What are the traditional macho men in China?

The reason why Zhang Fei is regarded as a simple and rude image with great strength and no brains is because he is a generous person. At that time, after fighting with Zhang He, he became famous after defeating Zhang He.

After defeating Zhang He, he became an eight-foot demon strongman. Moreover, due to the intensification and exaggeration of Zhang Fei's image in later dramas, Zhang Fei's image has further become a rough man with a beard, a burly figure, developed limbs and a simple mind. It was after Zhang Fei became famous that the poet spoke too highly of him, so there was no masked person with Zhang Fei. With Zhang Fei's deeds and rumors, Zhang Fei's image was supplemented, and the traditional image of Zhang Fei was born naturally.

Zhang Fei's two daughters are both married to young master Liu Chan. As the head of a country, Liu Chan will choose a concubine. Nature needs beauty. It can be seen that Zhang Fei's two daughters have never been very good-looking, so Zhang Fei naturally does not want to be as ugly as recorded in history.

In addition, Zhang Fei is not the legendary illiterate. He still has a certain cultural background, because Zhang Fei was well-off at that time, so it was not that he had no money to study, but that he was more famous than Zhang Fei in martial arts, so Zhang Fei's cultural accomplishment was ignored. Another reason is that Zhang Fei is surrounded by some top wise men in history, such as Zhuge Liang, so it seems that Zhang Fei's knowledge is inconspicuous.

Zhang Fei's character is honest, frank and generous, and he can say whatever he wants, so his image is fixed on the rough characteristics. Later, Zhang Fei became more confident because of his continuous meritorious service under the command of Liu Bei.
