From the seven personality qualities of Guan Yu to see how the Chinese people behave themselves

Confucianism is called holy, Buddhism is called Buddhism, Taoism is called Heavenly Father, and the three religions are all converted. The first thing I'd like to say is that I'm not going to be able to do anything about it.

Gong Guan's person:

Gong Guan, the name of Yu, the word Yun Chang, Shanxi Yuncheng Xiezhou people, a lifetime to follow Liu Bei, loyal, do not avoid the difficulties and dangers, Liu Bei into a great cause. Guan Gong's qualities of loyalty, righteousness, benevolence, courage, trust, courtesy and wisdom have concentrated the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, and contain the ethics, morality and ideals of traditional Chinese culture. In Taoism, he is honored as "God of God, Emperor of Guan Sheng" and "God of Xuan Ling"; in Buddhism, he is honored as "Bodhisattva of Galapagos and Ancient Buddha of Gaiten". For more than a thousand years, he has been the object of folk worship, widely embraced by the world, and become a representative of loyalty, integrity, and a symbol of peace.

Mr. Davidk jordan (Chinese name Jiao David), professor of anthropology at the University of California, San Diego, and PhD in anthropology at the University of Chicago, is also a great admirer of the God of Guan; "I respect this great god of yours, who deserves the respect of all people. His benevolence, righteousness, wisdom and courage are still relevant until now; benevolence is love, righteousness is credibility, wisdom is culture and courage is not afraid of difficulties. If all of God's people were like your Lord Guan, our world would be a better place."

The loyalty, righteousness, benevolence, courage, trust, courtesy, wisdom, etc. that coalesce in Guan Yu and are looked up to by all the world*** contain the ethics, morality, and ideals of the traditional culture of the Chinese nation, permeate the Confucianism's Spring and Autumn Essence, and converge for the Shih Chiao and Taoist teachings of the values of life, and at the same time is a basic do-gooding truth for the common people, which embodies the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation.

Allusion to Guan Gong, for example:

Allusion to loyalty: Surrender to Han, not Cao

In 200 AD, the fall of Xiapi, Guan Gong was trapped in the mountains, and was persuaded to surrender by Zhang Liao with the "three sins," and has been "in the heart of Cao camp in the Han". In the face of Cao Cao's efforts to attract him, Guan's loyalty to Liu was as strong as a rock. In the face of Cao Cao sent Zhang Liao to ask: "If Xuan De has abandoned his life, where will he return to?" He said, "I would like to go underground." This resolute answer fully demonstrated Guan Yu's determination to be loyal to Liu Bei. Guan Yu was not only loyal to Liu Bei, but also to the Han dynasty, which was often referred to as "loyalty to the Han". When Cao Cao was hunting in Xutian, Guan Yu killed Cao Cao in anger for his unauthorized behavior of deceiving the king and overriding his superiors, but Liu Bei did not allow him to do so. Since he and Liu Bei were united in the Peach Orchard, Guan Yu never forgot to say, "I am united in the Peach Orchard with Liu Bei to support the Han Dynasty, even though I have to go through fire and water to do so. This will be as solid as a rock, until the death of Macheng, has not been unchanging, in the surrender of Cao Cao, Guan Yu, the first paragraph of the three things is "I only surrendered to the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, do not surrender to Cao Cao". It can be seen that "loyalty to the Han" is an important virtue that Guan Yu has honored and abided by all his life. It is this "loyalty to the Han" and "loyalty to the Lord" in Guan Yu's character that meets the needs of successive rulers, Guan Yu has been molded into an unparalleled statue of loyalty.

The allusion to righteousness: The Peach Garden

Guan Yu befriended Liu Bei and Zhang Fei in Zhuo County (now Zhuozhou, Hebei), and the three of them were like-minded and fell in love at first sight, and they were unusually friendly and close to each other as brothers. Later legend has it that Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were once righteous in the Peach Garden. "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is "acting" out their vows: "Although different surnames, both brothers, then work together to save the poor and help the perilous; on the country, under the populace, do not ask for the same year, the same month and the same day of life, I wish the same year, the same month and the same day of death." Although this is a novelist's words, but because it meets the lower and middle class people's mentality in the era of frequent turmoil, so the impact is huge. In later times, many peasants revolted, all follow the form of the righteousness, to consolidate the team, to strengthen the unity. Guan Yu began his military career from then on. From the first year of Zhongping (184) until his death, Guan Yu always followed Liu Bei faithfully, "following him around, not avoiding difficulties and dangers" (Three Kingdoms - Shu Shu - Guan Yu Biography). In order to this Taoyuan righteousness, Guan Yu lifelong follow Liu Bei, difficult to be the same, blessed *** enjoy, honor and disgrace with ***, lifelong unswerving.

