The "Tai Shang Induction Chapter" begins by saying: "There is no way for good or bad, but people call themselves. The retribution of good and evil is like a shadow."
There is a Beijing saying "Twenty-three, Luo Chengguan", the source is "Sui and Tang Dynasties" ", one of the passages is the young player Luo Cheng before he died at Zijing Pass at the age of 23. The Peking Opera also has a repertoire of "Luo Cheng is Called Guan". In fact, these words have no special meaning, they just rhyme in the same way. "Luo Chengguan" generally refers to young people who will "suffer once" by the age of 23.
In "Said Tang", Luo Cheng has the reputation of "Jade-faced Cold Spear and Luocheng". He is not only excellent in martial arts, but also has a handsome face, stunning talent, coldness and arrogance. He was once the number one martial artist in the Sui Dynasty. Then followed his cousin Qin Qiong to follow the Li Tang Dynasty.
In the old days, there was a storytelling "Luocheng Fortune-telling". It was said that the Taibai Jinxian Linfan had only 23 years of life for Luo Cheng; Luo Cheng didn't believe him, saying that Xu Maogong had already calculated for him, and he should live to seventy-three. Jin Xian said that Luo and Qin Qiong were cousins. When the two exchanged spears, they kowtow and vowed not to deceive each other, but Luo Cheng kept the three spears in Huima but did not pass them all, so he wanted to reduce his life span by ten years. He also said that the king of Tang was originally the emperor of life. Luo Cheng relied on his superior martial arts, and he took eight steps with the support of the king of Tang. This is bullying the emperor and will reduce his life for another ten years; Cheng Yaojin is yours. Brother Meng, you shouldn’t punch him to reduce your life for another ten years; lock Wulong, you shouldn’t supervise Shan Xiongxin, forget the dripping blood and worship Jinluan, and reduce it for another ten years; To hide her from her by rhetoric, she will be reduced by another ten years;
"Seventy-three minus fifty years old, because you can only live to twenty-three because your heart counts incorrectly. Who do you think I am, Xu Maogong's teacher Bi Chenxian... Later, Lord Luo was caught in the Silt River unexpectedly, and he was killed in battle with arrows piercing his heart. The British year was just twenty-three..." The story of
promoted the unscientific view of destiny, but also used fortune telling. Luo Cheng's business for most of his life. But in history, there are very few records about Luo Cheng. There was Luo Shixin in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Luo Shixin is indeed a man in history, and has many similarities with Luo Cheng in the novel, so it is considered as the historical prototype of Luo Cheng.
They all use guns, they are very brave and martial arts;
Luo Shixin has been in the Wagang Army, and Luo Cheng is also; after
Wagang Army is defeated, Luo Shixin's Wang Shichong, Luo Cheng also;
is not ashamed of Wang Shichong, Luo Shixin voted So did Tang and Luo Cheng;
Luo Shixin spent five years in Wude (622 years). He led hundreds of people to fight against Liu Heitai. After eight days, he was defeated and captured. He was unyielding and killed. He was only in his twenties. Luo Cheng was also killed by the same person in the same year and in the same place. He was also in his twenties when he died. Therefore, Cai Dongfan said in "The Romance of Tang History": "In popular novels, there is Luo Cheng alone, I think Luo Shixin misinformation".
Someone once compared Luo Cheng with Ma Chao in the Three Kingdoms period. They are very similar. However, this is different. Ma Chao carried out a brutal massacre in Licheng, while Luo Cheng would not. Luo Cheng, is it vicious or kind? Both. They are combined and intertwined in contradiction, forming a unique character, like an awesome and obsessive mystery.
