Starting from the literary novel "Saying the Complete Biography of Yue Yue", Yue Fei's mother-in-law carved four big characters on Yue Fei's back, and once Yue Fei was mentioned in later generations, what must come to mind was the four words of Jing Zhong bao guo and this legend, just like the truth.
So was this novel of the Qing Dynasty made up out of thin air? Nor is it. First of all, in the books and records of the Song Dynasty, especially Yue Fei's grandson collected the glorious deeds of his grandfather and synthesized as many as fifty-eight volumes of the "Jin Tuo Zhi Compilation" and the "Continuation of the Golden Camel", even the sun tzu records of the era shortly after, the grandfather's glorious "deeds" were not written, and the contemporary written materials and opera scripts were not related to the thorn characters.
The historians of the Yuan Dynasty are one of the main creators of this story, especially the Yuan Dynasty Minister is also the editor-in-chief of the "History of Song", in the biography of Yue Fei, Qin Juniper is looking for someone to kick Yue Fei, Yue Fei angrily cracked his clothes, showing the four big characters behind the loyal to the country that go deep into the flesh, the scene is so magnificent and exciting. At the same time, there is also the same record in the biography of He Zhu, He Zhu is one of the chief judges who tried Yue Fei, he saw this scene, he can only say that the Yuan Shiguan made up the story is still continuous, pay attention to the echo of the beginning and end, but they know that the more loyal and righteous the hero is rendered, the greater the people's resentment against the former dynasty that killed the hero.
In the Qing Dynasty, QianCai began to continue this story, and added branches and leaves, invited the protagonist's mother-in-law to do this thing, and directly linked "loyalty" and "filial piety", when loyalty and filial piety are contradictory, this side of filial piety will encourage you to be loyal to the country, which is very in line with the main theme at that time.
So what is the basis of this story? In fact, it is the system of "stabbing for soldiers" in the Song Dynasty, starting from the fifth dynasty of the Tang Dynasty, recruiting soldiers to tattoo on the face to prevent escape, and also has a recognizable role. Wasn't Di Qing, a famous general of the Northern Song Dynasty, a general of Nirvana? It shows that he started from the low-level creeps.
When it came to Fan Zhongyun, the tattoo was too insulting to dignity on the face, and it was not good to go home and be intimate with his wife, so Fan Zhongyun reformed this system, the soldiers were stabbed on the back of their hands and arms, and when they lifted the sleeves, they could identify that it was the troop, you stabbed a large piece on the back, first, the technology was immature, the tetanus mortality rate was very high, second, you were behind it, how did others see it, and it was too mysterious to instantly crack the clothes.
In the end, why the tattoo is still a technical work, cultural life, Water Margin inside to Lin Chong, Yang Zhi tattoo are looking for a literary and ink craftsman to stab, the mother-in-law can casually grab people's business, indeed anti-science, that era women are not easy to read, to stab more exaggerated, so this kind of small story is a laugh, but it is still quite interesting to examine, we see a story it is based on the basis of reality and the process of creating step by step.
