Pan Jinlian did exist in history, but in many novels everyone knows that Pan Jinlian is a very vicious female image, the most famous slut, who not only seduced her brother-in-law Wu Song, but also had an affair with Ximen Qing , she also poisoned her husband Wu Dalang . In fact, Pan Jinlian was more unjust than Dou E and was misunderstood by the world for hundreds of years.

In real history, she had no relationship with Ximen Qing, nor did she kill her husband Wu Zhi, also known as Wu Dalang. Historically, Pan Jinlian, as the daughter of the Zhizhou family, was a well-known, smart and beautiful lady. After reaching the age of marriage, with the support of her father, Pan Jinlian married Wu Dalang, a smart and capable man with both civil and military skills. Wu Dalang is not the short, poor, 1.3-meter-tall selling sesame seed cake we see on TV. Instead, he is a 1.8-meter-tall Shandong man.

After getting married, the two were very loving, and she took great care of her husband. Under her careful care, Wu Dalang successfully passed the Jinshi examination, and later became the magistrate of Yanggu County. Pan Jinlian gave birth to Wu Dalang throughout his life. She has four children and is well known in her hometown for her gentleness and virtuousness. The good story of Pan Jinlian, a good wife and mother, is still circulating in the Qinghe area of ​​Yanggu. That being the case, why did Pan Jinlian become synonymous with slut in the books of and Shi Naian ? It turns out there is such a thing. Wu Zhi was supported by his friend Huang Tang in the early years. Wu Zhi has always kept this matter in mind. Later, a fire broke out in Huang Tang's house and the house was burned down. Huang Tang learned that his friend Wu Zhi had become the county magistrate, so he went to find him for an official position.

Wu Zhi was an honest official and refused Huang Tang's request because he did not want to seek personal gain. Huang Tang held a grudge, and on the way home, he made up scandals about Wu Zhi and his wife Pan Jinlian, and also brought in the local bully Ximen Qing, causing a stir along the way. When Huang Tang returned home, he found that the house at home had been repaired long ago. His wife told him that it was his friend Wu Zhi who had done it. After hearing this, Huang Tang felt very guilty when he thought about what he had done. He wanted to make up for it, but too much had been spread, and it even reached Shi Naian's ears. So he wrote the stories of Pan Jinlian, Wu Dalang and Ximen Qing into the novel.
