Sorry, sorry, I just saw a complaint from a reader. Some people said that they subscribed to Chapter 308 twice. I took a look and it was really my mistake.

"Tune it to "Remarks on the Work", so the last chapter is still charged, but I remember that I changed it... In short, no matter what, I will compensate for a free chapter tomorrow.

You can trust my integrity. A similar situation happened before in Chapter 145, and I also made up for it for free!

Speaking of which, I wrote an essay a few days ago, so I'll take it as an apology and send it to everyone to read. (This chapter is free, but it doesn't count as compensation. There will be a free chapter tomorrow)

Regarding how Guan Yunchang became a god step by step, this article is very well written, and the source is mostly given (the picture of the article is in the comment area, if you can't see it, it means you have been clipped, and there is nothing you can do about it)

In addition, I would like to add a little-known story. During the Beiyang period, a Taoist society published a book called "Dongming Baoji". It is said that it was widely circulated at that time.

The background at that time was that during the late Qing Dynasty and the Beiyang period, the country was deprived of power and humiliated, and the people were in dire straits. Therefore, people placed their hope in religion, and this book was born at that time.

"Dongming Baoji" roughly tells the story that in the late Qing Dynasty, "people's hearts were broken and the seeds of disaster were sown."

There are a lot of words, but only five words: There is no salvation in this world!

When the Jade Emperor saw the sudden chaos in the world, he became furious and wanted to bring about a disaster that would destroy the world and send everyone to hell, where they would never be able to stand up again (familiar plot)

At this time, the five saints Guan Di, Wenchang, Lu Zu, Yan Hui and Guanyin asked the Jade Emperor to forgive the sins of mortals and expressed their willingness to descend to earth with the gods to educate the world.

The general content of this Fuqi book is the story of brothers Guan Yu and Yang Baoyi as the protagonists, traveling through hell and saving the people below (the latter is similar to John in the Book of Revelation)

Of course, if it's just like this, it doesn't seem to be anything special, but there are three interesting points in it.

The first is that the author was a Jinshi in the Qing Dynasty, so his writing style is quite good.

The second is the final visit of the Ten Thousand Immortals. The Western gods knelt down in front of the Chinese gods to listen to the instructions, which fulfilled the reality of the unattainable vision of the Ten Thousand Nations coming to the DPRK.

The third is that after the incident was completed, the Jade Emperor actually gave up his seat to Guan Yu, and Guan Yu became the Jade Emperor, also known as the Emperor Guan (from the sister chapter "The Peach Banquet"). Then in the Mingzhengtang of the Wu Temple in Taiwan Province, it actually happened

Consecrated Guan Yu as the 18th Jade Emperor, also known as the Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Lord, the Xuanling High God

Incidentally, the 17th generation Jade Emperor is the Jade Emperor, the Great God of Heaven, Xuan Qiong Gao Shen, who is also the Jade Emperor in "Journey to the West"

In fact, just looking at this book, many of them are feudal dross, which is a bit retrograde. The book advocates the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Constant Rules to open up the door for feudal ethics. But combined with the depressing social reality at the time, it is not incomprehensible...

Because both the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China were bullied by others, even if the superiors said that they wanted to learn Western technology, they could not compare with others, and they were still beaten. In such an environment, people were depressed and couldn't find a way out, so they could only turn their heads and pray to their ancestors, hoping that their own

The gods are more powerful than other gods. I wrote this book to comfort myself.

In the book, the most powerful fairy in China, Mother Wuji, orders the gods in the Western world to stop making guns and let the world return to peace.

The reason is that if you make guns, you have to fight, and there will be corpses everywhere. If other countries make guns, your own country will make more powerful guns, so more people will die, and the vicious cycle goes on and on.

To a certain extent, this view is now mainstream. The more famous one is the marathon theory in Ultraman Seven.

In the book, Wuji's mother said: "My mother taught me to be silent, cultivate literature and practice martial arts. I stopped making guns and artillery, emphasized humanity, took Confucius as my teacher, and unified religion. I stopped fighting, stopped fighting, talked about peace, made peace, and had no grudges or disputes. We carried out trade and exchange.

We share the same culture and common deeds, we are kind and kind to our neighbors, we are like brothers and sisters.”

