The story of Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian is all heard, and it is said that at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a person named Wu Dalang, who was short in stature and ugly in appearance, just a vendor selling burnt cakes, and his family was very poor, but he had a beautiful woman Pan Jinlian.
And this kind of beauty and beast plot will only appear in fairy tales, so Wu Dalang's wife Pan Jinlian is naturally not willing to be lonely, and hooks up with the official Ximen Qing downstairs in her own house, and mixes together all day long.

Not only that, in order to be able to be together in a bright and upright way, the two people secretly conspired, and finally Pan Jinlian poisoned her husband Wu Dalang, leaving a stink for thousands of years.
Of course, at the end of the story, it is natural that the evil people have evil retribution, and Wu Dalang in the Water Margin is a younger brother named Wu Song, who is a well-known local good man, who looks very handsome and handsome, and Pan Jinlian of the watery Yanghua of course also tries to seduce Wu Song, but unfortunately Wu Song is not close to the female color and finally failed.
But Wu Song could not have imagined that Pan Jinlian would actually hook up with other men to murder his brother. Comparing the fact that Wu Song beat the tiger is very famous in the local area, they plotted to kill Wu Dalang, are they not afraid that Wu Song will come back and chop them?
Sure enough, Wu Song came back and found that this incident naturally would not spare the adulterers and adulteresses, personally stabbed the two by hand, and finally joined Liangshan in order to avoid the official pursuit.

But whether this story is true or not cannot be verified, after all, the author has disappeared into the long river of history. No one would have thought that this was a fictional story, but in recent years, this mystery has finally been solved, because archaeologists have dug up Wu Dalang's tomb, and this six-hundred-year-old deception has finally been solved, so what is the truth?
Is Wu Dalang really short and cowardly, and is Pan Jinlian really watery Yang Hua?
Classical masterpiece, century-old deception
"Water Margin" must be very clear to everyone, this book is one of the four famous works in ancient China. The author is Shi Nai'an, and the book tells the story of the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, with Song Jiang leading the liangshan good han to rebel against the Northern Song government as the story line, telling the story of one hero and good man after another.
Among the most well-known stories, it must include Wu Song fighting the tiger, this clip must be everyone every time you read it, there will be some blood boiling, and the character of Wu Song also makes us marvel.
So the question is, why would such a figure who could fight and kill the tiger join Liangshan, and it was too easy to find an official and a half-position in the imperial court with his ability.
But he would actually go to Liangshan to become a bandit, what did Wu Song go through before he was forced to fall into Liangshan?
On this matter, we have to say about Wu Song's brother Wu Dalang, we all know that Wu Dalang married a young and beautiful wife, named Pan Jinlian, and Wu Dalang looks very ugly, life is still very poor, this is naturally not enough to satisfy the watery Yanghua Pan Jinlian, so Pan Jinlian is not willing to be lonely, everywhere, including her uncle Wu Song, also seduced, but the upright Wu Song rejected his sister-in-law Pan Jinlian, and later he was merciful to Ximen Qing when watching the scenery outside the window, and finally mixed with Ximen Qingwei. And conspired to poison Wu Dalang, which was really cruel.
Figure 3
When Wu Song, who returned home, saw this situation, he was naturally also angry, and he arrested Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing in front of Wu Dalang's corpse and personally ended the two of them, but this scene was also seen by many people, so Wu Song could only escape for his own life, and after some hardships, he still went up to Liangshan and fell into the grass.
The story of Pan Jinlian poisoning Wu Dalang also has a long history and has been scolded by the world, but the story is a story after all, and there is no basis. No, several experts dug up Wu Dalang's tomb, and after some investigation, they finally unveiled this century-old scam.
The end of the scam, the model couple
On a clear afternoon, an archaeologist dug up a tomb while conducting archaeological research in Qinghe County, Hebei Province, which made the experts excited, and immediately opened the tomb, and inside the tomb was a tall corpse, and such a corpse, who would think of the diminutive Wu Dalang in the Water Margin?
But as the experts continued their research, they found that there was an inscription in the tomb, and experts who were good at writing immediately translated it. Don't look at it, don't know, look at it and be shocked, with the continuous translation of experts, a shocking scam is also revealed.
