China News Service Client, Beijing, March 24th (Reporter Shangguan Yun) "Thirty years of fame and dust and soil, eight thousand miles of road cloud and moon." A magnificent "Man Jiang Hong" always reminds people of the famous Southern Song Dynasty generals Yue Fei.

  This year marks the 919th anniversary of Yue Fei's birth. It is said that his birthday is March 24.

Some people once thought that Yue Fei was a model of "loyalty and filial piety", and the core of Yue Fei's spirit was "serving the country with loyalty".

Some people also think that Yue Fei's calligraphy is also good.

  What is the real Yue Fei like?

Martial arts are strong and the army is strict

  Yue Fei was born in a very ordinary farm family, and his parents were friendly.

  In his youth, Yue Fei was simple and steady, and he didn't like to talk much.

In his spare time, he studied horsemanship and archery under his apprenticeship.

  It is said that since the age of 20, he has joined the army four times and participated in many battles.

Yue Fei loves nurses and guards the army strictly.

His son Yue Yun was at fault and was still severely punished.

  Everywhere he went, Yue Fei often led dozens of cavalry to patrol in person to check the enforcement of military discipline.

He is sympathetic to the people, and if there are situations such as trampling on farmland or obstructing agricultural affairs, he will deal with them in accordance with military law.

  Under the command of Yue Fei, the "Yue Family Army" has formed a very strong fighting force, "everyone can be one hundred".

He led the Yue Family Army and the Jin Army to fight bloody and invincible.

In this regard, Jin Bing lamented that "it is easy to shake the mountain, but difficult to shake the Yue family's army".

  It is reported that Yuejiaquan is a national intangible cultural heritage, summed up by Yue Fei in countless battles.

Previously, the Yue family in Huangmei County, Hubei Province unearthed the "Yuejia Boxing Method" when repairing their ancestral tombs, and later compiled it and named it "The Essentials of Yuewu Muwang Wuyi".

  There is also a saying that Yue Zhen, Yue Ting and others have sorted out the posthumous manuscripts of their father Yue Fei, which is called "Wu Mu Posthumous Notes" by later generations.

Hands-on scroll calligraphy is quite good

  In addition to being the champion of the three armies, Yue Fei is actually a "cultural man", he often keeps his hands on the books and is very eager to learn.

According to records, "the content of its center and the implementation of strategies are often found in the performance, inscription, and chant."

  For example, the well-known song "Red in the River": "Angry rushing to the crown, leaning on the railing, Xiaoxiaoyu resting. Looking up, looking up to the sky and screaming, with strong feelings." In a few words, it vividly expressed the pride.

  Another lyric work "Little Chongshan", although not as famous as "Man Jianghong", expresses Yue Fei's mood at that time with delicate brushstrokes, which is sincere and moving.

  In addition, some works are quite literary.

It is said that "Ti Poyang Longju Temple" was also written by Yue Fei. The verse in it, "The pool is cold and the moon is born, and the pine wind and the night bring autumn". The contrast is neat and the description is very vivid.

  There is a saying that his calligrapher is a good calligrapher who inherited the Soviet style, and he will study small-case by himself during the journey.

Frugal life, indifferent to fame and fortune

  In fact, Yue Fei usually lives a frugal life and is indifferent to fame and fortune. He is very strict in the education of his children, and encourages his sons to "self-reliance".

He is of high character and has always been respected by people.

  There are many stories about him among the people.

"Mother-in-law tattooing" is one of them. The general idea is that Yue Fei's mother-in-law used embroidery needles on Yue Fei's back to embroider the words "Serve the country with loyalty", hoping that he will always be committed to serving the country.

  However, according to the "Song History", Yue Fei has the words "serving the country with all his loyalty" on his back, which is deeply rooted in the skin.

Some people believe that these four characters gradually evolved into "serving the country with loyalty".

  Yue Fei is indeed very filial to his mother.

It is said that when his mother was sick, Yue Fei would taste the soup and medicine, and then bring it to his mother's bed, walking lightly, for fear of disturbing his mother's rest.

  In the blink of an eye, nearly a thousand years have passed. People commemorate Yue Fei in different ways and miss this famous general with both wisdom and courage.
