Red hare
"Lyu3 bu4 among people, red rabbit among horses", red rabbit horse has always been the representative of a good horse. There is a record about red rabbit horse in the "Three Kingdoms", but why it is called red rabbit horse is not said. So later generations think that "red" refers to its coat color, and "rabbit" runs as fast as a rabbit. Actually, this is a misunderstanding.
Since ancient times, people have endowed various animals with certain spirits and personalities. Rabbits are a symbol of cowardice and weakness in people's minds. Although it runs fast, its running is always related to running away. It can be said that rabbits are not heroes at all. Using rabbits as a metaphor for a good horse is detrimental to its image. Although rabbits run fast, they can't compare with horses in terms of speed. Not to mention a good horse, even an ordinary horse is much faster than a rabbit. So, what does the red rabbit's "rabbit" mean?
I had a monograph on horses, Xiang Ma Jing, a long time ago, which is said to be Bole's work. "Xiangma", as its name implies, is to look at horses. The first step in flattery is to look at the horse's head, because the head is the most obvious external expression of the horse's breed, quality, physical fitness and teeth. According to the shape of the horse's head, the ancients vividly divided the horse into straight head, rabbit head, concave head, wedge head and half rabbit head. The so-called "rabbit" of the red rabbit horse should refer to the head shape of the horse. A handwritten word "Xiang" was found in the silk book unearthed from the No.3 Han Tomb in Mawangdui, Changsha. One of them said, "You can get these four things from rabbits and foxes, birds and fish, but the others can't." The third chapter explains these words, "If you want the rabbit's head and shoulders, the fox's grass and ears, the bird's eyes and neck, the fish's fins and ridges". These records show that rabbit head is an important external standard of a good horse in ancient times, and it is not easy to get a good horse with rabbit head.
Rabbit-headed and half-rabbit-headed horses are characterized by a slightly protruding upper part of the nose, some of which are like rabbit heads. Judging from the physique of modern horses, rabbit-headed horses are mostly heavy horses, which are characterized by strong body and great strength, and are also the highest breed among horses. Judging from the color of red hare, it is jujube red, usually called red. This color is the typical coat color of Central Asian grassland horses. Judging from the color of the red rabbit, this is a horse from Central Asia, that is, the ancient western regions. Horses in the Central Plains of China belong to Mongolian horses. Mongolian horses have the advantages of fast speed and fatigue resistance, but they are small in size and limited in physical strength, so many good horses have been born in the West.
"Red Rabbit Horse" is a red horse with a rabbit head, not a red horse that runs as fast as a rabbit.
"Pentium thousands of miles of dust, crossing the water to climb mountains and purple fog. Break the silk and shake the jade bridle, and make a dragon for nine days. "
This red hare is charcoal red with no hair except a white "moon bud" on his forehead. It is said that as long as the rider goes
Shoot here and it will run like a fly. It's really a good pony that travels thousands of miles every day and 800 miles at night.
It has four owners in its life. Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao just regarded him as the object of buying people's hearts. As for Lu Bu, he is like a vassal.
For prostitutes, as long as there is a war, they will use it to take the lead, and they will be left aside when they have time, but the professionalism of Red Rabbit is
It is still very high, and there has been no complaint. When I went to Xiapi to attack the city, someone took it away and let me get rid of it completely, but it didn't.
Because I am fed up with the feeling of being left out as a sacred object by the laity.
Finally, in Xuchang, he met a man who could drive his life. He is Guan Yu. Guan Yu is not riding for the first time.
What's the special feeling? Later, it saw Guan Yu and said, "I know this horse travels thousands of miles every day, and now I am lucky to get it." If I know where my brother is, I can go in one day. "
Come and see me. "What a gentleman, aboveboard. Lu Bu was tempted when he saw the red hare, but in order to get the red hare, he killed his adoptive father. identical
As a military commander, Guan Yu certainly likes horses, but his purpose is Old Master Q. This man is really loyal to his liver and righteous courage!
Finally, Red Rabbit began to look forward to his glory!
White horse, the hoofprint of inscriptions on bronze, the shadow of Wuguan and the Yellow River ferry, the cry of Changsha, the Pentium of Fancheng!
"Lyu3 bu4 in the crowd, red rabbit in the horse pile" is just the juxtaposition of two forces with equal strength in their respective fields. Different personalities and people (
Plaid is not suitable after all. Red rabbit would rather live without Qinglong crescent moon blade.
However, the owner encountered the dilemma of "going to Maicheng", and Red Rabbit was determined to advance and retreat with the owner.
The city ran out of food and grass and didn't eat for three days, but it was determined to carry its master out of danger, even if rolling in the deep.
Deep, that's it. Under such circumstances, Red Rabbit took a generation of famous soldiers to the Lin Ju Trail at night.
Legend has it that Pan Zhang took 500 men to ambush. He estimated that it was difficult for his own people to catch Guan Yu, who was "ten thousand enemies", so he let him be in the weeds in advance.
Prepare seven chains to trip the horse, but also afraid of the red rabbit horse, recognize the chains, dye the first six chains the same color as grass to confuse it.
. But the last line was not dyed because there was not enough dye. He thinks six lines is enough.
Red hare came to Guan Yu with a burden on his back. Wu Jun pulled up the first rope, and Red Rabbit easily crossed it. Wu Jun pulled up the second road, and Red Rabbit dodged again.
, jump three times, Pan Zhang has been scared pale, but red rabbit has not eaten for three days, is really tired, when the sixth line was pulled up.
By the time he came, Red Rabbit had reached the limit of being a horse, but he knew that this was the last hurdle. After this hurdle, his master could escape.
! So it let out a long sound, like dragons singing and tigers whistling, and its front hoof was raised, and it actually passed again! But when it just landed, it finally landed.
The undyed rope was tied, and the red rabbit wanted to exert more force, but at this moment, the reflection of the iron rope stung the red rabbit's eyes.
Eyes. The red rabbit feels very dizzy, but it knows that it will never fall. He stood up and tried to stand up, but there seemed to be thousands in the sky.
Your strength is pressing it, and there seem to be countless ropes pulling it down on the ground. God has not allowed it to rush again!
Red hare fell to the ground in grief, and a generation of famous soldiers were also punished!
(I remember watching a documentary before, which seems to be an interview with the hometown of the Three Kingdoms. Where Guan Yu was captured, there was an iron chain, but
Until the Cultural Revolution, it was still radiant. Locals say this is the rope that tripped the red hare. But after being photographed by a tourist, iron
The cable began to rust. )
After Guan Yu died, Red Rabbit went on a hunger strike and starved to death.
Because it is sad and angry, he is going to blame God for not letting it go up again! I miss his master Guan Yu, so I want to chase him.
Let him go! Because it has no hope, it knows that no one in the world is worth galloping!
Red rabbit and black vertebra, although you were born a horse, you have a shameful heart.
