The story of Guan Gong’s loyalty, righteousness, benevolence and bravery

Guan Gong's popularity is actually no less than that of any great man at home and abroad in ancient and modern times; but Guan Gong's humanistic spirit of loyalty, justice, benevolence and courage is difficult for anyone to match and surpass. We have reason to declare to the world: Guan Gong is not only of Yuncheng, but also of the world; Guan Gong is not only the past, but also the present and the future!

Guan Gong and Shanxi Yuncheng

"The Biography of Guan Yu" records: "Guan Yu's courtesy name is Yunchang, his real name is Changsheng, and Hedong is also a prisoner. He fled to Zhuozhou." The "Hedong" mentioned here refers to Hedong County in the Han Dynasty, mainly referring to today's Yuncheng Area; "Jie" is in today's Jiezhou area of ??Yuncheng. Outside the west gate of Jiezhou Town and in Changping Village, there are stone tablets "Guan Gong's Hometown" and "Guan Gong's Former Residence" respectively, both of which were erected by Yan Rushi, the magistrate of Jiezhou during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. The Guandi Family Temple located in Changping Village is said to be the former residence of Guan Gong.

Guan Yu’s first righteous act in his life was to forgive injustice and eliminate hegemony. When Guan Yu was a boy, he was brave and powerful, and he hated evil as much as his enemies. According to local folklore, Guan Yu was originally a blacksmith, and some said he was a tofu seller. Anyway, he was from the lower class. There is also a legend that Guan Yu did not originally have the surname Guan. He changed his name only after he killed someone. Guan Yu was just 19 years old that year. He came to Jiezhou City from Xiafeng Village and wanted to see the county governor and state his ambition to serve the country. However, the county governor refused to meet him because he was an unknown person. That night, while staying in the county hotel, he heard someone crying next door. When he asked, he found out that the crying person was named Han Shouyi, and that his daughter had been raped and ravaged by the city bully Lu Xiong. Lu Xiong is an outsider who colludes with officials and bullies men and dominates women. At that time, because Jiezhou City was close to the salt pool, the groundwater was salty and inedible. There were only a few sweet water wells scattered throughout the city. Lu Xiong asked his men to fill up all the sweet water wells in the city, leaving only one sweet water well in his yard. There is also a rule that only young and beautiful women are allowed to come to carry water, otherwise they are not allowed to enter. The young women who came in were either molested by him or raped by him. Although everyone was angry, they were intimidated by Lu Xiong's wealth and had no choice but to do anything. After Han Shouyi's daughter was taken over by Lu Xiong, the old man was so angry that he cried out to the heavens and the earth for help, so he had to cry alone. After Guan Yu heard this, he was furious. He broke into the Lu family with his sword, killed Lu Xiong, and rescued the girl named Han and other women from good families. Afterwards, he fled to his hometown overnight.

After Guan Yu fled to Zhuozhou, he met Liu Bei and Zhang Fei by chance. Because they had similar interests, they Thus Taoyuan became sworn friends. Let's take a look at how "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" describes the scene at that time:

"In the drinking room, I saw a big man pushing a cart, rested at the front of the store, entered the store and sat down. He called the bartender: "Hurry up and pour some wine, I will rush into the city to join the army." Xuande looked at the man: he was nine feet long, and his beard was two feet long; He was handsome and majestic. Xuande invited him to sit with him and called him by name. He said, "My surname is Guan Mingyu, and my courtesy name is Changsheng. Later I changed it to Yunchang. I am a powerful and powerful person in Hedong." He was killed by me and fled the country for five or six years. Now that he heard that an army was being recruited to defeat thieves, Xuande told him of his ambition and went to Zhang Feizhuang to discuss important matters. Fei said: "There is a peach garden behind my village, and the flowers are in full bloom. Tomorrow I will pray to heaven and earth in the garden. The three of us will become brothers and work together to achieve great things." Xuande and Yun Chang responded in unison. : 'It's so good'."

Guan Gong and Human Civilization

Here, I will start with the two concepts of "Guan Yu" and "Guan Gong".

