为什么说关公雕塑像是忠义的化身呢

《三国演义》这本书一问世，关羽的影响力在民间越来越大，到了后期甚至被神话了。除了民间影响，历代朝廷对关羽也多有册封，导致关于彻底成为“忠义”的化身。那么为什么说关公雕塑是忠义的化身呢？

As soon as the book "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was published, Guan Yu's influence became more and more popular among the people. In the later stage, it was even mythologized. In addition to the influence of the people, the imperial courts of the past dynasties also conferred many titles on Guan Yu, which led to the question of thoroughly becoming the embodiment of "loyalty". So why is Guan Gong's sculpture the embodiment of loyalty?

关羽自“刘关张桃园三结义”之后，一生跟随刘备，忠义勇武、坚贞不二。关羽去世后，逐渐被神化，被民间尊为“关公”，又称美髯公，后又被尊崇为“武圣”，与“文圣”孔子齐名。

Guan Yu has followed Liu Bei all his life since "Liu Guan and Zhang Taoyuan became sworn brothers". He is loyal, brave and loyal. After his death, Guan Yu was gradually deified, and was honored as the "Duke of Guan", also known as the "Duke of Beauty" by the people. Later, he was honored as the "Saint of Martial Arts", and was as famous as the "Saint of Literature" Confucius.

而我们熟悉的小说《三国演义》本就有“尊刘贬曹”的色彩，所以《三国演义》为表现关羽的忠义勇武也丝毫不吝啬笔墨，并尊关羽为蜀国“五虎上将”之首。

The novel "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which we are familiar with, has the color of "respecting Liu and belittling Cao", so "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" shows Guan Yu's loyalty and bravery, and respects Guan Yu as the head of the "Five Tiger Generals" in Shu.

此外，清初文学批评家毛宗岗版的《三国演义》中“尊刘贬曹”的色彩就更明显了，毛宗岗更是称关羽为“演义三绝”之“义绝”。

In addition, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms published by Mao Zonggang, a literary critic in the early Qing Dynasty, the color of "respecting Liu and belittling Cao" is more obvious.

久而久之，关羽忠义勇武的形象就深入人心了，生意人因此认为关羽最讲义气，所以取“和气生财”之意将关公像摆放在店里或家里。

Over time, Guan Yu's image of loyalty and bravery became deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Therefore, businessmen believed that Guan Yu was the most loyal, so they put the image of Guan Yu in the store or home with the meaning of "harmony makes money".
