Liu Bei, also known as Xuande, was from Zhuo County, Zhuo County (now Zhuo County, Hebei Province).
According to the history books, Liu Bei was a descendant of Liu Sheng, one of the sons of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty. However, the inheritance was complicated and could not be verified. It was this title that benefited his life a lot.
His grandfather Liu Xiong was elected as filial piety and honesty, and his official position reached the county magistrate of Fan County, Dongjun.
His father, Liu Hong, had also been a minor official, but he had passed away when Liu Bei was still young.
Having lost his father since he was young, he silently endured this indescribable pain. It was not easy for an orphan and a widow to rely on each other.
Because of his father's early death, the family was in decline. In order to maintain their daily livelihood, the sensible him and his mother sold straw sandals, woven straw mats, and set up stalls (typical grassroots). In order to earn a living, he also learned how to weave grass products with his mother. His life was very difficult (even paying school fees became a problem).
At that time, he was just an unremarkable commoner. Although he was the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan, the Han Dynasty had been established for more than 300 years. The Liu family had at least 100,000 descendants, and he was not one of them.
Moreover, the imperial court was declining, and his name might not even be registered. He could only rely on himself and make straw sandals to support himself.
A child who grew up in hardship. Only by suffering the most hardship can one become a superior person!
Although he lived a cold life, he did not lose his fighting spirit. He had little ambition. He had his own dream, even though it seemed to be just a dream.
In the southeast corner of his house, there was a large mulberry tree that was fifty feet tall. It was luxuriant and not only tall, but also had a strange appearance. The crown of the tree was like a car cover. This family would definitely have a benefactor.
Ordinary people were just talking. However, it was different after the iron mouth broke Yin and Yang and the master of Feng Shui saw it. It could be concluded.
Master Li Ding of Zhuo County, a well-known master of Feng Shui, passed by Lou Sang Village in Zhuo County, where Liu Bei lived. When he saw this ancient mulberry tree that was more than 50 feet tall, he shouted,
"This family will definitely have a noble person!"
The benefactor he was talking about was naturally Liu Bei.
This big mulberry tree became a good place for Liu Bei to play when he was young. In his spare time, he would play with the children under the tree.
One day, while playing, he pointed at the mulberry tree and suddenly said,"
"I will definitely ride in such a Yubao car in the future!”
I will definitely ride in the emperor's carriage in the future.
Children couldn't understand this sentence, but it scared the adults to death.
This was because the Yubao carriage was a special carriage that only the emperor could ride in. If he made such a bold statement and was reported, his entire family would be executed.
In ancient times, these words were very serious. It frightened Liu Bei's uncle, who was looking at him from the side. Liu Bei's uncle, Liu Zijing, quickly reprimanded him and warned him in fear,"Don't talk nonsense. This is a huge crime. He will make our entire family suffer.”
Only Liu Bei and history knew whether it was a child's words or his own dream.
However, who would have thought that such a child's words would come true in the end?
Therefore, people had to have dreams! What if it came true?
When little Liu Bei sat under the mulberry tree to enjoy the shade, he did not think of picking mulberry leaves, but of the throne. However, for a commoner without any power or background, wasn't this a bit of a fantasy?
Although in the eyes of outsiders, Liu Bei was a little arrogant, in her mother's eyes, he was her pride.
Motherly love was always the most selfless. Liu Bei's first benefactor was his mother.
No matter how poor he was, he couldn't afford to be poor in education. No matter how bitter he was, he couldn't let his children suffer.
There was also a slogan: It was better to raise a head than to raise a child without studying.
The family's main income came from his mother selling shoes and weaving mats. His mother pulled Liu Bei along and went through hardships, but she was very great. She did not want Liu Bei to be a small merchant in the future, so she insisted that Liu Bei study and become outstanding in the future.
In that era, studying was the only way for the children of poor families to enter the upper class. The Han Dynasty ruled the world with the study of classics. Through continuous study, they could achieve a certain level of cultivation in the study of classics. They could either gain enough reputation in the local area and be elected as Mao Cai or Xiao Lian, or enter Luoyang Imperial College to study. These two paths could allow the descendants of the Humble Class to embark on official careers and change their lives.
In order for Liu Bei to make a breakthrough in his studies, his mother made an astonishing decision. She sent him to a private school run by a famous local scholar, Lu Zhi.
This happened in the fourth year of Xi Ping (175 years), when Liu Bei was only fifteen years old.
