Creative background:

Jiang Ziya's theory of beheading a general has long been told by poets, and the story of beheading a general took shape with the publication of Wu Wang's beheading Pinghua in Yuan Dynasty. There is an intermediate link from "Wu Wang Pingping Dialect" to "Shen Feng Yi Yan".

It is a biography compiled by Yu in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, which uses a lot of folklore to further deduce and expand the story.

Wu Wang's Pinghua and Biography of Legendary Kingdom provide a general plot framework, some characters and plot units for the Romance of the Gods. On the basis of predecessors' creation and folklore, Xu et al. wrote The Romance of Ghosts and Ghosts.

Liang Zhangju quoted Lin Yueting in the seventh volume of Notes on Returning to the Field: Once upon a time, there was a scholar whose eldest daughter ran out of money when she got married, so his second daughter was very upset. The scholar comforted her not to worry.

Later, according to the words "Only you have gods, you can give them to each other" in Shangshu Wucheng Pian, I perfunctorily wrote a book called "Biography of the Gods" for my second daughter as his dowry. After the second son-in-law published and sold the manuscript, she gained a lot of wealth.

However, Liang Zhangju's statement in his Biography of Six Heroes is very bad. He still used Lin Yueting's words to say that The Romance of the Gods was written by a well-read Confucian scholar in the Ming Dynasty, which was originally the third largest among The Journey to the West and The Water Margin.

There are two views, one is that the author is for profit, and the other is that the author signs. It is generally certain that the author is a more talented scholar. The earliest known version of "Romance of the Gods" is a publication published in Jin Changshu during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, which was kept in the Japanese Cabinet Library.

The title of the second volume of the Romance of the Gods is Xu Bian, so many scholars think that the author of the Romance of the Gods is Xu. But this is an isolated case, and Xu Shi's life experience is unknown. It's hard to say whether he is the author or not.

The Legend of Shuntian, the seventh volume of Legend Test, said: "The Legend of Shen Feng was written by Lu Changgeng, a Taoist priest in the Yuan Dynasty, which is unknown." Zhang's textual research on The Original History in 1930s was a misunderstanding.

According to Volume 8 of Records of Xianfeng Rebuilding Xinghua County, Lu Xixing, who was born in Xinghua, Jiangsu Province, was brilliant. He is well-read, skilled in writing and calligraphy, and can understand profound truths such as the heaven of life.

Lu Xixing and the famous scholar Zong Chen are both famous for their talents. I took many provincial exams, but I didn't get good grades. So I gave up my Confucian costume, took Huang Guan as a foreign tourist, met some experts several times, and learned many secrets of fairies.

Later, he wrote dozens of books about Shi Xian, and annotated Zhuangzi, named South China Vice Ink. Many scholars believe that Lu Xixing is good at writing and proficient in Buddhism.

With his experience, he should be the most suitable author of The Romance of Gods. But there is no direct evidence. It can be said that the author of The Romance of Gods is still a mystery to be solved.
