Guan Yu (AD 160 ─ 219 years), is the Three Kingdoms Shu generals, also known as Kuan Kung Shanxi-state solution. Kuan Kung's original name is said to not pass, but the surname Feng, because the record straight hurt lives, Bihuo flee. To one off before, he saw his paintings capture video graphics. Kuan Kung readily caught the chicken blood on the painted face, also pointed out that off as a last name that goes in the name of, actually fool the inventory of his government troops. But since then, Kuan Kung's face with blood but you can wash down, so red-faced Guan Gong in order to show the people, became a red face long to be heroes. Guan Yu's life, to chivalrous and valiant known. Whether to punish Wen Chou, chopped Yan Liang, over five Guan. Chopped 6 will be, or single-pole, attend the meeting, Crushing of bones treatment and drugs, have shown his brave fortitude. Whether fiction or drama, regarded as a matchless example of a hero to praise. Especially the ancient rulers for their political needs, but also for the Guan Yu wiping grease paint powder, hailed as gods, respect for the "Wu San," seems to be ages best in the world is perfect, it is too exaggerated. Whether Chen Shou's "Three Kingdoms" or Luo Guanzhong's "Romance of Three Kingdoms", are pairs of Guan Yu made a realistic assessment.

All these indicate that, saying that courage is rightly, claims that Chile is eclipsed. In fact, people have quite contentedly clear: The power of civil society to persuade others commandment arrogance always said that sentence is "The Five Mountain Passes, chopped 6 will be singing, lost Jingzhou, do not forget to take the Mai city." Really sharply. Speaking of loyalty, justice is more than the Zhong Guan Yu is also a lack of Huarong's Zhuofang Cao is not a clear example of? Overview of Shu Han Zhu Chen, on the loyalty, the text, but Zhuge, Wu Zhao, however, choose the General Guan Yu Peking Opera facial makeup will not be because of the stereotype - red face, said Tadao, right?
