Meng Jiang Female Crying great wall This is an allusion that has been passed down by word of mouth by the world. In this story, the image of the tyrant of Qin Shi Huang jumped on the paper, through vivid explanations, pictures and texts, this story, the characters of Qin Shi Huang were deeply implanted in people's minds. Saying more, the fake also comes true, no one to explore its authenticity, then the story of Qin Shi Huang and Meng JiangNu is true or false?
Exploring its truth, it was found that Meng Jiangnu had nothing to do with Qin Shi Huang. The story of Meng Jiang's weeping husband comes from the "Zuo Chuan", Meng Jiang Nu is also known as qi liang's wife, and is the wife of the Qi general Qi Liang. In 550 BC, the princes marched, and the Duke of Qizhuang led a large army to sneak into the Jin state in order to avenge his early years, and Qiliang served as the vanguard of the army. However, due to the leak of information, the Jin state made sufficient preparations for qi Zhuanggong to retreat weakly, but he could not swallow this breath, and on the way back, he sent a small detachment to sneak attack, which was served by Qi liang. Apparently, Qiliang was killed.
After returning to China, the Duke of QiZhuang saw Qi liang's wife, so he proposed to sacrifice Qi Liang on the spot, but was opposed by Qi Liang's wife, believing that he had sacrificed his life for the country and that the hero of the country should be sacrificed at home, and Qi Zhuang Had no choice but to participate. In this story, Qiliang's wife did not cry or have any Great Wall, this story has been circulated for 200 years, and it is recorded in the "Book of Rites", where the story has a follow-up development of the plot, and Qiliang's wife wept bitterly in front of the coffin. The story reaches the late Western Han Dynasty, with the first version of the story of the wall falling, Qiliang's wife faces the death of her husband, her heart is dead, she resents, resentment of the war This resentment and sadness made the city wall collapse. The first version of this story appears in many sources such as "The Legend of the Spirited Woman".
In the last years of the Tang Dynasty, with the publication of the poem "Qiliang Wife", this story of more than 300 years ago was directly put together with Qin Shi Huang, who incarnated as Meng Jiangnu, when Qin Shi Huang was tyrannical, building the Great Wall, people and soil were buried, Qi liang's wife's father and husband died on the Great Wall, she lost her voice and cried, wept over the Great Wall, and the Great Wall collapsed and appeared her husband's body. This is the origin of the story of Meng Jiang's weeping on the Great Wall.
To sum up, Qin Shi Huang and Meng JiangNu were not related, and later evolved to finally become the current version.
