Is Zhao Yun's hometown really Changshan? What is Zhao Yun's father?

Zhao Yun's hometown

Zhao Yun, a famous general of the State of Shu during the Three Kingdoms period, is remembered in history for his chivalry and courage. Although history is far away, later generations have never stopped exploring Zhao Yun, which includes the exploration of Zhao Yun's hometown. The hometown of Zhao Yun can now be seen in Lincheng.

Pictures of Zhao Yun's hometown

The building of Zhao Yun's hometown in Lincheng is relatively simple, as soon as you go in, you can see the sculpture of Zhao Yun holding a lance and riding a steed, and behind it, there is a place for people to pay tribute to Zhao Yun, and after that, it's just an introduction of Zhao Yun's life and so on.

But many people think that Zhao Yun's hometown in Lincheng is not real, because there is a sentence in the Three Kingdoms magazine: "Zhao Yun, the word Zilong, Changshan Zhending people." In other words, Zhao Yun's hometown was actually recorded in the Three Kingdoms Records. However, some people have suggested that this statement is not empirical evidence, so it is not credible, so Zhao Yun's hometown in the end where is it?

According to historical records, Zhao Yun's hometown is certainly in Changshan, because he also called himself Changshan Zhao Zilong, but as for which place in Changshan is now really no way to be sure, because history has been nearly two thousand years, many cultural relics have been lost, and can no longer be used as evidence. That is, the Three Kingdoms inside the Zhending said that now also simply can not be verified, archaeologists also deliberately traveled to Zhending, where there is no evidence to prove that Zhao Yun was born there, so that the problem is also an unsolved mystery.

But no matter where Zhao Yun's hometown is, it can't stop people nowadays from honoring him. Every year, there are still a lot of tourists going to Lincheng, the hometown of Zhao Yun, just to feel the breath of Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun's father

Looking through various books, there is no historical record of who Zhao Yun's father was, and there is a statement that his father's name was Zhao An, with little clarity, and of course, no knowledge of who his biological mother was.

But even so Zhao Yun could not have appeared out of thin air, wild history says his father was just a street ordinary small business small people, a pastry seller. He was an ordinary man who gave birth to such a good son as Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun's father was an ordinary man, but his son was not ordinary, so he must have been well educated. Of course, in that era, we can't rule out the fact that times make heroes. Even if that hero was not Zhao Yun, it must have been someone else. It also does show that Zhao Yun's father will be born, will educate the child, Liu Bei picked up a big advantage, the two therefore formed a relatively deep friendship.

It is also said that Zhao Zilong god man down to earth, the father of the god man this is even more difficult to say which one, it is not possible to Zhao Zilong is what the essence of the illusion of monsters. This is a bit of an exaggeration, and does not convince people of the true identity of his father. But who let people write the wild history of Zhao Zi Long as a god? If he is a god, it is possible that his father is also a god.

According to the official history, in a situation like the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when everyone was busy trying to escape and save their lives, Zhao Yun's relatives might have died in the war and it is not known. It is also possible that he was an orphan who suffered a lot during the war, and then was lucky enough to be adopted, which allowed him to survive.

Zhao Zilong was so used to seeing people living in misery that he was determined to change all that, and that's why he wanted to go to the Lord of Light, right? Otherwise, why would he say that he only needs to join the benevolent lord of the world?

Zhao Yun's Wild History

The weirdest thing about Zhao Yun's wild history is that he could have been a woman.

Saying he was a woman is not without merit, in fact, he was Liu Bei's confidante, but unfortunately, he was born in the wrong body of a daughter, and it was difficult to help the people who were struggling in the quagmire. So Zhao Zilong disguised as a man to join the army, and then met Liu Bei, and after getting along with him, he felt that he was a bright master, and has been following him.

There is also the claim of his daughter, the history books do not clearly record the information of Zhao Yun's children, and his several wives are fictionalized in other books. This is also likely to confirm that he was a daughter, and some books say that Liu Bei also liked to spend time with Zhao Yun, and even slept with him at night.

When Liu Bei met Zhao Yun for the first time, and he parted with Zhao Yun's hand, ask a man to a man at most is to appreciate each other, touching fists. How can he still pull his hand "reluctant to part"? Unless Liu Bei is a man who likes men, but that's impossible to say.

Zhao Yun is not willing to get married, in ancient times, the man is not a wife and children as the first priority? He was faced with the fact that Zhao Fan introduced his sister-in-law to him and had to refuse, and he even said that there were many women in the world as an excuse, wasn't it an excuse to cover up the fact that he was actually a daughter's body?

There is also a wild history of the cause of death of Zhao Zilong, legend has it that he has never been injured in his life, but he fought so many battles without a little injury really can not be said. So it was said that he was actually an immortal who had the ability to heal himself, and got well soon after he was wounded. But he had a dead end, that is, he could not be stabbed with an embroidery needle, otherwise he would bleed to death. His wife did not believe, really took the embroidery needle to stab him, and the result is that he really slowly fell sick and died.

However, the general history or true or false are later people fictionalized over, credible or not, talk about it after a laugh and put it, do not have to take these too seriously!

There are many people who play the role of Zhao Yun in movie and TV dramas, including Zhang Shan and Yang Fan. Zhang Shan played Zhao Yun as a teenager, and Yang Fan as a young man and a middle-aged man. But the more popular actor is Zhang Shan, why? People have the deepest impression of the scene in which Zhao Zilong saves Ah Dou in the battle of Chang Ban Po, so many people decided that Zhang Shan's performance touched them the most. When Zhao Zilong reappeared later he was young and middle-aged, and this time he was played by a different person, namely Yang Fan. Usually after the first appearance of the actor to impress the audience's heart and then change the actor will be some do not want to buy, so Zhang Shan played to let the audience like some more.