In fact, the problem is not complicated. The key is to treat "Guan Yu" and "Guan Gong" and later "Guan Wang", "Guan Emperor" and "Guan Sheng" differently. "Guan Yu" is a real person in history. However, due to the limitations of historical data, later generations do not fully know his true appearance. A considerable part of the information about "Guan Yu" is written by later generations based on legends. What historians recognize is "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and it is "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that has a huge impact on society and the people. "Three Kingdoms" is a history book, and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a literary work formed through artistic processing based on "Three Kingdoms" and drawing on content from opera, storytelling and other aspects. Although the two are inextricably linked, the difference is still very big, especially how many people in society can read and understand "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? Therefore, the formation of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" itself is a reflection of "Guan Yu" The sublimation of "Guan Gong". We can think of this sublimation as social sublimation and people's sublimation. Arguments arise and misunderstandings arise. Those who praise "Guan Yu" cite "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", while those who denigrate "Guan Yu" cite "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". No wonder everyone insists on their own opinions and debates endlessly.

From this, we say that Guan Yu and Guan Gong actually refer to the same person. This is beyond doubt; but at the same time, we should also understand that the "Guan Yu" written in "Three Kingdoms" is generally true. People, "Guan Gong" in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a deified person, or a sublimated god. In this sublimation process, the concepts of "Guan Gong culture" and "Guan Gong spirit" were gradually formed. "Guan Gong culture" has thus become an important part of the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation, and "Guan Gong spirit" has thus become an important part of the national spirit. At this point, "Guan Gong" is not just an image in a literary work, but a cultural symbol of our nation and an ambassador of our nation.

Guan Gong and the Worship of the World

Guan Gong is a historical figure and a world figure. According to incomplete statistics, there are now 168 countries and regions in the world that have established Guan Gong organizations. In courts in some Southeast Asian countries, before hearing a case, all judges must stand in front of the statue of Guan Gong and swear an oath, requiring themselves to be as impartial, selfless and honest as Guan Gong. Holy Ming. It is said that during the election campaigns of several U.S. presidents, their wives went to Guandi Temple to pray to Guandi to bless their husbands for their successful election. From this we can see that Guan Gong culture has become an important part of global culture; the core values ??embodied in Guan Gong's spirit have been accepted by the world and show a "universal" trend; Guan Gong's world image has also been inherited by people and promote it even more firmly. Guan Gong not only belongs to Hedong, Shanxi, the Chinese nation, but also to the world.

Guan Gong and the governance of the country

Regarding the worship of Guan Gong, the author believes that it originated from the people, promoted the society, and was sublimated to the royal family. According to statistics, since the Han Dynasty, 16 emperors in the past dynasties have granted Guan Gong imperial titles 23 times, making him a prince, a king, a king, an emperor, an emperor and a saint, and a saint and a god. After the Han Dynasty (260 AD), he posthumously named Guan Gong "Zhuang Miao Hou"; in the Tang Dynasty, Guan Gong was included in the national sacrificial ceremony as the "God of Military" and "God of War"; in the Song Dynasty, he was successively named "Zhong Miao" by the royal family. Hui Gong", "Chongning Zhenjun", "Wu'an King", "Yiyong Wu'an King", "Zhuangmu Yiyong Wu'an King", "Zhuangmu Yiyong Wu'an Yingji King"; Emperor Wenzong of the Yuan Dynasty granted Guan Gong the title of "Spiritual Yiyong Wu Anying" Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Yuanzhang ordered to pay homage to Guan Gong and built Nanjing Guan Gong Temple in the 27th year of Hongwu (1394). "The Loyal and Righteous Emperor who protects the country" later decreed that the Guandi Temple in Jiezhou be named the "Temple of Heroes and Martyrs", and then named Guan Gong the "Great Emperor of the Three Realms Conquering Demons, Shenwei Yuanzhen Tianzun Guan Sheng Emperor", and also decreed that the Guandi Temple in Zhengyang, Kyoto, be named Guan Gong Jin. With additional clothes and ornaments, Guan Gong's wife was granted the title of Queen Jiulingyi Dewu Suying, Guan Ping, the eldest son of Guan Gong, was named King Jie Zhong, his second son Guan Xing was named King Xian Zhong, and Zhou Cang was named Duke Wei Ling Hui Yong; in the first year of Shunzhi, the founder of the Qing Dynasty (1644) Guan Gong was granted the title of "Loyalty Shenwu Guansheng Great Emperor", and in the first year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty (1723), he was granted the title of "Lingyou". In the same year, he visited Guan Gong’s hometown in Jiezhou to worship and inscribed a plaque. In the fifty-third year of Emperor Qianlong’s reign in the Qing Dynasty (1788), he was awarded the title “Loyalty and Righteous God Wu Ling Bless the Holy Emperor Guan Sheng”. In the third year of Emperor Yongzheng’s reign in the Qing Dynasty (1725), he posthumously named Guan Gong’s great-grandfather “Guang Zhaogong”. ", the grandfather was "Yuchang Gong". Around the 18th year of Jiaqing of Emperor Renzong of Qing Dynasty (1813), Emperor Gaozong of Qing Dynasty, Emperor Xuanzong of Qing Dynasty and Emperor Wenzong of Qing Dynasty had many inscribed plaques. Da's 26-character title is: "Loyalty, righteousness, martial spirit, benevolence, courage, might, protection of the country and the people, sincerity, appeasement, praise of Xuande, Guan Sheng, the great emperor", and ordered all prefectures and counties across the country to build temples and pay pious sacrifices in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Civil and military sacredness

