Anecdotes and allusions
The Ever-Victorious General
Zhao Yun is widely known as the Ever-Victorious General among the people. It has been circulated that the earliest origin is difficult to verify. Some scholars in the Ming and Qing Dynasties mentioned it in their private works, but they did not directly say the four words "victorious general", but used words such as "Have experienced hundreds of battles without losing." ", "invincible general" and so on.
In the storytelling "Xing Tang Zhuan" published by China Quyi Publishing House in 1984, Luo Cheng was compared to the ever-victorious general Zhao Zilong.
In the 2008 movie "The Dragon Disarms" directed by Li Rengang and starring Andy Lau, Zhao Yun was portrayed as a victorious general.

The Five Tiger Generals are widely circulated, but Professor Yi Zhongtian of Xiamen University put forward the theory of the Four Tiger Generals in the Baijia Forum column and expressed his displeasure for Zhao Yun.
When Chen Shou wrote "Three Kingdoms", he combined Guan, Zhang, Ma, Huang, and Zhao into one biography. Although these five people each had their own evaluations of bravery, they did not say that there were five tiger generals. ***The same evaluation is that they are all compared to "minions of the country".
