The Three Who Didn't Exist Why are the names of the three people who didn't exist in history so widely circulated?
China is an ancient civilization with a history of more than 5,000 years, and the Chinese people have created countless immortal legends. The people of this land have created countless immortal legends. There have been heroes and heroes in history, and their names have been honorably recorded in history.
In fact, the names of many historical figures and stories recorded in history books are in my hometown. "Huli dry red, silk trade cloth"This old proverb has long been unverifiable because its author is so far away from us.
In the same way, the names of many historical figures have been blurred by the brushes of the years, written into the classics, and put on the stage, pinning the thoughts of future generations. Over time, these fictional characters, glorified by historians, gradually came to be accepted.
The names of these characters, passed down from generation to generation, word of mouth, are household names, and give people a sense of connoisseurship, but is history really like this?Not really.
Closed moon shy flowers. The first beauty in ancient China"Sinking fish, falling geese, closing the moon, shy flowers"Naturally, these four images refer to the four beauties of a generation, and the most talked about of them is"Closed moon sable"of the gesture.
In ** "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Diao Chan is willing to dedicate himself to Dong Zhuo in order to repay his adopted son Wang Yun's nurturing kindness. The latter skillfully used a series of conspiracies and tricks to pit Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo against each other, and finally used Lu Bu's hand to get rid of the traitor Dong Zhuo, and the image of Diao Chan was widely circulated among the people.
In fact, Diao Chan first appeared in the Yuan Dynasty's "Three Kingdoms Zhiping Words", in which the author gave Diao Chan the task of using beauties to separate Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu. There is no direct evidence that Diao Chan has a historical prototype.
In "Tales of the Three Kingdoms", Diao Chan is called"The concubine's surname is Ren, and her nickname is Diao Chan", which shows that in the story created by Yuan, Diao Chan's original surname was born"Ren"。Yuan's later work, Serial Scheme, also adopted this story and fictionalized it as Ren Ang's daughter, who was called because she managed Diao Chan's crown and hat in the imperial court"Diao"。
In the Ming Dynasty** "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Diao Chan's life experience was further beautified, and Luo Guanzhong compiled Diao Chan as the adopted daughter of Situ Wang Yun, without a surname, in order to highlight the contradictions and create dramatic effects.
The official history "Book of the Later Han" records:"Zhu Di was unhappy because of his special relationship with Fu Nu"。Dong Zhuo did not approve of Lu Bu's adultery with his maid in the pavilion, and finally turned to the end of the world with a sword, often stepping on iron shoes and finding nowhere to go.
The maid in the story is the fuse of the conflict between the two and plays an important role in the whole story. Before this incident, Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu had a deep contradiction, but after this incident, Wang Yun took the opportunity to provoke Lu Bu, thus unraveling the relationship between the two. In the end, Lü Bu killed Dong Zhuo at his instigation.
The maid who played a decisive role in the story never appears again, and it is rumored that she was Lu Bu's concubine. Folklore also says that after Lu Bu died in the White Gate Tower, Cao Cao Diao Chan brought her back to Xuchang and became a maid in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
When Guan Yu was living in Cao Ying, Cao Cao gave him ten beauties, including Diao Chan, in order to win him over. When Guan Yu knew that Diao Chan was also among them, he marveled at Diao Chan's courage and cut off relations with her. Guan Yu and Diao Chan both knew that the other party was trying to protect their reputation and personality, so they both remained silent.
After the two returned to the room, Diao Chan was hanged on the beam of the house, and the matter was passed on by word of mouth by later generations"Guan Yu slashed the sable cicada under the moon"Dramatic allusions.
Regarding the record of Diao Chan, there is no mention of this person in the history books, and her historical prototype is also very vague, not only the date of birth and death is unknown, but even her name is unknown.
People only know that there is indeed such a woman in history, she manages the crown hat in the Han Palace, her courtesan identity and her story are inseparable from Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, and Wang Yun, who left a sinister figure in the era of swords and swords.
The beauty of the Sagittarius belt.
Sun Shangxiang is the most important female character in the Wu Shu forces in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but it is not recorded in detail in the official history. In 221 AD, Liu Bei conquered Yizhou as Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty, and Sun Shangxiang's sister Sun Quan was Liu Bei's queen or harem concubine, which is not recorded in historical materials.
