Why did only Guan Yu become an immortal in the end among the famous generals of the Three Kingdoms?

There are many gods and goddesses in the myths and legends of our country, such as the Three Qings, the Jade Emperor, and the common land lords. But Guan Yu.

This immortal is more special, he is a real character who once existed, but he was actually a god, and now some people want to pray for blessings or do business, and they have to worship Guan Erye.

He was named the God of Wealth by later generations.

Let's take a look at his path to godhood.

When he was alive, he was a man of the hour, and he killed Yan Liang in the Four Caves of Hebei in seconds.

and Wen Chou, who was named the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion.

This is also his favorite name, he was posthumously named Zhuang Miao Hou after his death, the difference between general and Hou is very big, Guan Yu from life to death, took the title of two Hou, it can be seen that his ability is very great. <>

In the Ming Dynasty, Ming Sizong named him Zhenyuan Xianying Zhaoming Yi Han Tianzun, at this time he was already regarded as a god, and in the Qing Dynasty, he was named the Emperor Guan Sheng.

The reason why these two dynasties "valued" Guan Yu so much actually had their own small purposes, they just took a fancy to Guan Yu's loyalty and wanted to create a character loyal to the court as an example.

The Qing Dynasty had a deeper idea of making him a god, and they wanted to set a new example to replace Yue Fei.

can also indirectly eliminate the anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty thoughts of many people, so do you understand why the Ming and Qing dynasties made him a god? It's all purposeful. <>

In fact, before these two dynasties, Guan Yu was also named a god several times, the Northern Song Dynasty.

At that time, there were really few generals, the army's combat effectiveness was relatively weak, and Liaojin had always been defeated, morale was getting lower and lower, morale decided something, everyone knows that this is what determines success or failure, if morale is low, it will basically be defeated, so the Northern Song Dynasty court continued to drive morale with an exemplary figure.

But because his subordinates are not talked about by the generals, and they can't fabricate a powerful character out of thin air, then I think of Guan Yu, because Guan Yu is very capable of fighting, is the idol of many soldiers, if he is used as an example, it can greatly improve the morale of the army, so he simply sealed Guan Yu as a god, the meaning is very simple, everyone fights hard, and the powerful character will be famous for centuries even if he dies. <>

Summary: Sealing Guan Yu as a god is something that the ancient imperial court did to promote its own values, but Guan Yu deserves all this.

Because Guan Yu is not only powerful in martial arts, but also very loyal, and has left a lot of good stories, only Guan Yu has become an immortal.

There are many Guandi temples all over the country, and there are nearly 300,000 Guandi temples in the country in the middle of the Qing Dynasty. People worship Guan Yu as the "God of Martial Wealth", so they have also made a lot of movies about Guan Yu, such as the movie "Guan Yunchang" co-starring Donnie Yen, Jiang Wen, and Sun Li. So why do people worship Guan Yu as a "god"?

Why did Guan Yu become a god?

To become a human being a god, there are at least two prerequisites: great charisma and a reputation for great achievements. Guan Yu is extremely brave and has made great achievements in his life:

Xuwen ugly killed Yan Liang, warmed wine and beheaded Huaxiong, walked thousands of miles alone, went to the meeting with a single knife, and flooded the ...... of the Seventh ArmyThe green dragon glaive is carrying the wind and thunder, and the beautiful hair flutters peerlessly. Chen Shou called Guan Yu "Mighty China" in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

Only those who have great skills and real skills can reach the point of being superb'degree, people will be sure that he can protect everyone. Guan Yu has endured a long test of more than 900 years from the siege of Baima to the marquis of Hanshou Pavilion to becoming a god. In 1102 A.D., Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty first named Guan Yu as "Loyal Hui Gong", and after 6 years, he felt puzzled, and then crowned him as "Chongning Zhenjun" and "King of Righteous and Brave Wu'an".

In the eighteenth year of Wanli, Mingshenzong named Guan Yu as "Xietian Protector of the Country and Loyal and Righteous Emperor", and 22 years later, he was crowned as "Emperor of the Three Realms of Demon Suppression, Shenwei Yuanzhen Tianzun, and Emperor Guan Sheng". In the first year of Shunzhi, the Qing court named Guan Yu "Loyal and Righteous Shenwu Guan Shengdi", and in 1879, Guan Yu's title was added to "Loyalty, Righteousness, Divine Spirit, Benevolence, Bravery, Majesty, Protecting the Country, Protecting the People, Sincere Appeasement, Praising Xuande Guan Shengdi".

There have been 16 emperors, 23 times for Guan Yu decreed and sealed, and each one is higher than the other. In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, there were about 300,000 imperial temples in the country, and there were 116 in Beijing alone. Guan Yu's personality charm is first reflected in the word "loyalty", followed by righteousness, benevolence, bravery, and martyrdom ......Through the ages, one person is eternal.

