Was the Zhang Fei in history the same as the Zhang Fei in the novel?

Answer 1

Zhang Fei was an important figure in Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period. He was brave and good at fighting, straightforward and liked to fight against injustice. There were also many historical documents and literary works that described Zhang Fei's image and stories.

However, because historical documents and literary records may have distortions and fictional records, it is difficult to determine whether Zhang Fei's true image in history is exactly the same as the image in the novel. Some literary works might have some artistic creation and processing of Zhang Fei's image to make it more in line with the author's wishes.

Although Zhang Fei's image in history is different from that in novels, he is one of the famous heroes in Chinese literature and culture, with a wide and far-reaching influence.
