Foreword
Dou E's injustice, a well-known story, is not only a classic of traditional Chinese opera, but also deeply loved by people because of its profound tragic color. However, when we delve into the historical truth behind it, we find that this story actually hides many secrets.
1: The background of the creation of "Dou E's Injustice".
"Dou E's Injustice" is not a real history, but a masterpiece of Guan Hanqing's miscellaneous drama in the Yuan Dynasty, based on the folk tale of "Filial Piety in the East China Sea". This work was created after 1291, mainly based on Dou E's father's final "clean government visitor", and the creation time of this play is inferred according to the setting of the Yuan Dynasty Prosecutor.
2: The true history of "Dou E's Injustice".
The story of Dou E's injustice originated in the Yuan Dynasty and tells the story of a young girl named Dou E who suffered an injustice because of her grievances. However, the real Dou E in history does not fully match the image in the opera.
According to historical records, Dou E was not born poor, but was born into a relatively wealthy family. Her father, Dou Tianzhang, was a literati who read poetry and books, while her mother was a virtuous and virtuous housewife. Dou E, who grew up in such a family environment, naturally received a good education.
In the opera, Dou E was sentenced to death for being falsely accused of having an affair with the son of Granny Cai's family. However, this is not the case with real history. According to historical records, Dou E was framed for having an affair with the son of a wealthy local family and was sentenced. However, in the social background at that time, wealthy families often resorted to some improper means to suppress their opponents in order to protect their own interests. Therefore, Dou E's grievances are likely to be committed by these wealthy families.
Dou E's grievances were eventually revealed, thanks to her father, Dou Tianzhang, who retried the case after becoming famous in the imperial examinations, and finally redressed his daughter's grievances. This also proves that the real Dou E in history is not an isolated and weak woman, but a family with strong backing.
