What is the wind in Zhao Yan?

The wind of Zhao Yan refers to the spirit of generosity, perseverance and unyielding.

"Zhao Yan" was originally a political identity and regional symbol during the Warring States and the anti-Qin period, but its political meaning gradually decreased and its regional meaning gradually increased. Today, "Zhao Yan" is another name for Hebei, but broadly speaking, Zhao Yan includes not only Hebei, but also Beijing and Tianjin, central and southern Inner Mongolia, and parts of northwestern Shanxi, Liaoning, Henan and Shandong.

Since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there have been more and more poems and articles with Zhao Yan as the place name. So the generous elegy became the representative of Zhao Yan's wind. It has also become a regional symbol that Hebei people are proud of.

The development of Zhao Yan style;

During the Warring States period, the style of Yan and Zhao was fierce and changeable, emphasizing loyalty and ignoring life and death. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the outstanding reasons should be combined with the background of that time. In the late Spring and Autumn Period, the separation of civil and military affairs of the "scholar" class led to the transformation from "scholar" to "chivalrous man", and chivalrous man formed the relationship between subject and object, and chivalrous man praised the spiritual value of "death festival".

The folk spontaneous "scholars die for friends" and the Jianghu morality driven by diners' families naturally become the dominant consciousness in the communication between scholars and the people.
