Chapter 286 Liu Bei’s idioms

"King Liu Sheng of Zhongshan has many sons and countless descendants. Since Liu Bei is related to him, no one will doubt him."

"In The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei was also called Uncle Liu because of his origin. The Liu Bei described in this book was a benevolent king who loved his people like a son, treated his subordinates with kindness, and wanted to restore the Han Dynasty."

"Of course, The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a novel, and the descriptions in it are definitely not very credible."

"Then what kind of person is Liu Bei?"

"During the Three Kingdoms period, many people scolded Liu Bei and called him a mat weaver and shoe seller. It is said that Liu Bei's father Liu Hong died early. Liu Bei and his mother depended on each other and relied on weaving mats and selling shoes to make a living."

Wuyou smiled when he said this: "Heroes don't care about their origins. Zhu Yuanzhang was once a beggar and a monk. Didn't he conquer the Ming Dynasty? It's not what a hero does to attack others for having a lowly career."

Three Kingdoms Time and Space
Zhang Fei was stunned at first, and then shouted: "This...how do you say this? How did you make me so ugly?"

Later he added: "The fairy is right, a hero does not care about his origin."

Guan Yu also stroked his beard and nodded: "Very true."

Liu Bei smiled: "I have never been weaving mats and selling shoes because of this. This is a fact."

Just when Zhuge Liang came over, Liu Bei invited him to watch the sky together. At the same time, he also lit a fire and grilled meat on the fire, eating and watching.

Cao Cao was also watching the live broadcast with a few of his confidants.

Hearing this, he said coldly: "It seems that the fairy is partial to the big-eared thief."

"My lord." All his confidants said: "The fairy hasn't talked about my lord yet, but when she does, she will definitely be praised a lot."

Sun Quan and Zhou Yu were sitting together, and Sun Quan said: "Then Liu Bei is also a hero."

Zhou Yu smiled but said nothing.

Wuyou took a sip of water and continued: "Let's talk about his background, and let's talk about Liu Bei's appearance. According to historical records, Liu Bei is seven feet five inches tall, with his hands hanging down past his knees, and his ears can be seen. There is also a theory that his ears hang down from his shoulders. .”

"Let's make a portrait based on this description."

Wuyou found a portrait of Liu Bei based on the description. As soon as the portrait came out, countless people under the sky burst into laughter.

Even Liu Bei couldn't help but shake his head after reading it: "How could it be like this? Later generations spread rumors and misinformation like this."

"What a big-eared thief." Many people who didn't deal with Liu Bei pointed and laughed.

Wuyou couldn't stop laughing.

"Did you see it? It would be really weird if the portrait was made according to the records in the history books. The proportions are really uncoordinated. How can anyone look like this?"

After she smiled, she pointed at the portrait and said bit by bit: "Let's talk about his height first. In modern times, three feet is one meter, and seven feet five inches is two meters and five meters."

Wuyou stood up and went to the door to gesture: "My door is about two meters, so it is higher than the door..."

After making the gesture, she said: "This is really too high. However, the size in ancient times is different from modern times. During the Three Kingdoms period, a foot was about 21.35-23.75 centimeters. If we use the highest value to calculate, Liu Bei's height is about It is a little over 1.7 meters, which is within the normal range. If calculated according to the minimum value, it is 1.6 meters, which is considered normal. In other words, Liu Bei's height is approximately between 1.6 meters and 1.8 meters, then take The median value is 1.7 meters." "He is 1.7 meters tall, with his hands above his knees, which is a bit too long. I guess his arms are longer than ordinary people, so some people use exaggeration. Speaking of which, saying that his hands were above his knees and that his ears were hanging down from his shoulders was probably an exaggerated metaphor. Liu Bei had big earlobes, which was considered a blessing to the ancients. From word to person, it was said that he had long earlobes. To the shoulders.”

Wuyou opened a picture again.

"Draw another picture based on my speculation, and that's what it looks like."

Liu Bei is obviously much more normal in this portrait. He looks like a very imposing middle-aged man.

After Wuyou showed the portrait, he felt a little hungry, so he took some food to make up for it.

"And Liu Bei was born in the royal family of the Han Dynasty, so why did he end up weaving mats and selling shoes?"

"Liu Bei's ancestor was named the King of Zhongshan. The Zhongshan Kingdom at that time was in the Hebei area, and Liu Bei was born in Zhuo County, Zhuo County, Youzhou, which later became Zhuozhou City, Baoding, Hebei. His grandfather and father both He passed the official position, but his father died early, so the family naturally had less income. In order to survive, he could only manage these things to make a living."

"Now that we've talked about his appearance and origin, let's talk about some idioms and allusions related to Liu Bei."

"Idioms related to Liu Bei include weaving mats and selling shoes, sworn friendship in the peach garden, visiting the thatched cottage three times, Bai Di Tuogu, meeting in the ancient city, not knowing Ding Dong, etc."

"The allusions related to Liu Bei include making wine and discussing heroes, and there is also a saying that Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou, and he only borrowed it but never returned it."

"Then let's first talk about what kind of person Liu Bei is from these idioms and allusions."

"Taoyuan sworn brotherhood" is about Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei who have similar interests and become brothers of the opposite sex. From then on, they will never leave each other and support each other to achieve a successful career. Here Liu Bei is the elder, Guan Yu is the second, and Zhang Fei is the elder. Young. Of course, this is the description in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. In fact, Guan Yu is the longest among the three."

"Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage" tells the story of Liu Bei, who heard about Zhuge Liang's name and personally went to ask him to help him, but Zhuge Liang avoided seeing him. Liu Bei went to invite him three times, but Zhuge Liang was impressed by his sincerity, so he came to assist Liu Bei."

"This is also emphatically described in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. As for whether it is true, we can see that there is such a description in Zhuge Liang's list of disciples. The late emperor did not regard his ministers as despicable, and he was in vain. He paid three respects to his ministers in the thatched cottage. This can be seen from this. it is true."

"The White Emperor entrusted him with an orphan. Liu Bei died of illness in Baidi City. Before his death, he called Zhuge Liang to his side and entrusted him with state affairs and Liu Chan."

"Meeting in the Ancient City tells the story of the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang meeting again in the ancient city after being separated for about half a year."

"But what Ding Dong was talking about was that Cao Cao captured Lu Bu and wanted to let him go. At this time, Liu Bei said, "Didn't you see what happened to Ding Jianyang and Grand Master Dong?" After hearing this, Cao Cao finally killed Lu Bu."

汉朝
Liu Che laughed when he heard this and said: "Liu Bei has quite a lot of stories, but it's a pity that he doesn't have as many idioms as Han Xin."

Liu Sheng didn't even bother to drink. He looked at the sky and laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, it is indeed right to have more sons. There will always be promising ones who can pass down the name of his ancestors to future generations."

Three Kingdoms
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment and then said: "It's a pity. I regret that I should have killed Lu Bu. Otherwise, I would have gained a tiger general."

When Liu Bei saw this, he smiled: "It seems that future generations still respect us very much."

Ming Dynasty
Zhu Yuanzhang said loudly: "Go and find out, who wrote the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?"

Empress Ma patted him on the side and said: "Don't stir up trouble like this. I'm afraid this book was written by a talented person after us. If you just check it, where can you check it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang then gave up: "What a pity, I can't see it."
