When it comes to Ji Xiaolan during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, most people should have an image of wit, humor, innocence, and unparalleled talent. Especially the classic TV series about Ji Xiaolan, let more people think that the historical Ji Xiaolan and the TV series should be consistent, at least almost the same. Is that really the case with the great talents of history? Let's take a look at it together, after reading it, your impression of him may change.
The most effective way to understand the history of that time and restore the true character of the characters is through archaeology. It is more scientific to infer from cultural relics or related documents unearthed in archaeology. Therefore, the best way to find the real Ji Xiaolan is also through archaeology, through some things left by Ji Xiaolan. The most important and reliable of these things is his grave.
The discovery of Ji Xiaolan's grave was a very accidental process, and at the beginning everyone did not know that it was his grave. Instead, a few tomb robbers first targeted this place, and then they were discovered by local villagers. Later, the villagers called the police again, and the police contacted the local cultural relics experts. In order to recover some of the losses, the experts carried out excavations. However, after excavation, there was no body of Ji Xiaolan inside this tomb, but the bodies of seven women were found. The posture of the bodies of these seven women in the tomb is very special, they are all sitting or open postures.
At the beginning, everyone had already made a mistake, and this tomb had nothing to do with Ji Xiaolan. However, after some research, experts concluded that the seven women were his concubines. So why are there seven women in the tomb, and these women are in such a special posture?
Just when everyone was thinking hard, one of the experts said, "In the Qing Dynasty, there was a book called Xiaoting Miscellaneous Records, which recorded that when Ji Dacaizi was eighty years old, he still liked to be close to women, and his ability as a man was not weakened at all." Now it seems that the record in this book is not wrong, these seven women should all be Ji Xiaolan's concubines, and they are all for Ji Xiaolan's burial.
Ji Xiaolan liked women so much that after he died, he definitely wanted to bring his concubine to the underworld. After some explanation by this expert, everyone suddenly realized that the places that did not make sense before were now all connected. In this book, it is also recorded that when Ji Dacaizi was eighty years old, he had to eat about ten pounds of meat at each meal. Such an appetite is incomparable to that of a young man.
From this point of view, the Ji Dacai recorded in the book of Xiao Ting's Miscellaneous Records should be relatively close to the archaeological inference of Ji Xiaolan, who is a person who likes good women and good appetite. No wonder Masashi didn't think much of him.
