Is Ma Chao really handsome in history?

There are often people who discuss the physiognomy of the characters of the Three Kingdoms, each with their own opinions, but no one has really seen them, and no one's conclusions can be sure.

We exclude non-historical factors, and the records of all historical figures, including Ma Chao, can be said to be few and far between. But from Ma Chao's point of view, whether in romance, official history, games, or storytelling, the appearance of the writing is perfect. This is very likely to be true, and for me, there are two sentences that are the most true, one is "Jin Ma Chao" and the other is "Jin Lu Bu, Yin Ma Chao".

This is an affirmation of folklore.

Ma Chao's identity is more special, he is not only a general, but more precisely, he is a prince and king, his special identity is different from other generals, in this way, the education he has received and the world he has seen have nothing to say, his personal temperament is undoubted, if everyone has a deep understanding, this truth is quite realistic now. Because of this, his popularity was very high at that time, whether it was recorded or rumored "Jin Ma Chao" or "Jin Lu Bu, Yin Ma Chao" to some extent show that their appearance is extraordinary. There is no wind and no waves, and if the name does not live up to its true name, people will not spread it like this.

Then there is the bloodline of General Meng Qi, the blood of a quarter of the Qiang people, and the mixed-race people are both smart and beautiful, which is not without scientific basis, some people say that Ma Chao was born in the relatively desolate Xiliang of the Central Plains, and the harsh climate and desolate geographical environment are a problem, but the Xiliang area at that time was much better than the current situation, and there is another point, as a prince for generations, he is quite particular about diet and maintenance.

There is no description of Ma Chao's appearance in the official history, and all evaluations focus on one word: brave.

Broad shoulders and thin waist, with a hint of wild majesty, and a little bit of savagery, silver saddle white horse, must be very handsome.

Ma Chao Ma Chao (176 222), the character Meng Qi, is the youngest of the four tiger generals of Shu Han. Since childhood, he has lived in Xiliang with his father Ma Teng. In 208, the contradiction between Ma Teng and Han Sui became increasingly serious.

Ma Teng had to take his whole family (except Ma Chao) to Xuchang to defect to Cao Cao, who made him an official in Yecheng. Ma Chao still stayed in Xiliang. Cao Cao asked him to go to Xuchang several times in the future, but Ma Chao refused.

In 211, Cao Cao trained in Wancheng, and Ma Chao and Han Sui suspected that they were trying to kill themselves, so they raised troops to attack Chang'an. Because Ma Teng was in Yecheng, Cao Cao's subordinates thought that Ma Chao would not rebel, and as a result, the unprepared Chang'an City was captured by the Xiliang soldiers in an instant. When Cao Cao heard the news, he immediately led his troops to Tongguan and engaged Ma Chao.

As a result, Cao Cao won a great victory and pacified Xiliang in one fell swoop. Ma Chao had to go to Hanzhong with his younger brother Ma Dai and his subordinate Pang De to defect to Zhang Lu. After Cao Cao returned to Xuchang, he immediately exterminated Ma Teng and the three clans.

Ma Teng's death, Ma Chao has an unshirkable responsibility.

Later, Liu Bei attacked Liu Zhang in Xichuan, and Liu Zhang asked Zhang Lu for help, and Zhang Lu immediately sent Ma Chao to the rescue. At that time, Pang De was ill, so Ma Chao left him in Hanzhong, and took his younger brother Ma Dai to Jiameng Pass to attack Liu Bei. As a result, Ma Chao fell for Zhuge Liang's discordant plan, Zhang Lu refused to take him in, and Ma Chao had no choice but to submit to Liu Bei with Ma Dai.

In the battle of Chengdu, Ma Chao made the first contribution, which laid a good foundation for his position in Shuzhong. Later, when Liu Bei was crowned the king of Hanzhong, he named Ma Chao as one of the four tiger generals. In 221, Liu Bei, who had just been proclaimed emperor, raised an army to attack Eastern Wu.

Ma Chao was seriously ill at this time, so he did not go out with Liu Bei. In the second year, Ma Chao's illness became more and more serious, and he went to Liu Bei before he died. said that his family was almost killed by Cao Cao, only from his younger brother Ma Dai, please treat him kindly, and there is nothing else to worry about.

He was 47 years old.

There is also a big difference between Ma Chao in history and what is written in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". In order to make Cao Cao more brutal, Luo Guanzhong changed the order in which Cao Cao killed Ma Teng and Ma Chao raised troops. In this way, the essence of the facts changes.

In fact, for the demise of the Ma Teng family, it is Ma Chao who is really responsible. And in terms of the time of Ma Chao's death, Luo Guanzhong let Ma Chao live for nearly three more years. In fact, Ma Chao died of illness in the process of Liu Bei's attack on Wu, not after Zhuge Liang's southern expedition as in the romance.

In addition, the term "Jin Ma Chao" is not recorded in the official history, Ma Chao was thirty-six years old at the time of the Battle of Tongguan, and should be regarded as a middle-aged general, not a young general.

Historical evaluation.

Zhuge Liang: Meng Qi is both civil and military, heroic, the master of the first generation, the disciple of Huang and Peng, and should compete with Yide to drive the first "Three Kingdoms: Shu Book VI".

Yang Fu: Super trustworthy, brave and brave, even Qiang, Hu Xin. "Romance of the Three Kingdoms: Shu Book VI".

Yang Fu: "Ma Chao betrayed his father and betrayed the king, tortured and killed the state generals, how can he be the only one who is responsible, and all the doctors in the state are ashamed." ”

Zhang Lu's subordinates: "If someone doesn't love his relatives, how can he love others?" Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Book VI of Shu

Chen Shou: Ma Chao hindered Rong Yong, in order to overthrow his clan, it's a pity! Can be poor to Tai, not better! "Romance of the Three Kingdoms: Shu Book VI".

