Wu Dalang, whose real name is Wu Zhi, was born in poverty after his parents died young. Wu Zhi's tomb has long been excavated. According to scientific tests, it is at least 1.8 meters high!
There are legends of Wu Dalang, Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing in the Ming Dynasty. But the real three people in history are very different from the three people in the water margin that we are familiar with.
First of all, Wu Dalang is not short, but also a magnificent seven-foot man. Wu Dalang, whose real name is Wu Zhi, was born in poverty after his parents died young. Wu Zhi's tomb has long been excavated. According to scientific tests, it is at least 1.8 meters high! Today, the height of 1.8 meters is enviable. Hundreds of years ago, the average height of people was much shorter than it is now. It is conceivable that Wu Dalang's height was impressive at that time!
The real Wu Dalang, who can't cook sesame cakes, is just a scholar who is "good at reading". He was clever since childhood and studied hard at a cold window for many years. Finally, he won the Jinshi and became a county magistrate. Therefore, Wu Dalang is not a dwarf selling kitchen cakes, but a tall official. Moreover, during his tenure, he promoted the advantages and eliminated the disadvantages, was honest and clean, and did many good things for the people.
Not only Wu Dalang, but also Pan Jinlian was wronged. In fact, the real Pan Jinlian is a good girl. Born in a noble family, well-educated, knowledgeable and loyal to Wu Dalang. Long before Wu Dalang became a scholar, Pan Jinlian secretly helped him regardless of his family's opposition. Later, Wu Dalang became the number one scholar, and this marriage naturally had a happy ending.
Since Wu Dalang is tall, handsome and talented, and Pan Jinlian is virtuous and virtuous, how did he become the Water Margin? All this has to do with careless friends.
When Wu Dalang's family was poor, he got help from his good friend Huang Tang. Later, Huang Tang's house was burned down, so he took refuge in Wu Dalang, who had become a county magistrate. This Huang Tang thought: "Everyone who helped Wu Dalang said it was a drop of water, which should be the report of a spring." . Now, he is ungrateful for his promotion and wealth.
Who knows, those days when I lived in Wu Dalang Palace, I was treated with good wine and good food, so I won't talk about the funds. Huang Tang is holding his breath. Even if he doesn't find a job for himself, he won't even fund the reconstruction of the house. What's this, man? So Huang Tang took revenge.
Throughout the ages, the most common means of revenge are nothing more than those tricks, one of which is to discredit rumors and discredit reputation! On the way back, Huang Tang spread the "scandal" of Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian everywhere. Finally, he felt that it was not enough to talk with his mouth, so he wrote it on paper and posted "posters" everywhere. Sure enough, as a result, Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian suddenly became the focus.
At this point, Ximen Qing also appeared in due course. Ximen Qing is a rogue, afraid that the world will not be chaotic. After seeing Huang Tang discrediting Wu Dalang, he decided to give Huang Tang advice. Finally, this guy also "sacrificed" himself, making himself a "man's mistress" in the rumor, and wrote a series of absurd songs with you women. Of course, this is just Ximen Qing's wishful thinking. Ximen Qing in reality is a rogue, and women are disgusted with this person!
And the party Wu Dalang is still in the dark. But Huang Tang, the initiator, returned home only to find that a new house had been built at home. His wife told him that Wu Zhi sent someone to build it! Now, the heart of guilt is like the Yellow River burst its banks and gushed out. Wu Zhi originally wanted to surprise Huang Tang, but he was already "surprised" before he started to be "happy"!
It is easier to spread rumors than to destroy them. Rumors spread from mouth to mouth, and finally even Shi Naian, a great genius, believed them, so he wrote them into Water Margin. In this way, Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian can't turn over!
This unjust case is reflected in Shi Naian's later generations' poems of apology, and also confirmed in Wu Dalang's own epitaph. It seems that once you make friends carelessly, it is really possible to be "remembered forever" for no reason!
