Our country has a history of 5000 years. In these 5000 years, there are all kinds of figures. Nowadays, people have done a lot of expansion to historical figures for all kinds of entertainment, and even invented a lot of things about them. Because of the appearance of novels in Ming and Qing dynasties, there were many fictional characters, and now it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.
I'm afraid only some ancient books handed down from ancient times can solve the mystery. Therefore, the popular unofficial history is similar to TV series, and there is basically no historical reference. They are also written for the interest of the audience and unofficial history fans. That's why there are historical figures who didn't exist before. Pure fiction, especially in the Ming and Qing dynasties, there were many people who did not exist in the official history. Today we will talk about four people who don't exist in history, but we always think that they exist.
First place: the story of Diusim, the face of the whole city. During the Three Kingdoms period, Diusim's story was one of the "four ancient beauties". Diusim's story is the adopted daughter of Wang Yun in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and later Wang Yun used him to capture Lu Bu's heart. The story of diusim, in order to repay his adoptive father's kindness in raising him and save the nation, is willing to devote himself to Dong Zhuo. But it doesn't exist in the official history. It is recorded in the official history that Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo had an affair with a maid. Dong Zhuo flew into a rage until later and almost killed them. Since then, there has been a gap between them. Wang Yun used this contradiction to provoke them, and the maid gradually evolved into the story of Diusim.
The second one: the Eight Immortals. Zhao Fangde, the Eight Sages King, was a figure in the Song Dynasty. Everyone may know Bao Zheng better, because in Bao Qingtian, he is an honest man who is not afraid of powerful people. Because of his high position in the play, he can punish the traitor by hitting the king with a golden hoop stick, which makes the audience like it very much. This lovable character is not real but fictional, because if he is real, there should be no record about him in the official history.
Thirdly, we want to talk about Mu Guiying. As for Mu, we know that she is a famous female general in the Song Dynasty, who is proficient in martial arts and is also proficient in arranging troops. And according to legend, a goddess taught her how to fly a knife with an Excalibur. She has made great contributions on the battlefield, and we know her through many operas and film and television works, but there is no such person as Mu in the history books of the Song Dynasty.
This last one is more familiar to everyone, and that is Mulan. The story of Mulan joining the army as her father is a household name. Her deeds appear in our textbooks and are studied. Her spirit of bravely resisting foreign aggression constantly infects us. Her story can be said that we all know it backwards. But I'm sorry, Mulan doesn't exist in the mountain of history, and I can't find a word of Mulan in the official history.
However, Mulan is quite unique. She is recorded in unofficial history. It is recorded that she was born in 4 12 and died in 502. This may be the prototype of Mulan. Many historians will inevitably add their own subjective colors when recording history, so we must strengthen screening when looking at history. Well, that's all for today.
