Why is Guan Yu's face red?
Whether watching the Romance of the Three Kingdoms or watching movies related to the Three Kingdoms, Guan Yu, a military commander, must be an indispensable role, and his big red face image is indelible. In fact, according to science, Guan Yu is really not born with a big red face. Because this is obvious, in the real society, even if a person's face is red, it is impossible to be as red as the big red face in romantic novels.

Compared with romance, I think Guan Yu's red face is a cultural image. His big red face is more about the visualization of people in the process of historical development. He represents the people's admiration for loyalty and courage.

Instead of myths and legends, it is said that Guan Yu's red face is covered with chicken blood and nosebleeds, nor is it said that Guan Yu is the reincarnation of the blood left by the Dragon King to save the people.

What's more, the dragon totem originally came from the broad masses of people and evolved through witchcraft culture and so on. Not to mention the reincarnation of the Dragon King, so it is impossible for Guanyin to enlighten Guan Yu and avoid chasing troops.

As we all know, whether it is the Spring Festival or a festive day, red is always the favorite color of China people, and it is a concrete representation of cultural image. Then it is not difficult to understand that we use red as the image "ambassador" of Guan Yu.

China culture is really imaginative and creative. Guan Yu's loyalty to the liver and righteousness evolved from Guan Yu's love of being attacked by officers and soldiers to his loyalty in Taoyuan, which is very surprising.

Furthermore, in China culture, red symbolizes resistance, integrity and justice, and represents the interests of the people, which precisely reflects the people's beautiful pursuit. Moreover, red is the true color of a hero and is synonymous with a hero, which just shows that Master Guan is a great loyal minister in his heart.

So simply from the perspective of cultural evolution, people have thought that red can ward off evil spirits and deter evil things since ancient times. It can be seen from the red clothes to be worn in the animal year that red is related to Buddhist culture. Of course, it can also be analyzed from Confucian culture. After all, Confucian culture has influenced the historical process of the Chinese nation and played an important role in its historical evolution.

The theory of "Five Virtues" in Confucian culture shows that red is a prosperous and auspicious color, and the Shuhan regime established by Liu Huangshu is more suitable for fire virtue. Liu Chan, his son, was once named Yan Xing, and Guan Yu was the founding father of Shu Han, so it makes sense to describe him as a red face.
