In China, almost no one does not know about Jin Yong 's works. Even if you have not had the chance to read his original work, you must have watched a movie or TV series adapted from his martial arts novel. Compared with the martial arts novelists Liang Yusheng and Gu Long of the same period, Jin Yong's works are not the most, but only his works have reached an unprecedented peak.
Martial arts novels are unique to China. Whether it is the "old-school martial arts novels" represented by Shi Yukun and Huanzhu Tower, or the "new-school martial arts novels" represented by Liang Yusheng and Jin Yong, they actually have the same cultural phenomenon. That is, they all have a specific historical environment and cultural background. Jin Yong's creation in this area is even more perfect. In his martial arts novels, he almost only used a small number of historical figures and historical events to promote the development of the entire story. It is Jin Yong's perfect combination of history and art that opens his eyes and loves it.
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is an long martial arts novel created by Jin Yong from September 1963 to June 1966. This novel takes the grudges and ethnic conflicts between the kingdoms of Northern Song Dynasty, Liao, Dali, Xixia, and Tubo. It writes a magnificent picture of the world and the sad song of the world as the historical background. In the process of creating this work, Jin Yong had extremely rich imagination, and he installed the dark line between Murong and his son in order to restore the Yan Kingdom , which had been destroyed for nearly 700 years, slowly pushing the whole story forward.
In the novel, Murong Fu first defeated Duan Yu in Shaolin Temple, and then defeated Xiao Feng . Murong Fu lost all face in front of the heroes of the world and wanted to draw his sword and commit suicide. At the critical moment, Murong Bo was stopped by manipulating everything behind the scenes, and scolded him: " Murong Feng, Murong Ke, Murong Chui, , Murong De, what heroes are like, but unexpectedly they all become peerless people without descendants! " Jin Yong continued to write: Murong Feng, Murong Ke, Murong Chui, and Murong De were all famous kings of Yan back then. They were the heroic kings and famous kings of Yan back then, who were the heroes and heroes of the world and created a grand career. They were Murong Fu's ancestors.
So, what happened to Murong Zhuyan, who made Murong Fu and his son miss each other?
Donghu split
Murong Xianbei was divided into ancient Donghu. Donghu, a northern ethnic group that emerged at the same time as Xiongnu , has a range of activities ranging from the upper reaches of the eastern part of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region to the small and small river basin of Liaoning, including the areas of Chifeng City in Inner Mongolia today, Chaoyang City in Liaoning Province, and Jinzhou City.
During the Qin and Han dynasties, because the Huns often "go south to herd horses", the Central Plains dynasty gave the Huns a profound derogatory word "Hu", and the tribes nomadic in the eastern part of the Huns were called "Donghu". However, whether it is the Huns or the Donghu people, the word "Hu" is a derogatory term. For example, when the Xiongnu Chanyu wrote a letter to the Emperor of Han, he said: " There is a great Han in the south and a strong Hu in the north. Hu is the pride of heaven. "

This buffer zone is called "Otuo". Most of the land in Outu are mountainous lands with poor water and grass, and are not suitable for nomadic places.
, angry and embarrassed, Maodun Shanyu no longer gave in. Finally, on a dark and windy night, he led a group of Xiongnu cavalry carrying cold steel swords to rush into the unprepared Donghu camp. Suddenly, tents were uprooted, soldiers were beheaded shoulder by shoulders, and Lord Donghu was also killed by Maodun Shanyu.Two remaining Donghu members who survived by chance fled, one fled to Wuhuan Mountain (now northwest of Alukorqin Banner, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia) and called themselves the "Wuhuan" tribe; the other fled to Xianbei Mountain and called themselves the " Xianbei " tribe.
There have been many opinions on the specific location of the Xianbei Mountains for thousands of years. For example, there are Longcheng sayings, there are korqin saying, there are gaxian cave saying, and even Lu Simian also believes that the Xianbei Mountain may be located "west of Caspian and north of the Black Sea". In fact, we might as well consider this issue in a different way. Perhaps this tribe that split from the Donghu was originally called "Xianbei". Every time they went to a place, they would name the surrounding mountains as Xianbei. It took more than four hundred years from the time when the Donghu precipitation and the Xianbei rises and moves south again. During these four hundred years, under the successive enslavement of the Xiongnu and Wuhuan, the Xianbei hid and hid, and ran around, and naturally many mountains named after the "Xianbei" appeared.