Facing so many titles and posthumous titles of Guan Gong, it is indeed dazzling. However, it is enough for us to remember the following key points:

The Han Dynasty was granted the title of Marquis, the Song Dynasty was granted the title of King, and the Ming Dynasty was granted the title of Emperor;

Confucianism was called sage, Buddhism was called Buddha, and Taoism was called Called Tianzun.

In 1956, when Indian Prime Minister Nehru visited China, he had this conversation with Mao Zedong: Nehru said that the United States is powerful and they have atomic bombs. Mao Zedong replied, the atomic bomb is nothing, we are concerned about the master's sword.

From this, it is not difficult for us to see the gradual upgrading, upgrading and sublimation of Guan Gong by the rulers of the past dynasties; it is also not difficult for us to see that the cultural spirit of Guan Gong has become an important spiritual weapon for the stability and governance of the country in the past dynasties.

Guan Gong and the Three Religions and Nine Streams

Since the Han Dynasty, three major mainstream beliefs have gradually emerged among the people, namely, Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. Most of the gods believed in by the people can be divided into the systems they belong to. For example, Mazu belongs to Taoism, Confucius belongs to Confucianism, and Guanyin belongs to Buddhism. The boundaries of gods are quite clear. Confucianism respects Guan Gong as one of the Five Wenchangs, respects him as the "Sage of Civilization and Guards", or "Master of Shanxi", or respects him as the Yasheng or Yaxian, and together with Confucius, he is called the "Two Sages of Civilization and Military Affairs". Taoism regards Guan Gong as the close attendant of the Jade Emperor, and respects him as "Yihan Tianzun", "Xietian Emperor" or "Wu'an Zunwang". Buddhism can also protect the Dharma with its loyalty. It is said that he once appeared in Yuquan Mountain and converted to Buddhism. Therefore, he is respected as the "Ancient Buddha Gaitian" and "Dharma Protector Jialan". In a nutshell, it is what was just mentioned before: Confucianism is called sage, Buddhism is called Buddha, and Taoism is called Tianzun. We might as well say that Guan Gong was rooted in Confucianism, sublimated to Buddhism, and flourished in Taoism. He was a real person who was sublimated into a god. He was the only one in the world who "connected with the gods of the three religions."

It goes without saying that Guan Gong is the god of the three religions. In fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that Guan Gong is the "omnipotent god" or the "popular god".

It is said that Guan Gong is the God of Wealth.

