Tong Delun from Danjiangkou City has spent decades of hard work trying to uncover the mystery of Chen Shimei.

According to the local inscription records about Chen Shimei, he researched the Qing Dynasty official Chen Shimei, who was the prototype of Chen Shimei in the "Quanmei Case".

In his research, when Chen Shimei was an official in Guizhou, his fellow villagers came to vote, and he received him many times and persuaded him to study hard in order to advance.

But after a long time, more and more people came to take refuge in him, and when it was difficult to cope, Chen Shimei instructed the housekeeper to refuse when there were any more people to take refuge.

There is a person named Hu Mengdie, who is his classmate, and has also funded him to go to Beijing to take the exam in terms of money, but at this time he came to take refuge in him but was rejected by the housekeeper, and he was naturally unhappy, so he pinched some things after being promoted to become rich, abandoning his wife and children, and added them to him, and compiled the drama "Qin Xianglian".

According to legend, when "Qin Xianglian" was performed in Junzhou, that is, Chen Shimei's hometown at the end of the Qing Dynasty, one of Chen's descendants was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot, and immediately gathered the clansmen and smashed the troupe.

Mr. Tong's research is very detailed, and there is even a folk custom, it is said that in Chen Shimei's hometown Junxian, "Beimen Street does not sing Chen Shimei, Qinjialou does not sing Qin Xianglian" common saying.

As for Chen Shimei in the Qing Dynasty, why was he given to the old bag in the Song Dynasty, it is said that it was an accident on the stage, after singing "Qin Xianglian Holding the Pipa", the fans were so angry that they refused to leave, and shouted "kill Chen Shimei", the head of the troupe was in a hurry, and saw that the old bag who sang "Chenzhou Grain" on stage had not been unloaded, so he had an idea and let the old bag take Chen Shimei, forming the story of "Chen Shimei".

This can be regarded as "Chen Shimei", the most widely circulated "research".

Many people who know about this often take this as the truth and cry out for Chen Shimei, and some people even made a film "Chen Shimei Who Was Wronged Through the Ages".

So, is this research true or false?

Sorry, it's fake!

Mr. Tong said that "Chen Shimei is a Qing official of the Qing Dynasty", but in fact, in the Ming Dynasty, in the book "Bao Gong Case and Hundred Family Gong Cases" made by a self-named "Qiantang Sanren An Yushi", there is already a story of Junzhou Chen Shimei's champion who does not recognize his wife and children, which is very similar to the first half of the plot of the Henan opera "Bao Qingtian".

In other words, Chen Shimei's story has almost been set in stone, at least in the Ming Dynasty, and the "truth" that Mr. Tong "painstakingly" researched is actually a false truth.

Is there really a "Chen Shimei" in the Song Dynasty?

This issue has not yet been decided, at least in the history books, I have never seen Lao Bao clean up Chen Shimei, it should be a virtual villain made up in "The Case of Bao Gong".

As a side note, in the "Bao Gong Case" written by the Ming people, there is not a single word "guillotine" in the whole text, that is to say, the three guillotines of "dragon head, tiger head, and dog head" should also be made up by the Ming people and later generations.

……

Chen Shimei's situation makes people smile bitterly, and it also proves that in traditional scripts and stories, the ambiguity between virtual characters and real characters is very common.

This is true not only in ancient times, but also in modern times.

Chen Shimei is still a virtual character, and he can't be sure of black and white, and he will be black if he is black, and there is no big problem.

But in history, those real enlightened people and heroes are often blackened by film and television dramas, and those brutal butchers are often named "saints".

For example, Yin Zhiping and Xiangyang guard Lu Wende, these two were hacked by Jin Daxia, even if Jin Daxia later apologized to Daomen and even made modifications, but this "blackening impact" is still inevitable.

There are also Pan Renmei in "Yang Family General", the prototype is Pan Mei, the founding general of the Song Dynasty, a world-famous general whose credit is higher than the credit of the entire Yang family general, was hacked into a dog and scolded by descendants for hundreds of years.

Since the author of "Yang Jiajiang" wrote a book, will he not find out the situation of Pan Mei and the real situation of that war?

must know, but for the sake of the twists and turns of the story, as well as the opposition and opposition, he still chose to "portray Pan Mei as a traitor", anyway, these ancients are dead, and they can't come to him to complain.

I have to say that this is a very bad state of mind, but in the author's place, it often appears.

……

Shi Mingxian chatted with Lin Mu for a while about these historical situations, thinking of the "smear" he had encountered in his Buddhist lineage, and said a little depressedly: "Mr.'s "Journey to the West" portrays Xuanzang as a Tang monk, a weak, often crying, and a mortal who does not distinguish between right and wrong, although the Buddhists feel that it is wrong, but "Journey to the West" is a satire of the past and the present, which has strong practical significance, and there is also the "correct name" for Xuanzang in the "Journey to the West" TV series, so it is needless to say.

The 'Wukong Zen Master', who also came back from the scriptures, was portrayed as the Monkey King by Mr., and he also had a spirit of courage and forge ahead, so it was okay.

After all, everyone knows what kind of person Xuanzang is, and related creations are nothing.

But like "The Legend of the White Snake", it is really indignant to turn Fahai Zen Master into such an image, but there is no way to do it!"

Hearing these complaints, Lin Mu was a little embarrassed: "It's me who didn't think it through, I'm really sorry!"

Shi Mingxian waved his hand to signal that it was okay: "Mr. doesn't need to apologize, in fact, there is no big problem, borrowing and satirizing current politics is a good thing of practical significance, although the original Buddhist monks are portrayed as various villains, but it is also a merit."

We, the Buddhists, have been subordinate, and we regard this as a practice.

I'm afraid of those who wantonly slander Buddhists for the sake of their own selfish desires, for the sake of 'not being shocking and dying'!

Like that 'Feng Tang', in the book "No Two" written by "Fu Er", he simply spread rumors directly, saying that 'from Tang Gaozong to the sixth ancestor Huineng to the great writer Han Yu, they all bowed down at the feet of Yu Xuanji, prostituted themselves during the day, corrected the law on the spot, unscrupulous, and greedy for joy for a while.

provoked the 'unintelligible Buddhists' to curse him: The demon of the last Dharma has manifested his original form, and his sins are heavy, and he will go to hell!"

Feng Tang?

"Fuji"?

Although Lin Mu has not read this book, he has also heard of it, and the various descriptions in it are really unsightly.

When Lin Mu heard this, he was also very disdainful: "Some authors are too unqualified for fame and fortune, this is a poisonous insect in the industry, but to be honest, it is difficult to have a way to clean them up......!

Indeed, there are often some people on the Internet who like to spread rumors, and they talk about "how the truth is" at every turn, but they can even mislead ordinary people.

These people may not have any extremely disgusting thoughts, but for the sake of being funny, they spread rumors, which is really contemptible.
