I accidentally saw the news that Li Shaohong will invite Zhang Ziyi, Takeshi Kaneshiro, a few months ago. After another search, I found that although the play had not been started, Li Shaohong was already choosing the scene, saying that "Guan Gong will be arranged to have a vigorous love, Zhang Ziyi will play Guan Gong’s lover, and finally Guan Gong will fail in Maicheng for his beloved." Guan Yu’s love has been described in detail in "The Romance of Guan Yu" and Zhang Fei’s exchange of killing his wife and children ",but Guan Yu’s" Dragon Crescent Moon Blade "has aroused endless interest. Is this such a magical knife that people will never forget it and mention it again and again? Is there really such a knife in history?
Guan Yu, a warrior, is a man whose righteous word is regarded as heaven. In the description of the later world, Qinglong Crescent Moon Knife is almost accompanied by Guan Sheng, and it can be that people and knives are completely integrated, and knives have become an indispensable image spokesperson for Guan Yu.

In the game "True Three Kingdoms", Guan Yu holds the image of Qinglong Crescent Moon Blade.
According to legend, the first blacksmith in the world only chooses the full moon night to build the dragon crescent moon blade. When it was almost finished, there was a sudden surge of wind and clouds, dropping 1780 drops of blood from the air. The local warlock analyzed that it was the blood of Qinglong. Therefore, with the name of "Qinglong Crescent Moon Knife", Qinglong Crescent Moon Knife is said to kill 1780 people.
In the novel, the description of the dragon crescent moon blade is even more extreme. For example, in the first time of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it was said that Liu Guanzhang got a thousand pounds of wrought iron, Guan Yu built a dragon crescent moon blade, and the dragon crescent moon blade also had a strange name "Leng Yan Saw". In the third battle of Hulao Pass, Lu Bu said in a poem: "The battle was not divided into victory and defeat, and Guan Yunchang was annoyed before the battle; Qinglong Baodao can be frosty and snowy, and the parrot shirt flies butterflies. " Qinglong crescent moon blade and red hare became Guan Yu’s identification mark together. When the Qiang soldiers were defeated in the snow, a passage was arranged: "I saw a big general in the clouds, with a face like a heavy jujube, an eyebrow like a silkworm, a green robe and a golden armor, a dragon knife, riding a red hare, and a beautiful beard." The plot was so vivid that Guan Yu’s mighty image was gradually deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Not only that, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms also designed many wonderful plots around the dragon crescent moon blade, such as: picking a robe with a knife, going to the meeting with a single knife, losing the knife and grabbing the knife, etc. It seems that the dragon crescent moon blade appeared in the novel for a longer time than Guan Yu.
Qinglong crescent moon blade is so superb. Is it really Guan Yu’s weapon? According to historical research, the dragon crescent moon blade used by Guan Yu, a famous soldier of the Three Kingdoms mentioned in novels and legends, did not exist at that time. The real dragon crescent moon blade was a weapon that only appeared in the Tang Dynasty. Guan Yu’s crescent moon blade, the name of which can be found in the Northern Song Dynasty’s Wu Jing Zong Yao, was a kind of weapon made by famous swordsmen at that time to stand out by being unconventional. This kind of knife is a heavy weapon, which will be used in daily martial arts practice, but it basically doesn’t need war. It is too bulky and doesn’t use flexible combat.
Gong Shenghe of Song Dynasty wrote in "Praise of Thirty-six People in Sung River": "Guan Sheng, the broadsword, is he a grandson? The clouds are long and brave, and you will be Kun! " It is said that the image of Guan Yu with a broadsword already exists, and after the shaping of Pinghua artists, the later image of Qinglong Yanyue was brewed. Later, Guan Sheng, the broadsword of Water Margin, was based on the image of Guan Yu. In the Story of the Three Kingdoms, Guan Yu also took part in the "Three British Wars against Lu Bu" with a knife: "On the third day, Lu Bu fought again, and the princes went out of the village to fight against Pinbu. Zhang Fei went out with a gun. Zhang Fei and Lu Bu fought twenty times, regardless of victory or defeat. Guan Yu was furious, so he rode his horse and turned his knife, and two generals fought Lu Bu. The late Lord couldn’t bear it, so he fought Lu Bu with two swords and rode three times, and he was defeated and went to Hulao Pass in the northwest. "
In fact, whether Guan Yu fought with a knife has always been a question. The "History of the Three Kingdoms" said: "Cao Gong made Zhang Liao and Guan Yu pioneers, and Yu saw Liang Huigai, and rode his horse to stab him in the crowd and beheaded him." One of Chen Shou’s "thorns" makes people have many questions. If it is a knife, it should be "chopping" and "chopping".
At the end of the Han Dynasty, although there were fighters riding horses with knives, they all used a short weapon-the ring-headed knife. Fighting on the battlefield, the "ring head knife", a short weapon with single blade and thick back, has great structural advantages. During the Three Kingdoms period, the armies of various countries produced a large number of ring-head knives, and used steel production technologies such as steel frying, steelmaking and quenching since the Han Dynasty. According to the biography of Taiping Yu Lan Pu Yuan, Zhuge Liang ordered the artificial knife "Pu Yuan" in the Three Kingdoms period, and Pu Yuan started construction in the oblique valley. In order to make a good knife, he specially designated to use the river water of Shu River as the blade quenching, and the 3,000-mouth knife made was very excellent, so it was called "magic knife". Tao Hongjing, Liang of the Southern Dynasties, described in the Record of Sword that Sun Quan made ten swords and ten thousand swords in Huang Wu in five years (226 years). From this, it can be seen that the sword has become a weapon for enjoyment at this time, while the sword is a weapon for foot soldiers to actually fight, so one achievement is counted as ten thousand. If Guan Yu used a knife, it should be such a short weapon.
So why do future generations have to put a dragon crescent moon blade in Guan Yu? Dr. Yang Ziran from Peking University said: "In the Qing Dynasty, it was a 26-word title to be awarded to a Guan Dijun, so it is generally believed that a great warrior must have a weapon to weigh his hand, right?" Therefore, it may be because the shape of the dragon crescent moon blade looks very overbearing. With some legends in history, it may also have a more significant effect on the stars. Therefore, I think it should be from the Qing Dynasty that Guan Yu became a customization with this dragon crescent moon blade. " In this way, the reason why later generations specially equipped Guan Gong with a dragon crescent moon blade that transcends time and space is to shape Guan Gong’s mighty image. The image of Guan Yu, who was named as a warrior, is indeed "Gao Daquan" in the eyes of future generations. It is not difficult to understand that people have deliberately figured out the saying "Dragon Crescent Moon Knife" in order to express their reverence for Guan Yu.
