One Lv Er Zhao, Three Dian Wei, Four Passes, Five Horses and Six Zhang Fei (Some people say one Lv Er Zhao, San Guan Yu, Four Codes, Five Horses and Six Zhang Fei). I believe this sentence is known to everyone, this is a judgment made by later generations for the true strength of the three famous generals. Looking at the list, you can know that Guan Yu's true strength is still top-notch, so why do the Three Kingdoms continue to be myths about it?
Let’s first talk about why Guan Yu was deified. It can be seen from a few points. First of all, it is recorded in "Three Kingdoms" that Guan Yu Wenjiu and Huaxiong did not exist at all, and really won. Huaxiong's is Jiangdong Sun Jian. And the scene also has a lot to do with the TV series. At that time, Sun Jian led his team to defeat Dong Zhuo and retreated all the way. Later, Sun Jian smashed his horses, cleaned up the mess again, and launched a counterattack against Dong Zhuo. At the same time as the counterattack, Dong Zhuo's general Hua Xiong was killed by Sun Jian. So Wenjiu's killing Huaxiong is a myth of Guan Yu, but it is actually Sun Jian's work. There is nothing about Guan Yu.
Guan Yu is a gentleman who is not like a woman, but he is actually deified. It is also recorded in the "Three Kingdoms" that when the two families of Cao and Liu together attacked the city of Xiapi, Lü Bu was guarding Xiapi. Guan Yu once said to Cao Cao: If the capture of Pi is successful, he will give me the wife of Qin Yilu, a young official under Lü Bu. At that time, Cao Cao agreed, but he didn't expect Cao Cao to be attracted by her beauty when she saw him. At that time, he changed his mind and left Guan Yu. This made Guan Yu not very happy, and since then he has a grudge against Cao Cao. This shows that in fact, mortals are also coveting beauty.
So why do you want the myth of Guan Yu, in fact, the reason is very simple, Guan Yu himself is indeed a person who values love and righteousness and endures hardship and hard work. This is true for bone scraping, and it has set a good example for the soldiers around me. Everyone praised General Guan's greatness. At the same time, it invigorates the military and boosts morale. Another thousand miles to find Liu Bei by riding alone, although there is no way to prove it, but the historical records really have it (passing five passes and cutting six generals are actually deifying Guan Yu). This shows that Guan Yu values love and righteousness, and can bear hardships and stand hard work.
More importantly, in order to stabilize people's hearts for future generations, it is necessary to highlight Guan Yu’s empathy and willingness to endure hardship. In order to let everyone learn more about it, but also to better control the common people, to give everyone a myth, let everyone bow down day and night, and learn how to live with Guan Yu. This will not only educate people, but also make it easier to control the people in society, so it is also necessary to interpret the myth of Guan Yu.
