What kind of person is the real Wu Dalang?
According to textual research, Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian do exist. They lived in the Northern Song Dynasty. Wu Dalang's real name is Wu Zhi. Wu Zhi, a native of Wudong Village, Qinghe County, Shandong Province, was born in poverty, but brilliant, not short or ugly at all. 1996 winter, Yang 1992, members of the Wu clan in Wujiana village excavated the ancient tomb of Wu Dalang. The tomb is a circular well-shaped structure, and it is a hanging coffin tomb. Found a leg bone. Based on this, it is speculated that Wu Dalang's height should be more than 1.8 meters, and Wu Zhi's junior is much better than Jin Fan in the Jinshi exam. Later, he became the county magistrate of yanggu county. When Wu Zhi was an official, he was upright and upright, and the people regarded him as Wu Dalang. After Wu Zhi's death, nothing was buried in the tomb.
As for Pan Jinlian, her identity is even more prominent. She was born in a noble family, and is the daughter of a well-known noble family. After she married Wu Zhi, Pan Jinlian married her husband and adopted son, and the family lived happily.
So why are Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian in Water Margin so far away from history? It turns out that during the period when Wu Caomu was allowed to be the county magistrate in yanggu county, the brothers of the League fell backwards, never forgetting their poor origins, fighting for the poor people, and often going deep into Democratic Progressive Party to solve their sufferings. At this time, Wang Xing's brothers were defeated and a fire broke out. There is no way out. I thought of my brother Wu Zhi and went to yanggu county to find Wu Zhi.
On the first day in yanggu county, Wu Zhi warmly received him and comforted him. He was sure to help him, and finally found someone to lean on. The brother of Wang Xing Alliance was ecstatic and began to imagine his future life. But unexpectedly, from then on, Wu Zhi only entertained him with delicious food, without mentioning how to help him at all. I'm not going to do anything for him. Wu Zhi always goes out early and comes back late, as if deliberately avoiding him. His wife, Pan Jinlian, is not very enthusiastic either. She has never had any other entertainment except some daily meals and drinks. He felt that they were obviously perfunctory, and some even wanted to issue a marching order. Anger starts from the heart and evil reaches the gallbladder. He left without saying goodbye, wrote a satirical short story on the road, and then posted it everywhere, adding fuel to the fire for Ximen Qing who bears a grudge against Wu Zhi.
So, Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian became another look. When Wang returned home, he found that Wu Zhi had sent silver coins and sent someone to help him build a house. Wang remembered what he had done and regretted it. Finally, he committed suicide. Shi Naian, the author of Water Margin, interpreted Wu Dalang's story according to hearsay, which caused a strange injustice throughout the ages.
