Fan Lihua, a tang Dynasty Zhenguan dynasty, one of the four heroines of ancient China, she is well known for her story of quelling the chaos in the northwest and sharing the sand field with Xue Dingshan, and has a far-reaching influence in later generations. Its legendary stories have been expressed in various forms of literary and artistic works, especially films, TELEVISION series, song and dance dramas, etc., which are typical images of heroes in ancient China. Fan Lihua, who is recorded in China's local history and the history of the palm of the past, is a Tang Dynasty strange woman who dares to love and hate, has a broad heart, and is a soldier and horse marshal with high martial arts, vast divine powers, and all-round talents in literature and martial arts.
Fan Lihua (樊利花), a native of the Zhenguan dynasty of Emperor Taizong of Tang, whose father Fan Hong was the lord of the Hanjiang Pass in the Western Turks, later defected to The Tang Dynasty (Fan's father was originally a Sui general and returned to the Turks). Fan Lihua was wise and courageous, and her beauty was exquisite, and she married Xue Dingshan as his wife, assisted Xue Dingshan to ascend to the altar and take command, conquered the south and the north, and was invincible. In folklore, she is a Tang Dynasty lady who dares to love and hate, has a broad heart, and is a soldier and horse marshal with high martial arts, vast divine powers, and all-round talents in literature and martial arts. The story of his life has been expressed in a variety of literary and artistic works, such as television dramas, movies, song and dance dramas. And widely used in folk Taoist temples to worship the gods to this day.
Fan Lihua was one of the four heroes of ancient China. Compared with Hua Mulan, Mu Guiying, and Liang Hongyu, the mythological color on her body seems to be stronger. When "Speaking of Tang" and "Xue Jiajun" tell the story of Xue Dingshan's conquest of the west, without exception, they must talk about such an ancient woman who is full of rebellious spirit and dares to boldly pursue ideal love.
The story tells that during the Tang Dynasty, that is, after Tang Taizong Li Shimin ascended the throne of the Tang Dynasty, some small northwestern countries such as the Western Liang Kingdom, centered on Wuwei in Gansu, were unwilling to accept the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty and confronted the Tang Dynasty by force. To this end, Tang Taizong Li Shimin decided to send Xue Rengui to consult, and all the legends about Fan Pear Blossom occurred in such a historical background.

Marshal Fan, commonly known as Fan Lihua, was xue Dingshan's wife. She has been learning art with her old mother in Lishan since she was a child, which lasted for eight years and is highly skilled in martial arts. She was the mainstay of the Xue family's father and son's conquest of the west, and her embroidered sword was unmatched. After Xue Rengui's death, he succeeded him as grand marshal of the Western Expedition, and finally reached the chaos of Western Liang, and because of his meritorious service, Emperor Gaozong of Tang was given the title of Marquis of Weining and Lady Yipin of Zhenguo.
Fan Lihua's artistic image of taking into account the overall situation, being intelligent and brave, and being loyal to love has become more and more distinct and plump and widely circulated after continuous reprocessing and re-creation of folk legends, raps, and interpretations, and is a typical image of the hero of classical Chinese literature.
The story of Xue Dingshan and Fan Lihua is set against the background of the pacification of the northwestern border chaos during the Tang Zhenguan years, and describes a magnificent picture of the warm-blooded children who calm the chaotic border and swing on the battlefield. Among them, Xue Dingshan Sanzhu Fan Lihua is the most popular, and is widely sung and circulated by art forms such as opera and quyi. In the 1980s, he completed the Yu opera film "Fan Lihua", and in 2000, CCTV completed the Northeast local opera art TV series "Three Please Fan Lihua", such as

Now it has been filmed into a TV series by TV people from Hong Kong and Taiwan, which makes the artistic carrier of the story more abundant.
Today we heard the commentary version of "Xue Jiajian", and then looked at the original "Three Biographies of Tang Dynasty", as if in another life. Only Fan Lihua, who was left behind in the original work, grew into a true soul figure of the Xue family. "Fate, what can I do?" So bold! Therefore, Fan Lihua is also the only quintessential figure who has contributed to Chinese culture in the early Tang legends compiled by "Speaking of the Later Tang Dynasty" and "The Third Biography of the Tang Dynasty".
Fan Lihua is beautiful and incomparable, the highest in martial arts, and invincible in the world; although he has been humiliated and wronged, he affirms his great righteousness, takes into account the overall situation, and repays his grievances with virtue. Her image is extraordinary, beautiful, and profound, only because her son Xue Gang was drunk and killed the crown prince at night, Tang Gaozong was executed by order of Wu Zetian, which also led to the later Xue Gang anti-Tang.
The image of Fan Lihua first originated in the Tang Dynasty, appeared in the history of barnyard history in various places, and was widely circulated throughout the country in the form of legends and scripts in later dynasties. During the Qing Dynasty and the Qianlong Dynasty, the relics of the Qianlong Dynasty were compiled into a historical novel "The Three Biographies of tang", also known as "The Complete Biography of Xue Dingshan's Conquest of The Western Fan Pear Flower", which was also known as the "Complete Biography of zhengxi"; for example, The Complete Biography of the Anti-Tang Dynasty was compiled by Lian Jushi into the "Complete Biography of the Anti-Tang Dynasty", which was collected in the Scripture Hall.
"The Complete Biography of Zhengxi", the book narrates the story of Fan Lihua and Xue Dingshan's immediate engagement and Xue Dingshan's three hughes and three invitations to Fan Lihua, which left a deep impression on the people, so it has a great influence on the folk, and some plays in the opera are based on this, such as "Hanjiang Guan", "Immediate Edge", "Three Hughes and Three Invitations Fan Pear Blossom", "Sister-in-law Hero", "Pear Blossom Hanging Commander", "Pear Blossom Patrol Camp", etc., the storyline is ups and downs, fascinating, and the related plays have been performed on the stage so far.
Peking Opera, Wu Opera, Yu Opera, Yue Opera, Qin Opera, Cantonese Opera, Kun Opera, Huangmei Opera, Gezai Opera and other dramas all have traditional versions of the play.

There is such a phenomenon in the Ming and Qing dynasties, many historical and heroic legends are collected from folk oral legends, created and processed by the literati as desk readings, and then borrowed by the vast number of rap artists in the city as a script, orally taught and passed down from generation to generation, and later some people sorted out "storytelling novels" and published them in pure prose form. In the process of folk interpretation, miscellaneous rap, and then to "storytelling novel", the storyline has been refined, and the character image has become more and more plump. Among the many storytelling novels about the story of Fan Lihua, the reprocessing and creation of Fan Lihua's image shaping by the famous Xihe drum master Huang Peizhu is the most representative
