Who are Pan Jinlian and Wu Dalang in history?
The novel says that Pan Jinlian was originally W's maid. After being raped by W, W's wife married Wu Dalang, the ugliest person in the world! In the official history: Wu Dalang, whose real name is Wu Zhi, was born in Wujiana Village, Qinghe County, Shandong Province (now Hebei Province). Although Wu Zhi was born in poverty, he was brilliant and respected martial arts. Middle-aged scholar, became the county magistrate of yanggu county. Pan Jinlian is the daughter of Zhou Zhijia, who lives in Huangjinzhuang, 5 kilometers away from Wujiana Village 1.5. Historically, Wu and Pan lived in harmony and had four sons. Wu Dalang's tombstone inscription is the most powerful evidence: "Wu Gong did not dare to plant the word zero, but he was called Dalang when he was a child. In his later years, he respected Lao Si very much, and his wife Pan Shi was a noble family. Gong Zu lives in Jinyang County and is a descendant of Yin Wuding. Later, they moved to Kongsongzhuang in Qinghe County to settle down. The man died when he was young, just like his mother, and food and clothing were difficult. When I was young, I was smart. I admired literature and books. Middle-aged scholars, officials worship seven products, promote advantages and eliminate disadvantages, be honest and fair, and villagers gather all the people to worship with umbrellas. However, as the years passed, those famous festivals were vilified for no reason. The ancient tombs were destroyed and robbed, which made good men and women hate Jiuquan and lament martial arts to show their children and grandchildren. " The "Kongsongzhuang" in the inscription is Wujiana Village. It is not difficult to see that although Wu Dalang was born in poverty and experienced ups and downs, he was by no means a mediocre person selling kitchen cakes along the street. On the contrary, he is the parent who benefits from one side; But Pan Jinlian, the noble and virtuous wife of the county magistrate, was described by later generations as "the poor tailor's daughter who was sold as a prostitute at the age of nine", and was reviled as a beautiful slut for thousands of years, even more unjust than Dou E! According to the excavation of Wuzhi Tomb in 1946, Wu Dalang's actual height should be above 1.78 meters, so he can be regarded as a stalwart man. In addition, it should not be ignored that the scale of Wuzhi Tomb is relatively large, and the coffin is made of precious nanmu. Is this something ordinary people can do? Is it a funeral treatment that ordinary people can enjoy? Then, why did Wu and Pan's true colors suffer from the cruel "disfigurement" of history? According to the textual research of Wu Zhi's Twenty-four Sun Fu and other Wu descendants, there is another reason: Wu Zhi's family was poor in his early years and he was supported by his friends. After Wu Zhi became an official, this classmate from Wang Xing came all the way to Wu Zhi, hoping to get a position. But after living in the Wu family for half a year, he still didn't promote him as a clean Wu Zhi. He left without saying goodbye angrily. In order to vent his resentment, he also fabricated and posted all kinds of scandals about Wu and Pan on his way back to his hometown, and did his best to slander and destroy them (this may be the embryonic form of various stories in later generations). Ximen Qing, a local schoolyard bullies that Wu Zhi had offended before, was even more complicit, fanning the flames and adding fuel to the flames. Soon, all kinds of rumors about Wu and Pan spread all over the streets, with various versions, which greatly damaged his reputation. When Wang Xingxiu came home, he found that Wu Zhi had rebuilt the house and bought property. At this time, he felt very sorry for his behavior and frantically tore up the libel remarks posted along the street. However, once rumors spread, how to recover them? The literary works of later generations, whether Water Margin or Jin Ping Mei, are undoubtedly very successful in terms of literary creation itself, and their value and position in China's literary history are also very important. However, due to the need of creation or the arrangement of plots, it is impossible and unnecessary for the author to make a conclusive textual research on these hearsay story blueprints like historians. Therefore, while they have made great achievements in literary creation, they have also contributed to the spread of these "rumors" that were originally used to spread rumors and slander.
