Speaking of the character of Zhan Zhao, presumably everyone knows and knows everyone, although most people have not seen Shi Yukun's original "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", but they have learned about this person in film and television works such as "Bao Qingtian". For example, when mentioning Bao Zheng Bao Qingtian and following the characters around him, the first estimate that can be thought of is Zhan Zhao. In particular, He Jiajin's performance of Zhan Zhao, heroic and heroic, is very popular.
The character of Zhan Zhao was derived from Shi Yukun's pen and was written during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, and its description is during the Northern Song Dynasty. Zhan Zhao was originally a jianghu warrior, called "Southern Xia", and the "Northern Hero" Purple Haired Bo Ouyang Chun and the Double Hero Ding Brothers were collectively known as "Three Heroes", while the Five Rat Brothers of trapd Island were called "Five Righteousness", and the two were merged together, which was "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness". In the book, after Zhan Zhao saved Bao Zheng from the Golden Dragon Temple, he joined the official field from the green forest and was given the word "royal cat" by Emperor Renzong. If it weren't for these two words, it wouldn't have led to the White Fifth Master's Golden Woolly Rat White Jade Hall.
Many people may not know that there was a special era when the character of Zhan Zhao and Sheng Ying, Huang Santai and others in "Three Heroes and Swords" appeared as negative teaching materials, because they betrayed the green forest and were willing to be with the imperial court eagle dogs, which was spurned. In fact, Zhan Zhao and Sheng Ying and others have done good things, eliminating violence and peace, eliminating harm for the people, and fighting against those evildoers in the rivers and lakes. Such people should not deserve admiration and praise, not scorn.
The character of Zhan Zhao is a master in "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", but not a top master, far inferior to Ouyang Chun in martial arts, but the character shaping is the most full, because he is a "book guts", and the good side is almost all in him. Shi Yukun described him as having achieved light feats, being instructed by famous masters, and having a strong sword technique, making a unique sword known as "Giant Que", and also making good use of hidden arrows, a hundred shots, and specializing in fighting evildoers. After joining Kaifeng Province, he was given the title of Four Pins with a Sword Guard and was given the title of "Royal Cat". His chivalrous reputation eventually overwhelmed the five rats of the empty island, turned from a wronged family into a brother, and joined forces to serve the Kaifeng Province, becoming the right and left arm of Lord Bao.
Although Zhan Zhao is a fictional character, he also has an archetype reference, this prototype is the famous Qing Dynasty martial artist "Jiangnan Hero" Gan Fengchi, Wu Jingzi's "Ru Lin Wai Shi" in the Yishi Feng Father wrote him. It is said that this person is skilled in kung fu, long fists and short fights are all exquisite, serving righteousness for people, chivalrous and courageous, easy to fight and uneven, and has the style of Confucianism. Later generations have written many books describing his character image, but it is also true and false, for example, in "Lü Siniang", it was Gan Fengchi who cooperated with Lü Siniang's assassination of the Yongzheng Emperor.
By the time of Jiaqing, the story of Gan Fengchi was well known, and its characters were deliberately exaggerated to the point of being divine. I have seen a qing dynasty stereotypical work before, in which the description of Gan Fengchi not only has the art of "ten thousand enemies", but also goes to heaven and earth, can do everything, and can be described as the tallest person in the world.
In fact, the real Gan Fengchi in history finally surrendered to the Qing court, and after being captured by Li Wei, the governor of Liangjiang, he soon joined the Qing court and served the Yongzheng Emperor and became a member of the official government. Shi Yukun used him as a model to create the character zhan zhao in "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness". In addition, Sheng Ying in "Three Heroes Sword" was once also considered to have borrowed From Gan Fengchi as a prototype. Sheng Ying was originally one of the Eight Righteousness of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and initially hated the Qing court, but eventually served the Qing court.
In addition, among the remaining martial arts of Gan Fengchi, there are sets of "double inserts" and "Nanxia Zhan Zhao". This is a set of Southern School boxing techniques, short and exquisite, rigorous structure, sometimes long dragon wrapped body, suddenly colorful butterflies flying, the so-called five elements of boxing practice, "hand-eye-body method", essentials and techniques, all reflected in this set of boxing techniques.
