Big bellies can t fight at all, why do the portraits of ancient generals have a general s belly ?

Normally, the general's age is not young, it is normal for middle-aged people to be fat, and when the war is fought, the general is mostly in command, and the "general's belly" also adds majesty to them!

Later painters would generally draw a "general's belly" for the general, regardless of whether the general was fat or relatively thin, the painter would draw the image of the "general's belly". Because in the understanding of the ancients, having a strong waist is powerful and powerful, and only then can it look like a general.

It's not that a big belly can't fight at all, fighting a war doesn't depend on appearance, fighting a war also requires certain skills and methods, and the portrait of an ancient general is not necessarily real, perhaps, it is also processed, so that people can feel the image of the general more vividly.

The general's belly may be to highlight a state of wealth, after all, if a person is too thin, it is difficult for people to associate with wealth.

In the era of cold weapons, generals had to lead soldiers to fight, and the ** dozens of catties in their hands, how could they dance without two strengths, and it was a wrong understanding that a big belly could not fight.

I don't think this statement is correct, a big belly can also fight, because in ancient times, many generals liked to eat meat and drink wine, so they all had a big belly.

It's not said that big bellies can't fight at all! Because a fat person can also be a flexible fat person.

The portraits of ancient generals all have a general's belly. That's because the painters have never seen a real general, and they rely on their own imagination and understanding to draw it, so in order to be able to appear the general majestic, so they will draw the waist thicker.

The big belly is also known as the "general's belly", and most of the portraits of some generals that have been handed down since ancient times are fat people with general's belly, such as Yue Fei, Qi Jiguang, and about others, it can be seen from the portraits that they have a common feature, that is, the general's belly. They are all generals on the battlefield, and if they are really fat, they must not be very flexible, so the general's belly should be a taboo for soldiers. However, the general's belly has become a characteristic of the generals.

may be because as generals, most of them are elderly, they have all fought on the battlefield, made a lot of contributions, and finally became generals.

When people get older, they will gain weight, just like today's athletes, when they are on the field, the consumption of the body is relatively large, so the appetite is also relatively large, and the amount of exercise is large when they compete, but after retirement, the appetite is still large, and the amount of exercise is reduced, so it is easy to gain weight. The generals in ancient times actually had the same reason with them, as a general, most of the time he commanded behind the scenes, and rarely went to the front line. We can see from film and television works that when there is a war, the general goes to war first, but in fact, in the real war, the general does not go to the front line.

The main role of a general is to set up a formation and command. If the general goes to the front line and something happens to him, then there will be no one to command the army, and it will be a mess.

There is also the fact that the painter paints a general's belly to the general, in order to reflect the majesty of the general, and many people who paint have never seen the general's deity, but draw it through imagination. Most of the people who can get the qualification for portraits are very powerful generals, and there are also people who have been canonized as gods. Therefore, the painters will draw the appearance of the military commander according to their own understanding, and in order to be able to look solemn, they will draw a very thick waist.

It looks mighty. In ancient times, it was described that a fierce warrior was nearly ten girths tall and waist-size-bound, and objectively speaking, a real warrior had to have a thicker waist. After all, the fierce general is not engaged in fitness, he has to have a muscular waist and a thin waist.

For example, if we can still see strong men in our country now, it will probably be the wrestlers at the Naadam Conference in Mongolia.

<>These two ** are Mongolian wrestlers of the past and present, you see what body type. The real fierce general is actually like this, strong and powerful. It's just that the ancient literati didn't respect this kind of reckless image very much, and in all kinds of literary and artistic works, this kind of role is cannon fodder or comedy role, and the protagonist general must be a Confucian general who is both civil and military.

But there are very few Confucian generals, Chen Qingzhi is only one, most of them are mixed up from the bottom, if there is no strong physique, he will die in the melee early, how can he have a chance to become a general.

Not all generals have such fat stomachs, it's just that some people have bad habits, while some generals don't have stomachs at all and are in good shape.

Most of the generals have very good stomachs, because they often need to lead their troops to fight, so they eat more, which causes belly fat.

Of course not, because in the eyes of the ancients, the generals were high and powerful and ate well, so they would be fat, and such a figure would also show that this person is very powerful.

Not really, it varies from person to person, there are some generals who have very small bellies, and there are some who have large bellies.

Yes, the generals' bellies are fatter, because they usually need more nutrients, so they look fatter.

No. The generals in ancient times were in very good health, they did not appear obese, and their martial arts were very high.

Yes, generals generally have big bellies, and generals generally like to drink and have beer bellies, and generals are generally very good at eating and drinking.

It is indeed inconvenient to have a big belly, which will affect your progress very much, and it will also make you inconvenient. But these generals were very brave and good at fighting back then, so their size was also very large, which would not affect their strength.

Absolutely. In ancient times, generals would not have had the possibility of a big belly at all. The reason why the portraits of ancient generals are all big-bellied is just to improve the majesty of ancient generals.

No, it won't. Holding the general's belly on the battlefield will look more energetic, giving the enemy a deterrent effect.

It's very inconvenient, it will affect the flexibility of the body, and it will be easy to lose the war, so the average general will not have a general's belly, and the portrait is painted for good looks.

When you go to the battlefield, you don't feel inconvenient at all, and you only need to fight when you are fighting, and you don't need to pay too much action, so there is no inconvenience.

It won't be inconvenient, because the ancient people were used to it and could use it well, so there wouldn't be any inconvenience.
