Why did ancient people like Guan Yu's beard?

This is mainly related to the aesthetics of the ancients. The aesthetics of growing a long beard has become a popular tradition in ancient times since the Qin and Han Dynasties and has been handed down. Anyone familiar with the Three Kingdoms should know that Guan Yu's beard is particularly long, so Guan Yu is called a beard. Ancient people liked Guan Yu's beard because they thought it was beautiful and in line with their aesthetic concept. The ancients liked to grow a beard, just like the contemporary concept of thinness as beauty, which was influenced by an aesthetic concept handed down and has been the mainstream for a certain period of time.

Ancient people were very particular about beards. Different beards represent different identities and roles, and each class has its own beard characteristics. In other words, a person's identity and role can be roughly seen not only from his clothes, but also from his beard.

The ancient literati class liked to have a moustache on their lips and a long beard on their chin, representing hermits, nobles and literati. People with this kind of beard look handsome, but they are very troublesome to take care of, so they are almost aristocratic and literati class.

In addition, some people don't always take care of their facial beard. They left a so-called natural beard, which means they have a beard on their lips and don't pay attention to let the beard grow. This makes them look a little fierce, so most of them are soldiers, which makes them look brave and extraordinary. In addition, almost all ordinary people grow beards like this, because such beards don't need to be taken care of.

Guan Yu's beard is actually a long beard, so it looks very handsome. But the reason why everyone likes Guan Yu's beard best is that it represents the scholar class and the ruling class, so everyone likes Guan Yu's beard. China people like to grow beards because their parents are influenced by their bodies and cannot be easily damaged. This is a traditional concept handed down.