The rise of Xianbei
The Xianbei rose with the decline of the Xiongnu and Wuhuan. When the Huns retreated westward, the Wuhuan moved to the five counties in the border areas of Han, and the Xianbei took the opportunity to go south and occupied the Xilamulun River Basin and the Hulunbuir grassland in the former Wuhuan. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, as the Northern Huns fled westward, the Xianbei moved southward and westward on a large scale, entering the old land of the Huns. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, a leader named Tanshihuai appeared in the Xianbei tribe.
Tan Shihuai was "brave, strong, intelligent and strategic". Under his leadership, the Xianbei fought south and north, east and west, occupying the grasslands in the northern border during the prosperous period of the Huns. Tan Shihuai divided the vast territory into three parts: east, middle and west. The central part was from the right Beiping (near the Liao Zhongjing site in the southwest of Ningcheng County, Inner Mongolia) to the Shanggu (now Huailai County, Zhangjiakou, Hebei Province). It was led by three commanders: Kezui, Queju and Murong .
Although the military strength of the Tanshihuai Xianbei Alliance is strong, the tribes are complex and its economic foundation is relatively weak. Therefore, after Tanshihuai's death, the tribes of the Xianbei Alliance rebelled one after another, and gradually formed the Xianbei tribes such as the Murong tribe, Yuwen tribe, and Tuoba tribe (see the picture above). During the "Five Barbarians and Sixteen Kingdoms", these tribes went south one after another and were active on the political stage of the Central Plains. Among them, the Murong family successively established the Former Yan, Later Yan, Western Yan , Southern Yan and Tuohun ; Tuoba family established the dynasty and Northern Wei ; Qifu family established the Western Qin ; Tuofa family established the Southern Liang ; Yuwen family established the Northern Zhou Dynasty (destroyed in the Sui Dynasty).
Murong Rise
There have been many different opinions on what "Murong" means, and there is no consensus.
The first statement is: it was popular among the northern Han people at that time. This made the tribal leader at that time very envious, so he tied his hair on his head and wore the shaking crown. Therefore, the Xianbei tribes called him " step ". Because the pronunciation of "Buyao" and "Murong" in the local language are similar, it is said to be "Murong".
The second statement is: The Xianbei Murong tribe "watches the virtues of the two rites, and inherits the appearance of the three lights, so Murong is regarded as his clan."
The third statement is: the word "Murong" comes from the Chinese transliteration of Mongolian bayan. The word bayan was mostly translated as "Boyan" after the Yuan Dynasty. In Mongolian, this word means "chief, chief, monarch". Later, when the Murong clan established the Yan regime, in order to beautify the tribe, he used his ancestors' official titles to name his tribe. Because of the white skin, the Xianbei Murong tribe is also called the "Baiwu Xianbei". The founder of its foundation, Mohuba, led his troops into the western Liaoning region during the Cao Wei period. His grandson Murong She returned to the Western Jin Dynasty at . When he was in charge of Liucheng (now Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province), he was named Xianbei Shanyu. After Murong She returned to , his legitimate son, Murong Yang, followed Shanyu, officially kicked off the highlight of the Murong family. At this time, the Western Jin Dynasty was greatly damaged after the rebellion of the Eight Kings. The five tribes of the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Jie, Di and Qiang were eyeing the Central Plains.In order to win over Murong Wei, the Western Jin Dynasty appointed him as an envoy, and held the throne of the military chariots and cavalry generals and the governor of Pingzhou, and was also granted the title of Liaogong County Duke, holding a letter of iron certificate, and under the command of Haidong.
After Murong Wei's death, his son Murong Wei was established. Although Murong Huang called himself the King of Yan, he did not officially establish the Yuan Dynasty, but several of his descendants became the figures who called the wind and rain in that era: 's second son Murong Jun, the founding emperor of the former Yan; the fifth son Murong Chui, the founding emperor of the later Yan; the youngest son Murong De, the founding emperor of the Southern Yan; the second son Murong Hong , the founding emperor of the Western Yan.