And "bare face and red heart", consistent inside and outside, "hidden places are worthy of the blue sky", down, open, and there is nothing unsightly in front of and behind people. When Guan Yu was still alive, he was already almost like a god, even if he was frustrated or failed, he could achieve a famous sentence through the ages, and it was rumored to be a beautiful talk. Such as "scraping bones to cure poison", "Huarong Daoyi interprets Cao Cao", "carelessly losing Jingzhou", "walking wheat city" ......is so loyal and brave, and dies a great death, even if he is killed, it makes people feel that they are not discouraged and anti-male, not ugly and anti-beautiful.

Guan Yu frequently "appeared" and "manifested" in various folk legends, rescued the suffering and rescued the people, and helped the people's livelihood, and the power of his heroic spirit became more and more divine in the society. In an era of lack of faith, Guan Yu's loyalty became a rare quality; The commodity society is mercenary, but Guan Yu is "righteous in the Spring and Autumn Period" and "righteous and cloudy". When casualness, cowardice, and selfishness became the norm, Guan Yu's bravery and hardness in his bones seemed to be something that only God could do in the eyes of modern people.

Guan Yu represents the core values of Chinese culture, how can he not become a god? His becoming a god can be said to be a matter of course, becoming the will of the whole people, and conforming to the trend of history, so he will "respect Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism and the three religions, and worship the four people of Shinong, industry and commerce". There are more than 100 professions in China that worship Guan Yu as the "ancestor master" or "protector god".

He is truly the "God Almighty" and is worshiped by the whole people.

Analysis: First of all, Guan Yu is a fierce general, a fierce general that even Cao Cao admires;

Secondly, Guan Yu is the most righteous, when Cao Cao had a small banquet on the third day and a big banquet on the fifth day, he was regarded as a guest, but he was always unmoved, "in Cao Ying's heart in Han". At the same time, he never failed Cao Cao, he was willing to disobey the military order, and Huarong Dao released Cao, which was regarded as repaying Cao Cao's kindness that day.

Again, Guan Yu has a steady temperament (although he is a little proud in the end, but no one is perfect), not as impulsive as Zhang Fei.

Among these three points, perhaps people pay more attention to the second point, Guan Yu's righteousness is well known to the world, and this is what everyone admires him the most.

1.Guan Yu studied in a private school when he was a child and was literate and hyphenated, especially likes to read "Spring and Autumn", worships the righteousness of Spring and Autumn, and takes it as his own personal cultivation standard. This was in line with Confucian standards, so his spirit of night reading was sought after and promoted.

2.Guan Yu and Liu Bei and Zhang Fei both have the experience of doing small businesses for a living, Liu Bei sells straw shoes, Guan Yu buys mung beans, Zhang Fei sells meat, Guan Yu fights with Zhang Fei because of justice, Liu Bei fights, and the three like-minded people are three in Taoyuan.

3."Romance of the Three Kingdoms" Guan Yu's experience of dealing with money. Cao Cao defeated Liu Bei in Xuzhou, and Liu Bei's two wives were besieged on a dirt mountain, and Cao Cao sent Guan Yu to surrender to Zhang Liao.

Cao Cao met the three prerequisites put forward by Guan Yu: first, he only surrendered to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and did not surrender to Cao Cao; second, Liu Bei's two wives should be supported and respected; The third is that once he knows the whereabouts of his brother Liu Bei, he immediately goes to defect. All three conditions are indispensable.

After surrendering to the Han Dynasty, Guan Yu was awarded the title of Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion for his merits, and he also specially cast a large seal to give to Guan Yu. Later, after Guan Yu learned Liu Bei's information, Guan Yu sealed all the gold and silver he had received over the years, hung the big seal of the Hanshou Pavilion on the hall and left, which was the seal seal. It is said that Guan Yu kept the gold and silver materials in the account books of the four disciplines of original, receipt, export and storage, and when he left, the account books were remembered clearly, and the property was returned to Cao Cao, and all income and expenditure were clear at a glance.

Later generations of businessmen are said to have written a book of letters.

4.Guan Yu is a native of Shanxi, and Shanxi businessmen in the Ming and Qing dynasties were rich in the world。When the Jin merchants went south to north and dominated the world, they always regarded Guan Erye, the hero of their hometown, as the protector when they went out.

Doing business requires connections, and relationships focus on loyalty and integrity. The role models around him are huge, and businessmen all over the country have successively followed the example of Jin merchants to take Guan Er Ye as a protective god, and Guan Er Ye has gradually become the god of wealth in everyone's hearts.

5.Guan Yu is loyal to the liver and gall, and it is also very suitable for folk culture. Guan Erye can become the ancestor of many industries, and the Qing Dynasty's non-governmental organization Tiandihui chose Guan Erye as a worship target in order to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty.

The members of the Heaven and Earth Society are composed of ordinary people from all walks of life, and everyone usually worships Guan Erye, one is to show loyalty and righteousness, and swear by Guan Erye, and the other is to have clear rewards and punishments, and establish a sense of safe belonging. For example, pawn companies. Porter.

