According to historical records, the real Song Wu was born in 1055. He is from Qinghe County, Xingtai County, Hebei Province. When he was young, he went to Hangzhou to earn a living by busking. Judging from the situation at that time, the artist's life was to eat the last meal without the next meal, so Song Wu didn't get along well in Hangzhou and became a tramp over time.
At this time, Gao Quan, the magistrate of Hangzhou, passed through downtown Hangzhou and met Song Wu who was busking in the street. He thought he was a material that could be made, so he made his own living and worked as a head catcher in the yamen in Hangzhou. Song Wu is a very honest official. He always enforces the law impartially. He handled many major cases for Gao Quan, so he was later promoted to local jurisdiction by Gao Quan, and was responsible for local military training in Hangzhou, supervising and catching thieves and other tasks.
Wu Dalang in history
Wu Dalang was originally named Wu Zhi. Coincidentally, he and Wu Dalang in Water Margin are both from Qinghe County, Shandong Province. Although this Wu Zhi was born in poverty, his ambition is not poor and he has an enterprising heart. He is smart and eager to learn, and he respects literature and martial arts. After studying hard at the cold window for many years, yue longmen, a carp, finally changed from "being a Tian Shelang" to "being an emperor at dusk". When I was middle-aged, I wanted to be a big official, ride a good horse, and became a county magistrate in Guyang.
