Meng Jiangnv wore a warm coat and went through a lot of hardships. Wan Li came to the Great Wall to look for her husband, but what he got was her bad news. She wept bitterly at the gate of the city for three days and nights, and the city was torn apart, revealing Fan Xiliang's body. Meng Jiangnv threw herself into the sea in despair.
Since then, Shanhaiguan has been regarded by later generations as the place where "Meng Jiangnv cries at the Great Wall", and the Meng Jiangnv Temple was built there, where people from south to north often shed tears of sympathy.

Some people think that Meng Jiangnv's story comes from the wife of Qi Liang, a military commander of the State of Qi, in Zuo Zhuan's Twenty-three Years of "xianggong", who has no name or surname and is called the wife of Qi Liang. "Hou Ji returned, met the wife of Qi Liang in the suburbs, and hanged herself. The resignation said,' If you committed the crime of colonization, why did you humiliate your life? If exempted, there is still a ancestral home, and I can't hang with the suburbs. "JiHou hanging in his room. "That is, the wife of Qi Liang asked Qi Hou to formally mourn Qi Liang in the imperial clan. There is no "crying", no Great Wall, no city walls, no "city collapse", "drowning" and other plots.
The plot of "crying" was as early as in The Book of Rites, when Ceng Zi mentioned that "Qi Liang died and his wife cried at him on the road". Liu Xiang's "On the Garden Mountain" added the content of "Collapse of the City": "Yesterday, Zhou Hua and Qi Liang died in battle, their wives and children were separated, crying in the city, the corner collapsed and the city was in danger."
Then Liu Xiang added the plot of "drowning" in "Biography of Women": "The wife of Qi Liang has no children, and there are no relatives of five genera inside and outside. Since there was no return, I cried at the gate over my husband's body. It is sincere and touching. People passing by are crying for it, and the city will collapse in ten days. " "When her husband's body was lying at the gate, it was crying. Sincere and touching, passers-by will cry for it. The city collapsed on 10. When I was buried, I said,' Where am I going? ? He died too, so he went to the water and died. "
Some poems also have lyrical descriptions of Qi Liang's wife. During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Zhi said in the Six-year Order of Huang Chu: "If a wife doesn't cry, the mountain won't fall". There is a Song of Sending Clothes in the Yuefu of Sui and Tang Dynasties found in Dunhuang Grottoes, which adds the content of sending cold clothes.
In the Tang Dynasty, Guan Xiu revised the poem "The Wife of Qi Liang", and moved the story time to the Qin Dynasty for the first time, and changed the "city collapse" to "Great Wall collapse": "If there is no way in Qin, the four seas will dry up, and the Great Wall will be built to cover the northern Hu. Build Wan Li, Qi Liang and Zhen Fu shed tears to Xianglinsao. There is no father, no husband and no son in the world. No.1 city collapsed and No.1 Qi Liang bone was unearthed. Tired souls and hunger are returning home, and strangers are different. "
At this time, the content is almost the same as the story behind.
