In Zuo Zhuan, the story of remembering Liang's wife was first recorded. "Remember beam in junan, later died. The body was transported back to Qi and mourned outside the city gate. However, I remember that Mrs. Liang strongly disagreed. She said, "How did Ji Liang die? If he makes a mistake, don't bring his body back at all. If there is no mistake, remembering Liang died for the country, then it should be possible to pay homage at the ancestral temple. "So, Qi Zhuanggong officially held a ceremony according to the regulations." There was no record of "crying".
The story of Meng Jiangnu crying on the Great Wall took place at the foot of the Great Wall in Wan Li, northern Hebei. According to legend, when Qin Shihuang was born, Fan Xiliang and Meng Jiangnv were a talented and happy couple. However, they have only been married for three days, and there is a strict order on it: every male family should work hard to build the Great Wall of Wan Li!
The groom Fan Xiliang turned around step by step and left his new wife Meng Jiangnv. Meng Jiangnv looked forward to hearing from her husband day and night, but there was no news. It was freezing, thinking that my husband didn't even bring a cotton-padded coat, I hurried to work and put on a cotton-padded coat to find him. A weak woman went through a lot of hardships on the road and tasted her eyes. When she reached the foot of the Great Wall, she was in rags and exhausted. She looked for her husband everywhere, but she couldn't find him.
Who knows, her husband Fan Xiliang was buried under the Great Wall not long ago because of hunger, cold and fatigue ... Wan Li found her husband, but got such bad news. She cried for three days and nights, and the world was moved by it. The Great Wall burst-Fan Xiliang's body was revealed, and Meng Jiangnu died of despair after seeing it.
The ethnic contradictions in Yuan Dynasty became increasingly sharp and antagonistic, and the vigorous development of folk drama provided an important channel for the psychological demands of ordinary people. It is also in these continuous creative processes that Meng Jiangnv's story has been continuously processed and popularized, so that the original "Qi Liang" has gradually become "Fan Xiliang", and there is another saying that it has become "Wan Xiliang" as the subject said. Both of them are homophonic, so it is difficult to verify the authenticity.
The Ming Dynasty overhauled the Great Wall and strengthened the border defense, and the people could not help but complain bitterly. The story of Meng Jiangnv once again won the voice of the public, which objectively promoted the spread of Meng Jiangnv's story again.
