I remember reading "Guan Yu Warm Wine and Killing Huaxiong" in middle school Chinese textbooks when I was a child, and the storyline was full of twists and turns, especially the scene where Guan Yu killed Huaxiong was even more impressive. This second master Guan, who was praised by Grandpa Luo as a mighty man, blocked the princes of the Eighteenth Road outside Bishui Pass (Tiger Prison Pass), and actually killed several generals in a row, and his reputation was great. However, such a mighty image only highlighted Guan Yu's bravery, because he confidently used the drag-knife trick and instantly took off Hua Xiong's head.
However, in this article, I want to talk about not the well-known Guan Erye, but a supporting character who plays an unforgettable role in this story, and it can even be said to be a trick. This "general" Pan Feng, his identity sounds quite weighty, after all, who can be given the name of "general"?Recall the five tiger generals: Guan, Zhang, Ma, Huang, and Zhao, all of whom are brave and invincible. In the original work, Yuan Shao said: "It's a pity that my admiral Yan Liang and Wen Chou have not arrived!."If you have to be alone, why be afraid of Huaxiong!The "generals" mentioned here are extraordinary people.
As soon as he appeared, Pan Feng attracted much attention. Why?Outside the Bishui Pass, because Hua Xiong was too ignorant of the height of the sky, he even challenged Sun Jian's red red silk (possibly a turban or other costume) to taunt the princes of all walks of life. Yuan Shu sent the "Xiao General" Yu She, hoping that he would be able to cut off Hua Xiong's head, but soon after, a small soldier rushed to the scene and reported: "Yu Shi and Hua Xiong did not fight three times, and was beheaded by Hua Xiong." Everyone was shocked, Huaxiong's strength was intimidating. However, Han Fu immediately stepped forward and declared: "I have General Pan Feng, who can kill Huaxiong." So, Pan Feng appeared on the stage, he clenched his fists silently, and his confident eyes revealed his strength.
Yuan Shao immediately ordered an attack, but soon after, another soldier came on horseback: "Pan Feng was beheaded by Hua Xiong again!.""This episode really makes people laugh and cry. A confident general, without saying a word, was killed by Hua Xiong in silence, which was simply a comic ending. watched Pan Feng's performance in the old version of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" TV series, he seemed too serious and confident, but the final result made people laugh and cry. Therefore, I can't help but ask: "Big brother, are you here to be funny?".”
In fact, the existence of Pan Feng is not recorded in the official history of the Three Kingdoms, the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, and the Zizhi Tongjian. But through the portrayal of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", as well as the processing of various literary works and film and television dramas, the role of Pan Feng has become colorful. He became a character with the name of "General", although it is not recorded in the official history, but it has received wide attention in online literature and film and television. The richness of this folk image has made Pan Feng gradually become a highly anticipated supporting role. He vowed to counterattack and become the protagonist, as Professor Yi Zhongtian said: "Any historical event and historical figure has three images. Historical image, literary image and folk image. Although Pan Feng did not leave traces in the official history, the bar (Pan Feng Bar) established by netizens for him, the controversy between the historical research party and netizens, as well as the favor and adaptation of various TV series and anime, all added to Pan Feng's experience of learning rich and five cars and superb martial arts, shaping his loyal image, and even depicting the love between him and the beauty. These actions undoubtedly added a literary image and a folk image to Pan Feng. Perhaps, hundreds of thousands of years from now, what will Pan Feng's "historical" status be?After all, we are the history of tomorrow.