His mother doted on him the most. For the sake of his son's future, she planned to send him and Liu Deran, who was from the same clan, to study abroad. However, no matter how hard she tried, she could not afford the tuition fees. This was because the teacher she wanted to study with was the famous scholar of the same county, the former Jiujiang Prefecture Governor Lu Zhi.
Without money, there was only fantasy and pain!
Just as she was anxious about the tuition fees, someone came to help her. Liu Deran's father, Liu Yuan, took the initiative to bear all of Liu Bei's tuition fees. The treatment was the same as Liu Deran's, and he insisted that it was not a one-time sponsorship.
Regarding this matter, Liu Yuan's wife had a problem with it. She always complained in private, but Liu Yuan didn't care. He told his wife what was in his heart,
"Our Liu Clan has such a child, he is not an ordinary person!”
Just like that, under his mother's expectant gaze, Liu Bei finally embarked on the road of learning.
Lu Zhi used to be the prefect of Jiujiang. Later, he left his post due to illness, so he wrote books at home and set up a training class in Gou Mountain.
The private school run by a famous teacher was naturally a famous school. Even if there was no school selection fee, it would not be free. Moreover, the tuition fee would definitely not be low. Therefore, it was a shocking and risky decision for Liu Bei's mother to send him to study.
Now, if one saw laid-off workers working hard to support their children to study abroad in the newspapers or on television, the first thing that came to mind would be Liu Bei's good mother.
As a child of a poor family, he would definitely cherish such an opportunity and study hard.
Ma Rong taught Zheng Xuan and Lu Zhi, and Zheng Xuan taught Cui Yan, Zhao Shang, Xi Lu, Sun Qian, and the others. Teachers taught and explained their doubts. They relied on their teachers 'signboards to become famous scholars or high officials in the future.
Liu Bei was of the same generation as Cui Yan. If he studied hard enough, his future would not be a problem.
However, Liu Bei did not do that. He did not study hard at all. He did not like reading. He only liked riding horses, playing with pet dogs, music, and beautiful clothes. He didn't look like a poor child at all.
It was during this period that he received personal guidance from this famous scholar and even got to know a classmate: Gongsun Zan in western Liaoning. Later on, he even relied on this student.
It was also because he knew Gongsun Zan, this playboy, that Liu Bei became more playful.
Although his mother valued his education very much, there was nothing she could do if her child did not work hard and did not like to study. However, even though the mother was worried, her child still did well in the end.
Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei became good friends. Gongsun Zan was older than Liu Bei, so Liu Bei regarded Gongsun Zan as his elder brother.
After two years of studying, Lu Zhi was appointed as the prefect of Lujiang. He had to go to Lujiang to take up his post, so Liu Bei had to go home.
To be precise, because of the rebellion in Lujiang County, the imperial court recruited Lu Zhi to be the prefect there to quell the rebellion.
In other words, the 15-year-old Liu Bei had only studied at Lu Zhi's for two years.
After Teacher Lu left, Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan had no choice but to leave.
Gongsun Zan returned to the county. Because he was the son-in-law of the prefect and had a strong background, he was promoted and became the county's top planner. He was also the director of the Beijing office of the county government.
Liu Bei had nothing to do.
In Liu Bei's resume, this period of time was not short. It was about six or seven years, but the history books only recorded three words: Gather the disciples.
Liu Bei gathered a group of people. They were neither officials nor businessmen. They were together all day long. They neither robbed nor worked for the government. When they could earn money, they would earn some. When they had nothing to do, they would drink everywhere. Anyway, they just mingled together. To put it nicely, they were called freelancers, but to put it bluntly, they were called gangsters.
Don't look down on these hooligans. In peaceful times, they were a factor of social instability. In troubled times, they were strong heroes.
If they did well, they would be heroes. To them, they did not lack stamina or courage. They only lacked opportunities.
Among this group of people, Liu Bei was most in love with two people. One was called Guan Yu, and the other was called Zhang Fei.
His mother had sent Liu Bei to study, hoping that he would change his fate through hard work, but this goal seemed to have not been achieved. However, Liu Bei coming to Lu laoshi to study was indeed the beginning of changing his fate.
Liu Bei became Lu laoshi's disciple. Although he might not be the most outstanding disciple, he had established a teacher-student relationship with Lu laoshi. At the very least, it was gilded. His knowledge did not improve much, but he got to know Gongsun Zan and the others. He had connections, which would be of great help to his future development.
