History has passed, and there are many fascinating figures in the long river of history, such as Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Yang Guifei, and Su Shi. However, there are still many people who are virtual characters created by historical writers and so on, but such characters often concentrate some of the ingredients that everyone needs in their feelings, so they are household names, passed down from generation to generation, and finally may feel the same as the appearance of such people. There are many such characters, and today I will try to cite three to see how the ancients shaped their roles.
First, the mink cicada
The four beauties are the beautiful fantasies of women in ancient times. However, there are very few records about them in history, and there are not many records of Wang Zhaojun and Xi Shi. The sable cicada is a character that appears in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and is not recorded in history, so the legend of the four beauties should not have appeared before the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Folklore says that the mink cicada, whose original name was Ren Hongchang, was a village girl in Shanxi, and some people believe that Lü Bubu's former wife Lady Du (Du Xiuniang) of Qin Yilu was a mink cicada. The story of her willingness to dedicate herself to completing the serial plan in order to repay the nurturing grace of her righteous father Wang Yun is widely spread among the people
In all historical materials, there is no record of the mink cicada, which is generally considered to be an original literary role in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the marten cicada took refuge in the palace due to the rebellion of the Ten Constant Attendants, and was taken in as a righteous daughter by King Situ.
Second, Li Yuanba
Li Yuanba is the representative of the power type, and his name also explains everything, "Yuan" is the first, and "hegemony" is brave and domineering. This person has appeared in many novels, and is a fictional character who appears in the classical novel "Speaking of Tang" and the commentary "The Legend of Xingtang", "Wagang Hero" and "Sui and Tang Dynasty". In these novels, he was "honored" as the first fierce general of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, with a face like a sick ghost, a bone as thin as wood, and four elephants in his arms, which no one could beat. Make a pair of hammers, four hundred pounds a piece, a total weight of eight hundred pounds. The mount is "Ten Thousand Miles Cloud", which travels 10,000 a day and 8,000 at night. Some people say that his prototype is Li Yuan's son, but in fact, he is more like the epitome of many military generals who died in confusion at the turn of the Sui and Tang Dynasties: brave and fierce, insufficient IQ, and tragic ending. These Sui and Tang novels, plastic a lot of popular virtual characters, such as Luo Cheng and so on.
Third, Mulan
"Chirping and chirping, Mulan is weaving." Ask the woman what she thinks, ask the woman what she remembers..." The reason why Mulan is well known is all due to the folk song "Mulan Ci", but there is no record of Mulan's surname, place of origin, etc. in the history of history, so the literary and artistic works of later generations, such as movies, TV series, stage plays, etc., are changed according to the content of this "Mulan Ci", and there is no historical basis.
People like Hua Mulan fully meet the literary requirements of ancient chivalrous women and filial piety, and she is more touching than "Ti Qian to save her father". In ancient times, the conditions were very harsh, basically eating, going to the toilet, bathing were all together, Mulan women dressed as men for her father to serve in the army for 12 years, if no one found out that she was a daughter, this is simply impossible. Moreover, although there is no clear age limit for ancient wars, it is generally not allowed to go on a 12-year expedition.
But there must be a female Haojie like Mulan, but at that time, the preference for sons over women, the history books always cherished ink and gold for women, and there was certainly no record. In ancient times, even the name of the emperor's mother was often not remembered, let alone a very different woman who did not conform to the three from the four virtues. Above are 3 people who did not exist in history, but there are still people who believe it, and they all sound familiar.
