It is said that during the Tang Dynasty in China, there was a man named Wang Han in the Taiyuan area.

Wang Han served as a general in the Zhenwu Army.

Wang Han's mother, surnamed Jin, was originally the daughter of the Hu family and was good at riding horses and archery.

The Kim clan once rode on a strong horse, with a bow on his arm and an arrow tied around his waist, into the mountains, hunting bears, deer, foxes, rabbits and other animals, and hunting a lot of prey, so the northerners living in the area were all jealous of Kim's ability and admired the Kim clan.

Later, when the Jin family was in his seventies, due to old age and illness, he lived alone in a room, expelled the slave from the room, and did not allow the slave to easily approach his side.

The Kim clan often became angry and beat their family slaves with a staff.

Later, one night, the Jin family closed the doors and windows of the room, the Wang family suddenly heard the sound of objects in the room rubbing against each other, so the Wang family approached the room to secretly observe, saw a wolf in the room open the door and walked out, it was almost dawn, the wolf came back from the outside, entered the room and closed the door.

The Wang family was very frightened and informed Wang Han of the specific situation.

That night, Wang Han hid and secretly observed through the gap that the situation was indeed as the Wang family had said, and Wang Han was sad and afraid and could not rest on his own.

At dawn, the Jin clan summoned Wang Han and ordered him to go to the market to buy elk.

Wang Han bought cooked elk meat to be offered to the Kim family, who said: What I need is raw elk meat.

Therefore, Wang Han bought raw elk meat and put it in front of The Kim family, and the Kim family ate all the raw elk meat.

Wang Han was even more frightened, and some people in the Wang family secretly discussed this matter in private, and when the Jin family heard it, their faces were very ashamed.

That night, the Kim family closed the doors and windows of the room again, and the Wang family was secretly observing, and the Wang family saw that a wolf broke the door and walked out, and since then, the wolf has not returned.

Some people say that the Zhenwu army in the story is roughly stationed in the city of Hohhot in the area of present-day Inner Mongolia, China.

Some say that the legend of the Queen Mother Kim turning into a wolf in the story may have some connection with the legends of some of the nomadic tribes living in the area at that time.

This story is from the Chronicle of the Xuanmu.