Liu Bei was seven feet and five inches tall. His hands hung down to his knees, and he could see his ears. He did not like to talk, was kind to servants, did not show his emotions, and liked to make friends with heroes. The local heroes all competed to rely on Liu Bei. Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, the merchants of Zhongshan, came to Zhuo County with thousands of gold. When they saw Liu Bei, they gave him financial aid, which Liu Bei used to gather many people.
When Liu Bei became an adult, he was seven feet and five inches tall. It was unknown whether he was handsome or not, but he definitely had a pair of long arms and big ears. It was said that he could " lower his hands and knees, and see his own ears." His ears were earlobes and shoulders, and his hands were above his knees. Although it was a little exaggerated, he was definitely an extraordinary person. There was no doubt about it. Otherwise, he would use it to brag.
This kind of appearance was quite unique and even a little strange. If it was now, it would definitely not be used to boast.
Long arms, suitable for being a noodle chef; Big ears, that was an avatar.
His ears and shoulders looked a little like an Indian Buddha statue. His hands were above his knees, very similar to King Kong!
His enemies often called him a big-eared thief. There were also people who said that he had the appearance of an emperor. The ancients looked at physiognomy, and those who had different physiognomy could achieve great things.
There was once a joke:
Back then, when Liu Bei and Cao Cao were discussing heroes over wine, Cao Cao casually threw a small object down. However, Liu Bei reached out and picked it up without bending over at all. This meant that Liu Bei had long hands.
He said to Liu Bei: His ears are like two ears, his eyes can look at his ears, and his hands are like knees.
Was he very similar to the Western Buddha?
This was the meaning that ancient storytellers conveyed to their listeners-Liu Bei was the Buddha in the troubled times. Only Liu Bei could let everyone walk the right path and live a carefree life.
There were also benefits to having both hands over one's knees.
It was also very safe when he fell down, and he would hit the ground with his hand if he bent down. Long Jiuxiao had said it before.
Everyone still remembered that when the three heroes fought against Lu Bu, they all used long weapons. Lu Bu's halberd, Guan Yu's Green Dragon Crescent Moon, and Zhang Fei's Snake Spear were all long weapons. Only Liu Bei could still fight with a sword. It was obvious that his arms were long enough. The advantage of having long arms was not only in melee combat.
In Chapter 24, Liu Bei's Management Skills, Long Jiuxiao said,"
Liu Bei was about 1.72 meters tall, his knee height was 54cm, and his hands were above his knees. In other words, the swaddled Ah Dou was less than 54cm from the ground.
In addition, it was the grass. What danger could there be if he threw it on the grass (he didn't really fall, after all, it was his biological child)?
To put it bluntly, it was an action to win over the hearts of the people! Liu Bei cleverly played a trick.
A friend said that Long Jiuxiao was awesome!
He could even calculate the height of the fall.
It could only be said to be a small case. Long Jiuxiao calculated the rising space and fluctuation range in the stock market investment. I can be said to be a master. Many shareholders were impressed.
How long was Liu Bei's arm?
There was a saying in human proportionology called " head and body ", which meant that the ratio of head length to body length was regular. The average Asian adult's head and body ratio was roughly between six to eight heads. In other words, the height divided by six or eight is the length of the head. We take the middle value of seven and use seven heads to convert Liu Bei's head length:
The length of a Chinese foot was about 23cm, so Liu Bei was about 1.72 meters.
Divided by seven, Liu Bei's head length was 24.57cm.
With the ratio of seven heads, the knee was the fifth head. Subtracting one head, the length of the four heads from the shoulder to the knee was the length of a normal person's arm. 24.75×4=98.28cm。
Liu Bei was super long, his arms were more than one meter long.
Thinking back to the time when they became sworn brothers in the peach garden. If the three brothers want to eat peaches, the responsibility of stealing peaches will be completely up to big brother!
Then, he calculated the length of Mr. Liu's ears. A normal person's head-to-ear ratio was 3:1, and their neck was the length of an ear (except for Liu Huan and Gao Xiaosong). The head in front was 24.57cm long. Liu Bei's ears were exactly the length of the head, which was 24.57cm.
Isn't it interesting to study history? He could be wise if he was familiar with history.
From this, it could be seen that Long Jiuxiao's calculation ability was superb. This was an indispensable skill in investing in the stock market.
Although he loved to play, he didn't talk much. He was humble and liked to make friends with heroes. He was mature at a young age and did not show his emotions on his face. He was extremely shrewd. This was also the personality and temper that his strange appearance brought him, which made him a tyrant.
In addition, he was so sexy (a blessing in the eyes of the people) that many people were willing to make friends with him, and aspiring young people were even more eager to follow him.
