Who knows where Meng Jiangnu, who cried down the Great Wall for 800 miles in the Warring States Peri

Where is Meng Jiangnu's hometown**? Some people say it's in Songjiang, some people say it's in Laiwu. Recently, a staff member of the Pengyang County Archives in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region argued that Meng Jiangnu's hometown is in Pengyang County, Ningxia.

The staff member said that the legend of Meng Jiangnu crying on the Great Wall should come from the Qin Dynasty, and it was the Great Wall of Qin that Meng Jiangnu cried in the story, and the Great Wall of Shanhaiguan was the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, so the story of Meng Jiangnu should never happen in Shanhaiguan. On both sides of the site of the Warring States Qin Great Wall in Pengyang County, there have been legends and songs of Meng Jiangnu, so Meng Jiangnu's hometown should be in Pengyang County, Ningxia. The existing Shanhaiguan Great Wall was built in the Ming Dynasty, and the protagonist of the pre-Qin legend, Meng Jiangnu, of course, could not "Guan Gong and Qin Qiong", and cried down the Shanhaiguan Great Wall, which is still well preserved.

However, just by virtue of the fact that there is a section of the Great Wall of Qin in this county, and there are legends and songs of Meng Jiangnu near the ruins, it is also arbitrary to say that Meng Jiangnu is the hometown of Pengyang people. The Great Wall of Qin stretches for thousands of miles, and the story of Meng Jiangnu has long been a household name after thousands of years. According to this inference, many places in northern China should be the hometown of Meng Jiangnu.

Legendary characters like Meng Jiangnu, who have evolved from the prototype to the current image, have gone through folk exaggeration and rap for thousands of years, and have long been unrecognizable. The life history of these legendary figures is still justified by public opinion, and there is no rigorous argument and credible information to support it. However, legends are legends after all, how important is Meng Jiangnu's fellow countryman and whose relatives?

In recent years, many cultural researchers and enthusiasts who work and live at the grassroots level have shown great enthusiasm for the study of folk customs in various places. A hundred schools of thought contend, a hundred flowers bloom, this kind of research enthusiasm is undoubtedly worthy of recognition. However, at the same time, people have also seen that grassroots rural studies cannot jump out of the narcissistic complex of their hometowns, and their research results often degenerate into contention.

1. The "bragging" results of the relationship with the ancient sages. Because they can't get out of the shackles of the narcissistic complex in their hometown, many studies are often preconceived and become evidence-finding activities with arguments. Jumping out of the narcissistic complex of hometown, grassroots cultural researchers and enthusiasts will have a broader research horizon.

Due to the limitation of geographical conditions, the grassroots local culture "enthusiasts" do not have the support of large libraries, and it is difficult to grasp sufficient and detailed literature, which is the shortcoming of their research. China is big, ten miles of different winds, five miles of different customs. Although they are all influenced by traditional culture, each place has its own special customs.

Mr. Fei Xiaotong's "Jiangcun Economy" does not talk about Confucianism and Taoism, but focuses on reproducing public life, seeing the big from the small, and telling people a different kind of China. Grassroots local culture researchers were born and grew up in Sri Lanka, studying local folk songs, folk proverbs, customs, and customs, taking advantage of the time, place and people. Just sorting out these intangible cultural heritages is a significant contribution.

Even the legend of Meng Jiangnu, there are many folk songs and customs in various places, and it is also a great sight to sort out and classify these things. Instead of arguing about the strengths and weaknesses of your hometown, it is better to do some fieldwork-style research and tell people about a different kind of hometown.

According to the encyclopedia's Meng Jiangnu entry, her birthplace: Yingmu (now Chayekou Town, Laiwu City, Shandong Province).

In today's Shandong Province.

After investigation, the program of ** TV Channel 10 said that Meng Jiangnu was the wife of a general of Qi State, and she had been dead for hundreds of years when the Qin Dynasty built the Great Wall. Meng Jiang's husband Qi Liang was a doctor of Qi during the Spring and Autumn Period.

Meng Jiangnu went through many difficulties and dangers to find her husband who was caught working on the Great Wall, but found that her husband had been killed by Qin Shi Huang, and finally cried down on the Great Wall and found her husband's body.

The story of Meng Jiangnu crying on the Great Wall was soon praised by people, and in order to commemorate her, on a hill near Shanhaiguan, she built a tomb and built a temple, and named it Jiangnu Temple. The story of Meng Jiangnu looking for her husband and sending cold clothes and crying down the Great Wall for 800 miles is well-known and has been passed down to this day.

