Shocked, a big 100-year hoax, how many people are still in the dark,It's about writing eye-catching stories that get people's attention. The details are as follows:

For example:

The story of Wudalang in history is not the same as what we've heard, there really is a Wudalang character that exists in history.

Wudalang, whose original name was Wu Zhi, was a native of the Ming Dynasty. Wu Dalang was the name given to him by the author of the novel. Historically, Wu Zhi was also not a seller of cooking cakes, people were a county official at that time, upright and clean. Wu Zhi was not as short and ugly as portrayed in the novel. On the contrary, archaeologists found that Wu Zhi was slender and at least one meter eight in height when he was alive by looking at his bones.

Wu Zhi's wife was indeed named Pan Jinlian, but she was not as ungrateful as the novels make her out to be. As Wu Zhi's wife, Pan Jinlian taught her children and was in love with Wu Zhi.

This is a completely different point from what people are concerned about.

Social Impact of Water Margin

The Water Margin's portrayal of the Recruitment of Peace once had a negative impact on some of the leaders of the righteous armies, for example, Zhang Xianzhong was pacified in Gucheng, and stated that he "kills the royal family and follows the story of Song Jiang's Water Margin" (Chronicle of the Water Margin). However, in comparison, the positive influence of Water Margin on peasant revolts is still the main one. A batch of volunteers took Water Margin as a textbook for the uprising, and drew strength from it to raise the banner of armed struggle. According to the available information, the influence of the Liangshan heroes on the rebels can be seen from the fourteenth year of the Wanli reign (1586) onwards.