Murong Zhuyan
Fore Yan: From 352 to 370 AD, Murong Jun established his capital in Longcheng ( is now Liaoning Chaoyang), and was destroyed in 370 in Former Qin ;
Western Yan: From 384 to 394 AD, Murong Hong established his capital in the eldest son ( is now Shanxi 1 is now) and was destroyed in the Later Yan in 394.
Houyan: From 384 to 407 AD, Murong Chui established his capital in Longcheng (first settled Zhongshan), and was destroyed in Northern Yan in 407;
Northern Yan: From 398 to 410 AD, Murong De established his capital in Huatai (now Hua County, Henan), and was destroyed in 409Houyan;
In addition, in 407 AD, Later Yan Murrong Bao was killed by his adopted son Murrong Yun , and was established in Northern Yan. Since Murong Yun was a Korean native, he changed his surname to "Gao" shortly after he ascended the throne. Therefore, although Northern Yan is one of the sixteen countries, it cannot actually be regarded as a regime established by the Murong family. Due to the founding of the country to its demise, in less than twelve years, many historians only recognized it as a separatist regime but did not recognize it as one of the sixteen countries, but it was indeed a regime established by the Murong family.
In addition, Murong Shegui's eldest son Murong Tuyuhun is a concubine. After Murong Shegui's death, Murong Tuyuhun and his younger brother Murong Wei had a dispute over the conflict in the pasture. In a fit of anger, Murong Tuyuhun led his troops to the Hetao Plain on the southern foot of Yinshan . After more than 20 years of hard work, the strength of Murong Tuyuhun tribe has increased greatly, which has caused uneasiness in the Tuoba Xianbei tribe. In order to find a paradise for the tribe, the elderly Murong Tuyuhun led his troops to move west again and finally came to the residential area of the Qiang people in the northwest of Linxia, Gansu. Here, Murong Tuyuhun conquered the local Qiang people with advanced culture and sonorous iron hooves, forming a joint regime of the Qiang people in Xianbei.
During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, his grandson Ye Yan became emperor. In order to commemorate his grandfather's great achievements, he used his grandfather's name as the surname of the royal family and called the country name Tuyuhun.
Beauty gene
Xianbei Murong's skin is white and fair. There are many handsome men and beautiful women in the family. Therefore, in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Jin Yong described Murong Fu as if he was like a crown jade, graceful and elegant. According to historical records, the second emperor of the Western Yan regime, Murong Chong (Murrong Hong's younger brother) was in his youth, the Former Yan perished. Murong Chong and his sister, Princess Qinghe, were taken to the harem by the former Qin emperor, Fu Jian, and others. At that time, there was a song circulating in Chang'an City : , one female and one male, and two birds flew into the purple palace .
Later, Fu Jian followed the advice of minister Wang Meng and released Murong Chong from the harem as the prefect of Pingyang (now Linfen, Shanxi). In order to express his longing for Murong Chong, Fu Jian planted sycamore trees around Afang City, hoping that Murong Chong (nickname Phoenix) could rest at any time like a phoenix.
Although Fu Jian is polite to Murong Chong's feelings, we can see from this how powerful Murong Chong's family's beauty gene is. After experiencing the glory of Murong and Murong Chui, the Murong family gradually declined and finally integrated into the bloodline of the Han people.
After the Central Plains dynasty passed through the Five Barbarians and Sixteen Kingdoms, national unification has become the common desire of the people of all ethnic groups. With the deposed Northern Zhou Dynasty and established itself, the Xianbei tribes officially withdrew from the political stage of the Central Plains.
From the destruction of the country by the Xianbei Murong Zhuyan to the "Tianlong Bazi" in the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty, the wheel of history had been moving forward for nearly seven hundred years. At this time, the Murong and his son were still unable to extricate themselves from the glory of their ancestors and were doomed to fail.Interestingly, the origin of Xiao Feng and his son, who were carefully plotting against each other, was actually the descendants of the Xianbei family.