In the minds of the Chinese people, the gods of wealth generally believed in are divided into literary gods, martial gods, partial gods of wealth, quasi-gods of wealth, etc., such as: the martial god of wealth who specializes in wealth-Zhao Gongming; the martial god of wealth who blesses the house-Zhong Kui; the right way to make money The God of Wealth and Wealth - Fan Li; the fair and selfless God of Wealth and Wealth - Bigan; the partial God of Wealth who attracts wealth and treasures - Lishi Xianguan; the quasi-god of Wealth - Liu Haichan who spreads money to help the poor; The Three Stars of Lushou and Longevity, the Buddhist God of Wealth Maitreya Buddha, the Five Gods of Wealth in the Wudao Temple, the good-wealth boy under Guanyin Bodhisattva, the God of Wealth Shen Wansan, Shi Chong, etc., although they have different sects, they are all respected as the God of Wealth.

Guan Gong is revered as the god of martial wealth, and there are many folk sayings.

Story 1: When Guan Gong was guarding Jingzhou, Wang San, a fellow from Shanxi, asked to see him, hoping that Guan Gong would give him an official position in Jingzhou. Guan Gong saw that Wang Sanwen could not write and Wu could not use a sword, so he could not satisfy his request. When he learned that Wang San knew how to make wine, Guan Gong funded him to open a winery in Jingzhou. After the business started, some local ruffians were jealous. These people dressed up as Guan Gong's servants and came to deliver orders, asking Wang San to give Guan Gong a thousand taels of silver and hundreds of fine wines. Wang San thought, he didn't even accept the gifts from Guan Gong, how could he suddenly ask for such a heavy gift? When the gangsters saw that the deception was discovered, they showed their true colors, started fighting, smashed up the hotel, robbed the money and wine, and fled. . Wang San urgently informed Guan Gong, and Guan Gong personally handled the case, made clever arrangements, and finally arrested the gangsters one by one. After Wang San's old store reopened, business was more prosperous than before. Wang San hung up a portrait of Guan Gong in the store, not only to express his gratitude, but also to warn the ruffian that the store was protected by Guan Gong. Soon, portraits of Guan Gong were hung in many shops in Jingzhou City. From then on, Guan Gong was worshiped as the God of Wealth.

Story 2: After Guan Gong was trapped in Cao’s camp, Cao Cao sent ten beauties as a gift to retain Guan Gong, a small banquet every three days and a big banquet every five days. He also gave taels of silver and red rabbit horses. Keep Guan Gong. After Guan Gong learned of Liu Bei's whereabouts, he decided to bid farewell to Cao Cao. He registered the gold and silver treasures presented by Cao Cao one by one and listed them clearly according to "original, received, outgoing, and deposited", and then escorted Mrs. Gan Mi to Liu Bei. Afterwards, Cao Cao sighed when he saw the account book left by Guan Gong, so he asked all the officials in the palace and army who were in charge of accounting to use Guan Gong's account book as a model to clearly list the expenses. This accounting model was quickly adopted by many merchants. From then on, Guan Gong was worshiped as the God of Wealth.

Story 3: Guan Gong made a living by making tofu when he was young. He was good at financial management and accounting, and invented the "daily clearing book". Businessmen all followed suit and called Guan Gong the god of wealth management. There is also a saying in the south that Guan Gong's Qinglong Yanyue Sword is extremely sharp. The word "profit" for sharpness and the word "profit" for profit are the same, so Guan Gong is regarded as the God of Wealth.

Nowadays, many shops, restaurants, and enterprises have statues of Guan Gong, with incense and endless tributes. The purpose is to protect Guan Gong and attract wealth.

Secondly, it is said that Guan Gong is the god of war. Guan Gong is a great general whose bravery and majesty are rarely seen in the world. Therefore, martial arts practitioners regard him as a martial saint and respect him as a martial god. In this way, Guan Gong naturally becomes the patron saint of martial arts people. Guan Gong is also revered as the god of war and military, and the protector of soldiers. Since ancient times, when civil servants went to serve in the army or were ordered to fight on the battlefield, they would inevitably go to the Guandi Temple to pray for incense or amulets for protection. First, I ask Guan Gong to bless me for making great achievements, and second, I ask Guan Gong to bless me for a safe return.

