As for the image of Pan Jinlian, I think nine out of ten people think that she is the kind of woman in Water Margin or Jin Ping Mei. insatiability, with beautiful appearance, poisoned Wu Dalang in partnership with Ximen Qing, and ended up with a lasting legacy.

But what does the real Pan Jinlian look like? Next, I will analyze it for you.

1. Pan Jinlian in history

Pan Jinlian was born in a wealthy family, which is also considered as a darling daughter. Her father was a magistrate, and later he left office and started his own big dyeing house. At that time, this was a very profitable industry.

Before meeting Wu Zhi (the prototype of Wu Dalang), Pan Jinlian lived a happy life at home, but Wu Zhi, a poor boy, happened to go to the Pan family's dyehouse to start working and do some part-time jobs in order to earn money for his own study.

Wu Gong was afraid to plant the word Tian Ling. When he was a child, he was called Da Lang. In his later years, he respected and loved Si Lao. His wife, Pan Shi, was a noble family. -Wu Dalang Epitaph Because Wu Zhi is a burly young man and handsome, the key is to study well, be sensible and have great potential. In today's words, he is a potential stock, so Pan Jinlian's father thinks this young man is good, and Pan Jinlian is even more fascinated by Wu Zhi.

Later, Pan Jinlian's father and Wu Zhi agreed to betroth his daughter to him as long as he could get into Jinshi. Perhaps Wu Zhi was even more angry to get a beautiful wife. Sure enough, Pan Jinlian became Wu Zhi's wife as he wished, and the young couple lived happily ever after.

The turning point of events is that Wu Zhi accidentally made a friend with a villain, Huang Tang. When Huang Tang was down and out, he went to seek Wu Zhi's help. Unfortunately, Huang Tang didn't understand, thinking that Wu Zhi didn't want to help him, he left Wu Zhi's house to spread rumors that Wu Zhi's wife Pan Jinlian had seduced him or something. Everyone knows that at this time, Ximen Qing really came out with a grudge because he had been treated by Wu Zhi and said that Pan Jinlian was having an affair with himself.

This story was later written into Water Margin by Shi Naian. With the success of the novel, the image of Pan Jinlian became rigid and could not be changed, which led to the real Pan Jinlian being such a virtuous girl with yellow flowers. It was really sad and deplorable.

Second, event analysis

In fact, many real figures in history have deteriorated later, such as Zhuge Liang, celebrities, and later generations have been fascinated by it, which has affected our objective evaluation of real historical figures, and Li Chunfeng, Yuan Tiangang and others in the Tang Dynasty, who have been constantly fabricated and spread to us today, are no longer true.

The reason why we study history is that we hope to explore the real characters and the real stories that happened in the past through the layers of fog and the vague fragments of history, so as to give the parties a fair and objective evaluation, and not to exaggerate or belittle them too much. This is our original intention and ultimate goal.

Conclusion

Gossip is always enduring because of the novelty of its stories, but the truth itself may be forgotten because it is too plain, just like a cup of boiled water and a cup of coke. Although boiled water keeps you healthy, its taste is not enough for people to remember. Although coke is exciting, it also hurts people unintentionally.

People are like this. When you suddenly understand these truths one day, it is too late. But when we are going through this process, I think we can do more and better, and we can constantly adjust our vision and foresight, and see the essence through the surface of things. This is the real maturity!
