China has a long history, and there have been many characters who have been transported through the ages or have been left behind for thousands of years. Moreover, there is a common characteristic of Chinese writers, that is, when depicting characters, they like to go to an extreme, either a perfect and loyal good person, or a big evil person who has no evil and has many sins. The editor always says that to evaluate the image of any historical figure, we must synthesize his literary outlook, historical image and folklore, because no one can answer the specific question of how this person is, and we can only combine his deeds from the folklore, literary image, and historical records left behind to depict this person's character characteristics and life evaluation. In the folk, it is necessary to evaluate a historical figure so complicated.
In the eyes of ordinary people, those complicated historical commentaries are far less impressive than a thrilling or a well-known story, so in the Ming and Qing dynasties, many authors, including literary artists, began to write a large number of renditions, legends, stories and biographies in order to cater to the tastes of mass readers. Some authors summarize and collect some stories of characters in history that are easy to write to attract readers, and a large number of historical figures have been adapted into various versions of the legend, resulting in many authors having no fresh materials available, so the sword takes a bias, takes a unique path, begins to make up some characters to join the major historical events, and becomes a quite influential, distinctive personality, easy to gain people's favor or easy to disgust people to get the reader's love, these fictional heroes or evil people, have caused a lot of historical views on the reader.
So how many well-known great men, heroes, and thieves are fictional literary figures? The list goes on and on, and we're going to talk about some of the more representative ones in a few days, who all have a place in the legends of the rendition, and who are deeply loved and praised by the audience. Who is it all about?
The first, the Eight Sages king in Bao Qingtian, Zhao Defang. If you say Bao Zheng, it must be known to everyone, since ancient times, he is the image representative of the Qing official and the parent official, he in Peking Opera, with a black face, but like the embodiment of justice, in the novel, he, iron-faced selfless, for the interests of the people to uphold justice, but also a great detective, any intricate suspense case in his hands can be cracked. And the Eight Sages King, who took good care of him in the film and television drama, is basically a fictional character, and no prince in history can correspond to it. The prince in the play also participated in the famous Tanuki cat for prince incident, but whether there is a tanuki cat for a prince itself is still unknown. In the history of Bao Zheng, there is indeed a person, but also a clean official with two sleeves, but he is not a detective who judges cases like a god, nor is he as deeply rooted in the hearts of the people as portrayed in literary novels, but he is a stubborn and temperamental courtier, often in front of the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu to let the emperor not come to the stage, so the emperor does not like him, and the Eight Sages King, is only a necessary backstage in the novel to support a stubborn and stubborn Bao Zheng, otherwise Bao Zheng's temperament and detective-like means will only get more and more people. I don't know when I died, but in the end, it is also a successful character construction, which has indeed won the love of a large number of audiences, especially his elegant demeanor, noble temperament and upholding the image of justice and justice are sung by the audience.
The second is a legendary famous beauty, he is the name of the "closed moon" of the mink cicada, this in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was originally situ Wang Yun's adopted daughter of the woman, she is Wang Yun planted in Dong Zhuo's side of a stinger but in the history, partial Dong Zhuo's death and she did not have a half-cent relationship, and at that time the invincible Lü Bu did not fall in love with her, literature is always ideal, Lü Bu's combat strength at that time can be said to be unparalleled in the world, Liu Bei made a double-stranded sword, Wusheng Guan Yu made the Green Dragon Yanyue sword, Zhang Fei made the three people of the Eight Snake Spear join forces, all of them are only able to fight with him, such a heroic and unparalleled person, of course, only the world's most beautiful women can be worthy, there is a sable cicada, and Situ Wang Yun did use beauty in history to make Dong Zhuo sink, but did not touch Lü Bu's reverse scales, in fact, Lü Bu was an unfaithful and unbelieving person, because he was Dong Zhuo's righteous son, and was also bumped into with Dong Zhuo's concubine private affair, touched Dong Zhuo's anger, and it was against the norm, only because he was really strong in battle, he only left a life, But because of this, he was very Dong Zhuo, but Luo Guanzhong portrayed the concubines who had committed adultery as a peerless beauty, which was more fascinating, and Lü Bu's image was plump.
The third place, Jingwumen Chen Zhen. This is the modern image, he does have his own person, but also is indeed a disciple of Master Huo Yuanjia, but he does not have such a profound martial art and heroic story, at that time, the country was weak, everyone felt inferior to foreigners, and the chinese people were ridiculed by foreigners as "the sick man of East Asia", so an image of a kung fu hero who eliminated violence and peace, patriotism and love for the people appeared, and he pinned his hopes on the people's desire for self-improvement.
The fourth, the hero of the towel - Mu Guiying, Mu Guiying is excellent in martial arts, witty and brave, and the legend has a goddess who teaches the art of arrow flying knife, is an outstanding figure in the Yang family, and has also made military achievements. Through novels and film and television dramas, Mu Guiying has become a household name, but it is a pity that the character of Mu Guiying is fictional. The History of Song is not recorded at all. If Mu Guiying really existed, plus she was so powerful, Song Shi could not have failed to record.
The fifth, this household name, must have deceived you for many years, she is the father of the army, in the male ranks of The Mulan who has not been discovered for ten years. In history, there is no corresponding dynasty and historical facts that can witness this event, through history, there is no female general who conforms to the description, but her story is widely circulated, and it is mentioned in the language textbook that her appearance may have been deliberately spread by the imperial court at that time in order to encourage people's determination to defend the country, and this story even affected a group of people abroad, because the well-known animation and film production company Disney adapted this story into an animation film, which was also loved by foreign audiences, especially young audiences. The image of Mulan depicts a story because the father of the family can't bear to die on the battlefield, and the woman dressed as a man to join the army, the reason why it is a literary image is because women mixed into the male soldiers' camp and are not found to think how to think is a literary technique.