Thirdly, Guan Gong is the god of culture and education. It is only natural and justified that Guan Gong is called the Martial Saint, and it is also recognized by the world. However, Guan Gong was actually also a literati. For example, when he was trapped in Cao Ying, he wrote "Wind and Rain Bamboo" in the form of poems and paintings. It is a poem spelled out with bamboo leaves: "Without thanks to Dong Jun, the painting has its own name. Don't think that the lonely leaf is dull, and it will not last for a long time." Wither." This is a self-portrait of his noble character and integrity, which cannot be changed in wealth, poverty or humbleness. For another example, the "Four Good Poems" written by Guan Gong - read good books, speak good words, do good deeds, and be good people - are still preserved in Guandi temples in Jiezhou, Shanxi, Dangyang, Hubei and other places. These are his The law of life has corrected people's wise sayings. Although these works are slightly inferior to the literary talents written by Cao Cao and his son, in terms of conception, they are by no means "comparable" with the articles of "Three Cao". In particular, Confucians call him the "Wenheng Emperor" because he likes to read "Spring and Autumn". Together with Wenchang, Zhu Yi, Kuixing and Lu Zu, they are called the "Five Wenchang Emperors". During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Guan Gong was also regarded as the god of imperial examinations. In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, fraud in scientific examinations was becoming more and more widespread. How to "reduced" the number of students without causing commotion? The approach at that time was to use Guan Gong, who was respected by all walks of life, as a "shield". Sun Piyang, the then Minister of Civil Affairs, advocated following the example of Guan Emperor The lottery method in the temple determines the career prospects of new scholars and officials, and Guan Gong's "divine power" is used to calm disputes. As a result, Guan Gong was worshiped by his disciples and became the god of imperial examinations. Now, students in many places in Taiwan, mainland China and Southeast Asia have to offer incense to Guan Gong before important exams.

Fourthly, it is said that Guan Gong is the god of medicine. In the old days, and even today, many people believed that illness and misfortune were caused by ghosts, gods and demons. Guan Gong is so brave that all ghosts and gods fear him, and he is also known as the "Emperor of Conquering Demons". Therefore, people rely on Guan Gong to exorcise demons, cure diseases, and control their homes to ward off evil spirits. When we go to the Guandi Temple, we can see that there is a fortune teller in front of the shrine. Guan Gong has become a psychological doctor again.

It is said that Guan Gong is the god of industry. In the old days, almost all of the seventy-two industries worshiped Guan Gong, especially industries such as hair-cutting, incense and candle making, money making, pawn making, leather, soy sauce gardening, pastry and other industries, which worshiped Guan Gong as their ancestor.

Regarding the worship of Guan Gong, Mr. Caring Gang, the current founding president of the Guan Clan Federation of China, wrote in the book "Guan Gong in Hedong": "In our country, officials worship Emperor Guan as a guide. The law is to correct oneself; farmers worship Guandi and pray for peace and good weather in the world; workers worship Guandi and pray for peace and prosperity of the country and the people; businessmen worship Guandi with the intention of seeking wealth from faith and profit from justice; soldiers worship Guandi and pray for peace and prosperity in the world. Aiming to serve the country with loyalty and bravery to kill the enemy; the overseas youths worship Guan Gong in order to be attached to the motherland and unite the Chinese people. Although the reasons for worshiping Guan Gong are varied, the same thing is that they all believe in Guan Gong. It can bring peace, wealth and happiness to people."

Guan Gong and the Spirit of the Times

In 20xx, the General Office of the Central Committee issued the "Opinions on Cultivating and Practicing Socialist Core Values". , dividing the 24-character core values ??into three levels:

Prosperity, democracy, civilization, and harmony are the goals of the national level;

Freedom, equality, justice, and the rule of law are the goals of society. Value orientation at the personal level;

Patriotism, dedication, integrity, and friendliness are the moral principles of individual citizens.

