Parallel history
In ancient China, due to the limitations of the media, people of different classes had completely different understandings of history, and the differences were even like the differences between parallel worlds: the reader's understanding of history came from the study of correct history and wild history. Most of the people's understanding of history stemmed from the propaganda of storytellers. The history mentioned by the storytellers is often more literary than the historical attribute - for example, "Say Yue Quan Biography" is regarded as a historical novel, but from the end of "Say Yue Quan Biography": after Yue Fei's death, Yue Fei's old department attacked the Huanglong Mansion and forced the Jinguo Wolf Lord to claim subjection to the Song Dynasty.
Under the propaganda and summary of the storyteller, the ancients had this understanding of historical figures:
The king is not a button
Xiang refers to Xiang Yu, the King of Chu. In Chinese history, Xiang Yu's position was more awkward: because according to the official opinion of the Han Dynasty, after the Qin, the Mandate of Heaven was on the Han Dynasty, and Xiang Yu was at best a tyrant. But in fact (including Sima Qian also admitted), Xiang Yu did serve as the leader of Liu Bang and had the attributes of a supreme ruler.
The so-called Wang Buxiang can be understood as among the chinese rulers of the past, Xiang Yu has something that no one can match: for example, his individual combat ability: Xiang Yu was on the Wu River, and once relied on his own bravery to kill hundreds of Han soldiers; in addition, because Xiang Yu had fewer hearts, he was destined to have a bold personality - for example, at the Hongmen banquet, he told Liu Bang: Cao Wu was injured to give himself a message.
Xiang Yu's bravery and bravery cannot be compared with the supreme rulers of previous generations, so there is a saying that "the king is not a xiang".
It's not as strong as it gets
tyrant. Referring to Li Yuanba.
Li Yuanba is a character in the folk literature Sui and Tang Dynasties. Its historical prototype is Li Xuanba, the third son of Li Yuan, who died before the establishment of the Tang Dynasty. However, in folk literature, it is set as the fourth son of Li Yuan, and among the heroes of the late Sui Dynasty, his strength far exceeded that of all the military generals of the same period.
For example, the famous Qin Qiong was in a move with Yuwen Chengdu, and within a few rounds, Qin Qiong's weapon was shocked by Yuwen Chengdu. Yuwen Chengdu encountered Li Yuanba, and within a few rounds, he was killed at the hands of Li Yuanba.
In the "Complete Biography of Tang Dynasty", the Eighteen-Way Anti-King gathers together, Li Yuanba goes to surrender on behalf of the Tang Dynasty, and one person kills hundreds of thousands of anti-Wang troops (according to the ancient folk storytellers who do not understand the battle front, so they will set such details), forcing the anti-king to submit to the Tang Dynasty.
Will not be lee
Li refers to Li Cunxiao.
Historically, he was the adopted son of the late Tang warlord Li Keyong. In the late Tang Dynasty, there were frequent wars between warlords, many warlords used to adopt adopted sons, and sent adopted sons to lead soldiers to fight, in fact, the adopted sons also had anti-guests, usurping the adoptive father's family business - for example, during the Five Dynasties period, the founding emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty was the adopted son of Xu Wen, a powerful minister of Southern Wu.
In folk literature, Li Cunxiao is an invincible warrior in the world, and can be called a famous general in the world. But because of this, it caused many people to be jealous, and Li Keyong was once jealous of Li Cunxiao's ability, so he put Li Cunxiao to death.
Five generations later, Li Cunxun, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was the son of Li Keyong, and from the names of Li Cunxun and Li Cunxiao, it can also be seen that the origin between the three people can be seen.
Punches are not gold
Jin, refers to the golden platform.
Unlike Xiang Yu, Li Yuanba, and Li Cunxiao, who have indeed existed in history, Jintai is not a historical figure, but a figure in folk literature.
It is generally believed that Jin Tai was a martial arts master in the era of Emperor Renzong of Song, and had a relationship with Wang Anshi, Cai Jing and others, and the height of boxing was unparalleled in the world. Jintai had an apprentice named Zhou Tong. Several of Zhou Tong's apprentices are well-known in Chinese literature and history: there are Lu Junyi, Lin Chong, and the famous Yue Fei is also from this person.
