I believe that many of us have watched the TV series "Water Margin", he tells the story of the Song Dynasty, the emperor fainted and trusted the traitors, the people lived in hardship, people were forced to resist when they were cornered, 108 good men gathered on Liangshan, and after the Song River surrendered to the imperial court, the uprising failed.
We should all know that Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian in the play, in modern times, if a woman cheats, this woman will be called Pan Jinlian, and as a husband, it is Wu Dalang. We all think that Pan Jinlian is a watery Yanghua woman, Wu Dalang as a person who sells cooking cakes for a living, poor and ugly, his wife and his mistress Ximen Qing killed him.
In fact, the things between Pan Jinlian and Wu Dalang in the TV series are not true, the real fact is that Wu Dalang has been brilliant and capable since childhood. The two got married because Pan Jinlian's father Pan Zhizhou had given Wu Dalang money to help him complete his studies, and after Wu Dalang won high school, Pan Zhizhou's daughter Pan Jinlian and he were even more talented and beautiful, very well matched, and the two were happily married and blessed by many people.
Pan Jinlian is also a virtuous and quiet person, a very virtuous person, a real big girl, and has been very famous in the local area since she was a girl. The two also had 4 children, a happy and happy life, and joined hands to whiteheads, but novels and TV series blackened the two, and the world thought that the two were not good people.
In the 1990s in Qinghe County, Xingtai, Hebei Province, people discovered Wu Dalang's ancestral hall from a small village in Wujiana Village, and experts solved a scam that lasted for 600 years after understanding it. The crowd found wu dalang's tombstone, which had an epitaph on it, which truly recorded the life of Wu Dalang.
The epitaph states to the effect that his height is at least 1 meter 8 or more, not the height of "three inches of Ding, valley bark" written in the Water Margin. His original name was Wu Zhi, who was intelligent and studious since childhood, and after high school, he was a clean and honest official, and did practical things for the people; his wife Pan Jinlian was a "derailed" image that everyone was not referring to by a thousand husbands.
As for why Wu Dalang left such a bad image to the world, part of the reason is because when Wu Dalang participated in the scientific expedition, he met a person named Huang Tang. However, he did not go to high school like Wu Dalang, and later he defected to his friend Wu Dalang and wanted to obtain an official position through his rights, but Wu Dalang did not help him complete this.
Wu Dalang was incorruptible all his life and did not want to seek personal interests for others, but he was not a person who did not miss his old feelings. Wu Dalang helped Huang Tang build a new house at home, and left him two silver so that he could live smoothly, but unfortunately it was too late. Shi Nai'an, the author of the novel "Water Margin", wrote the two into the novel against the background of rumors.
Huang Tang can say that what he did was really a villainous act, and he had known Wu Dalang for many years, and just because one thing did not satisfy his wishes, he took revenge on Wu Dalang and his daughter-in-law to this point, so that the image of Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian was so presented in the eyes of the world.
After the angry Huang Tang returned to his hometown, he described Wu Dalang as a three-inch figure, and asked people to post portraits of Wu Dalang and his wife with deceptive nature along the way. After Huang Tang knew what Wu Dalang had done for him, he felt very regretful and wanted to take back all the pictures posted, but it was too late.
Everyone will think, what is the relationship between Wu Dalang and Ximen Qing? In fact, when Wu Dalang was doing the county order after high school, there was a local person who sold cooking cakes surnamed "Wu", Ximen Qing saw that this person's business was very good, he wanted to occupy the "Wu" boss's cooking cake shop, but the stall owner was definitely unwilling, he sued Ximen Qing to Yamen, coincidentally Wu Dalang was the official who tried this case, Wu Dalang after understanding the matter, he beat Ximen Qing badly.
Since then, Ximen Qing has a lot of opinions about Wu Dalang, and when he heard the rumors fabricated by Brown Sugar, he orchestrated the affairs of Wu Dalang and his wife Pan Jinlian. This cake seller also happened to be the image of a three-inch Ding, everything was so coincidental, the image of Wu Dalang as an official became an obscene and indecent image, and the image of his wife's bridesmaid became the image of a derailment with Ximen Qing who killed her husband and then ran away.
Summary: Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian in real life are not the images in novels and TV series, we must distinguish between facts and rumors in the future, novels are novels, reality is reality, and we must respect those real people in history.
