Is Liang Zhu just a legendary story, and what is the storyline of the legend of Liang Zhu?

It should be, because it is not yet possible to determine exactly where it happened. It is generally believed that it occurred in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but there are nearly a dozen counties and cities across the country vying for the title of the birthplace of the so-called "Liang Zhu". Now there is another theory that it happened in the hometown of Confucius and Mencius in the Han Dynasty, because many Han Dynasty tombs were unearthed from the tomb of Liang Zhu.

Now, however, almost all researchers classify it as legend or folklore.

For the first time in history, it was clearly recorded that the butterfly transformation occurred in the Song Kingdom of the Warring States period. It is said that there was a bureaucrat named Han Ping under King Kang of the Song Kingdom, who married a beautiful wife, He (also known as Hua). King Kang coveted He's beauty and forced Han Ping to sacrifice his wife.

Han Ping was angry and sad, and in desperation, he committed suicide. He lied to King Kang and said that he would be able to serve the king for Han for seven days of filial piety, and King Kang agreed. Seven days later, He jumped from Qinglingtai (in present-day Shandong).

When he was dying, he begged to be buried with Han Ping. King Kang tried to catch her, but her clothes were torn inch by inch and turned into butterflies.

King Kang was jealous and disappointed, and buried He opposite Han Ping's tomb, so that the two could not stay together. It didn't take long for a large tree to grow on each of their graves, and gradually grew together, and on it there was a bird named Mandarin Duck, which kept chirping all day long. This is the earliest record of acacia tree ** in China.

You'll find out if you go and see it.

Zhu Yingtai dressed as a **, went to school to study, and became classmates with Liang Shanbo. After studying together for three years, the two have a good relationship. After completing her studies, Yingtai was ready to go home, and Shanbo sent her.

On the way, Yingtai said to Shanbo that there is a younger sister at home, who has just turned 16 this year, virtuous and talented, and wants to help his sister be a matchmaker, and Shanbo agreed. In the second year, Shanbo visited Yingtai's house, and when he saw Yingtai wearing **, he understood that what he said before was not true, and the so-called sister was Yingtai himself.

Shanbo was very happy, but Yingtai had already promised to the Ma family, and the two of them couldn't help crying, so they agreed to live and die together. Soon, Shanbo fell ill and died because he missed Yingtai, and Yingtai was forced to marry. When the sedan chair passed by Shanbo's grave, the grave cracked, Yingtai jumped down, and the two turned into butterflies and flew freely.

The synopsis of the story is as follows: According to legend, during the Western Jin Dynasty in China, the young student Liang Shanbo quit his home to study, and met Zhu Yingtai, a student dressed as a female **, and the two hit it off at first sight, like-minded, so they worshiped as brothers in Caoqiao, and then went to Hongluoshan Academy to study. In the academy, the two get along day and night, and their relationship is getting deeper.

Three years later, Yingtai returned home, and the mountain ordered the boring uncle to send each other for eighteen miles, and the two said goodbye. Under the guidance of his wife, Shan Bo took the butterfly jade fan left by Yingtai Heng Sou to Zhu's house and was rejected, and after returning home, he was filled with grief and anger, and he fell ill and died. Yingtai heard that Shanbo died for himself and was grief-stricken.

Soon, the Ma family came to marry, and Yingtai was forced to get into the sedan chair with anger. Walking to the tomb of Shanbo, Yingtai insisted on getting off the sedan chair, crying and worshipping the dead, died due to excessive grief, and was buried on the east side of the tomb of Shanbo. It is rumored that when Yingtai was forced to get married, he took a detour to pay respects in front of the tomb of Liang Shanbo, under the mourning induction of Zhu Yingtai, the wind, rain, thunder and lightning made a great effort, the tomb burst, Yingtai jumped into the tomb, the tomb was reunited, the wind stopped raining, the rainbow hung high, Liang Zhu turned into a butterfly, and danced in the world.
