Guansuo

Guansuo

, is a fictional character in ancient Chinese folklore, from the story of Hua Guan Suo.

In the romance of the Three Kingdoms, Guan Yu's third son (Mao Ben) or his eldest son (Zhou Ben) came to baojiazhuang to recuperate after the fall of Jingzhou. After recovering from the injury, he heard that his enemy in the eastern Wu Dynasty had died, so he returned to the Shu Han Dynasty and accompanied Zhuge Liang on his southern expedition.

It is mentioned in the popular biography of the three kingdoms that Guan Yu fled for murder when Guan Suo was born. After Liu Bei occupied Jingzhou, Guan Suo came to Jingzhou to join his father. Later, Liu Bei conquered Yizhou and Guan Suo led his troops to guard Yunnan. Up to now, Guansuo opera is still popular in Yunnan.

The general picture shows the statue of Guansuo in the ancient city of Zhaohua.

As a figure in folklore, the age setting is full of loopholes, which is the main cause of the disorder of Guan's children (see the table below).

Related disputes

In Mao Zonggang's the romance of the Three Kingdoms, the appearance of Guansuo is abrupt. During the war of seventy-three return to Fancheng, Guan Yu's family was mentioned, saying that Guan Yu married a Jingzhou family and only had a son, Guan Xing, and a daughter, Guan Shi (adopted son, Guan Ping). But later, during Zhuge Liang's southern expedition, Guan Suo suddenly appeared and called him the third son of Guan Yu. After the fall of Jingzhou, he healed his wounds in the local area. This is a complete contradiction.

In the romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhou benzhong had the plot of seeking to recognize his father before the war of Fancheng. According to Guansuo. When he was three or four years old, his father fled for murder, and one of his brothers was taken away and adopted by councillor Hu. That is to say, Guan Suo was born at least 179 years ago. In fact, he should be older than Guan Ping and even older than Guan Xing. In this way, he is unlikely to be the so-called third son. This version was more influenced by the original version of Hua Guan Suo Zhuan, so that it gave up treatment completely on the issue of age.

Characters

Liu Guanzhang in Hua Guan Suo Zhuan killed each other's families in order to care about each other. When Zhang Fei destroyed Guan Yu's family, Guan Yu's wife Hu fled in disorder. Hu returned to his mother's home and gave birth to a son. When his son was seven years old, Guandeng was lost and found by the cable man. At the age of nine, he was accepted as a disciple by Mr. Hua Yue of banshidong. During this period, "he first taught Huang Gong three strategies, then learned Lu Wang's six Taos, and learned 18 kinds of martial arts.". When he was 18 years old, he missed his parents and went back to Suo's family to ask about his family background. He took the surnames of the three families as his name and named them "huaguansuo". In 202, he went to Xichuan with his mother to recognize his father (however, Guan Yu in historical facts should have been in Jingzhou at that time, and he had never been to Xichuan in History). On the way, he picked up two groups of strong men, defeated the soldiers of baojiazhuang and lutangzhai, and married Bao Sanniang, Wang Tao and Wang Yue. After Guan Suo married the daughter of Meng Huo, the king of Nanman, and Zhu Rong, the daughter of Zhu Rong.

Related place names

According to legend, Guansuo once went south with Zhuge Liang, leaving many legendary relics in Yunnan and Guizhou. For example, the name of Guanling County in Guizhou Province is named after guansuoling, a mountain range to the east of the county. There is also a cave on the top of the mountain in the southwest of the county. The local people call it Guansuo cave. It is said that it is the place where Guansuo recuperates when he is injured. There is a temple on the eastern half of guansuoling mountain, named Shuangquan temple. The original temple is used for the statue of Suo. There are two springs in the temple. It is said that one is carved by Guansuo's sword, so it is called "Dao Ba Quan". The other is carved by Guansuo's horses, which is called "Ma Pao Quan". About 67 kilometers to the west of the county seat, on the back mountain of what Xu Xiake called "beidoupu", there is a depression called "horse enclosure" by the common people. It is the place where Guan Suo's wife led women soldiers to keep horses. Up to now, there are still a lot of debris and bricks.

