Is there really a Huang Shigong as famous as Guiguzi in history?
The earliest related records appeared in Historical Records: A Family After My Concubine, but its description is too mysterious, which makes whether this character really exists controversial.

However, since it can appear in the official history, it shows that Huang Shigong, like Guiguzi, is a figure who has existed, but he has been too deified by people of all ages.

You must have heard the story.

Sean walked on Xiapi Bridge and met Huang Shigong. Huang Shigong deliberately threw his shoes under the bridge and ordered Sean to pick them up. Sean not only did this, but also helped Huang Shigong put on his shoes.

Huang Shigong and Sean agreed to meet on the bridge in the morning in five days.

When Sean arrived on the fifth day, Huang Shigong had been waiting for a long time. Huang Shigong accused Sean of being impolite and agreed to meet again when he left in five days.

This time, Sean was out early, but he was still one step behind Huang Shigong, so he had to wait for another five days.

Sean waited all night on the bridge, and Huang Shigong arrived soon, and gave him two books, The Art of War and A Brief Introduction to Huang Shigong.

Sean asked about Huang Shigong's name, and Huang Shigong only told Sean: "Thirteen years later, at the foot of the ancient city of northern Hebei, Huang Shigong will be me." Sean used the art of war to help Liu Bang clean up the space. Thirteen years later, he found Huangshi at the foot of the ancient city of northern Hebei, so he took back the ancestral temple for support.

Huang Shigong's related records not only appear in Historical Records, but also are included in Taoist Fairy Tales. He is also called Xiapi Renshen.

As for Huang Shigong's works, Zhang Shangying mentioned in the Preface to Su Shu of Song Dynasty that Huang Shigong gave Sean Su Shu, not The Art of War. After Sean's death, he was taken to the grave and was handed down to the world by a predestined friend.

In any case, Huang Shigong's mystery cannot be eliminated, but his allusions remain in the world.
