Romance of the Three Kingdoms Calligraphy
In people's eyes, Zhang Fei is a brave soldier. In fact, Zhang Fei's ability is not limited to this. According to the Records of the Three Kingdoms and other historical records, he can also write poems and draw pictures, and he is also a good calligrapher. Deng Tuo, a famous scholar, also wrote an article about Zhang Fei's paintings and calligraphy. Cao Xuequan, a philologist in the Ming Dynasty and former right-wing politician in Sichuan, recorded in the twenty-eighth volume of "Notes on Places of Interest in Central Sichuan" that there was a Bameng Mountain in Shunqingqu County (Dangqu County in the Three Kingdoms Period), and there was a stone at the foot of the mountain, which was engraved with the words: "The Han general Zhang Fei led ten thousand people to break the thief's first meeting and immediately stopped the stone." Two lines of official script characters. This inscription tells the time when Zhang Fei defeated the famous Zhang He and fled. It is said that Zhang Fei was very happy and proud at that time, and wrote this passage with stones instead of paper. In the Notes on the Three Kingdoms written by Zhao Yiqing in the Qing Dynasty, the words quoted from Yu Fang's Minutes also said: "There is a happy cloud at the foot of Bameng Mountain: Zhang Fei, the general of Han Dynasty, led thousands of people to die, broke the thief's first meeting and immediately enjoyed the stone. Cover Zhang Fei's book. " The explanation of Zhang Fei's biography in Notes on the Three Kingdoms also thinks that this sentence was written by Zhang Fei himself. Moreover, the original carved stone has been weathered and eroded for a long time, and the text is not clear. The existing "Inscription on Lima" is a blue stone tablet carved on the stone wall of Bameng in the seventh year of Guangxu (188 1), which was originally developed by Hu Shengyou, the magistrate of Qishan County. Today, the Qishan County Museum in Shaanxi Province has an original extension of Zhang Fei's handwritten stone tablet "Lima Ming", and its font and size are consistent with historical records. The inscription * * * has a total of 22 words, and the pen is full of vitality, which fully shows his personality and style. It is a rare calligraphy work. Liu Bei led Guan, Zhang and others to join the army and soon made many meritorious deeds, but they were never appointed by the court. Once, although they saved Dong Zhuo's life, because Liu Bei and others had no official position or title, Dong Zhuo was not only ungrateful, but also very rude, and Zhang Fei almost killed him. Later, in the World War I in Wancheng, Liu Bei and others made another meritorious military service, and were finally awarded a small official in Anxi County, Zhongshan Prefecture, Dingzhou. I didn't know I could work for four months, but the court dismissed me. Not only that, Du You insulted and framed him. In this case, The Romance of the Three Kingdoms said that Zhang Fei broke into the backyard and saw Du You sitting in the hall, tying the county magistrate to the ground and shouting, "Thief! Do you recognize me? " Du You was in a hurry and shouted for him everywhere. Zhang grabbed the hair and dragged it out of the inn. He tied it to the willow tree tied in front of the county gate, climbed down the willow tree and beat Du You on the leg. About 200 minutes later, while Liu Bei was wondering, he heard a commotion in front of the county, asked questions in a panic and replied, "General Zhang tied a man up and beat him in front of the county." Liu Bei went to watch in a panic and saw Fei cursing. Kidnapper, Du, you too. Liu Bei was surprised and asked why. "Why don't you kill these thieves?" Du You told him, "Save your life!" After all, Liu Bei is a kind person. He was anxious to stop Zhang Fei from drinking. However, according to the Records of the Three Kingdoms, the real situation is this: After Liu Bei became the county magistrate of Anxi County, Du You went to the county on business. Liu Bei went to visit him and got stuck. Liu Bei was furious, rushed into his residence and tied Du You up. "Staff two hundred, rope tied to its neck, five buried. Abandon the official and die. " There is another story about this. According to the canon, Du You went to the county seat and prepared to dismiss Liu Bei. When Liu Bei heard that Du You was going to give up his house, he went to see Du You, who refused to meet him because of illness. Liu Bei was very angry and rushed into the house. Tied to a tree, "I have a hundred whips left, and I want to kill it." Du You begged for grief, but he went away. "No matter which statement is true, it was Du You's Liu Bei who was whipped, not Zhang Fei. Putting it on Zhang Fei's head in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a false and wrong case. Besides Du You, there are some stories in The Romance of The Three Kingdoms, such as "Hulao Pass fought against Lu Bu" and "Ma Chao at night", which are not true history.
