Many of my friends in the book review section are struggling with one thing: Guan Yu became sworn brothers with the Martial Saint!
Here's the science:
In history, a total of three people were conferred the title of Martial Saint.
The first generation Martial Saint, Jiang Ziya!
It was said that when Jiang Ziya was 72 years old, he was fishing in the Wei River. He met King Wen of Zhou, who was eager for talents. He was conferred the title of "Grand Master", called "Grand Duke Wang", commonly known as "Grand Duke". King Wu of Zhou honored him as "Master Shang Fu". Jiang Ziya assisted King Wu in conquering the Shang Dynasty and establishing the Zhou Dynasty. He was the founder of the Qi State, the chief strategist of King Wen of Zhou who overthrew the Shang Dynasty, and the highest military commander who defeated King Zhou. He was also the founding father of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the founder of the Qi culture. He was also an outstanding strategist, strategist, and politician who had a long influence in ancient China.
His historical status was recognized by all the ancient books. The Confucian, Legalist, Military, Zongheng, and other schools of thought all pursued him as their main character, and he was revered as the "Grandmaster of the Hundred Schools of Thought". Jiang Ziya assisted King Wen and King Wu to pacify the world and establish the Zhou Dynasty. He was the first person in the history of China to be awarded the title of Martial Saint. Before the Southern Song Dynasty, Jiang had always been revered as a Martial Saint. His term of office was about 2200 years.
Second generation Martial Saint, Yue Fei!
The second Martial Saint was Yue Fei and Yue Wumu. No matter how one looked at it, Yue Wumu was a hero that had not appeared in a thousand years of Chinese history. He had single-handedly lifted up the Southern Song Dynasty and swept away the millions of soldiers of Dajin. Now, many people were reevaluating Wu Mu. Whether it was overturning the verdict or causing a ruckus, his influence on the future generations of the Celestial Dynasty was the greatest among all the Martial Saints.
Judging from the situation at that time, if there were no Wumu Han people, the country might have been completely destroyed. Han culture might be replaced by barbarian culture. It was necessary to understand the saying," On the day the Duke of Zhou left his message of fear, when Wang Mang was humble and humble." Don't take it to heart. A hero was a hero. His status as a Martial Saint was unshakable before the Qing Dynasty. His term of office was more than 550 years.
The third Martial Saint, Guan Yu!
Guan Yu's reputation as a Martial Saint was largely due to the romances and novels. Guan Yu had become famous much earlier than Yue Fei, but he had never been taken out as an idol. In the late Ming Dynasty, with the rise of novels and allusions, Guan Yu's story began to spread widely. In addition, various forms of storytelling and storytelling quickly spread among the people. Coupled with the exaggeration and beautification of his story plot, Guan Yu's image as a star quickly became popular.
In order to strengthen their rule over the Han people, the Qing government had no choice. Yue Fei had beaten up the ancestors of the Manchu people. Therefore, the Qing Dynasty began to create the most famous image of Guan Yu as a loyal and righteous man. During the Kangxi period, he was stripped of the title of Martial Saint because of Wu Mu's political problems. In the general election, Second Master Guan was officially conferred the title of Martial Saint. From then on, Second Master Guan was officially the third Martial Saint.
Therefore, the plot of Li Cunxiao, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei becoming sworn brothers of the Martial Saint in this book was not a problem.”
This was because from the Zhou Dynasty to the Southern Song Dynasty, Jiang Ziya was the well-deserved Martial Saint, the object of worship!