There is a Peking Opera "Ganlu Temple"."Sun Shangxiang"In the official history, Empress Wu is Sun Quan's younger sister. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms called Sun Shangxiang"Just like his brother", showing that Sun Shangxiang's brave and resourceful character traits are the same as her elder brothers Sun Ce and Sun Quan.
Chen Shou also wrote that Sun Shangxiang liked swords and **, and his 100 servants all carried **. In the folk tales and dramas of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei and Sun Shangxiang were politically connected, but extremely close.
Official history does not tell the truth. Because Liu Bei and Sun Shangxiang's marriage is a political marriage, the age gap between the two is large, and their married life is not happy. The Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms even records that Liu Bei was afraid of Mrs. Sun and called her"Elbow and armpit troubles"。
According to some historical records, because the Sun family was born in a family, pampered since childhood, pampered and unreasonable, and did not respect the law and discipline, Liu Bei built a small city away from him During the drowning period, every time he visited Liu Bei, he maintained a confrontation with politicians, nominally a husband and wife, but in fact there was no husband and wife.
In 214 A.D., Liu Bei accepted the beauty of Wu Yi in Yizhou as the main room, and Liu Bei and the Sun couple basically existed in name only. Luo Guanzhong wrote a poignant ending for Sun in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" - the two families were separated in the Battle of Yiling, and the exhausted Sun committed suicide by throwing himself into the river because he did not want to see his husband fighting his brother.
In fact, Sun's record in the official history has long been limited to the period of Liu Bei's conquest of Yizhou. Historians can sum up her life in a few words. As for the ending, the official history does not give a conclusion, which cannot but be said to be a kind of sadness. The charm of history lies not in the black and white records, but in the unresolved free imagination.
Battlefield ghosts. Mulan, the first woman in history to be introduced to Chinese children, is also known as:"The most famous heroine in Chinese history"。The story of Mulan joining the army for her father is not only a household name in China, but with the spread of Chinese culture around the world in recent years, she has become a role model for women around the world.
However, the story of Mulan is only a legend that has been passed down for thousands of years, and there is no evidence that Mulan herself is the prototype. The earliest record of the name Mulan comes from the Northern Dynasty folk poem "Mulan Ci", and any literary work that has been passed down through the ages must have a deep historical foundation.
In the story, Mulan lives in a peasant family, and in order to serve in the army instead of her elderly father, she decided to disguise herself as a ** and join the army for her father.
In the following decades, Mulan crossed mountains and mountains, conquered the east and the west, and was finally appreciated by the emperor for her outstanding military achievements. After the triumphant return, it became known that the brave warrior was a woman.
The Northern Wei Dynasty was a nomadic regime between the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the Xianbei people had a strong martial tradition, so it is certain that Mulan lived during the war period of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
During this period, both men and women were trained in archery and horseback riding by their parents, so it is likely that Mulan was a heroic figure that the author drew from the folklore of the time.
The openness and inclusiveness of the Tang Dynasty promoted the integration and unification of multiple ethnic groups, and the Tang Dynasty developed and enriched the story of Mulan, giving it to Mulan"Loyalty"、"Serve the country"、"Filial piety"'s character, making her a female representative of the ** period.
Even after being beautified by later generations, Mulan's image became more and more refined, and for hundreds of years, she became a representative of Chinese women, and her influence gradually penetrated the consciousness of Chinese culture. Ming and Qing dynasties,"**"The literary system gradually matured, and people rearranged Mulan's story.
The story of Mulan joining the army and serving for her father has evolved from an ordinary folk song to one of China's greatest fairy tales, and the image of Mulan can occasionally be seen in some statues and paintings. With the passage of time, by the end of the Qing Dynasty, some overseas students brought related literary works abroad, and Mulan's image of loyalty, filial piety and courage gradually appeared on the world stage.
With the development of science and technology, Mulan's story has also been brought to the screen and recognized by the world. Directly speaking, Mulan not only represents a kind of person, but also becomes a symbol of female culture, shining more brightly than men on the stage of world history.