In addition to this special "righteousness" of Liu Bei, Guan Yu is also manifested as a general interpersonal interaction between friends "righteousness". This kind of interpersonal interaction of righteousness can include "heroes know heroes", "a promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold", "speak friendship, keep promises", "bright and upright, upright and not ah "

The content and aspects of the "clear distinction between grudges and favors" and so on.

An allusion to Ren: Ren treats Huang Zhong

In 210, Guan Gong was ordered to take Changsha and fought against the veteran general Huang Zhong. Huang Zhong's horse lost its front hooves and was lifted to the ground, Guan Gong will never take advantage of people's danger, but instead, he said quickly go to change the horse to share the victory, really bright and upright, the heroes of all time is difficult to compare and contrast. Changsha guard Wei Yan regicide guard Han Xuan open the city gate to surrender, Guan Gong and lead Liu Xian master prepared to enter the city to visit Huang Zhong, Huang Zhong was then returned to obedience.

Brave allusion: single knife to the meeting

215 AD, Liu Bei to take Yizhou, Sun Quan Zhuge Jin to find Liu Bei to ask for Jingzhou. Liu Bei did not agree, Sun Quan was extremely annoyed, so he sent Lu Meng to lead the army to take Changsha, Zuoling, Guiyang three counties. The generals of Changsha and Guiyang surrendered immediately. When Liu Bei learned of this, he personally rushed from Chengdu to Gongan (present-day Public Security of Hubei Province) and sent his general Guan Yu to fight for the three counties. Sun Quan also immediately stationed in Lukou, and sent Lu Su to defend Yiyang against Guan Yu. The two sides were at cross swords, and the Sun-Liu alliance was facing a rupture. At this critical moment, Lu Su, in order to safeguard the alliance and not to give Cao Cao an opportunity to take advantage of it, decided to talk to Guan Yu face to face." Lu Su invited Guan Yu to meet with him, each stationing his troops and horses a hundred paces up, but all the generals will meet with a single sword". The two sides went through talks and eased the tension. Subsequently, Sun Quan and Liu Bei agreed to divide Jingzhou equally and "cut the Xiangshui River as the boundary, so they stopped their troops", thus the Sun-Liu alliance could continue to be maintained.

An allusion to the letter: Cao Cao

After Cao Cao took over Jiangling, he became even more powerful, with the intention of engulfing Liu Bei, who had no place to stand, and destroying Sun Quan in Jiangdong. This led to the famous Battle of Red Cliff, in which Sun Quan and Liu Bei defeated Cao Cao. In November, the allied forces of Sun and Liu defeated Cao Cao at Chibi (the present-day scenic area of Chibi Town, Chibi City). The 10,000-strong navy led by Guan Yu was Liu Bei's main force and played an important role in the battle. In order to emphasize Guan Yu's "all-around righteousness", the details of his explanation to Cao Cao at Huarong Road were performed and are still popular today. It also reflects Guan Yu's charisma of keeping promises and distinguishing between grudges.

The allusion to the gift: candlelight

In 200 A.D., Cao Cao led a group of divisions on the way back to Xuchang, want to cut off Guan Gong and Liu Bei's love, resting in the post house, intentionally arranging for Guan Gong and his second sister-in-law **** in a room in the middle of nowhere. Guan Gong is a candle standing in the outdoor guard, since the night up to Dan, no tired color. Seeing him like this, he became more and more respected. In the whole protection of the two sisters-in-law during the period, Guan Gong always put the two sisters-in-law's safety as the most important thing, strictly abide by the moral principles of etiquette, to the two sisters-in-law courtesy and respect, can be described as a model of etiquette and morality. Cao Cao was touched by his rigorous and stereotypical behavior and etiquette, and was not the least bit reproachable. Not only that, Guan Yu also allocated the beautiful women and money Cao Cao gave him to the two wives, and bowed down to wait on them, greeting them at the right time every day, completely and accurately fulfilling the duties of a subject and uncle.

An allusion to Wisdom: Flooding Seven Armies

Pound in the valley, Guan Duke see the valley hidden in the army, and see the Xiangjiang River water rapid, so he sent people to block the various water outlets, until the rain and water, let the water flooded Fancheng, and then soon, Cao Cao's seven armies were all lost in the water.
