Who is the prototype of Meng Jiangnu? Did she cry over the Wall?

The prototype of Meng Jiangnu is Qiliang's wife, she has never cried on the Great Wall, and the stories of crying on the Great Wall are all added by later generations on the basis of the original.

Meng Jiangnu's prototype is Qi Liang's wife, she is crying for her husband Qi Liang, and she has not cried on the Great Wall!

Meng Jiangnu and Qin Shi Huang have no relationship. Archaeologists found that Meng Jiangnu was a native of Qi in the Spring and Autumn Period, hundreds of years earlier than the legend we heard, her husband Qi Liang was the vanguard of the army, unfortunately died in battle, Qi Liang's wife, good at crying, is very famous in Qi country, she cried her husband when the Great Wall, mountains and rivers were infected by her sadness, the Great Wall fell, the mountain also collapsed, moving the heavens and the earth.

The woman is a figure in folklore, and there is a legend about Meng Jiangnu, mainly seen in the allusion of Meng Jiangnu crying on the Great Wall.

This story is like this, it is said that Qin Shi Huang wanted to build the Great Wall, so he caught Zhuang Ding in the world, among them there was a person named Fan Xiliang, in order to escape Qin Shi Huang to catch Zhuang Ding, so in the process of escaping, he hid in the back garden of Meng Yuanwai, in this back garden, and Meng Yuanwai's daughter Meng Jiangnu fell in love at first sight, so Meng Yuanwai gave his daughter Xu to him, on the wedding night, Qin Shi Huang built the Great Wall to catch Zhuang Ding's team arrived, and Fan Xiliang was arrested. In order to find Fan Xiliang, Meng Jiangnu walked thousands of miles, and finally walked to the foot of the Great Wall, and found that Fan Xiliang had already died of exhaustion in order to build the Great Wall, and the people who built the Great Wall were directly poured into the city wall. Meng Jiangnu was very sad, so she cried bitterly next to the Great Wall, this situation may have moved the heavens, and directly cried down the Great Wall, and Fan Xiliang's body was exposed.

This story is actually a legend that is constantly attached to the structure in history, according to the historian Gu Jiegang.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the wife of Qi Liang, the warrior of Qi State, that is, Meng Jiangnu, Qi Liang died in battle with the Duke of Qi Zhuang attacking Ju State, and when his body was transported back to China, his wife Meng Jiang was in the coffin of her husband, and she would be buried outside the city, and she slept in the open for three days.

The coffin mourned, tears were exhausted, followed by blood, Qi Cheng suddenly collapsed a few feet, and the mourning was urgent, and he felt sincerely. Later generations said that the Qin people Fan Qiliang was sent to build the Great Wall and died, his wife Meng Jiangnu sent winter clothes to the city, heard the death of her husband and cried, the city collapsed, and the cover was Qi Liang's matter, and the misinformation of the ear.

Legend has it that during the time 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 wall of 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 Chang selling Dan 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.

Meng Jiangnu was crying about that section of the Great Wall, what is the name of his husband.

Qiliang was Liu Xiang in the late Western Han Dynasty. In "The Legend of the Martyr Daughter", he first retold the story of Qiliang's wife in "Zuo Chuan", 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 "cried over her husband's corpse under the city", and the cry was very sad, and all passers-by were moved. Ten days later, "the city collapsed." The relevant records of the Tang Dynasty have greatly changed the story of the wolf's wife.

Qiliang changed from the Qi people in the Spring and Autumn Period to the Yan people of the Qin Dynasty; The name of Qiliang's wife appeared, her surname was Meng Zhongzi, or her surname was Meng Jiangnu; The cause of Qiliang's death was no longer the battlefield where he died, but because he was captured for avoiding military service and built within the city wall, so his wife had to cry to the city; And there are so many dead bodies built within the walls that they can only be identified by dripping blood and recognizing their bones. The story of Qiliang's wife was processed by the Six Dynasties and the Sui and Tang dynasties, linking the collapse of the city with Qin Shi Huang, which is no small creation.