The national treasure of the Guandi Ancestral Temple in Jiezhou - the Ming Dynasty Guandi statue went on a parade in Taiwan

From the perspective of the core values ??and moral principles of citizens at the personal level, I think Guan Gong is loyal, righteous, benevolent and courageous. The spirit is the same. Guan Gong's "loyalty" refers to loyalty to the country, the court, the nation, the collective, and his chosen cause of supporting Han and resisting Cao Cao. Guan Gong's spirit of "loyalty to the country" is consistent with the "patriotic" moral code in the core values; Guan Gong's "righteousness" refers to following social justice and the loyalty between friends, which is both a narrow sense and a broad sense. , it is also a spirit of faith. Guan Gong's spirit of "faithfulness" is consistent with the moral code of "integrity" in the core values; Guan Gong's "benevolence" refers to benevolent governance, benevolence to the people, and great love and fraternity that embody moral civilization. In modern terms, it is Loving people, respecting people, understanding people, sympathizing with people, being kind to people, and helping people are consistent with the "friendliness" moral code in the core values; Guan Gong's "brave" refers to being brave and good at fighting, bravely championing the three armies, embodying It is a kind of brave spirit. Its essence is to inspire people to be brave enough to take on responsibilities, to fight hard, to start a business, and to be innovative. This is consistent with the moral code of "dedication" in the core values.

Jiezhou Guandi Temple

In 20xx, at the "Yao, Shun, and Yu Culture and Core Values ??of Contemporary Society" seminar held in Beijing, Li Xueqin, former president of the Chinese Pre-Qin History Society, and More than 40 experts and scholars, including Wan Junren, president of the Ethics Society, explored the source genes of socialist core values ??in China’s excellent traditional culture. From the cultural genes of Yao, Shun, and Yu, they deeply explored the similarities between the ideas of "morality, filial piety, publicity, integrity, respect, and loyalty" and the core values ??of socialism. They believed that the culture of Yao, Shun, and Yu contained the same ideas as the core values ??of socialism. "Harmony, friendliness, integrity, dedication, democracy, equality" and other cultural genes are inherited from one continuous line.

Students from a school in Taiwan spontaneously went to the school gate to welcome and send off the statue of Emperor Guan

The fourth generation made an appointment to pay homage to Guan Gong

Coincidentally, we see the same thing from Guan Gong It can be seen that its spirit of "loyalty, justice, benevolence and courage", just like the culture of Yao, Shun and Yu, contains the cultural gene of core values.

So, is this a coincidence, or does it have an inherent and inevitable connection?

In the previous chapter, Chapter 8 talks about "The place where Yao, Shun, and Yu built their capitals, where Confucianism and Taoism originated." In "The Land, First Called China", we have already learned about the relationship between Yao, Shun, and Yu culture and Confucian culture. If we think about it for a moment, we will suddenly realize that this is the case! We might as well summarize it in a simple way: Confucius "narrated Yao and Shun" to form Confucianism, and Guan Gong "read the Spring and Autumn Period at night" to form Guan Gong's spirit. In other words, Yao, Shun, and Yu were the "pioneers" of China's excellent traditional culture represented by Confucian culture. Confucius was the "pioneer" who followed the culture of Yao, Shun, and Yu to build Confucianism. Guan Gong was the great master of Confucianism and China's excellent traditional culture. "Practitioner".

Guan Gong is loyal to the country, benevolent to the people, trustworthy to his friends, and brave to his enemies. This character and spirit, as well as his excellent characters and virtues such as honoring promises, keeping promises, being honest with others, and acting bravely when he sees justice It will never go out of style and should never be abandoned. Guan Gong, with his lofty reputation and high moral charisma, has become our moral model and personality standard. The Guan Gong spirit is of great value to the country, the people, and to individuals. It will definitely enter the hearts and lives of modern people and move towards the continuously developing modern society.

No matter how the times change, no matter how far society develops, the spirit of Guan Gong is needed.

Guan Gong is the banner that leads us to climb to the peak of life.

A generation with such an elegant team must create a romantic era!

