Does Pan Jinlian really exist in history?
But what is the real Pan Jinlian like? Next, I will analyze it for you.
I. Pan Jinlian in history
Pan Jinlian, born in a rich family, is also a good girl. Her father worked as a magistrate, then left office and opened a big dyeing house. At that time, it was a very profitable industry.
Pan Jinlian lived a happy life at home before he met Wu Zhi (the prototype of Wu Dalang), but Wu Zhi, a poor boy, took a chance to work in Panjia Dyehouse and do some part-time jobs in order to earn money for his own study.
Martial arts dare not plant the word Tian Ling. When I was a child, I was called Dalang. In his later years, he respected and loved Lao Si. His wife, Pan Shi, is a famous woman. -Wu Dalang's epitaph Because Wu Zhi is a burly young man and handsome, the key is to study hard, be sensible and have great potential. In today's words, it is a potential stock, so Pan Jinlian's father thinks this young man is good, and Pan Jinlian is even more obsessed with Wu Zhi.
Later, Pan Jinlian's father and Wu Zhi agreed to betroth his daughter to him as long as he was admitted to Jinshi. Perhaps Wu Zhi is more eager to get a beautiful wife. Sure enough, Pan Jinlian wished to become Wu Zhi's wife, and the young couple lived a happy life from then on.
The turning point is that Wu Zhi accidentally made friends with a villain, Huang Tang. After Huang Tang was down and out, he went to seek Wu Zhi's help. Wu Zhi was silently helping Huang Tang, but unfortunately Huang Tang didn't understand. He thought Wu Zhi didn't want to help him, so he left his home and spread rumors that his wife Pan Jinlian had seduced him. As we all know, Ximen Qing is really annoying, because he was once treated by Wu Zhi. He came out to join in the fun 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 has become rigid and unchangeable, which leads to the real Pan Jinlian being such a virtuous girl of yellow flowers. This is really sad and deplorable.
Second, the event analysis
In fact, many real figures in history have deteriorated, such as Zhuge Liang, celebrities and later generations, which have affected our objective evaluation of real historical figures, and Li and Yuan Tiangang, who are constantly fabricated and spread to us today, are no longer true.
The reason why we study history is that we hope to explore real people and real stories that happened in the past through the layers of fog and vague fragments of history, so as to give the parties a fair and objective evaluation, neither too high nor too low. This is our original intention and ultimate goal.

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 can keep people healthy, its taste is not enough for people to remember. Although coke is exciting, it also hurts people unintentionally.
That's what people do. 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, we can constantly adjust our vision and foresight, and see the essence through the surface of things. This is the real maturity!