In addition, it is about 30 kilometers southwest of Malong County in Yunnan Province. On the mountain at the junction of the liangjiatian village committee in Malong and XUNDIAN Yilong, the highest point is daguansuoling (2138 meters above sea level), and the back of liangjiatian village in Yingdong is xiaoguansuoling. It was also named because Guan Suo, the general of Zhuge Liang's southern expedition to Shu, was stationed here during the Three Kingdoms period.

Set vulnerability

There are many legends about Guan Yu, especially the descendants of Guan Yu, but there are many problems in both age and background, which can be described as full of loopholes: < ol > < li > Guan Suo was adopted by Suo yuan, and later married Bao Sanniang, the daughter of Bao Yuan. In fact, the appellation of Yuanwai first appeared in the vernacular novels of yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties to refer to the gentry. During the Three Kingdoms period, there was no such habit of being called Yuanwai. In addition, the name format of "Niang" first appeared in Song Dynasty. In the historical materials of the Three Kingdoms, the Jin Dynasty, the southern and Northern Dynasties, the only similar names are those of the concubine and the concubine. There was no record of the "Niang" and "Nu" in the rotten street at that time. According to the biography of Hua Guansuo, when Guan Suo was 18 years old, he went to Xichuan with his mother to recognize his father. In fact, it should have been in Jingzhou 202. In addition, although the base camp of Shu Han was in Xichuan, Guan Yu had never been to Xichuan in history. According to the records of Jingzhou Prefecture and Jiangling County, when Sun Wu conquered Jingzhou, Guan Ping's wife fled from Jingzhou City with her eight year old son and lived in the countryside. It was not until the Western Jin Dynasty when Wu was defeated and the whole country was unified that he returned to Jingzhou City and restored the Guan surname. But the problem is that there is nearly 60 years between them. At this time, Guan Ping's wife should be 80 or 90 years old, and his son is 60 or 70 years old. According to the average life expectancy at that time, it is difficult to say whether he is alive or not. Most importantly, in fact, seven years after the battle of Fancheng, Wu and Shu had made friends again. And there are personnel exchanges with each other, and there is no need for Guan Yu's descendants to remain anonymous. < / Li > < li > the so-called "Taoyuan Jieyi" of Liu Guanzhang was also an original work after the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In the annals of the Three Kingdoms, there is no record of the three people's affiliation, let alone killing each other. < / Li > < li > there is no trace of such legends in the literature in the Jin, southern and Northern Dynasties and even in the Tang Dynasty. It was not until the Song Dynasty, especially in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, when Guan Yu was widely praised, that he suddenly appeared. It can be seen that this is related to the rise of Guan Yu's fame caused by his being canonized as the "emperor of Guan" and "martial saint", but completely ignoring the historical truth.

The descendants of Guan Yu were killed by Pang Hui, the son of pound, when the Han Dynasty died. Pang Hui followed Zhong Hui and Deng AI to attack Shu Han. Shu Han perished. In order to avenge his father, he "completely destroyed Guan's family." In Jingzhou, Guan Yu's descendants passed on from generation to generation. According to the records of Jingzhou Prefecture and Jiangling County in Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty, when Guan Ping was guarding Jingzhou with his father, he married Zhao Yun's daughter and had a son named Guan Yue. When Wu soldiers attacked Jingzhou, Guan Ping's wife fled from Jingzhou City with her eight year old son. She changed her surname and lived in the countryside. When Wu was defeated in the Western Jin Dynasty and the whole country was unified, she returned to Jingzhou City and restored her surname. She lived in Jingzhou for generations and made a family of guarding tombs. During the reign of Emperor Yongzheng in Qing Dynasty, Guan Yue's lineage was worshipped as Yangguan mausoleum. During the reign of Emperor Qianlong, he was worshipped as Guan temple in Jingzhou. He was granted the hereditary doctorate of five classics and was exempt from all kinds of miscellaneous duties. Although this record has not been found in historical books, according to the legend of the Guan family in Jingzhou, they are indeed the descendants of Guan Yu. Jingzhou should be the only hometown of Guan Yu's descendants.
