During the Sui and Tang dynasties, there were many heroes, jin ge iron horses, smiling and proud of the battlefield, writing an extraordinary heroic hymn, which was passed down by word of mouth and passed down to the world, remembering the legendary deeds of sui and Tang heroes. However, let us remember that the media that allows them to spread more widely does not come from the records of the history, but from the classical historical novels, traditional commentaries, etc. It is precisely because of these grounded and easy to accept literature and art that the Sui and Tang heroes are more widely spread and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, such as the forty-six friends of Jia Liulou, the eighteen good men of the world, the eighteen anti-kings, etc. Although the books and commentaries describe their deeds are not true history, they let us remember the existence of these historical figures.

Jia Liulou Forty-six Friends, a well-known heroic group organization, gathered such as historical celebrities: Wei Zheng, Qin Qiong, Li Ji (Xu Maogong), Shan Xiongxin, Hou Junji, etc., ordinary people understand that they come more from historical novels than from the main history, so they are also because of these grounded, the literature and art of connecting the lives of the people are more widely spread, more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, becoming people who can tell a paragraph or two about their heroic deeds at their fingertips.
Jia Liulou's forty-six friends, a heroic organization headed by Wei Zheng, Qin Qiong, and Xu Maogong, whose original intention was to "save each other from life and death and help each other in tribulations." "The background of the marriage is that on the birthday of Qin Qiong's mother, haojie from all over the world gathered in Licheng to pay homage to Qin Qiong's mother, and Qin Qiong, in order to be grateful for him, set up a banquet in Jia Liu Lou to entertain forty-five heroes, during which they were like-minded, and they voluntarily married as brothers with different surnames, and were called Jia Liu Lou Forty-Six Friends (also known as Jia Jia Lou Forty-Six Friends or Wagang Zhai Forty-Six Friends). ）
Among the forty-six friends (taking the Xingtang Biography as an example), there are twenty-two heroes from the Green Forest, but they do not have a unified leadership, in other words, they are not an organization, although Shan Xiongxin is the general scoop of the Green Forest in the Nine Provinces, but few of these twenty-two heroes are under his jurisdiction or are the heads of their horses, such as: Wei Zheng, Xu Maogong, Wang Bodang, Xie Yingdeng, Cheng Yaojin, You Junda, etc.; there are seven people from Yamen Dangcha; one is Chai Shao, the son-in-law of the Marquis of Taiyuan; and two are Jia Runfu and Liu Zhouchen, who are the shopkeepers Fourteen heroes from Peking Province.
Among the forty-six friends of Jia Liulou, 14 heroes were from Beiping Province, namely Zhang Gongjin, Bai Xiandao, Shang Shishan, Xia Shishan, Wei Chinan, Wei Chibei, Mao Gongsui, Li Gongdan, Tang Guoren, Tang Guoyi, Dang Shijie, Shi Danai, Du Cha, and Luo Cheng. In addition to Luo Cheng, the remaining 13 people were all on errands in Beiping Province, serving as generals under the Marquis of Jingbian in Beiping Province and Luo Yi the Prince of Beiping, and Luo Cheng was the son of Luo Yi. In other words, on the surface, Luo Cheng called the other 13 people his brother, but in essence, Luo Cheng was the master of the other 13 people, so everyone took Luo Chengma as the leader and obeyed his orders. Therefore, it is said that among the forty-six friends of Jia Liulou, the personnel of Beiping Province account for about one-third of the number, and the actual power of these one-third of the number (power) is in the hands of Luo Cheng, that is to say, the Luo Cheng Gang (Beiping Province) is the most powerful organization among the forty-six friends, and it is no wonder that Luo Cheng is so arrogant and strong in front of all the brothers. (Of course, natural strength is also a factor!) ）
Among the 14 people in This Beiping Province, except for Zhang Gongjin and Shi Danai, the other twelve are fictional characters in the novel, Zhang Gongjin, Shi Danai is a historical figure that does exist, and is a well-known figure, and in terms of historical achievements, Zhang Gongjian should be pushed. Shi Danai, a famous general in the early Tang Dynasty, was mainly promoted to defeat Sang Xianhe, and was officially appointed as the Duke of Dou. Zhang Gongjin, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, mainly achieved the conquest of the Eastern Turks, and after pacifying the Eastern Turks, he was given the title of Duke of Feng zou, changed to the governor of Xiangzhou, and posthumously awarded the title of Grand General of Zuo Xiaowei, with the posthumous title of Xiang, and later changed to the title of Duke of Tan. For his merits, he was selected by Li Shimin as one of the Twenty-Four Heroes of Ling Yan Pavilion. (Text: Pan Xiexi)