Zhang Shan as Zhao Yun

There is also an older Zhao Yun in this movie, called Hou Yongsheng, who mainly plays Zhao Yun, who followed Zhuge Liang after Liu Bei's death and made a great success of the war.

Nie Yuan also played Zhao Zilong in the new version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms. His version of Zhao Zilong is fresher and a bit more handsome, playing the role from the teenage Zhao Zilong until his death from illness. Nie Yuan's Zhao Yun was also praised as "the coolest Zhao Zi Long", and the reenactment of Zhao Yun's classic scene of the Battle of Chang Ban Po also left a good impression on many viewers. Nie Yuan wanted to play Lu Bu in the New Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but he ended up playing Zhao Yun.

There is also a TV series called "God of Wushu Zhao Zilong", played by Lin Renewal, but this TV series has not yet officially come out. Seeing the footage done is also an aesthetic version, and Lin update's look is more like King Lan Ling's costume. The female lead is a Korean star, teenage generation member Yoona.

The old version of the classic, impressive, the new version of the figure of a fresh, but it is not that the new is not good, always by the new version of the story led us to revisit the history of the time again.

Zhao Yun is Zhao Zi Long

Zhao Yun, his character is Zi Long, call him Zhao Yun or Zhao Zi Long can be. His hometown was Changshan, a native of Zhending, which is now Changshan, Hebei. Zhao Yun's costume was a white robe, and he was also known as the White Robe General, favored white horses, and his weapon was a silver spear.

Zhao Yun's portrait

Zi Long was a good fighter and a capable general under Liu Bei's ministry, and he learned his spear from Tong Yuan, to whom Zhao Zi Long was a disciple. Originally, Zhao Yun's master only had two disciples, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ren. These two men were also very famous and learned the "Hundred Birds Shooting Phoenix Gun" from Tong Yuan.

Zhao Yun in the late years of Tong Yuan living in the mountains to worship, looking at the handsome young man's face out of the country's aspirations and enthusiasm, Tong Yuan decided to accept Zhao Yun as a closed disciple. Only later did Zhao Yun create his own set of spear techniques after he had learned them, only no one guessed it. The first time he showed it was during a duel between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, where he was credited with killing the enemy and helping Gongsun Zan to win the battle.

After saving Liu Bei's son, Liu Zen, Zhao Ziyun became famous in one battle and has been known throughout the world ever since. This battle was also the most impressive, and many people remembered Zhao Yun as a person because of it. Liu Bei also valued Zhao Yun more and more, and even said to his son: this doll nearly cost me my rightful general.

He was also known as Changshan Zhao Zilong (常山赵子龙), because his hometown was Changshan and his name was Zilong (子龙), so he called himself Changshan Zhao Zilong (常山赵子龙).

Zi Long made many great achievements in his life, which his ordinary father did not do, including his famous generals, even his children did not have as many achievements as he did. The youngest son was killed in battle, the eldest son inherited his position, but this is fine, at least it is for the Zhao family's family heritage descendants.

Zhao Yun was Zhao Zilong, the God of War and Liu Bei's right-hand man.

Zhao Yun's Official Positions

Zhao Yun held many official positions in his life, the last of which was after his death, when he was posthumously awarded the title of Great General of Shu Han.

In history, it is said that although Zhao Yun was highly skilled in martial arts, he was not reused. Zhao Yun was introduced by the county and followed Gongsun Zan, who was not valued here, and did not give Zhao Yun any additional rank. When Liu Bei asked Gongsun Zan for help in borrowing troops, Gongsun Zan was lent by the unassuming Zhao Yun to Liu Bei. After the Battle of Xuzhou, Zhao Yun left Gongsun Zan after feeling unimportant and ungraded on Gongsun Zan's side, and feeling that Gongsun Zan would have a hard time achieving great things. Shortly after Zhao Yun left Gongsun Zan, Gongsun Zan was killed by Yuan Shao.

After leaving Gongsun Zan, Zhao Yun met Liu Bei in the old name and joined him, who was already in his 40s. In fact, Liu Bei didn't think much of Zhao Yun, and when Liu Bei was crowned King of Hanzhong, he merely appointed Zhao Yun as the left biased general, and was later promoted to to the general of Huwei. We all know that Zhao Yun's martial arts are by no means inferior to those of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Lu Bu and others. However, they are reused, and included in the tiger general, and Zhao Yun precisely did not, but Zhao Yun also no complaints.

After Liu Bei's death, Liu Zen succeeded to the throne, Zhuge Liang's southern expedition, Zhao Yun was already more than 60 years old, but also with Zhuge Liang set out. In the first northern expedition, Zhao Yun and Deng Zhi guarded the Keigu, was defeated due to the small number of soldiers, then Zhao Yun timely retreat, reducing losses, I heard that this time Zhao Yun seems to have been demoted from his official position. After Zhao Yun's death, he was posthumously appointed by Liu Zen as a general of Shu Han.

It can be seen that Zhao Yun's official position in his life is not ideal, following the Lord of the heavy not be important, to his death only to be awarded to him. However, regardless of whether Zhao Yun's official position is big or small, we worship him, because in his life, he has made countless times of sweat and toil, worthy of our respect.
