In fact, we all mistakenly blamed Pan Jinlian . The real Pan Jinlian in history was the rich daughter of the magistrate of Beizhou in Qinghe County, Hebei . She was beautiful, virtuous, knowledgeable and courteous. Her husband's name is Wu Zhi, which is what we usually call Wu Dalang .
In fact, Wu Dalang was not the little man who made a living selling sesame cakes as we heard in history. He was only 1.3 meters tall, and he was also burly, about 1.8 meters tall. When Wu Dalang was a child, he admired literature and martial arts, was smart and capable, but his family was poor, so he worked in Pan Mansion when he was young. Because of his good conduct and love of learning, Mr. Pan supported Wu Dalang in his studies and betrothed his daughter to him.
After Pan Jinlian married Wu Dalang, she was kind and virtuous. She was a typical good woman. She gave birth to four children to Wu Dalang and took care of her husband and children. Later, Wu Dalang became a Jinshi and served as the magistrate of Yanggu County, Shandong Province. He loved his wife for a lifetime and grew old together.
is obviously a model couple, why are they smeared as a slut by history? He was obviously a tall and burly man, but why was he written down by history as the owner of the three-inch Dinggu Bark Root Shaobing Shop who was only 1.3 meters tall?
Wu Dalang was actually very poor when he was a child, and he once received help from his friend Huang Tang. Once there was a fire at Huangtang's house, and the house was burned to the ground. Huangtang thought of Wu Dalang, who was the county magistrate in the county government, and decided to seek employment with him. Wu Dalang entertained Huangtang with good wine and food for three months. Since the county government did not have a suitable job at the time, he was never reminded. As for Huangtang, he left Yanggu County in a fit of anger, planning to return to his hometown in Hebei, but he was very angry that I came all the way to join you, and you didn't even arrange a job for me.
In order to vent his inner dissatisfaction with Wu Dalang, Huangtang, together with Ximen Qing, who had been beaten by the county magistrate Wu Dalang, began to spread rumors to smear Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian. Belittle Wu Dalang's image, and add fuel to the fire, spreading rumors between Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian. The matter quickly spread throughout the country, and reached the ears of Shi Naian, the author of Water Margin , and was written into the novel, Pan Jinlian. Reputation ruined.
After Huangtang returned to his hometown in Hebei, he found that Fei's house that had been destroyed by the fire had been rebuilt. At this time, Huangtang asked his wife, who told him that it was Wu Dalang who secretly sent people to the newly built house after hearing that there was a fire in his house. At this time, Huangtang regretted it and felt that he had misunderstood Wu Dalang, but the rumors had spread and it was impossible to take it back.
Rumors continue to discredit Pan Jinlian and Wu Dalang, and at the same time bring disaster to the descendants of the Pan and Wu families, because this incident caused tragic harm to the descendants of the Pan and Wu families. In the following hundreds of years, the Pan family and the Wu family in Qinghe County were never inseparable. Even Pan Jinlian's village was changed from the original Panjiazhuang to Huangjinzhuang in order to avoid suspicion.
Rumors are naturally not credible, let alone spread randomly. Now hundreds of years have passed, Pan Jinlian's image has become the slut who murdered her husband in our hearts. In 1946, Wu Dalang's tomb was excavated, and the tombstone read, "Wugong Wei Zhi, son: Tianling. Tong. At that time, he was called Dalang. In his later years, he respected four elders. His wife Pan was from a well-known family, Shuyuan, and she was worshiped as a seventh-rank official. out. Although Wu Dalang said he was born in a poor family, he never sold sesame cakes. On the contrary, it was to benefit the people in one place. The seventh-grade parent official, Pan Jinlian, the county magistrate's wife from a well-known Shuyuan family, was described as a slut, which was actually more unfair than Dou E.
In addition, according to the calculation of Wu Dalang’s figure in the tomb, Wu Dalang’s height should be more than 1.8 meters, which is definitely not three inches of Dinggu bark, let alone five short stature.He was a particularly powerful person who was smeared by the author of Water Margin . Later, Shi Shengchen, a direct descendant of Shi Naian, made a special trip to Wu Dalang's ancestral hall in Qinghe County to express his apology to Wu Dalang's descendants on behalf of his ancestors and to protect Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian. A statue was erected and an apology poem was written, which is still mounted on the wall of Wu Dalang Ancestral Hall.
