The Duke Of Mount Deer, I believe many friends have seen it. Many people have a strong interest in the character Wei Xiaobao, including admiration, envy, saying that he is a gangster and a playboy, but in either case, the character Wei Xiaobao can be said to be very successful portrayed by Jin Yong. As we all know, Jin Yong's novels will be written according to a certain historical background, his own feelings and social phenomena, and he is not writing casually, otherwise, it will not be so attractive.

The Duke Of Mount Deer's novel is Mr. Jin Yong's sealed work, so the hero of the novel, Wei Xiaobao, has also attracted much attention. Many people want to know if Wei Xiaobao, the hero of the play, has a historical prototype, and who is his historical prototype? There is no Wei Xiaobao in history, but there is a historical prototype of Wei Xiaobao! And in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, except for seven wives, other places were very similar! Even the surname is the same, and there is a treasure in the name!

Jin Yong once made it clear that "the origin of this character is mainly inspired by overseas Chinese." So, people picked out this person. He is Hong Kong Chinese Sir Wei Tingjun, also known as Wei Yu, whose name is Baoshan. This person not only has the same surname as Wei Xiaobao, but also has a treasure character after his name. What a coincidence! Moreover, apart from the fact that Wei Xiaobao has seven wives, they are very similar in many other places. Let me take a look at them for you.

First of all, there are similarities in official titles. In The Duke Of Mount Deer, Wei Xiaobao was named the first-class Deer Ding Gong, while Wei Baoshan in history was awarded the title of knighthood. Both of them can be called "Lord Wei". Besides this title, Wei Xiaobao has many official titles in the play, such as: Prince Taifu, Deputy Minister of Internal Security, Commander of Zhenghuangqi, and so on.

Secondly, in The Duke Of Mount Deer, Wei Xiaobao was the incense owner of the Heaven and Earth Society, an anti-Qing organization, while Wei Baoshan was a member of the Xing Zhong Society, an early revolutionary organization. Wei Xiaobao sponsored the action of Heaven and Earth Society, and Wei Baoshan in history also sponsored revolutionary activities.

There is also a very similar ending between them. Wei Xiaobao was discovered by Kangxi because of his status as the Lord of Heaven and Earth, and lived in Tongchi Island for several years. Then he retired with seven wives. Wei Baoshan was suspected of selling secrets to the Qing court, which also attracted many criticisms. After the success of the revolution, his deeds were gradually blocked and erased and disappeared into history.

Many similarities show that this man is the historical prototype of Wei Xiaobao. Of course, when Jin Yong wrote this novel, he also added other historical backgrounds and events, and then mixed many historical figures, plus his own imagination and emotion.
