Who is Zhou Yu?

Zhou Yu (175 -2 10), a famous Soochow player in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Zhou Yu is tall, handsome and well-proportioned. At that time, there was a saying that "Zhou Lang got the wrong tune".

In the official history, Zhou Yu is "majestic", "elegant" and "real genius". Known as "the hero of the world, Mifu Jiang Zuo".

Musical opera man

The allusion of "ancient music" comes from The Story of the Three Kingdoms Wu Shu Zhou Yu: "Yu Shao devoted himself to music. Although he made a mistake after the Third National Congress, I must know and deal with it. So some people sometimes say,' The song is wrong, Zhou Lang cares' "

According to the Records of the Three Kingdoms, Zhou Yu was proficient in temperament when he was young. Even after drinking three glasses of wine, as long as the player makes some small mistakes, he can detect them and immediately turn his head to see the person who made them. . Since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, "Zhou Lang's ancient songs" have often been cited as allusions by major writers, and often appear in various literary works such as poems and operas. Li Duan in the Tang Dynasty wrote a poem "Listen to the Zheng", "Her snow-white jade hand is shining on the golden harp under the snow window. In order to attract Zhou Yu's keen eyes, she touched the wrong sound from time to time. " With this allusion, we can further develop our imagination and describe Zhou Lang's drunken charm because of his handsome appearance. Players are mostly women, and in order to win his eyes, they often deliberately play the music wrong.

Later, Yu Liang.

The allusion of "temporary beauty" comes from Selected Poems by Wang Shizhen, a poet in the Qing Dynasty: "There are few people in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, who have both talent and temporary beauty."

"Yu Liang" was a combination of Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms period, and later it was called "Yu Liang" if they could match each other.
