Although historical records record that Zhang Fei was from Youzhou, which is now Zhuozhou, Baoding City, Hebei Province, the scope of Zhuojun at that time was very wide, including Gu An, Fanyang and other places. So which of these seven counties is Zhang Fei's ancestral home?
You can tell something from Zhang Fei’s title. Zhang Fei was granted the title of Marquis of Xixiang. Some people say that Xixiang refers to the place name and is the hometown of Zhang Fei. It was a city in Zhuojun, located in Xixiang, about 20 miles west of what is now Zhuozhou, Hebei. It is the hometown of Zhang Fei.
And this place is now a town in Fangshan District, Beijing, and there happens to be a ruins there. Archaeologists called it Xixiang Ancient Town after research. There is another piece of evidence: this is Zhang Fei’s hometown. When Liu Bei made Zhang Fei the Marquis of Xixiang, Xixiang was not the territory of Shu, but the territory of Cao Wei. Therefore, if Xixiang was not Zhang Fei's hometown, Liu Bei would not have named Zhang Fei in another country.
Of course, there is also a theory that Zhang Fei is from Fanyang, because in Fanyang, southwest of what is now Zhuozhou, there is a Zhang Fei shop, which is said to be the location of Zhang Fei's former residence, and a pottery village, which is said to be the The place where the three brothers in Taoyuan became sworn brothers. However, this statement is not supported by any evidence. It is mostly speculation by later generations and cannot be trusted.
Judging from the above, Zhang Fei’s hometown should be Xixiang, which is now Changgou Town, Fangshan District, Beijing.
What is Zhang Fei’s Facebook?
In the song "Singing Facebook", "The blue-faced Dou Erdun steals the royal horse, the red-faced Guan Gong fights in Changsha, the yellow-faced Dian Wei has a white face, and the black-faced Zhang Fei tweeted" You can know that Zhang Fei's Facebook It's black. Black suits Zhang Fei’s character very well. Zhang Fei’s face is very recognizable, with a “black cross gate butterfly face”.
Zhang Fei's Facebook
Some people may wonder why Zhang Fei has butterflies. Is it inconsistent with his image in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? When people think of butterflies, they think of the way they fly in the sky. They borrow butterflies to fly, which symbolizes the word "fly" in Zhang Fei's name.
In addition, Zhang Fei's face shows the characteristics of "leopard head and ring eyes" to symbolize Zhang Fei's bravery and good fighting skills. Zhang Fei's face is full of smiles and anger, which shows that Zhang Fei is an informal person with a true temperament. Regarding the combination of laughter and anger in Zhang Fei's "Facebook", relevant experts gave the answer.
Like people, Facebook has an appearance. When a person smiles, the eyebrows and eyes are slightly drooped, the corners of the mouth are slightly raised, and the cheekbones on the person's face are high. When creating Zhang Fei's face, I focused on this feature. If you look closely at Zhang Fei's face, you can see that his eyes, eyebrows, and corners of his mouth are all smiling. But in order to express Zhang Fei's angry characteristics, the distance between Zhang Fei's eyebrows was narrowed and his eyebrows were knitted together to highlight Zhang Fei's other look. When designing Zhang Fei’s Facebook, Zhang Fei’s personality traits will be integrated into it. Zhang Fei in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is brave and heroic. He doesn't have much ingenuity, but he has a true temperament. His joy and anger are often shown on his face.
The story of Zhang Fei throwing chicken feathers
Today I will tell the story of Zhang Fei throwing chicken feathers. He was Zhang Fei's military strategist during the Three Kingdoms period. At that time, Zhang Fei was a hero and very arrogant. Zhang Fei looked down upon scholars like Zhuge Liang. He felt that this kind of scholar only had one mouth. Compared with the people who fought with our army, he naturally couldn't take advantage of me.

Zhang Fei looked down on Zhuge Liang very much and said to Liu Bei many times that he was better than Zhuge Liang. Liu Bei loved talents and admired Zhuge Liang's talents very much. Tell Liu Bei and Zhang Fei that you can compete with Zhuge Liang to see who is more powerful. So Zhang Fei invited Zhuge Liang to compete, and Zhuge Liang easily agreed. Zhang Fei decided to compete with Zhuge Liang to see who had the greatest power.
At this time Zhuge Liang told Zhang Fei: "I am famous for my strength. Compared with you, I feel a little sorry for you. Well, I will give you a step first. You throw chicken feathers, I throw stones. This pair It's good for you too. Even if I win against you, I will win with peace of mind." Zhang Fei happily agreed, thinking to himself, I will definitely win against you. You still get carried away all day long.
So the game started. Zhuge Liang threw the stone first. He threw it leisurely and did not throw it a few steps away. Zhang Fei was happy when he saw it. He polished his fists and wiped the floor. He tried his best to feed the baby and threw chicken feathers all over the floor. But the chicken feather slowly floated for a few times and finally landed at his feet.
In this way, Zhuge Liang won easily. Later generations used the story of Zhang Fei throwing a chicken feather to describe it as even more difficult.
