Is there Mu Guiying?

Mu Guiying - a character in opera and ** "Yang Jiajiang". Originally the daughter of Mu Ke Zhai Mu Yu, excellent martial arts, witty and brave, legend has it that there is a goddess to teach the art of magic arrows and flying knives. Because of the battle with Yang Zongbao before the battle, he captured Zongbao alive and recruited him to marry, and was among the generals of the Yang family, and was an outstanding figure among the female generals of the Yang family.

Together with the Yang family, he fought to defend the country and made many achievements. She Taijun (She Saihua) is 100 years old in command, handsome and sometimes widow to the west, she is 50 years old, especially the pioneer seal, deep into danger, fighting generals, and winning a big victory. It is a typical image of a heroine in Chinese classical literature.

Yang Ye is a brave general, and he is indeed a real person, but his status is only equivalent to the deputy commander of a war zone. His wife Zhe Shi, later generations falsely called She's family, and fabricated the bizarre story of She Taijun's 100-year-old expedition. Yang Ye's son has Yang Yanlang and others, and later because Song Zhenzong was superstitious about Taoism, pretending to be a god and playing ghosts, fabricating that the legendary Taoist emperor Zhao Xuanlang was his ancestor, Yang Yanlang had to avoid the royal secret, changed his name to Yanzhao, which was still twenty-six years after Yang Ye's death.

Yang Yanzhao's son is Yang Wenguang, and his wife Murong is the family. In history, there was no generation of Yang Zongbao and Mu Guiying, and there was no absurd and bizarre Tianmen Array.

There is no such person as Mu Guiying in the official history.

Mu Guiying is a character in Xiong Damu** "Northern Song Dynasty Chronicles" (also known as "The Biography of the Yang Family" and "The Romance of the Yang Family") and Ji Zhenlun** "The Romance of the Yang Family" in the Ming Dynasty. Mu Guiying was originally the daughter of Mu Yu of Mu Ke Zhai, with excellent martial arts, wit and bravery, and legend has it that there is a goddess who teaches the art of arrows and flying knives. Because of the battle with Yang Zongbao before the battle, Mu Guiying captured Zongbao and recruited him to marry, and was among the generals of the Yang family, and was an outstanding figure among the female generals of the Yang family.

Mu Guiying and the Yang family will fight together to defend the country and make many achievements. She Taijun (She Saihua) was 100 years old in command, led 12 widows to the west, Mu Guiying was 53 years old and still hung the pioneer seal, went deep into danger, fought against the generals, and won a complete victory, which is a typical image of women heroes in Chinese popular literature.

In recent years, the "Yang Family Genealogy" of Shanxi Daixian County and the "Yang Family Genealogy" of Shanxi Yuanping were found under the name of Liulang Yanlang, and they all recorded the three sons of Zongbao, Zongzheng and Zongmian; The "Genealogy of the Yang Family" found in Huangmei, Hubei Province, is more clearly recorded as "Zongbao's wife Mu, born Wenguang and Tongxin's two sons" ("Zhejiang**", July 30, 1983). It can be seen that there are her and Yang Zongbao in the family tree. Therefore, some scholars believe that although Mu Guiying's name has not been seen in the annals, it is not without such a person.

It is said that "Yang Wenguang's wife, Murong Shi, is strong in martial arts, brave and good at fighting, and the Liao soldiers are afraid of her" ("Baode Prefecture Chronicles"). According to the chronicle, Murong's hometown is in Muta Village, Baode Prefecture, and the surnames Mu and Mu are close to each other, so scholars believe that "her name is not included in the Baode Prefecture Chronicles, and later generations may not have changed her surname, but also gave her the common name 'Guiying' to take advantage of her circulation." "Mu Guiying helped the Yang family on the battlefield; It can be said that it is not unfounded, as for the name, it is the rest of the matter" (Liu Ziqin, "Words of the "Yang Family General"", Shanxi "Literature and History Research", No. 1, 1988).
