How was Guan Yu respected by future generations, and how did Guan Yu become famous?

The true deification of Guan Yu was formed after Guan Yu's death. After Guan Yu's death, Cao Cao crowned Guan Yu as the king of Jing, until the Jin Dynasty, he became a term for brave generals, and further deepened Guan Yu's status. Later, from the Northern Song Dynasty, it continued to be sealed to the Qing Dynasty, and became a martial saint on the same level as the literary saint Confucius.

In order to consolidate their dominant position, the feudal ruling class of successive dynasties regarded Guan Yu as the embodiment of "loyalty", and Guan Yu's status was raised higher and higher, "from the prince to the king", "the emperor in turn", and finally respected as the "martial saint". The emperors of all dynasties took Guan Yu as the embodiment of loyalty and righteousness as the material for educating the patriotic beliefs of loyal monarchs, and the process of "Hou and Wang, King and Emperor, Emperor and Saint, Holy and Heaven" Please refer to the following table: Dynasty Emperor Time Title Northern Song Song Huizong The first year of Chongning (1102) Zhonghui Gong Northern Song Song Huizong Chongning 3rd year (1104) Chongning Zhenjun Northern Song Song Huizong 2nd year of Daguan (1107) King Wu'an Northern Song Song Huizong Xuanhe 5th year (1123) King Wuyong Wu'an Southern Song Song Gaozong 2nd year of Jianyan (1128) King Zhuang Miao Yi Yong Wu An King Southern Song Dynasty Song Xiaozong Chunxi 14th year (1187) Zhuang Miao Yi Yong Wu An Yingji King Yuan Taiding Emperor Tianli 8th year (1335) Manifestation of righteousness and courage Wu An Yingji King Ming Mingshenzong Wanli 42 years (1613) single sword subdued demons, Shenwei Yuan Zhen Tianzun Guan Shengdi Ming Ming Sizong Chongzhen 3rd year (1630) Zhenyuan Xianying Zhaoming Wing Han Tianzun Qing Qing Shizu Shunzhi 9th year (1652) Zhongyi Shenwu Guan Shengdi Qing Qing Shizong Yongzheng 3rd year (1725) Three generations of dukes, holy great-grandfathers, Guangzhao dukes, Shengzu, Yuchang Gong, Shengkao, Chengzhong Gong Qing Qing Gaozong The first year of Qianlong (1736) Shanxi Guan Fuzi Qing Qing Gaozong Qianlong 31 years (1767) Lingyou 2 characters Qing Qing Renzong Jiaqing 18 years (1813) Ren Yong 2 characters Qing Qing Xuanzong Daoguang 8 years (1828) Loyalty, righteousness, martial arts, Lingyou, benevolence, Yong, and Wei Xianguan Shengdi.

First, Guan Yu's righteousness. Guan Yu is the embodiment of righteousness in the romance, mainly in the feelings of Liu Guan and Zhang.

Second, Guan Yu's martial arts. In Romance, Guan Yu has no opponent, he is often invincible, and he is invincible"Take the head of the general among the hosts, like probing the bag", Guan Yu holds the eighty-two catties of the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, and many famous generals have become the ghosts of Guan Yu's knife.

Most of today's worship of Guan Yu is in his righteousness and bravery. In the romance, through the artistic decoration and exaggeration of literature, Guan Yu's heroic image of Yibo Yuntian and superior martial arts was perfectly shaped. In the romance, Guan Yu is a symbol of justice and a symbol of bravery, so in the minds of fans of the Three Kingdoms, Guan Yu is the embodiment of holiness and holiness.

When Liu Bei raised his army, Guan Yu followed Liu Bei, was loyal, and was deeply trusted by Liu Bei. Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and others entered Shu, Guan Yu guarded Jingzhou, after Liu Bei seized Hanzhong, Guan Yu took advantage of the situation to attack Cao Wei in the north, flooded the Seventh Army, captured Yu Ban, beheaded Pang De, and shocked Huaxia, so scared that Cao Cao almost moved the capital to hide, but Eastern Wu attacked Jingzhou, and Guan Yu was defeated and killed. After Guan Yu died, he was gradually deified and respected as "Guan Gong" by the people; The Qing Dynasty was enshrined as "the Emperor of Loyalty, Righteousness, Martial Spirit, Benevolence, Courage and Might", and was worshiped as the "Martial Saint", which was as famous as the "Literary Sage" Confucius.

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" respects him as the head of the "Five Tiger Generals", and Mao Zonggang calls it the "righteousness" of the "Romance" Three Uniques".

Mainly because he was loyal to Liu Bei, no matter how Cao Cao treated her, he didn't surrender, until he was captured by Ma Zhong, he still swore not to surrender, and his martial arts were secondary.

Guan Yu became famous indeed because of "warm wine and slashing Huaxiong". Guan Yu took the initiative to ask Ying to fight Huaxiong and killed Huaxiong in a very short time before the warm wine cooled, and Guan Yu shocked the princes from then on.

"Warm Wine Chopping Hua (huà) Xiong" is a classic plot in the long history ** "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", one of the four famous novels. What is described is: Dong Zhuo deposed the young emperor Liu Bian and established Liu Xie, the king of Chenliu, as the emperor, who was cruel and unkind and abused power in the court.

The princes of the Eighteenth Route of the Kwantung Province, composed of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others, jointly attacked Dong Zhuo, but the forward Sun Jian was defeated by Hua Xiong when he marched to Bishui Pass, and Hua Xiong was invincible.

When Pan Feng and other generals were killed by Hua Xiong one after another, Guan Yu took the initiative to invite Ying to go to fight Hua Xiong, and killed Hua Xiong in a very short time before the warm wine cooled, and Guan Yu became famous from then on. Seen in the fifth chapter of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

For Cao Cao, Guan Yu helped him kill Yuan Shao's fierce generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou, relieve the siege of White Horse, and release Cao Cao in Huarong Daoyi;

For Liu Bei, he traveled thousands of miles to escort his sister-in-law, guarded Jingzhou, flooded the Seventh Army to break Cao's army, and went to the meeting to establish the prestige of Shu Han.

The biggest contribution is that there is a god position, and everyone knows that Guan Erye has received folk incense.

Big credit: 1. Fight with Xu Huang against Yan Liang, and Yan Liang was killed (note, with Xu Huang).

2, confronted Yu Ban, but unexpectedly, the river water swelled and there was a flood (note that the river water surged), Yu Ban lacked knowledge of flood control, the Seventh Army was flooded, and Guan Yu took the opportunity to clean him up.

3. After flooding the Seventh Army, Guan Yu bribed the local forces in Henan and let them make trouble, so that Cao Cao wanted to move the capital to avoid the limelight (I personally think this is his best action).

Didn't going to the meeting alone help Liu Bei a lot?