The inscription describes it like this: Wu Dalang's real name is Wu Zhi, born in Qinghe County, where experts dug up his grave, and is a member of the Wujia Village in Qinghe County.
Figure 4
Wu Dalang's family was poor, but he worked very hard, loved to read, was determined to be admitted to the lifting, and finally lived up to the expectations of the people, and finally in middle age, he was finally admitted to the lifting, and also became the local parent official, benefiting the people, and was a good official in the hearts of the people.
It is not a bakery seller like Water Margin says, and the height is not described by Water Margin as a dwarf. On the contrary, Wu Dalang is one meter and eight meters tall, looks handsome, and is a famous local Junhousheng.
As for Pan Jinlian, she was originally such a person in the Water Margin: Pan Jinlian was originally a lady in the old man's house, because of her beautiful appearance, the old man of this family has always been worried about it, wanting to let Pan Jinlian from him, but pan Jinlian was also very fierce at the beginning, saying that she did not follow anything, and finally this old man married Pan Jinlian to the ugly-looking Pan Jinlian in a rage, wanting to make him regret it for a lifetime.
And his approach did work, because Wu Dalang was not only ugly in appearance, but also very poor, and made a living by selling burnt cakes. At first, Pan Jinlian didn't care, she felt that she could definitely carry it, but over time, Pan Jinlian couldn't accept such a life, and she wasn't willing to let her life pass like this, so she hooked up with Ximen Qing and poisoned Wu Dalang. But is this really the case?
Of course, this is not the case, even Wu Dalang is fabricated, let alone Pan Jinlian? Of course, Pan Jinlian is a real person in history, and she and Wu Dalang are also husband and wife.
However, Pan Jinlian is not a lady in someone else's house, on the contrary, she is still a lady of the Zhizhou family, the family is well-off, the family lives in Huangjia Village, not far from the Wujia Village, and she has also been very fond of Wu Dalang since childhood, and she admires Wu Dalang's character very much, and the two people are also privately determined to live a long time at an early age, and love each other for a lifetime.
Figure 5
Therefore, Pan Jinlian not only did not cheat on Ximen Qing, but also gave birth to four children for Wu Dalang, who has been a husband and godson, and is a famous local model of virtuous wives.
It can be seen that the story of Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian told by the Water Margin is not true, Pan Jinlian not only did not cheat, but also a model of a virtuous wife, Wu Dalang is not as bad as the novel wrote, on the contrary, he is still a parent official, seeking the welfare of the local people, and his appearance is also tall and handsome, so why does the plot in the novel appear?
Brothers slander, creating unjust cases throughout the ages
Could it be that the story in the novel was deliberately made up by the author Shi Nai'an? But why? After all, there is no conflict between the two people. So what exactly is the reason?
After continuous research by experts, the truth finally came out, the original story was maliciously ugly version by others, and it was just when Shi Nai'an was writing water margin, and heard such a story and wrote it, so there will be a later appearance of this story.
Next, let's talk about the real reason why this story appeared.
When Wu Dalang was young, his family was poor, and he loved to read, and often did not have enough to eat, but fortunately, Wu Dalang had a good friend named Huang Tang, who often received him during the days when Wu Dalang was studying, and it was Huang Tang's years of help that made Wu Dalang pass the examination and become a local parent official.
Figure 6
Huang Tang was also very relieved to see this, and secretly lamented that the help of so many years had not been in vain, so he took up his bag and came to Qinghe County to join Wu Dalang.
But you say it is not a coincidence, a few days before Huang Tang came, Wu Dalang's family just suffered a fire, the family was burned to the point that there was nothing left, but in the face of the arrival of his good friend Huang Tang, Wu Dalang naturally could not be stingy, eating and drinking well to entertain Huang Tang.
"Brother Wu Zhi, I have one thing I want to ask you to help, I don't know if you can agree?" Huang Tang said to Wu Dalang with a smile on his face.
"Brother Huang, what is this, you have the grace of reconstruction for me, without your help, I can't have the achievements I have now, you have something but say it doesn't matter, I can help you will try my best to help you."
Wu Dalang said confidently.