Fortune teller. Cotton. Tofu will take Guan Erye as the ancestor.

Even the head shaver worships Guan Yu as his ancestor.

This man is particularly capable, and in ancient times he could bring a lot of financial resources to his country. That's why he will be worshiped as the god of wealth in the end.

Because Guan Yu's strength is very strong, and he is very powerful in martial arts, Guan Yu will be worshiped as the god of wealth by later generations.

Because his image is very in line with folk culture and has the spiritual power of loyalty and courage, he will be worshiped as the god of wealth by later generations.

This is because Guan Yu's strength is very strong, his martial arts are very strong, and Guan Yu is also a loyal and courageous person, he has done business for life before, and his image in people's minds is very tall, so he is regarded as the god of wealth by later generations.

Because Guan Yu and Liu Bei have experience in business, and in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, they often deal with money, so in the Jin Shang period, the merchants of the Jin Dynasty believed that Guan Yu was brave, honest and trustworthy, loyal, and in line with the attributes of the businessman when doing business, so Guan Yu was regarded as the protector of the business, and later with the evolution of the times, more and more people worshiped Guan Erye as the god of wealth.

Because Guan Yu got a lot of money with his kung fu, he could get 12,000** every time he won a battle.

In people's minds, Guan Yu is the embodiment of benevolence, righteousness, loyalty and bravery. Therefore, everyone admires him very much, and hopes that he can be blessed no matter what he does.

The reason why people worship Guan Gong as the god of wealth is because Guan Yu is not moved by gold and silver treasures. It is in stark contrast to some of the world's greedy and righteous people.

His martial arts are not particularly high, but he is very patriotic, and then his moral character is also very noble, he is a loyal and brave general, he is able to fight well on the battlefield, he is respected and admired by many people, and he has laid the foundation for the peace of life now.

He was unjustly killed, and later the local people wanted to pay tribute to Guan Yu, so they set up a statue of him. Later emperors became gods as they continued to be crowned.

This is because although Guan Yu is a military general, he is also very loyal, very powerful, and has a certain sense of dedication, and he also adheres to integrity, so many businessmen also use Guan Yu to protect their façade, and slowly evolve Guan Yu into the God of Wealth.

Guan Yu was ranked first among the five tiger generals during the Three Kingdoms period, and with the development of the culture of later dynasties, people's expectations of Guan Yu were more in wealth, so he became a god of martial wealth.

Guan Yu was regarded as a protective god by the Jin merchants, and later became the god of wealth over time, often in the Guandi Temple.

This is because of the Jin Shang's respectful packaging, because Guan Yu is a big hero in everyone's minds, and he is also a spiritual idol that Jin Shang worships very much, so Jin Shang feels that it is not enough to be a brave hero, so he has given him a lot of legendary colors, and finally succeeded in making him a martial god of wealth. Everyone has the habit of worshiping the God of Wealth during the New Year's holidays, especially some merchants will place statues of the God of Wealth in their stores. So many people are very curious, why is it that he was not a rich man in his lifetime but became a god of wealth after death?

Because he was very brave and good at fighting during his lifetime, everyone also believed in him as a martial god after that. At that time, the Qing ** was supported by the Jin merchants, who were actually traders in Shanxi. At that time, the status of the Jin merchants was still relatively high, and Min Xiang was the protector of these Jin merchants at that time, they felt that it was the protection of Guan Yu that their business could do so well, and slowly became the God of Wealth of the Jin merchants.

In fact, Taoism and Buddhism have always competed for Guan Yu, wanting to make Guan Yu a figure in their own system. <>

In the Sui and Tang dynasties, Buddhism was relatively developed, so nature was also valued by Buddhism, and they would worship Guan Yu as the god of Jialan. When Taoism saw that Buddhism had taken the lead in sealing Guan Yu as a god, he must have felt that he was also an important figure, and it happened that there were Taoist people in Shanxi at that time who asked to repair Guan Yu Temple in accordance with the Taoist style. Because Taoism and Buddhism are different, Buddhism is more of a belief in reincarnation, while Taoism is more focused on reality.

That is to say, in Taoism, they feel that it is more important to live in the present, so to live in the present, you must have money, so when repairing the temple, they naturally worship Guan Yu as the god of wealth. <>

But Guan Yu is a military general after all, even if he becomes the God of Wealth, he can't forget his roots, so Guan Yu has a new name, the God of Wealth. Moreover, during the Ming Dynasty, Luo Guanzhong wrote "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" had a very deep impact on everyone's thinking, so this character has slowly become an iconic symbol. Now everyone places the God of Wealth in the store, not at home, this is because at the beginning Guan Yu was the God of Wealth to protect the Jin merchants, so everyone also thinks that the God of Wealth is more suitable for placing in the store.
