Many TV dramas have created stereotypes about historical figures, especially more and more TV series related to the Qing Dynasty, and people are easily influenced by TV dramas for historical figures in the Qing Dynasty. For example, Yongzheng in "The Biography of Zhen Huan" and Yongzheng in "Step by Step" and "Gong Suo Xin Yu" all make people feel different. But the real them in history are likely to be far from what is depicted in the TV series. Today I want to talk about a historical figure who seems to be familiar to everyone, but is likely to be misunderstood, he is Ji Xiaolan. I believe that most readers are because of the "Iron Tooth Copper Tooth Ji Xiaolan" tv series to know Ji Xiaolan, so what does the real Ji Xiaolan look like in history?

Ji Xiaolan is actually a real person in history, but in more formal occasions or records, he appears under Ji Yun's name. Ji Yun was a very famous literati in the Qing Dynasty, and there are indeed many legends about Ji Yun in the folk, so he will become the key character depicted in the TV series. Speaking of Ji Xiaolan, everyone will inevitably think of Hezhen again, in fact, the images of these two people are far from those depicted in the TV series. In the TV series, Ji Xiaolan is a clear and good person, he has good qualities, and is a kind minister image. And he is still such a humorous person, which makes his character image more full.
In order to enhance the comedic effect in the TV series, it is necessary to have such a relative character as Hezhen. Villains tend to appear thinner in TV series, and Washu becomes the image of a jester. He Yan will lose the battle with Ji Xiaolan every time. In folk and TV dramas, He Yan and Ji Xiaolan always appear in pairs, so is this the real situation? In fact, the status of he and Ji Yun was relatively different, one was the governor and the other was only a petty official, and the intersection between them was actually not much.
Compared with Ji Yun, He Yan just went to the official field as the minister of management, and it did not take long to become a household attendant, and then became a military minister, all the way can be said to be smooth sailing, smooth steps. During the Qianlong period, Ji Yun was a big figure who turned clouds and rains, and Ji Yun was only a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and later became a soldier's attendant, and Ji Yun's official position did not surpass that of He yan. From the perspective of official positions, Ji Yun and He Yan were not on the same level at all. He Yan is also not a clown image like the TV series, but a personable one, and good at guessing people's hearts.

When it comes to Ji Xiaolan, people will describe him with eloquence. In fact, Ji Xiaolan is not a person with sharp teeth, and even speaks a bit of a stutter. Due to myopia, Ji Xiaolan is not as shrewd as she appears on the TV series. However, Ji Xiaolan was indeed a person with real talent and practical learning, during the Qianlong years, in fact, Ji Yun had never been reused, but Qianlong had always taken him with him, also because he had the ability. Ji Yun's greatest achievement is probably the editor-in-chief of the Siku Quanshu, and he himself created a very important book, "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang". This book is similar to "Liaozhai Zhiyi", which is about ghost legends and is also a very interesting and important book.
The Qianlong Emperor was very fond of pairs and often wrote poems. Ji Xiaolan often paired Qianlong, and once said that he could match any pair. Once Qianlong issued a sentence "Wisdom multi-star partial Wu use", obviously based on the title of "Water Margin", Wu used the name harmonic "useless". The pair given by Ji Xiaolan is "Timely Rain Just Song Jiang", which is also a harmonic pronunciation of "Song Jiang" with the name of Song Jiang. The battle was perfect, showing Ji Xiaolan's literary skills. The real Ji Xiaolan is not sharp-toothed, but has a stutter, or a big soldier, and has never become a university scholar in his life.
In real history, Ji Xiaolan was 25 years older than He yan, and Ji Xiaolan was already fifty years old when he entered the dynasty as an official. As an experienced official, Ji Xiaolan maintained his principle of being an official, never participated in various small groups, and did his part well. Ji Xiaolan's main character is the compilation of the "Four Libraries Of The Whole Book", and during his work he was very conscientious and responsible, sometimes even to the point of forgetting to eat and sleep. Until the late Qianlong period, Ji Xiaolan became a Rebbe Shangshu, but at that time he was already very old.
After the Jiaqing Emperor ascended the throne, the most urgent task was to deal with corrupt officials like Hezhen. Fortunately, Ji Xiaolan has always maintained integrity and integrity, and he has not been very concerned about the affairs of the imperial court, and Ji Xiaolan's image is still a literati image. After He yan and others were purged, Ji Xiaolan became the crown prince Shaobao, and the inscription after Ji Xiaolan's death was also written by the Jiaqing Emperor himself. Although many of the plots in the TV series are fictional, it is also the TV series that makes Ji Xiaolan a historical figure that people know.
