In history, are there really several heroines such as Mulan, Fan Lihua, Mu Guiying, and She Taijun? It is a pity to tell you that these four heroines, except for She Taijun, who really have their own people in history, the other three are fictional characters in literary and artistic works.
Let's first talk about Mulan, the heroine. Mulan is a character in the Northern Wei "Mulan Ci" in the ancient Southern and Northern Dynasties period of China, and we all recited Mulan Ci when we were in elementary school, right? Until now I can recite a few words:
Chirping and chirping, Mulan when weaving, do not hear the sound of the machine, only hear the female sigh, ask the woman what to think, ask the woman what she remembers?
It turned out that Mulan was doing a ideological struggle, Mulan had no brother above, and only a 10-year-old brother below.
Due to the invasion of northern Wei by Rouran, the imperial court conscripted troops, and a man from the family was sent to the side. Mulan has no older brother above, and younger brother below, so the elderly father has to go to the army.
Mulan wanted to join the army for her father, but there was no precedent for an ancient woman to become a soldier, so she had to dress up as a man to join the army. This "Mulan Ci" is written about mulan's process from the army to the army, and is a super long narrative poem.
It is worth mentioning that although Mulan is a fictional character, later, there have been several heroines similar to Mulan in history.
For example, Mulan in Yucheng County, Shangqiu County, Henan, Mulan in Bozhou, Anhui, Mulan in Huangpi, Hubei, and Mulan in Yan'an, Shaanxi, all four places have a common feature, that is, women dress up as men to join the army.
There is no doubt that these places are playing the Mulan celebrity card, and the purpose is to stimulate the local economy.
To sum up: a fictional character from "Mulan Ci" later created countless Mulan-style heroines.
Fan Lihua is one of the four heroes of ancient China, and she is also a fictional character in the novel.
The commentary says that she was the wife of the famous Tang Dynasty general Xue Dingshan, and also said that Xue Dingshan was Xue Rengui's son. Xue Dingshan is also a fictional character, who is based on Xue Rengui's son Xue Ne.
Xue Dingshan successively married Dou Xiantong, Chen Jinding, and Fan Lihua. The novel contest beckons relatives, three hughes and three please Fan Pear Blossom is the most classic.
The book says that Fan Lihua was the daughter of Fan Hong, the general of the Western Liang Hanjiang Pass, who had been a teacher since childhood, and had studied art for eight years to help his father guard the Hanjiang Pass, and later Xue Rengui Xue Dingshan's father and son led an army to conquer the west.
Xue Dingshan was a pioneer official, and he was invincible, but he was defeated at Hanjiang Pass under the hands of the female middle school Haojie Fan Lihua.
Fan Lihua fell in love with Xue Dingshan at first sight, the two did not fight and did not know each other and married, and the storyline after that was twisted and complicated, in general, did not jump out of the clichés of classical novels.
After Xue Dingshan's death, Fan Lihua served as the Grand Marshal of the Expedition to the West, and finally completed her husband's unfinished business, and she was awarded the title of Lady of yipin by the imperial court.
No matter how well the novel is described, Fan Lihua is always a character who comes out of the book. In the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, novelists reprocessed this character artistically, and the character image became more and more plump, which made people mistakenly think that Fan Lihua was a heroine of the Tang Dynasty.
Mu Guiying is a fictional character in the Ming Dynasty Xiong Damu novel Yang Jiajun, the daughter of Mu Kezhai Mu Yu and the wife of Yang Zongbao.
Legend has it that she was also a disciple of our Lady of Lishan, which means that she was in the same door as Fan Lihuashi.
Mu Guiying and Yang Zongbao met and fell in love, and after all, they did not escape the clichés of classical novels, such as competing for relatives, not fighting and not knowing each other, from misunderstanding to understanding to love and so on
The theme shows Mu Guiying's brave behavior of daring to love and hate, daring to control his own destiny, and the novel elevates Mu Guiying into a feminist, which is rare in ancient times.
It is worth mentioning that in the book, Yang Zongbao is the son of Yang Liulang, and there is no Yang Zongbao in real history, that is to say, Yang Zongbao and Mu Guiying are fictional characters.
Although there is no Mu Guiying in history, there is her mother-in-law She Taijun, of course, She Taijun is a fictional story.
The real history of She Taijun's name is Folding Saihua, note that "She" and "fold" are homophonous, according to research, the novelist listened to the wrong word.
She Taijun is Yang Jiye's wife in the novel, saying that she lived for nearly two hundred years. Later, according to historians, Fold taijun was a native of Yunzhong County, that is, in the area of present-day Datong and Shuozhou Huairen in Shanxi, and her father was the famous Northern Song Dynasty general Folding Deyi (yi).
Later, people found a stele in the south of Gushan Fort in Fugu County, which is an important Guanbao fort in Yulin Town of the Ming Great Wall, and the Seven Stars Temple at its north gate is the most famous.
According to legend, the Seven Stars Temple is the place where the Golden Dagger Order Gong Yang Jiye and the Folding Saihua privately set a lifelong life.
The stone stele records the deeds of Yang Jiye and Folding Taijun, and later archaeologists found the tomb of Folding Taijun in the village of South Folding Nest in Baode Prefecture.
In general, there is a person in history, She Taijun, but the novelist uses the wrong surname. In addition, in the Yang Zhongwu Ancestral Hall in Dai County, Shanxi Province, there is a preservation of the "Yang Clan Genealogy", Taiyuan, Shanxi Was once the place where the Yang family fought, and the family tree gave She Taijun a high evaluation. From this point, it can also be seen that there are indeed She Taijun people in history.