Legend has it that during the reign of Qin Shi Huang, the labor was heavy, and the young men and women Fan Xiliang and Meng Jiangnu were newly married for three days, and the groom was forced to set out to build the Great Wall, and soon died of hunger, cold, and fatigue, and his bones were buried under the Great Wall.

Meng Jiangnu was wearing cold clothes, went through hardships, and came to the Great Wall in search of her husband, but what she got was bad news for her husband. She cried bitterly under the city, for three days and three nights, the city collapsed, revealing the remains of Fan Xiliang, and Meng Jiangnu threw herself into the sea and died in despair.

Since then, Shanhaiguan is considered by later generations to be the place where "Meng Jiangnu cries the Great Wall", and built the Mengjiang Temple there, and people from the south to the north often shed a tear of sympathy here.

The story of Meng Jiangnu comes from the wife of Qi Liang, the military general of Qi in "Zuo Chuan: The Twenty-third Year of Xianggong", who has no name and no surname, and is called Qiliang's wife.

Zuo Biography describes this story as an attempt to praise Qiliang's wife (that is, Meng Jiangnu in later generations) for still being able to deal with things with courtesy and confusion when she is grieving, which is admirable.

The wife of Qiliang, who did not cry on Zuo Chuan, was contaminated with the atmosphere of the ** world at that time when she arrived in the Warring States Period, adding a story of crying. This is a very important change, and the mutation of the story of Qiliang's wife in later generations is born along this "crying and mourning".

The first person to describe the collapse of the city was Liu Xiang at the end of the Western Han Dynasty. In "The Biography of the Daughters", he first retold the story of Qiliang's wife in "Zuo Biography", and then he continued to write: Qiliang's wife has no heirs, and her mother-in-law's family has no relatives, and she became a loner after her husband's death.

Qiliang's wife Bi Xiao "cried about her husband's corpse under the city", and the cry was very sad, and passers-by were all moved. Ten days later, "the city collapsed." The relevant records of the Tang Dynasty have greatly changed the story of Qi Liang's wife.

Meng Jiang's woman crying on the Great Wall is a question that many people want to know if it's true or not. The transmission used to call "the construction of the Great Wall, a young man named Fan Xiliang and his wife Meng Jiangnu had just gotten married, Fan Xiliang was forced to come out of the wall, and after some time, because a person survived, the bones buried under the wall, Meng Jiangnu suffered great suffering in Hanyi, and finally came to the city wall, and when she heard the news of her husband's death, Meng Jiangnu cried on the wall for three days and three nights. Suddenly, the wall collapsed, revealing Fan Heiliang's body.

<> Meng Jiang's daughter fell into despair after burying her late husband Fan Hailiang. This is the legend of Meng Jiangnu, is an oral tradition in folklore, until the beginning of the 20th century, he has been standing in the perspective of domestic scholars, many Chinese historians The prototype of the legend of Meng Jiangnu can be traced back to a story in Zuo Chuan, according to the description of Zhizhuang at that time in "Zuo Chuan", successive crusades to the east of the Wei State and Hejing Kingdom, on the way Banshi Huichao will also attack the extramarital Qi Liang general Zhu Guo Jiguo, but Qi Liang said because he did not repay Jizhuang, you didn't repay me before, because I looked down on it, and was finally seen by you, But I want to do it for their country.

Someone wants to cut off the country and your King Jizhuang, Qi Liang is commanded in pieces, the direct attack of Jingyue and the strength of Ji Guo Qi here are obviously insufficient, but Qi Liang did not, he kept killing him, and finally destroyed on the Qi Liang field, history, Ji Guo attacked Zhu Guo Ji Guo Qi mixed Liang field, his wife heard crying after passing by, at this time he was also the soul of his wife, and finally the woman's cry was brought directly to the wall, so from this story, we clearly know Meng Jiangfu's Ji Guo people prototype, While Meng Jiangnu mourned for the Great Wall in the Spring and Autumn Period, and Qin Shi Huang mourned for the Great Wall for hundreds of years.

"On the Left" records the story of Qi Liang's wife, Meng Jiang's daughter, in the minds of posterity. In the midst of grief, it is admirable that a person can do things in a respectful and delusional way. In fact, in the Qin Dynasty, there was no version of the Mengjiang woman crying on the Great Wall.

This is also mentioned by the girl Li left in the Han Dynasty, but there is no record of the Mengjiang woman crying on the Great Wall. Later, with the movement of people, the place of activity was moved to Yan again, and the husband who died in the war was changed to ask for a Muslim job.
