Zhang Fei in history was a handsome general, why was he written as a black-faced man?

When mentioning Yan people Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide, a white-faced strong man with a leopard head, ringed eyes, swallow jaws and a tiger beard will appear in front of everyone. He screams weirdly and wants to add a transparent hole to his eyes. But when you study the historical materials of the Three Kingdoms, you may see another scene before your eyes: In an elegant room full of calligraphy and paintings, red candles are burning high and sandalwood is lingering, a handsome man from Hebei Province with five locks of long beard and a beautiful girl from Anhui Province sit opposite each other and recite their inscriptions. , there are two portraits on the table. When he saw the young man, he couldn't help laughing: "I painted you so beautifully, why did you paint me so ugly? Who is this white-faced guy with stubble?" The pretty beauty smiled: You used to be So, when we first met, didn't you look like this?

The young man with five long beards is, of course, Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide (called Yide in the history books, but everyone has long been accustomed to calling him Zhang Yide, so we can do whatever he wants), and the beautiful beauty is She is the niece of Xiahou Yuan, the famous general of Cao Wei, and the Xiahou girl who was the love of Zhang Fei's life. Readers who have read the official history of the Three Kingdoms all know that Zhang Fei is good at calligraphy, good at painting beauties, and loves to get to know literati. Of course, he has a gentle and free spirit like jade. And when the Xiahou girl said that Zhang Fei used to be a fair-faced man with a thorny beard, it was not all a joke, it was a reminiscence of a beautiful encounter between the two of them.

In other words, in the fifth year of Jianggong, Liu Guanzhang was defeated by Cao Cao in Xuzhou, Liu Bei was picked up by Yuan Shao's son Yuan Tan, and Guan Yunchang was captured by Cao Cao, leaving only three people. Fourteen-year-old Zhang Fei (probably the same age) took his most elite eighteen Yan-Zhao cavalry and ran into Mangdang Mountain for guerrilla warfare. Life in the mountains was very difficult. Henan, Anhui, Su, and Lu (where Mangdang Mountain meets the four provinces) were plagued by wars. There had been no roosters for a long time. Zhang Fei, who traveled day and night, became darker and thinner. In a blink of an eye, it was already the early spring of the sixth year of construction, and there was no news about Liu Bei and Guan Yunchang of the Three Kingdoms. Zhang Fei decided to take his brothers who had eaten wild vegetables from the Wild Beast Mountain for more than half a year to go out to try their luck.

It was a spring day when warblers were flying and grass was growing. The flowers were fragrant, the birds were singing, and the mulberry trees were covered with dew. The fourteen-year-old Xiahou girl was already picking mulberries. The beautiful artistic conception can be described by a Tang poem and a Song lyric: "Birds are singing among the mulberry leaves, and the green strips are soft. Climb and look close, and learn to put down the long hook. Red flowers cover the fields, and the white horse boy swims. So Why don't you look back, you are in the high-rise building?" But the Xiahou girl did not see Longtan Jun returning, but saw a black horse running out of the Mangdang Mountain like a hurricane, and immediately a strong man from the north came with his hand. Carrying a pole eight feet long. Looking at the face again: I don’t know how many days I haven’t washed my face, which is dark and swarthy. The beard that hasn’t been trimmed for many months is like a mess of grass. Among the grass, there is a pair of pure big eyes full of spirituality - it looks very powerful. Quite funny and humorous, but not as sinister and vicious as the subordinates of his uncle Miaocai (Xia Houyuan's nickname is Miaocai).

The Xiahou girl, who was used to seeing Han people fighting for their lives, thought this was the return of her uncles' officers and soldiers for hunting. Not only was she not worried, but she covered her mouth and snickered. This is called a smile that captivates a city and a smile that captivates a country. The Xiahou girl smiled sweetly, and Zhang Yide's soul reached the sky. After staring at him for a long time, Zhang Fei muttered: "What are you looking at? Have you never seen a handsome man?" The Xiahou girl imitated Zhang Fei's joke: "Why are you looking at you?" - Zhang Fei is There may be a Northeastern accent, because the so-called Northeastern accent is actually brought by Hong Kong immigrants from Qilu, Yanzhao, Shandong to Guandong.

"What are you looking at?" "What do you think of you?" "You look at me as my wife!" The fourteen-year-old Xiahou girl became Zhang Fei's wife. Unlike Liu Bei, Guan Yunchang, who was engaged in small business in the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Fei used to be a son of a wealthy family. He also received a good cultural education, was good at writing and painting, and had enough food for a few days to clean his temples. He was also a handsome and handsome guy. . During the days when he occupied a county and waited for Liu Bei of the Three Kingdoms to pass Yunchang, Zhang Fei lived a very free and happy life, burning incense, playing the piano, splashing ink and swiping brushes. Zhang Fei used his special skills - painting beauties to please his newlywed wife, Xiahou, the jewel in the eye of Cao Cao and Xiahou Of course, girls are also unparalleled in their talent show. The Xiahou girl that Zhang Fei carefully drew was of course charming and graceful, but the Xiahou girl drew Zhang Fei when they met for the first time: leopard head, ringed eyes, swallow jaw, tiger beard, dark, silly, and a bit silly in her elegance. Qi - this portrait spread, Zhang Fei has the image of a white face and a messy beard. In fact, a face that is washed frequently will not become dark, and a beard that is washed frequently will not be messy: Zhang Fei is not from Africa, nor is he from Africa. If you are not a Qiang or a Jie or a Huns, your beard will not grow upward easily.

Many people are worried that the hot-tempered Zhang Fei will have an affair with the Xiahou girl. That is because they do not understand the young men in the north: real northern men all have a moral bottom line, that is, they will never Oppressing women. It is very likely that northern men will never quarrel when they are drinking and talking outside and are capable of doing things, but at home they will never drink, wash the sheets, cook and take care of the children. There are undoubtedly many northern men among the readers, and when they see this, they will definitely burst into laughter: boys, if you have a temper, let it go outside, the first-class boys are afraid of their wives, the second-class boys love their wives, and the bottom-class boys That’s why he bullies his wife.