Looking at this paragraph alone, apart from "taking Confucius as the teacher and unifying religions", the rest seems to be the purpose of the existence of the United Nations today.

But these words could only exist in the books of Chinese people's self-fantasy at that time, and foreigners in reality would only laugh when they saw them. Because the old China was poor and weak, everything they said was just the nonsense of poor people.

No matter how good the weapons we criticize are, they cannot replace the criticism of weapons in other people's hands. The person in their hands is the real truth.

So we also need powerful truths, shocking truths

Let the whole world listen carefully to every word we say

The following paragraph was just written tonight. I suddenly thought of it, so I just wrote it. Anyone who can read this essay to the end should be interested in Guan Yu.

First of all, I can understand the Chinese people's admiration and love for Yue Fei. Yue Fei's ability is indeed first-class, and the tragic and frustrating ending is also regrettable.

But here I want to refute a rumor that has been circulating for a long time, that is: before the Qing Dynasty, Yue Fei's status was always higher than Guan Yu, or the two were on par. It was after the Qing army entered the pass, because the Qing army had no culture, they only read "Three Kingdoms"

"The Romance" conquered the world, and in order to suppress Yue Fei who resisted the Jin Dynasty, he elevated Guan Yu's status and suppressed Yue Fei's.

This is a very stupid and vicious rumor. It pits Guan Yu and Yue Fei against each other, ties Guan Yu to the Manchus, and portrays him as an "accomplice" in suppressing Yue Fei. It also damages Guan Yu's image.

First of all, there was no official or mythological status of Guan Yu lower than or equal to Yue Fei before the Qing Dynasty.

Guan Yu's status is higher than Yue Fei from beginning to end. Of course, this does not mean that Guan Yu is better than Yue Fei, but that the ancient Chinese "thick the ancient and despise the modern" is unique to ancient China. Guan Yu was born 1,000 years earlier than Yue Fei, and the status of the ancients was higher than that of the later generations.

Very normal.

According to some ancient records, Guan Yu was granted the title of king during the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, and was further granted the title in the Yuan Dynasty. Although in the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang deprived Guan Yu of his royal title and changed it back to the title of Hou Tinghou of the Han Dynasty (I want to complain here, Lao Zhu did not

Culture, Guan Yu was a Tinghou (pause) of Hanshou, his fiefdom was in Hanshou, and his title was Tinghou. The feudal lords of the Han Dynasty were divided into three levels: county marquis, rural marquis and Tinghou. But Zhu Yuanzhang made a mistake and thought that Guan Yu was from the Han Dynasty.

Shoutinghou, and then even the official documents were written incorrectly, and it was not corrected until the Jiajing period or possibly the Wanli period). However, Zhu Yuanzhang built a small temple for Guan Yu alone, and he enjoyed a small prison by himself. At this moment,

Yue Fei shared a small prison with dozens of ministers in the temple of the emperors of all dynasties, and three or four people shared a small prison.

Therefore, even in the early Ming Dynasty when Guan Yu's status was lower, Guan Yu should be stronger than Yue Fei.

Not to mention the middle and late Ming Dynasty, Guan Yu was first named the Great Emperor Xietian, and then became the familiar "Great Emperor of the Three Realms Conquering Demons with Shenwei Yuanzhen Tianzun Guan Sheng Emperor", who lived in Dantian Conquering Demon Palace.

At this time, Yue Shuai was the "General Jingmo of the Three Realms" under Emperor Guan. It is also said that he acted for Guan Yu's official position before he was conferred the title of emperor. It is also said that he was the "Great Emperor Jingmo of the Three Realms, King Yuewu who protects the robbers and prosperous fortunes", and his status is also very high.

High, but looking at the title, he is lower than Guan Yu.

As for some people who say that Yue Fei was also named "The Great Emperor of Jingmo of the Three Realms, Loyal, Filial and Wonderful, Heavenly Lord Yuesheng Emperor", I'm sorry, I didn't find any source. Maybe it came from the Republic of China period, maybe it was made up by later generations to forcibly elevate Yue Fei's status.

(This rumor is quite widespread). In short, it cannot come from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and there is no official endorsement.

Please note that Guan Yu was made emperor and Yue Fei was made king and became a general under Guan Emperor. This happened in the Ming Dynasty, so there is no "Yue Fei's status was not inferior to Guan Yu before the Qing Dynasty".

