In China, the story of Yang Jiajiang is almost a household name. Among them, the Western Expedition of Twelve Widows is the highlight of the novel. Friends who like Beijing opera must also know that there is also a "Mu in command" in the classic repertoire of Beijing opera. Mu has become synonymous with female heroes in China. In fact, Mu Guiying is not the only one. The women in Tian Bo Dress are a group of heroes: they are centered on She Taijun, including seven daughters-in-law, their daughters, eight sisters and nine sisters, their granddaughter Mu, and maids. They are all good at martial arts and can fight well. On the stage, the female generals of Yangmen have distinct personalities, She Taijun is wily, calm and resolute, Chai Jun is good at restraint and consideration, and Yang Qiniang is frank, clear and prosperous ... Twelve Widows' Journey to the West, Hundred Years Old and Female Generals of Yangmen, featuring them, are all housekeeping dramas of Beijing Opera, Henan Opera and Shanxi Opera. So, do these strange girl, which have been circulated among the people for thousands of years, really exist in history? Looking through some historical materials, it is found that there is basically no dispute on this issue in the history circle: Yang Jiaquan was a male general in the Northern Song Dynasty, and as for the female general, except She Taijun and Mu, all the other figures were fictional. The article "Song" in Guangxu's "The Record of the Virtuous Women" said: "(Yang) began to be an official in the Northern Han Dynasty and was appointed as our ambassador, so he married Zhede? Female, later returned to Song, compound surname Yang. Min Hui, who has repeatedly made meritorious military service, is called invincible Yang. After Chen Gugu died, Pan Mei and Wang Shen were afraid of their crimes and wanted to cover up their affairs, so they discounted their reasons for being killed in hard fighting, so they cut off their titles and removed them from the people. " And "The History of Baodezhou", Volume 8, "People and Martyrs": "When Song Yongan's army is defeated, will the town government and the state be defeated? Female, the wife of Yang Ye, the secretariat of Daizhou. Sexual vigilance, taste the meritorious military service. Ten years of peace and rejuvenating the country, the Khitan invaded it and moved to Chenjiagukou. Without reinforcements, he was forced to be captured and died with his son Yu Yan. Taijun wrote that Chen Fuzhan failed, and Wang Shen won the credit for violating the system. I deeply regretted it and gave it to Ye Taiwei, except Wang Shen. " Just like her Yin. People who believe in these historical materials believe that She Taijun evolved from folds. However, these historical materials appeared too late, among which the Record of Clan Xianfu, which was revised in the tenth year of Guangxu, was even more difficult to convince the public. And its treatment of Pan Mei is also inconsistent with the history of Song Dynasty. Historical materials about Mu are also very limited. The relationship between Mu and his husband and wife first appeared in Xu Dalong's Record of the Embers in the early Yuan Dynasty. This book is half true and half false, and it is hard to believe in history. There is also news that someone in the Yang family married the daughter-in-law of the Murong family. Mr. Murong is a Xianbei nationality, and is a family with Mr. Murong in Gusu in Jin Yong's novels. It was explained that Murong later evolved into Mu. There is not enough evidence to convince others of this statement. Because there are no female generals in history. So where did this popular legend in China come from? According to textual research, the image of Yangmen female generals first appeared in the works of the Yuan Dynasty, and in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, their scenes became more and more important and gradually became the protagonists of the story. It can be seen that the emergence and development of Yangmen female generals was in the period of Han nationality's foreign aggression and oppression. I think this objective historical condition can also explain why there are so many great female heroes in a patriarchal society, and they are known as national heroes. In China, since the Chinese civilization entered the patriarchal society, male groups have been the fundamental driving force for the development of a country and society, and they have also become irreplaceable defenders of this Han society, shouldering the heavy responsibility of resisting foreign invasion and striving to maintain the stable operation of the state machine. However, after the Song Dynasty, the defensive ability of the male group seems to be getting weaker and weaker. Faced with the invasion of Liao, Xixia and later Jin and Yuan Dynasties, these defenders hardly dared to fight, and China's agricultural civilization was in jeopardy. At this time, the whole society began to doubt the ability of male groups to defend the country, social stability and national survival. Men's long-standing position as the foundation of society began to shake (at least temporarily). However, under the feudal autocratic system at that time and under the influence of the national culture that men were superior to women, it was doomed that only men were qualified (but not necessarily capable) to undertake the heavy responsibility of defending national interests. However, with the repeated foreign invasions and the demise of the Han Dynasty, people living under the iron hoof of foreign suspicion of male groups gradually turned into pessimism and disappointment. When reality tells them that there is no way out, people will look for a savior in spirit and find a soul sustenance that can be accepted by most people. In this way, the image of Yangmen female general was released. It can be said that their indomitable fighting spirit in the story is the last integrity of a nation without a male subject in its dying struggle. Therefore, the appearance of the literary image group of Yangmen women generals is not accidental, but inevitable. They reflect the last utopian hope of the middle and lower classes for a country that is poor and weak, with internal troubles and foreign invasion. All this not only shows the fierceness of resistance, but also humiliates those in power. It is the last cry of a nation under the rule of dark feudalism for a long time. Therefore, the appearance of female generals in Yangmen is definitely the sorrow of our nation. They are the last helpless choice of our nation and the last integrity of our nation. /new/ Xiao Yuan /xywx_content.asp?

Personally, I don't think there is such a story in history, otherwise how could such a famous story not be recorded?
