In some classical novels and literary works, many legendary characters were fictionalized in ancient society. These characters are not real, but they are household names.
1. Wang Baochuan, who has been guarding the cold kiln for 18 years
Wang Baochuan, who has been guarding the cold kiln for 18 years, finally waited for her husband to change his mind, and passed away after only 18 days of good life, which is a tragic love story.
In the eyes of the world, Wang Baochuan, who describes women as neither humble nor arrogant, dares to hunt down love, and shows the truth, kindness and beauty of traditional women, is a very characteristic strange woman. mentioned "Xue Pinggui and Wang Baochuan", and then compared Xue Rengui and Liu Yinhuan, one Xue Rengui and the other Xue Pinggui on the Peking Opera stage, "two Xue coexist", but they are safe.
However, Xue Rengui has his own person, he is a famous general in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, and his wife "Liu" is also a real person. But Xue Pinggui and Wang Baochuan are different, Xue Pinggui's source is: a wealthy family in Shanxi celebrated his mother's birthday in a certain year, invited the church, and performed "Fenhe Bay" and other plays. His mother learned that Xue Liu and the others had a tragic ending and became depressed. Fuzi offered a huge reward to solicit the script of Xue Rengui's husband and wife's reunion.
2. The four great beauties of ancient times
The four beauties of ancient China are "Sinking Fish, Falling Geese, Closed Moon, and Shy Flowers", and the representative figures are Xi Shi, Wang Zhaojun, Diao Chan and Yang Yuhuan. However, there is one contradiction, the other three are real, but Diao Chan is a fictional beauty character in the romance novel.
The Diao Chan in the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was only added by the novelist in order to add color, and there is no record in the official history. Relatively speaking, "Big Qiao and Little Qiao" are all true, Diao Chan is such an important character, and is also known as the four beauties of ancient China, but it turns out to be fictional. I feel speechless, but this character really doesn't exist!
The original text of the official history "Romance of the Three Kingdoms": Zhuo Chang made Bu Shou Zhong, and Bu had an affair with Zhuo's maidservants, fearing that something would be discovered, and he was not at ease. The prototype character of this maid should be Diao Chan, but there is no mention of who looks good or not.
3. The Tang Dynasty female general Fan Lihua
Fan Lihua, the wife of Xue Dingshan, the king of Liao, is a female general of the Tang Dynasty who is an all-round civil and military talent, and a heroine. The characters are shown in many film and television dramas, movies, song and dance dramas, and they are widely used in folk Taoist temples to worship the gods to this day, which is simply the same as the real thing, but there is really no such person in history.
Fan Lihua in the novels "Xue Dingshan Expedition to the West" and "Xue Gang's Anti-Tang Dynasty" are also fictional characters. There is such a phenomenon in the historical novels of the Ming and Qing dynasties, many histories and heroic legends are collected from folk oral legends, and the scriptures are created and processed as desk readings, and then they are used as scripts for reference by the majority of rap artists in the market, which are passed down orally and passed down from generation to generation.
Not only does Fan Lihua not exist, but her husband "Xue Dingshan" is also fake. Xue Rengui had five sons, Xue Ne, Xue Shenfu, Xue Chuqing, Xue Chuzhen and Xue Chuyu. (Xue Ne has repeatedly defeated the Turks and Tibet, and he is the prototype figure who came to Xue Dingshan.) And Xue Ne's wife has not been mentioned in the history books, let alone Fan Lihua)
4. Mu Guiying, the female general of the Yang family
When it comes to Mu Guiying, everyone will think of many film and television dramas such as Yang Men Female General, Yang Jiajiang and so on. In history, the Yang family does exist, but Mu Guiying is a fictional female heroine. She is a character in the novels "The Romance of the Yang Family" and "The Romance of the Yang Family", because her stories are widely circulated among the people, and later she became a well-known heroine.
Mu Guiying was originally the daughter of Mu Yu of Mu Kezhai, and legend has it that Li Shan's old mother taught her the art of arrows and flying knives. Because he fought with Yang Zongbao before the battle and captured him alive, he became a relative to him and belonged to the Yang family. Not only Mu Guiying, but even Yang Zongbao is also a fictional character, and the Great Breaking Heaven Gate Array is even more chaotic...
5. Hua Mulan, who served in the army on behalf of her father
Hua Mulan and Mu Guiying, Fan Lihua, and Liang Hongyu are known as the four heroines, except for Liang Hongyu, who is a famous general of the Southern Song Dynasty, the other three are fictional. Mulan first appeared in a narrative poem "Mulan Ci" during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and she also learned this text when she was in school.
Mulan's surname, place of origin, etc., are not recorded in the history books.
In ancient texts, there is no conclusive direct evidence of Mulan's own existence. But Mulan's story is widely spread in China, and her heroic deeds in the army on behalf of her father are seen as a symbol of bravery, filial piety and tenacity.
6. Meng Jiangnu who cried down the Great Wall
"Meng Jiangnu Crying on the Great Wall" is one of the folk love legends and stories in the mainland, which is widely circulated in the mainland, and the prototype of the story can be traced back to the historical facts of "Qiliang's wife crying husband" in the Spring and Autumn Period. Qi Liang's wife was the wife of Qi Liang, a doctor of Qi during the Spring and Autumn Period, who, after her husband died in battle, went to the suburbs to greet her husband's coffin, and wept with extreme grief, causing the city wall to collapse.
This story later evolved into the legend of Meng Jiangnu crying on the Great Wall. Although the story of Meng Jiangnu is widely circulated in China and is regarded as one of the four great love legends of ancient China, it is actually a folklore rather than one based on real historical events.
7. Qin Shaoyou's wife Su Xiaomei
Qin Shaoyou's wife, Su Shi's sister "Su Xiaomei", the existence of this character in history has always been controversial. Although Su Xiaomei is portrayed as Su Shi's younger sister and talented in folklore, literature, and some film and television works, according to the available historical information, Su Shi does not have a sister named Su Xiaomei.
And according to historical records, Su Shi only has one sister Su Bazhuo. As for Su Xiaomei, it originated from Wu Changling's miscellaneous drama "Dongpo Dream" in the Yuan Dynasty, Feng Menglong's "Xingshi Hengyan" in the Ming Dynasty, and Li Yu's legendary "Meishan Show" in the Qing Dynasty.
