Alas, there are too many such people, most of them are out of the classical historical legendary novels, with the spread of the novel and become famous and well-known, so that everyone thinks that he has existed in history, even a very famous, very powerful character, but in fact he is just a fictional character.
For example, in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the mink cicada, one of the four beauties, is a completely fictional character. Although history records that Lü Bu killed Dong Zhuo angrily because of a woman, this woman was a nameless person, never heard that her name was Sable Cicada, or appeared in other historical books. In addition, there are many fictional characters in "Three Kingdoms", such as the famous admiral Pan Feng is fictional, and Zhou Cang, who followed Guan Yu's birth and death, is also fictional, and for example, a big boss in a certain level in Cao Cao's camp called Yan Ming in the Three Kingdoms Zhi pass game played when he was a child is also a fictional character.
There is also a fictional character hard-hit area, that is, Sui and Tang novels. For example, Li Yuanba, the son of Li Yuan, the younger brother of Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng, and others, killed Yuwen Chengdu, known as the head of the Eighteen Good Hans of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but unfortunately this glorious resume is all novelist's words, and there is no such figure in history; for example, Yuwen Chengdu, who was killed by Li Yuanba, he was the son of Yu Wenhua and the great general of The Sui Dynasty Tianbao, but he was also fictional; there was also a highly popular cold-faced cold gun Luo Cheng, which was also fictional; and Xue Dingshan, the son of the great general Xue Rengui, was even more fictional, but Xue Dingshan had a prototype in history. It was Xue Rengui's son Xue Ne.
In the Song Dynasty, the biggest fictional character was the legendary Zhao Defang, the King of the Eight Sages, who held a golden hammer and fought the emperor and beat his subjects. Legend has it that he was the son of Zhao Kuangyin, the grandfather of the Song Dynasty, but Zhao Kuangyin passed the throne to his younger brother Zhao Guangyi and gave Zhao Defang a golden hammer. Therefore, he took this golden hammer and repeatedly appeared in the words of various novelists such as "Yang Jiajian" and "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", and fought side by side with Yang Jiajian and Bao Qingtian, fighting against traitors. But alas, he is also a fictional character.
There is also an important fictional character in the wild history of the Song Dynasty, that is, Su Shi's sister Su Xiaomei. The Buddha seal said that Su Shi was like a Buddha, Su Shi said that the Buddha seal was a piece of, Su Shi was proud, and was broken by Su Xiaomei's words, that is, what you see in your heart is what it is. This story has been interpreted by us countless times, in fact, it is fictionalized by the notes of the literati, because there is no such a witty woman as Su Xiaomei in history.
There are actually many such people, and the reason why there are so many familiar but fictional historical figures is mainly because Chinese like to read history too much, but the twenty-four histories are high and low, and they are shelved, and the entry point for everyone to understand history has become what novels, legends, operas, commentaries, etc., and these fictional characters actually have some good wishes of the broad masses of the people, which are worth cherishing them.
