The prototype of Meng Jiangnu has no name, and it is only recorded in the history books that her husband is called Qi Liangzhuo, and the two are from the Warring States Period of Qizhuang. The two were already married when they appeared, and there was no way to investigate how to meet and how to love each other, only to know that the young couple of the stove chain loved each other very deeply, and it was the common dream of the two to hold the hand of the son and grow old with the son. But God didn't fulfill people's wishes, and a war broke the sweet life of the little couple.

The influence of Meng Jiangnu's later generations

The legend of Meng Jiangnu crying on the Great Wall is widely spread among the people, and her husband was recruited by the King of Wei to build the Great Wall (now the Warring States Great Wall at the junction of Weihui and Huixian) and died of exhaustion and starvation, and was buried under the Great Wall.

Meng Jiangnu cried to the Great Wall in the Weihui Chishan section of the mountain, moved the heavens and the earth, cried and collapsed the Great Wall, revealing her husband's bones. So far, its story is still circulating in the area of Weihui Chishan Township, and the teardrop stone of Meng Shengtuan Jiang Nu crying down the Great Wall can be seen on the mountain. Xinxiang urban area has Mengjiangnu River, Mengjiangnu Road, Mengjiangnu Bridge and other names.

The state attaches great importance to the protection of intangible cultural heritage, and on May 20, 2006, the legend of Meng Jiangnu was approved to be included in the first batch of cultural relics.

Meng Jiang: Gu Jiegang, a famous Chinese historian, traced the original form of the legend of Meng Jiangnu all the way back to a story in the "Zuo Chuan". "Zuo Biography" describes this story to praise Qiliang's wife (that is, Meng Jiangnu in later generations) for her ability to deal with things with courtesy and confusion when she was grieving, which is admirable.

Meng Jiangnu's real surname is actually "Jiang", the eldest in line, and Meng is her ranking in the family. In ancient times, the women to be married were ranked according to "Meng (Bo), Zhong, Shu, Ji", if it was the eldest daughter of the main wife, it would be ranked as "Bo", and the eldest daughter born in a partial house would be ranked as "Meng".

Jiang means the eldest daughter of the Jiang family.

Meng Jiangnu does not have the surname Meng, "Meng" means the eldest among the brothers and sisters, and "Jiang" is her surname. "Meng Jiangnu" actually means "the eldest daughter of the Jiang family". Moreover, Meng Jiangnu does not refer to a single person, but a general term for a class of people.

According to the "Biography of Mao": "Meng Jiang, the eldest daughter of Qi. Chen Huan Chuanshu:

Meng Jiang, the wife of the clan. In the pre-Qin period, "Meng Jiang" was generally referred to as the eldest daughter of the monarch of the Qi State, and also referred to the women of the world. In other words, many aristocratic women in the Qi State Office at that time could be called "Meng Jiang".

During the Ming Dynasty, in order to vent their insincerity to the feudal rulers, the common people changed the wife of Qiliang to "Meng Jiangnu" and changed Qiliang to "Wanxi Liang", adding plots such as recruiting relatives, loving husband and wife, and sending winter clothes for thousands of miles, creating a new legend of "Meng Jiangnu crying on the Great Wall". From the beginning of the story of the return of the tomb to the legend of Meng Jiangnu at the end, there are more than 2,000 years. It is no accident that a story can be loved by the people for a long time, and is constantly transformed and processed.

The main reason for this is because this story represents the common aspiration of the entire human race and expresses the most authentic voices of working people.

Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a Mengjiazhuang in Songjiang Prefecture, Jiangsu, and there was an old man in Mengjiazhuang who was good at growing gourds. When the gourd was ripe, a beautiful little girl popped out of it, because it was a gourd planted with the Meng family and the Jiang family, so it was named Meng Jiangnu.

The stars are moving, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle, Meng Jiangnu has grown up day by day, she is ingenious, smart and clever, beautiful and abnormal, weaving cloth than Weaver Girl, singing to race the yellow warbler, Meng Laohan loves like a treasure.

Later, a scholar named Wan Xiliang ventured into the back garden of Meng Jiangnu, and the two fell in love at first sight. Originally, the old man did not agree to this family business, but Meng Jiangnu had made up her mind, and she would not marry unless she was happy, and finally Fan Xiliang finally agreed. Meng Laohan was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and hurriedly discussed with the Jiang family to choose an auspicious day and give them a marriage.

Later, Wan Xiliang was arrested and sent to the frontier to build the Great Wall because of the scoundrel frame-up.

Since then, Meng Jiangnu has been thinking about Jun day and night, not thinking about tea, not thinking about food, and being sad. In the blink of an eye, winter is coming, there is heavy snowfall, Jiang Nu wants her husband to build the Great Wall, the weather is cold, and there is no clothes to keep out the cold, so she hurries to sew cotton clothes day and night, and sings a self-composed song while doing it: "The moon is bent and bent very clearly, Meng Jiangnu's husband builds the Great Wall, even if it is a long way, it is a strong love to send warm clothes."

Overnight, after making cotton clothes, Meng Jiangnu traveled thousands of miles and embarked on a journey. Along the way, trekking through mountains and rivers, sleeping in the open air, not knowing hunger and thirst, not knowing tiredness, day and night to rush forward, this day finally came to the foot of the Great Wall.

But there are tens of thousands of people under the Great Wall, so what about going to **? She inquired about people, and the kind-hearted man told her that Fan Xiliang had died of exhaustion and was buried in the Great Wall to build a wall. When Meng Jiangnu heard this, her heart was like a knife, so she asked the kind migrant workers to lead her way to the Great Wall where Fan Xiliang was buried.

Meng Jiangnu cried bitterly, and the Great Wall fell for 800 miles, alarming the officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers reported to Qin Shi Huang. Qin Shi Huang was furious and ordered Meng Jiangnu to be arrested. When Meng Jiangnu was arrested, Qin Shi Huang saw her beauty and wanted to accept her as the mother of the main palace.

Meng Jiangnu sneered and said: "You are mediocre and cruel, you have harmed the people of the world, and now you have killed my husband, how can I be your mother, don't be delusional!" After saying that, she took her husband's bones in her arms and jumped into the rough sea.

For a while, the tide was rolling, emptying and hitting the shore, as if lamenting for Meng Jiangnu.