Here, with great reverence, the author praises the immortal Guan Sheng in our hearts. Emperor——

Gengzi raised wind and thunder, and the east of the river shook the world. Liang Xiangyun was so auspicious that Guan Yu was born. With red phoenix eyes and silkworm eyebrows, he is majestic and majestic; with a floating willow beard and a nine-foot body, he is majestic and majestic. Expand your righteousness and follow the way of heaven; punish the evil tyrants and bring blessings to your country. Determined to serve the country, they rushed to Zhuojun with a wave of arms; they were sworn in Taoyuan and held high the Kuanghan flag.

Holding the Yanyue Sword, riding a red rabbit horse, he lifted up the desert sand and swept the city. Warm wine and kill Hua Xiong, three heroes fight Lu Bu, pass five passes, kill six generals, protect Gan Mi's twin sisters, ride alone for thousands of miles, meet in the ancient city, take Liao Hua with righteousness, capture Fancheng with scheming, visit the thatched cottage three times, Huarong releases Cao, benevolently takes Huang Zhong , went to the meeting alone, flooded the seven armies, and scraped the bones to cure the poison. I feel grateful for the hard work and sigh for the four seasons. The master is Xuande, the friend is virtue, the righteousness is Mengde, he builds his body with virtue, and his achievements are unparalleled. People at that time praised him and said: With his heroic spirit, his cloak blew sand out of Puzhou; With his heart of ice, he supported Yuzhou with his magnificence and elegance; With his curved sword, he commanded the wind and clouds in Jingzhou; In the Spring and Autumn Period, he held a candle and watched Jiuzhou at night. Be loyal to the country, treat others with justice, behave with kindness, and fight with courage. The majestic clouds are long! Upholding the character of the mountains, accumulating the essence of the sun and the moon, a thin cloud, setting a model for the Chinese people; understanding the true meaning of the Spring and Autumn Period, practicing the Great Way of Lin Jing, one righteousness reaching the sky, and erecting the red flag of the national spirit.

Jihai weeps ghosts and gods, and Maicheng falls to Zhu Xi. The mountains and rivers of China shed tears, and the heroes were shrouded in horse leather. The head rests on Henan, the body is offered to Hubei, and the white exercises hang to the sky; the soul returns to Jin, with temples in all directions and sacrificial altars thousands of miles away. Weeping heroic souls pray everywhere; mourning heroic souls, the high mountains look up. Pious and sincere, his faith transcends time and space; the officials and the people are prosperous, and their ambitions will continue. People gathered together to show their kindness and lay the foundation stone with sweat. There are many palaces and temples, the world is full of them, smoke is curling up, and there are many pilgrims. Going back to the imperial palace, I admired the Guan Temple as the only one in the world; watching the officials and farmers making pilgrimages, I marveled at the worshipers. An ancestral temple reflects the aura of Jiezhou in the middle of the Yang; a ancestral temple, where the yin and yang are suspended by rare cypresses; a Guanling, where hundreds of generations have paid homage to the Yang; and a Guanlin, where thousands of years of worship have gathered in Luoyang. Throughout the dynasties, posthumous titles include: Grand Administrator of Xiangyang, Marquis of Shouting of the Han Dynasty, Chief of the Tiger General, Guan Zhuangmiao, Protector of Jialan, King of Yongwu'an, General of the Bandits, Gaitian Ancient Buddha, True Lord of Chongning, Emperor of Conquering Demons, Confucius of Shanxi , the world's martial sage, the great emperor Xietian, the emperor Guan Sheng, the most popular among all generations. It has been fragrant for hundreds of generations and is still remembered for eternity. It follows Confucianism, integrates Buddhism, and incorporates Taoism. The three religions and nine streams are all gods. Later generations said: Shi Jing is the public, martial priests are the saints, Wen Zun is the son, and the people worship him as the god. What a great emperor! He was first a warrior and a noble, he was a noble, a noble, a noble, a nun and a saint.

Inheriting the loyalty and bravery of Guan Gong and the benevolence and righteousness of my husband, we will continue to support you and unleash the great power of China's rejuvenation!
