In some classical and traditional Chinese literature works, there are many fierce generals who use sledgehammers, and they all have the power of a thousand jun, and the sledgehammer is invincible. Among these fierce generals who use sledgehammers, the most famous one is Li Yuanba in "Speaking of Tang".
Li Yuanba
In the novel "Speaking of Tang", Li Yuanba is the first good man in the world, the first of the eighteen good men of the Sui and Tang dynasties. Li Yuanba was the reincarnation of the golden-winged roc bird, and although he was as sick as a ghost and as thin as wood, he had infinite strength, making a pair of iron hammers weighing eight hundred pounds, and riding a "ten thousand miles of smoke and clouds" under his crotch, traveling ten thousand a day and eight thousand at night.
How strong is Li Yuanba's combat effectiveness? In the Battle of Purple Mountain, Li Yuanba faced 1.85 million troops with a double hammer, and the two hammers were like flying flies, killing only 650,000 troops. Later, someone made a careful calculation, and Li Yuanba killed 1.2 million people in half a day, an average of 55 people per second.

In the commentary, Li Yuanba's death is also full of fatalism. At that time, Li Yuanba's master once told him that in the future, he must not hurt his life when he meets a person who uses boring, otherwise he will be punished by heaven. Later, Li Yuanba killed Wu Tianxi, who used mixed gold boring, at TianchangGuan. Soon after, he killed Yuwen Chengdu, who used phoenix-winged gilded boring, at Purple Mountain. After killing Yuwen Chengdu, the sky thundered, and the mad Li Yuanba angrily threw a hammer into the sky, but unexpectedly the hammer fell on his head and was killed instantly.

Originally, Yuwen Chengdu was the reincarnation of Wen Zhong, a famous general of the Shang Dynasty. In that year, after Wen Zhongfu's death, he was awarded the title of Nine Heavenly Yingyuan Thunder God Puhua Tianzun. Yuan Shi Tianzun told the Jade Emperor that Wen Zhong had died unjustly and should let him become emperor in the nether realm for three years. But at this time, the Buddha came out to stop it, saying that this thunder god Puhua Tianzun was grumpy and his nature was like a fierce fire, and he wanted to be the emperor, and his life was ruined, and he could not let him become the emperor, so what should he do? Let the golden-winged roc go down and take his dragon's life. This has the story of Li Yuanba killing Yuwen Chengdu, and Li Yuanba, who completed his mission, was also "taken back" by the heavens.
Although people know that li yuanba's people and his deeds are only in the story of the interpretation, it is precisely because the plot is too magical, leaving people with sufficient imagination space and being talked about by the world. The legendary Li Yuanba is very legendary, but in history, there are only a few accounts of Li Yuanba: Xuanba the Prince of Wei, the third son of Gaozu, hōng (meaning early death) childless, Wu Deyuan Nian, posthumously given to the King of Wei, Yu Yuehuai.
The historical Li Yuanba was originally named Li Xuanba, and during the Qing Dynasty, in order to avoid the name of the Kangxi Emperor Xuan Ye, he was changed to Li Yuanba in folk tales. Therefore, the historical Li Yuanba was just a royal family who died young.
