This story began in the Song Dynasty, passed through the Ming and Qing dynasties, and until today, it has been continuously interpreted by various cultural forms, and it is well known and widely circulated.

So what are the details of the story of Zhao Kuangyin sending Jingniang thousands of miles? Is it true that Zhao Kuangyin sent Jing niang thousands of miles, or is it the interpretation of posterity? Why did Zhao Kuangyin send Jing Niang thousands of miles?
And watch the editor take you into this legendary story that has been passed down through the ages.
Zhao Kuangyin sent Jing Niang thousands of miles
Regarding the story of Zhao Kuangyin sending Jingniang thousands of miles, the earliest source is the "Song Taizu Qianli Sending Jingniang" in the "Warning World Commentary" (one of the three words of "Three Words and Two Beats") compiled by the Ming Dynasty Feng Menglong. According to the "Cautionary Tales", this story took place before Zhao Kuangyin "became Tai".
Origin: Refers to a person's low status to high status.
Tai: Tai, one of the sixty-four gua, Tai Gua. The transition from bad luck to good luck.
The place of occurrence is in Taiyuan, Shanxi. Zhao Kuangyin escorted Jingniang all the way from Taiyuan, Shanxi to her hometown in Puzhou (present-day Yongji County), which was actually nine hundred miles (the ancients liked to say a rough idea, calling it a thousand miles).
The origin of the story:
When Zhao Kuangyin was young, he was not only strong in martial arts, but also loved to fight and hug. He was not accustomed to the Han Wei Emperor Liu Chengyou indulging in song and dance in Kaifeng, so he made a big fuss in the imperial garden, offended the Han Yin Emperor, and the whole country wanted him, and Zhao Kuangyin had to flee to the end of the world and fled to Shanxi.
The "Cautionary Tale" says: "The road is uneven, drawing a sword to help each other, is a nosy ancestor, and the one who hits the head is too old." First, he played the royal hook fence in Peijing City, made a disturbance in the royal garden, violated the Han Wei Emperor, and fled to the end of the world. ”
Zhao Kuangyin was in Shanxi and lived in a Taoist temple (Qingyou Temple) where his uncle Zhao Jingqing (a Taoist priest) lived. As a result, he accidentally found a girl locked up in the Qingyou Temple. This girl is also our heroine, she is seventeen years old, her name is Zhao Jingniang. Zhao Jingniang followed her father to Yangqu County to burn incense and make a wish, and on the way, she met two bandit leaders and kidnapped her (because Zhao Jingniang was very beautiful).

The "Cautionary Tale" reads: "The eyebrow sweeps the spring mountain, and the eyes cross the autumn water." With sorrow and hatred, it is like Xizi holding her heart; she wants to cry, like Yang Fei cutting her hair. The pipa is silent, and she is a concubine who has not yet been plugged; Hu Qian is a Cai girl with a clear and strong tone. Born with a kind of wind and current, that is, Danqing painting is not true. ”
Comparing this one beautiful woman with the four beauties of ancient times shows that Zhao Jingniang is a stunning woman with the posture of falling into the country.
Both of the robber leaders wanted to marry Zhao Jingniang, but they refused to give in. After consultation, they decided to grab another beautiful woman, so they temporarily kept Zhao Jingniang in the Qingyou Temple, and coerced the Taoist priests in the temple to take care of it carefully.
After learning the truth, Zhao Kuangyin smashed the Taoist Temple in a rage, rescued Zhao Jingniang, and decided to personally escort her back to her hometown in Puzhou.
Here, there is the widely circulated story of Zhao Kuangyin sending Jing niang thousands of miles.
When it comes to Zhao Kuangyin, everyone knows the story of Song Taizu sending Jing niang thousands of miles. So, is this widely circulated story true or fictionalized by posterity?