Yang Xi: Hussars rose up, even the horizontal and subordinate, the first thing was Sanqin, and the river and Tong were protected. The plan is in the dynasty, or different or the same, the enemy takes advantage of the provocation, and the family is ruined and the army is killed. Be obedient and anti-moral, and entrust the phoenix and climb the dragon. "Three Kingdoms: Shu Book 15".

Wang Shang: Super brave but not benevolent, not thinking about it, not to be a tooth. "The Old Biography of Yizhou".

Sun Sheng: It is Zhou and Zheng who are evil, Henkel asks for soup, Kui Huan donates his son, Ma Chao betrays his father, and he is so cruel and forbearing, Pei Note of "Three Kingdoms: Wei Shu Twenty-four".

Yang Kan: "In the past, Wei Wu and Han Sui and Ma Chao rejected each other according to Tongguan, and then they were super talents, and they were not enemies of Wei Wu, but those who were undecided for a long time were in danger. ”

Wei Qi: The generals of the West are all erected and bent, and they have no intention of the world.

Romance is an opera, in fact, Ma Chao is suspicious and suspicious, his six relatives do not recognize him, he detains the literati, and kills the generals of the Cao Cao clique who surrendered, which is unpopular, and the people betray their relatives and leave, and in the end, no one trusts him.

It's not much different, it's a descendant of the southwestern aristocracy, and it's extremely brave and strategic.

Ma Chao is more handsome, from the perspective of game modeling alone, Ma Chao is much more handsome than Zhao Yun. And most of the soft auxiliary sisters also prefer Ma Chao a little bit.

I think Zhao Yunshuai is handsome. The description of Zhao Yun's appearance in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is "born eight feet long, thick eyebrows and big eyes, handsome and chic, white face and beardless, eight feet tall, broad and heavy, and majestic".

The Legend of Yun Bei records: "The cloud is eight feet long and majestic." The eight feet of the Han Dynasty are about equivalent to the current meters, and the "majestic posture" also shows that Zhao Yun is a man with a majestic appearance and a dignified appearance.

Ma Chao and Zhao Yun are more handsome, so it depends on who is handsome.

In fact, it is difficult to determine whether Ma Chao is handsome or not, one of which is that we don't have Ma Chao's **, just rely on some words to conclude whether Ma Chao is handsome or not.

It is obviously inaccurate, and the definition of beauty and ugliness is not the same in each dynasty, such as an idiom: Yan is thin and fat, this.

is talking about Zhao Feiyan and Yang Yuhuan, Zhao Feiyan is synonymous with thinness, and Yang Yuhuan's Tang Dynasty is fat as beauty, obviously this.

Both extremes are considered to be synonymous with beauty, so is Ma Chao handsome or not? I think it should be handsome, the ancients also paid attention to pleasing to the eye, there are many examples of not being treated well because they are not good-looking, such as Pang Tong, Zhong Kui, and in the romance, Ma Chao also has a nickname called Jin.

Ma Chao, this brocade may be talking about clothes, since Ma Chao loves to wear beautiful clothes, he should also be a person who loves beauty, I think he loves beauty so much.

People are not ugly, people often have a kind of self-confidence to do certain things, often a person is ugly and not so confident to wear flowers.

The branches are spreading.

Ma Chao, known as Xiliang "Jin Ma Chao", "white horse silver gun, face like a crown of jade, eyes like a meteor" This is a word to describe Ma Chao, a "brocade" has proved that it is a rare beautiful man in the Three Kingdoms.

In history, Ma Chao was very particular about dressing, she was wearing white clothes and white armor, and her appearance was very outstanding, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a spiritual might, from the outside, it was called spiritual might, so she was called Xiliang Jin Ma Chao.

Ma Chaoduo is describing his martial arts, but he doesn't seem to have an appearance, only his appearance.

It is not said in the history books, but it is said in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the face is like a crown of jade, the eyes are like a meteor, the tiger body and ape arms, the belly is wolf's waist, and the voice is strong.

It's a handsome performance.

It's very handsome, Jin Machao's nickname is not called blind. But according to the current aesthetics, I should think he is not good-looking. The current vision Ma Chao should be regarded as a tough guy.

Ma Teng's son, who became famous as a young man, Cao Cao has repeatedly recruited Ma Chao into Beijing as an official, but Ma Chao has refused. Then Ma Teng entered Beijing and was named a guard captain, and Ma Chao commanded Ma Teng's troops.

In the sixteenth year of Jian'an (211), Cao Cao ruled Guanzhong, and Ma Chao united with Han Sui, the princes of Guanzhong, to resist Cao Cao, which once posed a great threat to Cao Cao.

Therefore, Ma Chao is very strong and handsome.

Very handsome. During the period of the Three Kingdoms, there were five tiger generals in Shu, among whom the name was Ma Chao, who was strong in martial arts and handsome in appearance, and was known as "Jin Ma Chao".

is not handsome, not as handsome as Liu Bei.

A military general, heroic.

Historically, Ma Chao was handsome and handsome.

Jin Ma Chao's "brocade" describes Ma Chao as handsome, extraordinary in temperament, and outstanding in strength. "Xiliang Jinma Chao".

It is to describe Ma Chao's appearance as very handsome.

After all, history is history, whether the appearance of Ma Chao recorded in the annals of history is exaggerated, we can't really know what Ma Chao's appearance is, it may be handsome, or it may be ugly. Ma Chao in the TV series is a character based on historical records.

The aesthetics of each era in history are different, and even if there is a portrait, it is probably according to the aesthetic beautification of the time. No one knows without an image...
