Everyone you see feels like a flying man.
Li Chong had never seen such a wizard, and he agreed to become an officer on the spot. Since then, Yang Dayan has been through hundreds of wars, made meritorious military service, and constantly increased his rank and title. In his later years, he became the secretariat of Jingzhou. He also ordered his subordinates to prepare a scarecrow for him, and told his men to dress the scarecrow and shoot him with an arrow. Then he established military power: if a thief harms the people, I will kill you in this way.
Yang Dayan can't read, but he has a good memory. He can remember the contents of the book firmly. As a famous soldier in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Yang Dayan's three sons defected to Xiao Liang, which made the Northern Wei Dynasty unexpected and humiliated. Although Yang Da's eye meritorious service is high, there is no posthumous title and posthumous gift after his death. This is the origin of Yang Dayan and his legendary life.
