Chapter 39 Chapter Thirty-ninth Peerless Confucian General Zhou Yu
Although in the novel, Mr. Luo Guanzhong described Zhou Yu as a jealous and narrow-minded person, I still like this character image very much.
When it comes to the real Zhou Yu in history, it is even more admirable, enviable, and admirable.
Zhou Yu, courtesy name Gongjin, was born in Shucheng, Anhui.Yu, Jin, are all beautiful jade, and Zhou Lang is as the name suggests, with a face like a crown jade, and a jade tree facing the wind. Luo Guanzhong used eight words to describe his beauty: natural talent, beautiful appearance, although there are not many words, the appearance and connotation are excellent. The image of the man in this book has already appeared vividly on the paper, and at the same time, it is also frozen in the readers' hearts.
Su Shi also admired Zhou Yu very much. He eulogized it in his famous work "Nian Nujiao·Chibi Nostalgia": "The great river goes east, the waves wash away, and the hero of the ages. To the west of the old base, the human way is, Zhou Lang Chibi of the Three Kingdoms. Rocks Passing through the sky, stormy waves crashing against the shore, how many heroes there are at that moment. Thinking back to the time when Gongjin was young, Xiao Qiao was married for the first time, with a feather fan and a scarf, while talking and laughing, the mast and scull flew to ashes..." We always think that wearing a feather scarf and shaking a feather fan is a typical image of Zhuge Liang However, as everyone knows, the owner of Lunjin Feather Fan is not Kong Ming, a famous minister, but Zhou Yu, a Confucian general.
Zhuge Liang borrowed arrows from straw boats and cleverly borrowed east wind, both of which were borrowed flowers to present Buddhas by later generations, and they were attached to the meeting. However, Zhou Yu's deeds of fighting fiercely at the Red Cliff and burning warships were real and unambiguously recorded in the annals of history.Du Mu, a great poet in the late Tang Dynasty, once wrote a poem when he visited Chibi: "The iron halberd sinks into the sand and the iron has not disappeared, and it will be ground and washed to recognize the previous dynasty. If the east wind does not make peace with Zhou Lang, Tongquechun will lock Erqiao deeply."
Zhou Yu not only has outstanding achievements throughout the ages, but also is sincere and broad-minded, which is by no means what he described in the novel.The deputy governor of Eastern Wu, the veteran Cheng Pu, was highly respected and had outstanding military exploits. He looked down on juniors and humiliated Zhou Yu several times. Zhou Yu always put state affairs first and did not care about them. In the end, Cheng Pu was overwhelmed by Zhou Yu's noble character and expressed his heartfelt admiration : Making friends with Gong Jin is like drinking alcohol, and you don't feel drunk.The two jointly wrote a historical story of the reconciliation of generals during the Three Kingdoms period.
Zhou Yu not only has both civil and military skills, but also has a noble character, and is also very talented in music. At that time, there was a good story in the south of the Yangtze River that "the song is wrong, and Zhou Lang cares about it". One can imagine how many girls would fall in love with such a romantic, refined and talented Zhou Lang. , will affect the hearts of many crushes, and how lucky to be Mrs. Zhou's Xiao Qiao makes them envy and even jealous.Li Duan, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, once wrote a delicate and emotional poem about this event:
Ming Zheng golden millet pillar,
In front of Sushouyu's house.
If you want to win Zhou Langgu,
Flick the strings by mistake from time to time.
Thinking back to Zhou Yu's life, we can't help sighing: such a perfect man is rare in the world!It is a pity that there is no holiday, let him die young, and regret the journey, it is precisely: to die before leaving the teacher, the hero will burst into tears...
