"The highest is not Guan Yu"
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms describes the height of the five tigers and generals, among which Ma Chao should be the tallest. According to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he is more than nine feet tall, which is equivalent to nearly 2 meters 1 now, almost the same as Yao Ming. Ma Chao is a half-breed, and it is understandable that he is of Ren Hu descent.
The second one is Guan Gong. He said he was nine feet tall and more than two meters tall. Now he is also a giant. The question is, was there really such a tall person at that time? And grow so tall, martial arts is still so good.
Five tigers and three generals, much higher than the people. It is said that Zhang Fei, a Yan man, is more than eight feet tall, so he may be close to 1.9 meters. One problem is that Zhang Fei is so tall and strong, and his weight is definitely the first of the five tigers.
The height of Huang Zhong is recorded to be 8 feet, but it is more than 8 feet anyway, so it is not short to approach 187 cm.
The shortest one should be Zhao Yun. I only know that he is eight feet long, so it is about 1.84 meters, which is quite different from the TV series.
"The most handsome is not Zhao Yun"
Many people will definitely think that Zhao Yun is the most handsome in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, because he is the most in line with modern aesthetics, young and handsome. However, during the Three Kingdoms period, Ma Chao was the most handsome among the five generals, and he was known as "Ma Jinchao". It is said that his appearance was second only to that of the beautiful male Lu Bu. After all, he is a half-blood, with the blood of the conference semifinals, and he is handsome.
The second is Guan Gong, who is called "Beard" and is tall and burly. In today's words, that is handsome.
The third is Zhao Yun, who is described as "the appearance is in harmony with the spirit", not the image of small fresh meat in the romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Fourth, it should be Huang Zhong. Although Huang Zhong was very old at that time, it can be seen from the description of his appearance that he should be very handsome when he was young.
The last one is Zhang Fei, brave, muscular and strong enough to be worthless.
What I have never understood is that ancient people were so poorly nourished that they could really grow so tall. Cao Cao is only 1.6 meters, but he is the best. So he is tall, simple-minded and well-developed in limbs. Modern cattle people are not tall, and tall people are good at fighting and playing ball.