"Hahaha, in fact, it is not a big deal, here are some silver two, Brother Wu Zhi also please accept it."
Huang Tang smiled and squinted at Wu Dalang.
"Can't make it, can't make it, Brother Huang, what do you mean by this, don't be so polite between you and me, if there is something to say directly to me, give me silver two but torment me." Wu Dalang hurriedly waved his hand and righteously rejected Huang Tang.
Figure 7
"I was reckless, but brother, you have become the parent official of Qinghe County, and the power is also through the sky, whether you can arrange an official and a half-post for your brother is also too addicted to being an official." Huang Tang was not angry either, and he smiled and told Wu Dalang his appeal. He immediately stared straight at Wu Dalang.
"Brother Huang, if it's something else, I'll help you, but this kind of thing, I'm sorry, I can't help you, this matter violates my principles." Wu Dalang shook his head and refused Huang Tang's request.
"Why" Huang Tang's face changed
"Wu Dalang, have you forgotten who helped you study and gave you a chance to be admitted?" I am such a small favor, are you not willing to help, just let you arrange an official at will, can't you exchange so much help for such a little? ”
Huang Tang said angrily.
When Wu Dalang heard Huang Tang say this, his face also cooled down: "Brother Huang, I know that you have the grace of recreating me, but don't say this kind of favoritism again, I will never agree to it."
Figure 8
In addition to this matter and other things I can do, I will definitely try my best to help you, even if it is to take Wu Mou's life, I will not blink my eyes. ”
Huang Tang heard Wu Dalang say this, and in a fit of anger, he slammed the door and left, and the more Huang Tang thought about it on the way, the more angry he became:
"I have been kind enough to help you for so many years, you are so kind to me, you are such an ungrateful person, you are also worthy of the word parent official, do not help me, why don't you get better." 」
Huang Tang, who returned to his hometown, began to slander Wu Dalang everywhere, and over time, this story was also circulated, just when Shi Nai'an was looking for materials, just like this, after the processing of Shi Nai'an, the ugly version of Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian was passed out, and Pan Jinlian also carried the insult of hundreds of years.
Fortunately, with the emergence of Wu Dalang's tomb, this century-old deception is finally over, Wu Dalang is no longer an ugly and short bakery vendor, and Pan Jinlian is no longer a watery Yanghua mane.
The truth of this matter may make people a little ridiculous, so that the world has insulted Pan Jinlian for hundreds of years is only maliciously slandered by others, only fictionalized, may also make many people can not accept, after all, the TV series has also filmed a lot.
But history is history, and since we know the truth, we must respect history. In the history of our country, such a situation is also not uncommon.
Figure 9
After all, the ancient news is relatively closed, we want to understand can only rely on the history books, and the main history is written by the historians in the palace, and the historians in order to please the emperor or other high officials, there will certainly be cases of fraud, and the wild history is even worse, the people who write the wild history may be hearsay, and it is even more impossible to guarantee its accuracy.
For example, Zhuge Liang's wife Huang Yueying, many history books describe her strange and ugly appearance, the reason why she can marry Zhuge Liang is also because Huang Yueying is very talented, and she is the daughter of Zhuge Liang's close friend Huang Chengyan, which can attract Zhuge Liang with her talent. But there are also some history books that say it is not the same as this.
Some history books say this: Huang Yueying looks very outstanding, so she has been jealous of many people, and they have denigrated Huang Yueying, saying that she is a famous ugly woman in the local area, which has led to the image in the history books, but the truth is so, we can not be sure, we can only say that the years have taken away a lot, even books can not record all the truth.
Figure 10
The story of Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian is thought-provoking, this story has been insulted for hundreds of years because of the slander and rumors of others, and this also reflects the current situation of today's society, more and more people for the sake of interests, there is no bottom line, maliciously slander others, fabricate some false facts to attract people's attention.
In particular, some people will point the finger at those who are revolutionary ancestors or those who have made outstanding contributions to the country for the sake of so-called heat, won't you feel bad in your heart? I really won't be ashamed to say such words, and I hope that in my future life, there will be less slander and more love. There will be no more innocent victims like Pan Jinlian, suffering from innocence.
