A little question about Zhang Fei

Before writing this article, I collected a lot of historical materials, and for each person I wanted to write, I went to see their biographies in the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" and the "Book of the Later Han", after all, they are first-hand historical materials and have the highest credibility.

Some of the modern people's views on Zhang Fei mainly come from the Ming Dynasty, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was written in the Ming Dynasty, far away from the Han Dynasty, like modern people, Luo Guanzhong wrote the Romance, and there will be a situation that cannot get close to the times, and the situation at that time is imposed on the late Han Dynasty.

They were in a worse time than in modern times, when there were more and more comprehensive ways to search for information, and when conditions were worse, there was less information available.

For example, Zhang Fei is a butcher, a local tyrant, and has family assets, but in fact, Zhang Fei's biography in the official history does not mention Zhang Fei's origin, and the record of his early years is only "Zhang Fei's character is Yide, and he is also from Zhuo County, and he is a few years older than Yu, and Brother Fei is a matter of things".

And the so-called Zhang Fei is a local tyrant, very rich, can calligraphy, is a white-faced scholar, looks very handsome, can draw beautiful pictures, etc., there is no record in the history books that can be proven.

And many people think that Zhang Fei should express the word Yide in order to match "fly", but in fact, the ancient word "yi" is fake "crane", which is a kind of flying water bird.

All the sayings originated in the Ming Dynasty, and were fabricated by literati in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and the causes are relatively complex.

In fact, if you think about it, you can understand that Liu Bei is not a nobleman, he can only be regarded as a ranger at that time, and there are thousands of relatives in the Han family.

Guan Yu is another murderer, who committed a crime and fled to Youzhou for refuge, such an identity state can make Zhang Fei a "brother", obviously Zhang Fei is not from a big family.

Another point, which of the rich children in the family didn't get married early?

Even Guan Yu got married and had children in his hometown, and Zhang Fei was stunned that he robbed Xiahou Yuan's fourteen-year-old niece as a wife at the age of thirty-six, and then he had children, obviously not a child from a rich family, and even his family background was not as good as Guan Yu.

In 184, the three of them raised troops against the Yellow Turban, Liu Bei was twenty-four years old at that time, Zhang Fei was twenty years old, and before that, he and Guan Yu followed Liu Bei together, which is equivalent to following Liu Bei at the age of sixteen or seventeen.

There are also some problems of common sense, such as the so-called beauty painting, the traditional famous beauty painting, that is, the picture of the lady, only shined in the Tang Dynasty, and the paper that can be used for painting at the end of the Han Dynasty has not reached the standard, everyone is still writing on bamboo slips and silk, painting murals, brick paintings, Zhang Fei painting beauty pictures, it really can't stand scrutiny.

And the so-called two daughters are queens, so Zhang Fei must be handsome, in fact, it can't stand scrutiny, specifically, you can go and see the actor Li Jingfei who played Zhang Fei in the old version of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and he appeared to say, his daughter is so beautiful.
