In the rendition of Eastern Wu, it was not heavily described by the author, but the credit of many people in Jiangdong was placed on top of the characters of Shu Han. For example, the earliest person in history to propose the three divisions of the world was not Zhuge Liang's "Longzhong Pair", but Lu Su's "Tatami Strategy"; in history, it was not Guan Yu who killed Huaxiong, but Sun Jian. In 192 AD, Sun Jian was ordered by Yuan Shu to attack Jingzhou and was shot and killed by Liu Biao's general Huang Zu, and Sun Quan was only nine years old at this time, so how old was Sun Quan's sister Sun Shangxiang?
After Sun Jian's death, how old was Sun Shangxiang
In 208 AD, Liu Bei took Jingzhou and began to develop his own power, Sun Quan wanted to ask Liu Bei to return to the land of Jingzhou, so he obeyed Zhou Yu's plan and tricked Liu Bei into coming to Eastern Wu as a hostage to return to Jingzhou, what was the reason for tricking Liu Bei into coming to Eastern Wu? It was Sun Shangxiang, the sister of Sun Quan, who was married by the two families, to marry Liu Bei. How big was Sun Shangxiang at this time? According to the yanyi, Nian Fang's 18 may still be an imaginary age, but should be 17 years old. So how old was Sun Quan at this time? According to historical records, Sun Quan was born in 182 AD, and by 208 AD he was already 26 years old, so it is calculated that Sun Shangxiang was not born after Sun Jian's death, so where did Sun Quan come from as a sister? Therefore, we need to see whether Sun Shangxiang is Sun Jian's heir or not.
Sun Shangxiang's life
Sun Jian's wife Wu had five children, namely Sun Ce, Sun Quan, Sun Yi, and Sun Kuang, and as for the daughter, there is no name record in the history books, Sun Jian's concubine Ding Shi had a son and a daughter, the son was Sun Lang, and the daughter was also nameless in the history books. According to historical records, Sun Quan had two sisters and one sister, so Sun Jian had at least three daughters, so it seems that Sun Shangxiang's birth mother could not be distinguished from the Wu clan, may be the Ding clan, or it may be Shu Out. But the only certainty is that his father is Sun Jian, so what is the reason why Sun Shangxiang was born after Sun Jian's death?
Sun Shangxiang's age problem
According to the deduction of the interpretation, it is obviously unreasonable, because the pregnancy can be born in October, and Sun Shangxiang's age is seriously unreasonable. Why did it cause Sun Shangxiang to be so unreasonable? First of all, the name Sun Shangxiang has no historical record, so this may be a figment of the author. For example, in order to highlight the glorious image of Guan Yu, the author invented the character of Zhou Cang, and there was no such person in history, just to set off Guan Yu. So is it possible that Sun Shangxiang made it up? Yes. Because Liu Bei lost himself for a while when he was in Jiangdong, the life of Jiangdong's brocade and jade food made Liu Bei linger, thanks to Zhao Yun's reminder, Liu Bei remembered the heavy responsibility on his body "to restore the Han Room, and return to the old capital", so the author intended to praise Liu Bei for his lost way and firm confidence. After all, in the rendition, the author follows the route of "respecting Liu and degrading Cao", so Sun Shangxiang's age cannot be verified, and he is a character of rendition.
Secondly, in history, Sun Quan did have a younger sister named Sun Xiaomei, and indeed married Liu Bei. The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms records that in the beginning, Sun Quan took his sister's wife as the first lord. However, there is no clear record of Sun Xiaomei's age, only the time of a person's death. This gave the author of the rendition an opportunity to marry Sun Quan when he was in full bloom, and in ancient times, women were relatively young, generally in their teens. In the rendition, Liu Bei is a great hero, so Sun Shangxiang's age is written as seventeen years old, thus forgetting the age of Sun Jian's death in history. Why is there such a big mistake?
Because in history, the age of Sun Jian's death is more controversial. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms alone has two theories. First: In the third year of Chuping, the envoy Jian marched on Jingzhou and attacked Liu Biao. Huang Zu was sent against Fan and Deng. Jian broke through it, chased after the Han River, besieged Xiangyang, and single-handedly marched to Da Nang Mountain, where he was shot by Zu Junshi. The third year of Chuping is also 192 AD. Second: According to the "Wu Lu" quoted by Pei Songzhi, the subject was seventeen years old and lost his sense of humility. This sentence is what Sun Ce said, Sun Ce died in 200 AD, when he was 26 years old, so Sun Ce should be 191 AD when he was 17 years old, then the corresponding time of Sun Jian's death will also change, a year difference, as Sun Ce's widow is still possible.
In summary, Sun Shangxiang is a name made up by Yanyi, there is no clear record in history, as to why Sun Quan was only nine years old after Sun Jian's death, and Sun Quan was 11 years older than Sun Shangxiang, the fundamental reason is that the time of Sun Jian's death is more controversial, and the author of Yanyi cannot take out the specific time, so he takes a more credible time, thus giving people the illusion that Sun Shangxiang was born two years after Sun Ce's death. So what do you think is the reason why Sun Quan was nine years old when Sun Ce died, but Sun Quan was 11 years older than Sun Shangxiang?
