In fact, Su Dongpo's poems are invisible in the official history. For example, Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao combined before and after Jian 'an for three years, and Battle of Red Cliffs took place in Jian 'an for thirteen years. How can it be a first marriage?
In fact, Su Dongpo said this in order to establish Zhou Yu's charming image. At that time, the key words of Zhou Yu's image were elegance, elegance, youth and talent, so Su Dongpo outlined his gentle and leisurely image with a few strokes. But then everyone knew that Su Dongpo was famous all over the world, but when he mentioned the feather fan scarf, he thought of Zhuge Liang. So how did Zhuge Liang steal Zhou?
It is unfair for Zhuge Liang to say so, because Zhuge Liang's image status is much higher than Zhou Yu's, both in official rhetoric and public opinion.
Let's start with the official statement. In the early Tang Dynasty, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Wu Temple was established. Zhuge Liang ranked among the ten philosophers in the Wu Temple, and Zhou Yu was only a quarter of the worshippers. Zhuge Liang is entitled to eat cold pork, and Zhou Yu has to stand and watch.
Among the people, various myths about Zhuge Liang, such as the story of Zhuge Liang scaring away the living Sima, and Zhuge Liang's eight-array map of the stars, have been circulated and become gods since the Tang Dynasty. In the literati's pen, it has been rendered countless times.
And Zhou Yu? He may be the Raytheon in folk stories. In Notes on Water Mirror, it is said that "in the north of the river facing the thunder water, there is Zhou Yu Temple, also called the Great Raytheon", which means that Zhou Yu was the Raytheon at that time. It is no wonder that it is recorded in the Book of Jin that when Wu Dong conquered Guan Yu, "the thunder was in the front, and Zhou Yu was in the back." Zhou Yu turned into a Raytheon after his death and came to pay his respects. However, the influence of Zhou Yu's image of Raytheon is too small to be mentioned in later generations.
The contributions of Zhou Yu and Battle of Red Cliffs have always been controversial.
This has already appeared in the Tang Dynasty. Du Mu's famous sentence "The east wind does not follow, and Tongquetai locks Er Qiao in spring." . "It turns out.
In Du Mu's eyes, the victory of Battle of Red Cliffs is entirely Zhou Yu's luck, which seems to have little to do with his own strength. Even so, in the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, the influence and status of Shu Han in folk stories became bigger and bigger, and Zhou Yu's contribution was slowly absorbed.
Zhou Yu was mentioned in the poem, and his tone changed completely.
"Suddenly flew to the ship in Chibi, and helped Korea to have private rights as an excuse. How to stop the dragon rain and want to break Liu's pulse. " In other words, Zhou Yu only considers the Wu Dong family, and the pattern is too small. He also wanted to imprison Liu Bei and try to break the Han Dynasty. What a despicable person.
Others said, "Zhou Lang was a hero of ancient human beings, and the Han family was fearless. Wan Li's Central Plains has not been recovered, and Zhou Yu was lucky to see that Chibi won a total victory in a row. He fought in Chibi. He just saved a local government, made no contribution to the Han Dynasty, and was not a hero.
At the same time, before Battle of Red Cliffs, Liu Bei sent Zhuge Liang to Wu Dong to participate in the planning of Battle of Red Cliffs. In the folk impression, how can such a great and clever mind not give an idea?
At least since the Song Dynasty, there have been stories about Zhuge Liang's trip to Wu Dong and Zhou Yuji's town. Both of them said that there was a plan to break Cao Cao, and each wrote in the palm of his hand and stretched out together, all of which were fire characters, so they set up a fire attack plan. This yamamoto is called Garlic Mountain, because garlic grows everywhere. From then on, this mountain was named Calculation Mountain, and it was calculated by calculation. See Wang Xiangzhi's Auspicious Life in the Ground in Song Dynasty. He also said that before the Tang Dynasty, this mountain was written as Garlic Mountain, but after the Tang Dynasty, Lu Guimeng's poem became Number Mountain, because he praised Zhou Yu's achievements in Chibi. The poem wrote: "Zhou Lang's plan is clear, the night is fixed, and Cao Shi's boat is gray during the day." Zhou Yu was mentioned in his poems, but Zhuge Liang was not mentioned. Perhaps Zhuge Liang did not participate in folklore at that time, but in the Song Dynasty, Zhuge Liang not only participated, but also played a key role.
This function is to borrow the east wind.
Isn't it said that the east wind is not in harmony, and the bronze finches lock Er Qiao in spring?
Your lucky success depends on the east wind, which was borrowed by Zhuge Liang.
In this way, Zhuge Liang's key role in Battle of Red Cliffs was highlighted, so Zhou Yu was only a contribution in Battle of Red Cliffs, and Zhuge Liang was the key factor of victory.
So the image of Zhou Yu in The Story of Three Kingdoms was completely changed.
In Pinghua, Cao Cao Enemy at the Gates and Sun Quan sent someone to invite Zhou Yu, who only knew how to drink, to "play with Xiao Qiao every day", regardless of state affairs. Sun Quan gave Zhou Yu a shipment of gold, silver, jewelry, silks and satins as a gift to his subordinates, which was also wonderful, but Zhou Yu accepted the gift and still ignored it. Finally, Sun Quan brought Zhuge Liang and Lu Su together. Zhuge Liang talked about national interests, but Zhou Yu kept silent. Finally, Zhuge Liang said that Cao Cao came here for Daqiao Xiaoqiao. When Zhou Yu heard that it was his own interest, he immediately became angry and said that he and Cao Cao were at odds.
However, when Zhou Yu faced Cao Cao alone, his IQ was still online, and his double fork tactics and risks were very successful. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the story of borrowing an arrow from a straw boat was written on Zhou Yu (in fact, it was really Sun Quangan). But once the opponent was Liu Bei, Zhou Yu immediately became an idiot. After Battle of Red Cliffs, Zhou Yu hosted a banquet in honor of Liu Bei at the Yellow Crane Tower. As a result, Liu Bei praised the banquet and wrote a song for him: "The world is in chaos, and Liu will die. Heroes came forth in large numbers and swept in all directions. When Wu Lin is alive, files will destroy rigidity. Han Xing Xi, taking virtue as good. Xian Zairen Sid, beautiful Zhou Lang! " He praised Zhou Yu so much that he was so happy to drink and play the piano that he completely forgot the purpose of the party. At last he got drunk and Liu Bei walked away. When Zhou Yu woke up, he was so angry that he dropped the piano.
This story was deleted in the later version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but it was very popular at that time, and there was a Yuan drama "Liu Xuande Drunk Away the Yellow Crane Tower" to explain this matter. Then Liu Bei's son-in-law crossed the river, and the drama "Two Strategists Crossing the River by Fighting with Intelligence" in Yuan Dynasty was about fighting with intelligence. In fact, it is the story of Zhuge Liang's remote operation to crush Zhou Yu, so there is a famous joke "Zhou Lang's clever plan to secure the world, losing his wife and losing his soldiers".
In the story of the Three Kingdoms, in front of Liu Bei Group, not only Zhou Yu, but the whole Soochow became a clown. This is how Zhou Yu's image is shaped. Until later, in the hands of Luo Guanzhong, Zhou Yu's image was rationalized as much as possible in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and he wrote a heroic image that was romantic and elegant, and a young man was successful. But in the face of Zhuge Liang, he still became a foil, and poor Zhou Yu never had a chance to turn over in the story.
