Yesterday I read the story of Cao Cao catching a knife at the head of the bed. "New Words on the World" records: Wei generals saw the Xiongnu envoys, and thought they were ugly and not as powerful as the distant country. They sent Cui Yan to the post of the bed, and the emperor grabbed his own sword and stood on the head of the bed. The general meaning is that after Cao Cao unified the north, his reputation was greatly shocked, and the Huns sent envoys to meet Cao Cao. Cao Cao thought he was not good-looking, so he called Cui Yan instead. Cao Cao pretended to be a guard and stood beside him with a knife. After the reception, Cao Cao sent someone to ask the Xiongnu envoys what they think. The Xiongnu envoys said that the King of Wei was handsome and elegant, and the guard standing next to him was majestic and majestic, which was very popular and was a real hero. The authenticity of this story needs to be verified, but the idiom "catching the knife for others" comes from this.
Cao Cao: What did your Jack Ma say? A man’s appearance is inversely proportional to his talent!
It can be seen from this that Cao Cao was not very satisfied with his appearance and figure. Historical books say that he was "short and short" and was short and ugly. It is hard to say whether he was short and poor when he was young. It is no wonder that he was born in four generations and three men and three times. It is no wonder that Yuan Shao , who has always looked down on him. So how tall is Cao Cao? Some people speculate that there should be seven feet, of course this ruler is not a modern measurement standard, because according to the current standards, seven feet should be more than two meters and three, and Yao Ming is only two meters and two six. Archaeology once unearthed a Han Dynasty tooth ruler, which was measured 23.3 cm. If this can be calculated as the measurement standard of the Han Dynasty, then the seven-foot Cao Cao was 1.63 meters tall, which is indeed not too high.
Cao Cao: There is no one in the world, I wonder how many people are elected as emperors and how many people are elected as kings!
What about the heights of other celebrities in the Three Kingdoms except Cao Cao? For example, Liu Bei is seven feet and five inches, which is about one meter and seventy-five inches, Zhuge Liang is eight feet high, 1 meter and eighty-six, Zhao Yun is also eight feet, Zhang Fei is eight feet and three inches, which is probably 1 meter and ninety-two. Guan Yu is nine feet tall, and I'm afraid it's almost approaching Yao Ming. The handsome guy Zhou Yu is seven feet and seven inches, totaling one meter eight, a typical tall, rich and handsome man.
It’s strange. Thinking about the height of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, I have always doubted whether the height of the ancients was showing a continuous decline. Because in the Qing Dynasty, you can see that Nurhaci is 165 in height, Huang Taiji 166 in height, and Dorgon is the most pitiful, only 153 in height. Shunzhi is higher, with 170, Kangxi 169, , Batulu, known as the number one in the Qing Dynasty, is also 169, just like Kangxi, Wu Sangui is quite tall, with 178. Yongzheng 166, Qianlong 165, Heshen 168. The Daoguang and Xianfeng were all around 165 in Jiaqing, Tongzhi was only 160, Guangxu was 161, Xuantong's little emperor was better, and when he grew up, he had 168.
This is true for the royal nobles, ordinary people can imagine it. From the end of the Qing Dynasty to the end of World War II, we have always cordially given the word "small" to the island countries in the east. We really suspect that their height was not as high as 1.5 meters at that time.
Island Country: Our average height of post-80s, 90s and 00s is more than yours!
The true height of politicians in various countries in modern times is also uneven. Sun Yat-sen 158, I really don’t have the nerve to check what Soong Ching Ling is. Chiang Kai-shek 169, this is his real record when he was in the Japanese non-commissioned officer school. Therefore, we can infer the height of some people based on the photos with Chiang Kai-shek, for example...
The leaders of the former Soviet Union were all red dwarfs, because Lenin was only 164, Stalin was shorter, only 162, and there were also 168 and 172, because of his special inner heightened boots (have you seen him wearing other shoes). Khrushchev 162, I like to see photos of him holding corn the most, it is so cute. Brezhnev 176, Gorbachev 175, which is only middle- and inferior among tall and powerful Russian men. Yeltsin deserves the nickname of polar bear, his height is 192. The Great Emperor Putin was only 170, and Medvedev was even shorter, 162. So, overall, most of the leaders of Russian are short. In contrast, there are not many elected American presidents, including founding presidents Washington 188, third president Jefferson 189, Lincoln 192, Grant 183, Wilson 180, Coolidge 185,.The president after World War II, Roosevelt 188, Truman 175, Kennedy 183, Johnson 192, Nixon 182, Reagan 185, Bush Sr. 188, Clinton 189, Bush Jr. 180, Obama 187, 70-year-old Trump , height 190.
Khrushchev: I even like corn, Siberia has to plant it for me!