Moreover, due to the fermentation of a series of opera novels such as "Three Kingdoms" and "Three Kingdoms" during the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, Guan Yu's status has been rising.

By the middle and late Ming Dynasty, Guan Yu had become the military god of the Ming Dynasty army. During the Wanli period, the Ming army fought against the Japanese and aided Korea. It also brought Guan Emperor's beliefs to North Korea and built many Guan temples in North Korea.

After the Ming army left, North Korea also built many Guan temples. Now Yi Sunchen, who is touted by Bangbang as one of the "three famous generals in the world", went to a certain Guandi temple together with Deng Zilong and others to pay tribute to Grandpa Guandi.

As a partner (it can be said that at that time, Bangbang people were still very self-aware and knew that Yi Sun-shin was at the level of a partner for Guan Yu).

In short, by the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the status of Guan Yu and Yue Fei had further increased, and by the Qing Dynasty, Yue Fei was even more out of reach.

[To be honest, I’ve been reading books recently to catch up on updates, switch sources, read aloud with many sounds, and it’s available on both Android and Apple.]

By the Qing Dynasty, Guan Yu and Confucius were both known as the two saints, Confucius in Shandong and Guan Fuzi in Shanxi. Moreover, although Confucius has been highly respected for more than two thousand years, among the people, the number of Guandi temples is far more than that of Confucius.

.

Folk traders and lackeys may not have read the Analects of Confucius, but they definitely know about Master Guan's many outstanding deeds such as resigning his seal and returning his gold and riding alone for thousands of miles. It can be said that Guan Yu has become a national idol during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and has become popular among the people.

Overwhelmed by Confucius, a sage for more than two thousand years.

I personally think that Guan Yu's belief is a great, bottom-up counterattack, symbolizing the power and cry of the people. However, this topic is a bit big, and I will talk about it again when I have the opportunity.

Yue Fei's status improved again. It was during the Beiyang period of the Republic of China that the government organized a joint worship of Guanyue temples and changed some Guandi temples into Guanyue temples. However, at this time, Guan Yu was still in front and Yue Fei was behind. Moreover, the Beiyang Dynasty was in turmoil.

The matter ended quickly and there was no further follow-up.

Nowadays, many people are grievances about Yue Fei, but this is completely unnecessary. The Guan Yu that people worship is no longer the historical Guan Yu, but a kind of Guan Yu who is idolized by many folk stories. The two of them are not idol idols, so there is no need.

In order to stand up for Yue Fei, he belittled Guan Yu Yunyun.

This is the choice of history and the choice of ancient people.

Incidentally, during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Taoists would have a ceremony to worship the gods before performing the "Thirty-Six Parts of the Supreme Sutra", which was called "The Enlightenment of the Thirty-six Parts of the Supreme Supreme Way".

"Please Ke Yi", one of the Tianzun is Guan Yu.

At this time, Guan Yu's functions have been super strengthened: "The Supreme God is powerful, the English is powerful, the loyalty is righteous, the noble and incorruptible, the cooperating with the emperor, the virtue and the righteousness. He is in charge of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and he is in charge of the talents of the world. The boss.

Thirty-six days of stars in Yunhan, under the jurisdiction of seventy-two earth bases and secluded mountains. Hold the book of elixirs that note the merits of life and prolong life, hold the black book of death, sin and death. Investigate the Buddhas and gods, supervise the work of the immortals and the gods. Highly realize the magic.

The fruit is immeasurable. The most spiritual and holy, the most supreme and supreme. The great emperor who conquers the demons, the emperor who is the saint, the great compassion and the great wish, the great sage and the great benevolence, the pure and original response, the bright light and the Han spirit to bless the heaven."

Key points: The power to control Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and the power to manage the talents of the world. The boss is the thirty-six stars in the sky, and the seventy-two earth bases are under the jurisdiction.

Ji. Investigate the Buddhas and gods, supervise the duties of the immortals and the gods.

So those who scold Mr. Guan should be careful. Mr. Guan is in charge of the authority of the three religions, is responsible for the promotion work of the thirty-six days and seventy-two places, supervises all the gods and Buddhas, writes the merits, sins, life span, and even life and death in the world. He is not just the God of Wealth!
