Why did Luo Guanzhong write Zhou Yu as a person with a small belly?

Because Luo Guanzhong wanted to make Zhuge Liang more disadvantageous.

01, small-bellied chicken intestine Zhou Yu is just Zhuge Liang's background board. "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is indeed a very good work as a literary **, but if it is used as a historical material, it can only be a joke, and many of the contents in it are made up blindly by the author Luo Guanzhong. Luo Guanzhong is the famous Liu Blow, he thinks that Liu Bei is orthodox and the most corrupt, so when he blows Liu Bei, he also blows Liu Bei's subordinates, and even makes up some false stories to show off the power of the Liu Group.

And Zhou Yu is one of the victims, Zhou Yu is often Zhuge Liang's background board in romances, and his main role is to bring out Zhuge Liang's clever and broad-minded. For example, what three qi Zhou Yu, grass boat borrowing arrows, etc., all show that Zhou Yu is a person with a small belly and chicken intestines. But to be honest, Zhou Yu is really wronged and really aggrieved.

Zhou Yu is not such a person in history, on the contrary, he is a very broad-minded gentleman.

02, Luo Guanzhong's purpose. For example, there were two factions in the face of Liu Bei in Eastern Wu at that time, one was the Lianliu anti-Cao faction dominated by Lu Su, and the other was the Liu swallowing faction led by Zhou Yu. It can be said that Zhou Yu and Lu Su are politically opposites, but the two have a very good relationship in private, and Zhou Yu recommended Lu Su to Sun Quan before he died, so that Lu Su could succeed him in his position, it can be seen that Zhou Yu is not a narrow-minded person, but a broad-minded person.

So why did Luo Guanzhong want to black Zhou Yu, the first point is that in order to praise Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang was completely deified in the romance, since he wants to put it on the altar, then someone must set it off, Zhou Yu meets the requirements in terms of fame and talent. The second point is that Zhou Yu is a Liu swallowing faction, Zhou Yu has always disapproved of the Sun-Liu Alliance, and also suggested that Sun Quan put Liu Bei under house arrest, it can be said that Zhou Yu and Liu Bei are opposites, Luo Guanzhong is Liu Bei's die-hard fan, and he naturally wants to be hacked in the face of his idol's enemy.

It may be that writing in this way can make the character's personality traits more distinct, easy for readers to remember, and also conducive to attracting people's interest to read.

Because the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a **, the person who writes Zhou Yu as a small-bellied chicken intestine can highlight Zhuge Liang's resourcefulness even more, which can be more interesting and interesting.

In this way, Zhuge Liang's noble character can be highlighted, and Zhuge Liang is a positive character in the romance, and the corresponding ones are all negative, so it is necessary to be black.

The real Zhou Yu "has a magnificent temperament, and is bold enough to win people", "majestic, bold and courageous", "building an independent and decisive mind, and being a real genius". The Romance of the Three Kingdoms gave a very high evaluation. No one is perfect, although Zhou Yu also has shortcomings, but it is not like in **, the eyes of the small-bellied chicken intestines are intolerant, the temperament is magnificent, humble and convincing, and elegant and elegant. ”

In fact, he is a very warm-hearted person, not really small-bellied, he is very good to everyone, even chivalrous.

He is a person with a small belly, because he is particularly unaccustomed to Zhuge Liang being so much better than himself, he has an army of 100,000 people, and Zhuge Liang is 1 million people.

Historically, Zhou Yu has elegance, and Zhou Yu is portrayed as a small-bellied chicken intestine, mainly highlighting Zhuge Liang's wisdom and talent.

Zhou Yu's small belly chicken intestines can highlight Zhuge Liang's ingenuity and strategy, and the author is ingenious in order to make the two compare.

The author of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms mainly admires Zhuge Liang's wit, and it can be said that he is a small fan of Zhuge Liang.

Zhou Yu is not a chicken, he thinks that Zhuge Liang's talent cannot be used by Eastern Wu.

Zhou Yu is not a small-bellied chicken intestine, and there is no such thing as Zhou Yu being angry to death in history, if you want to look at orthodox history, you have to see "Three Kingdoms", and many of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms are fake.

The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a Romance after all, you can read "Three Kingdoms", or go to see the Yizhong Tianpin Three Kingdoms of the Hundred Forum, which has a reasonable introduction.

Because in the romance, Shu Han is the righteous side, and Dongwu, as its opponent, is of course the opposite side, so he wants to black him to raise Zhuge Liang.

It may be that Luo Guanzhong doesn't like Zhou Yu, but I think it's because he needs such an image to elevate Zhuge Liang's image.
