In ancient times, especially in the eyes of literati, Li Guang was far superior to Wei Qing, and poems describing Li Guang abound.
Feng Tang is easy to get old, but Li Guang is hard to seal. In the dark forest, the grass was suddenly blown by the wind, and the wind was rustling. The general thought that the beast was coming and immediately pulled out the arrow. Dawn went to look for the arrow, which had gone deep into the edge of the stone. Can you find an ancient poem praising Wei Qing? No, the ancients looked down on this famous slave at all. The most famous sentence is Su Shi's comment on Wei Qing? If you are a young slave, should you lick hemorrhoids? Su Shi despises Wei Qing, who won seven of the seven wars, because he thinks that Wei Qing was born from humble origins and his career was entirely due to his sister Wei Zifu. At the same time, the ancient literati, like Sima Qian, sympathized with the lost general Li Guang in the supporting role of the gold medal.
Wang Wei also said:
Wei Qing's failure was due to the help of the gods, but Li Guang's failure was due to his fate. Scholars attributed Wei Qing's brilliant exploits to good luck, while Li Guang became the representative of the frustrated.
In the history, Wei Qing, apart from being a consort, won seven wars and seven victories in his life, recovered Heshuo and Hetao areas, and defeated the Yixie Khan with outstanding achievements. At the same time, Wei Qing is good at supporting the war by fighting, dares to fight deeply, is strict with orders, treats soldiers well, is generous and courteous to his colleagues, and does not impose private power. He is a very important minister and can be called the embodiment of a perfect minister.
Wei Qing's first battle with Xiongnu was a triumph in Liuzhou, while Li Guang had never been to Liuzhou. Dragon city flies to the army? Arguably, it can only be Wei Qing, but according to the nature of ancient literati, Li Guang, a flying general with superb archery, is praised here.
Li Guang has never been to Longcheng and Yinshan in his life. After Wei Qing and Huo Qubing attacked the Huns, Yinshan was occupied by the Han Dynasty. Find out these two points, and you will know who this poem is about. It is impossible to write about a person who has never been there in his life, is it?
The flying commander of Dragon City actually described Wei Qing's attack on Dragon City as a magic weapon from heaven, and many people just linked it with Li Guang. Many generals in later generations were crowned flying generals, also referred to as Li Guang?
