Why do people now offer Guan Yu to burn incense? What does that mean?

First, the sage of Wu was Yue Fei. Before the Qing Dynasty, temples in Wang Yue spread all over the country and were deeply respected and loved by people. But he fought against the invasion of Nuzhen, the ancestor of Manchu people. Therefore, after the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, Yue Fei's novels such as Yue Zhuan were completely banned, and the rulers of the Qing Dynasty began to vigorously promote the image of Guan Yu to replace Yue Fei's position in the hearts of the people and eliminate the people's anti-Qing consciousness. As for why it was Guan Yu, but not the military commanders such as Bai Qi and Sun Wu, who were much better than him, it was related to the personal hobbies of the rulers of the Manchu Dynasty, because the founder of the Manchu Dynasty, Nurhachi, loved reading The Romance of the Three Kingdoms and used the strategies in this novel in the process of his entrepreneurship. Later, the Manchu rulers regarded The Romance of the Three Kingdoms as a must-read. It is said that the emperor killed two famous people in the Ming Dynasty and Yuan Chonghuan with the stratagem of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It can even be said that without the teaching of the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms written by the Han people, the Qing Dynasty could not win the world at all. It was precisely because the rulers of the Qing Dynasty had special feelings for The Romance of the Three Kingdoms that Shunzhi named Guan Yu as the loyal emperor of Guan Sheng, SHEN WOO. In the third year of Yongzheng (A.D. 1725), Guan Yu's great-grandfather was given the title of Guang, Zu Yuchang Gong and Kao Gong, and a monument was built to worship the harem, and he decided to offer sacrifices on the fifth day of February every year. In the twenty-second year of Qianlong (A.D. 1725), the royal rulers of the Qing Dynasty, in order to eliminate the people's anti-Qing consciousness and strengthen the rule of the Manchu aristocratic ruling class, Jiaqing issued an imperial edict, that is, adding the word "benevolence and courage" to Guan Yu's title, and adding a plaque to the imperial book of Guandi Temple rebuilt in Hua County. Tang Xuanzong also added the word "Wei Xian". In the second and third years of Xianfeng (A.D. 1852, A.D. 1853), the words "protecting the country" and "protecting the people" were added to literate Sect twice. In the sixth year of Xianfeng (AD 1856), the word "sincerity" was added, and in the seventh year (AD 1857), the word "appeasement" was added. When offering sacrifices or sacrifices, it is usually called "loyalty, the spirit of SHEN WOO, kindness, courage, showing protection for the country, the people and the holy emperor". This title has been held by three generations, and it is really very old. So in the Qing Dynasty, Guandi Temple was built all over the country. According to the statistics of Xinbin only 19 10, there are 35 Guandi temples with 268 halls, and Guan Yu has become one of the highest gods in Manchu traditional religion, alongside the Tathagata. Therefore, accurately speaking, China's warrior is the national hero Yue Fei, and Guan Yu is the "warrior" tampered with and imposed by the rulers of the Qing Dynasty. Second, Guan Er is not an ordinary person. Everyone calls him "Wu Sheng", and this title is not in vain. Today, I am here to show the greatness of my second brother. Not to mention major events, from the perspective of Mr. Guan Yu's choice of followers, we can find that the second brother has extraordinary skills that ordinary people do not have. Guan Yu's experience of breaking through the five customs is very hard. Dealing with the enemy is not energy. When you meet someone who wants to defect to yourself, you should also be good at distinguishing between good and bad, and choose the best from the rough. Liao Hua, Pei and Zhou Cang came to the second brother all the way. The three men came from similar backgrounds, but Guan Yu had a good eye for gold, so he chose Zhou Cang alone. Zhou Cang's subsequent performances proved that our second brother's choice was irrefutable. The first is birth. Second brother has a proud temper. The so-called "down" is naturally that the more bitter the enemy is, the better. Zhou Cang was born in the Yellow turban insurrectionary and was a member of the real peasant uprising revolutionary ranks. He took root in Hongmiao and passed the political examination once. The second is loyalty. This kind of loyalty can't stop at the general level of loyalty to the cause, but also needs some personality worship, and we should be sincere fans of leadership, which Zhou Cang has done very well. As soon as he met Guan Yu, he excitedly told the story of how he was lucky enough to meet the general one day during the war years and how he fell in love for a long time afterwards. Now he is willing to "whip with stirrups and die willingly." The second brother immediately asked the eldest sister-in-law, and after this organizational procedure, he decisively took Zhou Cang in. Third, intelligence. For close subordinates, intelligence should not be too high. If your IQ is too high, your mind will start to wander, your boss will feel uneasy, and you will easily get into trouble. Wei Guo's Wei Yan and Shu Guo's Wei Yan died because of their high IQ and love of acting. Zhou Cang was stabbed three times in a battle with Zhao Yun, but when reporting to Guan Yu, he only said that this person was "extremely magnificent and I don't know his name". He didn't evaluate Zhao Yun's martial arts, but thought that the other side was bigger and stronger than him. This understanding is moderate. The next condition is good physical fitness, otherwise the body can't resist the heaviest weapons in the Three Kingdoms all day long. Zhou Cang's "two arms are powerful and indescribable", and his physical quality fully meets the standard. Also said that in the last example, Zhao Yun stabbed someone and died, while Zhou Cang was still jumping around after being shot three times. Because zhaoyun has never encountered this kind of situation in the past and later, it is also unclear. It is estimated that when Zhou Cang takes a leisurely walk, he can only silently obey. The next condition is also important to be brave. Guan Yu chickened out and looked forward fearlessly. When the time was right, he stretched out his arm and shouted, "Knife!" Huh? Nothing happened. Looking back, Zhou Cang was striding back with a broadsword, and the play was ruined. Everyone is easy to do, and Dian Wei is the second best. Zhou Cang's bravery is universally acknowledged. Even if he met enemies like Huang Zhong and Pound, Zhou Cang didn't flinch, and always handed the knife to Guan Yu accurately. When Guan Yu was scraping the bone to cure poison, Zhou Cang stood firmly behind Guan Yu, without frowning in pain. There is also the need to climb mountains and wade, which may be strange. Why is there such a requirement? Because Guan Yu's mount, the red hare, is very strange. "Climbing mountains and wading, like walking on the ground." If Zhou Cang wants to do this job well, he must follow the feeling of Red Rabbit. If he wants to climb a mountain, he must climb it. If he wants to stumble, he must stumble and say nothing. Zhou Cang once fought guerrilla warfare in the mountains at the low tide of the Yellow turban insurrectionary revolution, and his ability to climb mountains is self-evident. Zhou Cang bravely tackled Pound in the water, which is rare for him to be so good underwater. This also shows Guan's unique vision of people. Zhou Cang's excellent qualities and above gradually emerged in his revolutionary career, and Guan could make a lifelong decision without regrets at the first meeting. Do you think Guan should be regarded as a "warrior saint"? Lyu3 bu4 Li Wuxian said that he was a man, and his character could not be described as poor, but as despicable. Recognizing others as fathers for power and killing adoptive fathers for wealth and beauty. Ding Tao defected to Liu Bei after his defeat, and Liu Bei kindly took him in, but he took Xuzhou as a bully and so on. Nevertheless, Hou Wen has always wanted to beautify his reputation. Moreover, Lyu3 bu4 is timid and cherishes his life, forgetting the great righteousness for small profits. As for Lyu3 bu4' s intelligence, we can use ordinary people to describe it. This man's intelligence is the most common, and he has no great ambition. He only had the same thoughts as ordinary people at that time, and he was definitely not a saint.
