The book of sunflower that Jianghu sects yearn for is written by an ouchi eunuch. But which eunuch is this? It is said that no one can practice by the book for 300 years.
According to the history of China, there is no such thing as an escort agency in formal history. But there were post stations in the Tang Dynasty, and there must be people who escorted the courier after the Tang Dynasty. Someone robbed the birthday class in the Song Dynasty. Since someone robbed it, someone escorted it. If there is a private escort agency, it probably began in the Song Dynasty. However, there is no official record about it.
According to modern research, the Escort Agency was founded by Shanxi people during the Qianlong period. If Jin Yong knows this history, it is obvious that the Sunflower Collection has been pushed up for 300 years and was invented by eunuchs who appeared in the court of the Ming Dynasty. So which eunuch was skilled in martial arts in the early Ming Dynasty?
The first was Zheng He, the eunuch of Sambo, who was once a general. That's really martial arts. The second eunuch was Wang Zhen, but obviously, this guy was not strong enough to fool the emperor into taking part in the war, which almost destroyed Daming Mountain. The third eunuch was Wang Zhi, a powerful eunuch in the Ming Dynasty, who was in charge of the secret service of the Ming Dynasty and had official duties. This is really great.
Of the three eunuchs, I personally think that Wang Zhi is more suitable for practicing the sunflower collection. Mainly because he has time to wander around the imperial court, unlike Zheng He who often goes to the Western Ocean and is busy with diplomacy.
Therefore, Wang Zhi is the eunuch who is most likely to practice and pass on the Sunflower Collection.
But what does Jin Yong think? It is said that the original "Sunflower Collection" is a love collection of a man and a woman, and it was finally revised to be made by eunuchs. Is Jin Yong's understanding of human nature infinitely sublimated to the point of beating around the bush?