Eight words: dare not say the truth, do not dare to say false.
(1) The basic framework of the story is in line with historical facts, and the background of the whole story is in the period of the Han Yin Emperor after the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, which is in line with the historical facts recorded by Zhao Kuangyin.
(2) Song Dynasty notes record that Zhao Kuangyin served in Shanxi, and the Southern Song Dynasty poet Chen Shidao recorded in his notebook "Talking about the Mountains in the Back Mountains" that Zhao Kuangyin served as a town general in Taiyuan.
(3) Zhao Kuangyin went to Puzhou, which is Zhao Jingniang's hometown. The notes written by Zhu Mu, the uncle of the Song Dynasty master Zhu Xi, recorded in the "Old News of Qu Huan" that Zhao Kuangyin was very fond of drinking wine from Puzhou, Shanxi, and after becoming emperor, he regarded it as imperial wine. This shows that when Zhao Kuangyin was young, he must have lived in Puzhou and was very familiar with Puzhou's drinks.
(4) Zhao Kuangyin's character is basically consistent with the description in the story. In this story, it depicts a very characteristic character of Zhao Kuangyin - not greedy for women, which is very consistent with the historical Zhao Kuangyin. According to historical records, there are only more than two hundred palace women in Zhao Kuangyin's harem, and it should be known that the palace women in the Sui and Tang dynasties were tens of thousands of people at every turn, which shows that Zhao Kuangyin is indeed a person who is not greedy for women.
Based on the above four points, we can draw such a conclusion: we dare not say that this story is false, because there are many places in the story and the records of the literature and historical materials are common; but we also dare not say that it is true, because the heroine of the story, Zhao Jingniang, has no relevant records in the main history. If the heroine does not exist, it is worth our deep thinking.
Zhao Kuangyin sent Jing Niang thousands of miles
In order to facilitate walking, Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Jingniang were called brothers and sisters. On the way to escort Zhao Jingniang, Zhao Kuangyin encountered the two robber leaders who had kidnapped Jingniang. Zhao Kuangyin, who was jealous and hateful, and who was heroic and courageous, did not say a word, killed them all, and avenged Jingniang.
Zhao Jingniang was very grateful to Zhao Kuangyin for helping her, and in her heart she had already regarded Zhao Kuangyin as her reborn parent. The two followed each other all the way, and what Zhao Kuangyin did along the way made Zhao Jingniang deepen her understanding of the life-saving benefactor little by little, and gradually developed different feelings for Zhao Kuangyin, from the initial gratitude to the later like and admiration. Zhao Jingniang fell in love with the "hero" who saved him, and finally the seventeen-year-old Zhao Jingniang decided to marry Zhao Kuangyin.
The "Cautionary Tale" says: "Today the benefactor pulled out of the sea of suffering, walked thousands of miles to send each other, and avenged the concubines, and there was no trouble in the future." This grace is like a born-again parent, and there is no recompense. If you are not too ugly, you may prepare the number of beds and quilts, so that the concubines will have less to repay. I don't know if the benefactor will allow it? ”
Therefore, Zhao Jingniang bluntly expressed her intentions to Zhao Kuangyin and wanted to marry him. It was not easy for a seventeen-year-old girl in that era.
First of all, Zhao Jingniang is a stunning beauty, and secondly, she is very loving to Zhao Kuangyin. As the saying goes, men chase women, next to the mountain; women chase men, and layer paper. In the face of Zhao Jingniang's move, Zhao Kuangyin was overwhelmed at this moment, and a beautiful woman threw herself into his arms and hugged him, and wanted to marry him, and happiness came too suddenly. If it were an ordinary person, he would have agreed to it a long time ago. However, Zhao Kuangyin was not an ordinary person, he was going to become a king and an ancestor in the future, he rejected Zhao Jingniang, but he did not say a word he did not like.

Zhao Kuangyin said:
"Cautionary Tales": "Sister Xian! I met you in Pingshui, born to save each other, out of compassion, not greedy and beautiful. If they have the same surname as each other, it is difficult to marry, and brothers and sisters are commensurate, how can they be chaotic? ”
From this passage, it can be seen that Zhao Kuangyin rejected Zhao Jingniang for two reasons:
(1) Two people with the same surname, the same surname is not married.
(2) The two are already brothers and sisters, and this relationship cannot be chaotic.
This is the first stage of rejection, Zhao Kuangyin's reason for refusal is very clear, but he does not say that Zhao Kuangyin does not like you Zhao Jingniang.
In the second stage, as the two of them further accompanied each other, this reason gradually became untenable, and Zhao Kuangyin then said another reason, he said that I am the most righteous person in my life, and I only sent you home for the sake of teaching righteousness. Once I accept you, it is no different from the robbers of the world, and the heroes of the world, Haojie, will laugh at me, saying that I am hypocritical and vain, in order to covet beauty, so I can't accept it.
"Cautionary Tales": "Sister Xian, not a jiaozhu drummer, was originally a righteous qi on the inside of the walk to send." If you have a private affair today, how is it different from those two horses? Turning the former piece of sincerity into a fake, it makes the world's heroes laugh. ”
Let's look at Zhao Kuangyin's reasons, whether it is the same surname, whether it is a brother and sister, whether it is righteousness, whether it is a joke. All of these reasons are external. The highest reason, afraid of other people's jokes, is not that I don't like you, but that I am afraid that others will laugh at me.

Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin was indeed touched by Zhao Jingniang's beauty, but he could not accept this return from her, and his image of "chivalry" could not be lost.
He regards righteousness above all else, and he does not ask for anything in return for his kindness, and refuses to reciprocate; in the face of the embrace of the beauty, he looks like a tall image of "the hero does not love the beauty". You know, such as Liu Bang, Xiang Yu and others are facing the difficult problem of "whether to want the country or the mountains or the beauty", and this is generally difficult to decide, some people even want both the country and the mountains and the beauty, and Zhao Kuangyin is very simple, directly "do not love the beauty".
Although Zhao Kuangyin is very "heartwarming", in the end he still wants to "not love beauty", this move maintains his image of "heavy righteousness", so that the heroes of the world are praised by Haojie, which makes him famous and has a good reputation among the people of the world. That's what he needs now, and he can't ruin his great future because of his children's love, because he has a gap in his chest, and he still has to show his lofty ambitions.
Thousands of miles of escort, in the face of the beauty of the affectionate, Zhao Kuangyin was moved, but he could not accept the return of the beauty, he wanted to be the "hero does not love the beauty" of Zhao Kuangyin, rather than indulging in private love Zhao Kuangyin.

As he wrote in "Wing Sun": "If you want to come out of the light and spicy tart, thousands of mountains are like fire." Sue went up to the heavens, catching up with the remnants of the stars and catching up with the moon." In the words of the poem, his ambition to soar above the clouds is reflected, which can be described as full of atmosphere. He expressed his intentions through this poem, and he was full of ambition, how could his future ambitions be ruined because of the private feelings of his children.
What he Zhao Kuangyin wanted was such a tall image that he was jealous and hateful, acted righteously, was not greedy for women, and did not seek anything in return.
As everyone knows, this action of his buried the beautiful Zhao Jingniang.
