【Biography】

[Break Liao with the army]

Wanyan Zongbi's real name is 斡啜, and he also makes Wushu (zh), Wuzhu, 斡出, and Huang 斡出. Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguda fourth son (recorded as the sixth son in the "Dajin National Chronicles"). The Song people often called him the "fourth prince". Mother Concubine Ugulun. Zong Bi is arrogant, courageous, good at shooting, and good at using soldiers.

When Wanyan Agu raised an army against Liao, Wanyan Zongbi was still an adult. After the founding of the Jin Dynasty, there were frequent wars against Liao, and Wanyan Zongbi's half-brothers Zong Jun, Zong Gan, Zong Wang, and Zong Fu were all important generals of the Jin Army, who were brave and good at fighting, which had a strong impact on him.

In December of 1121 (the fifth year of Tianfu), Jin Taizu launched the second large-scale anti-Liao war, and Zong Bi put on armor for the first time, and followed his uncle Kulubo to complete the expedition of Yan Gao (oblique).

In the first month of 1122 A.D. (the sixth year of Tianfu), the Jin army conquered Liaozhongjing (now Ningcheng, Chifeng, Inner Mongolia), and Zong Han learned that Emperor Liao Tianzuo was hunting in Yuanyang Luo (now Angu Li Nao, Zhangbei, Hebei), and Wanyan Gao and Zong Han divided their troops to attack Emperor Liao Tianzuo in two ways, and when Zongbi and Zong Wang were in the Wanyan Gao army. The army passed through Qingling, knowing that there were more than 300 Liao soldiers not far away, Zong Wang led Zong Bi and Ma Monk to lead a hundred cavalry to pursue, and in the battle, Zong Bi was exhausted, and then captured the Liao soldiers' guns, killed eight people alone, and captured five people alive. Zong Bi showed superhuman bravery in his first battle, which impressed the Jurchen soldiers.

[Commander of the Song Dynasty]

In October of 1125 A.D. (the third year of Tianhui), the Jin Xing army attacked the Song Dynasty, and the army was divided into two routes, and the West Route Army was led by Zong Han, the deputy marshal of the left. The Eastern Route Army was commanded by Zong Wang, the capital commander, and Zong Bi was in the Eastern Route Army as a marching army of 10,000 households. The Eastern Route Army sent troops from Pingzhou (present-day Lulong, Hebei) and captured Yanjing (present-day Beijing) in December, and then successively conquered Zhongshan, Zhending, and Xinde.

In the first month of 1126 A.D. (the fourth year of Tianhui), Zongwang sent Zongbi to take Tangyin County, the city was broken, and 3,000 Song soldiers were captured. The East Route Army forcibly crossed the Yellow River, Zong Bi led the vanguard of 3,000 horsemen to approach Kaifeng, heard that Song Huizong fled south of Kaifeng, Zong Bi selected 100 horsemen to chase him, did not reach, and returned with 3,000 horses. The Jin soldiers besieged Kaifeng, and the Song Dynasty ceded peace with the Jin on the condition of ceding the three towns of Taiyuan, Zhongshan, and Hejian, and the Jin army returned to Yanjing. In August of the same year, Zong Bi once again went south with the right deputy marshal Zong Wang. In April of the following year, the Jin army captured Kaifeng, the two emperors Huizong and Qinzong surrendered, and the Northern Song Dynasty perished.

In June 1127 (the fifth year of Tianhui), Zongwang died of illness, and Zongfu succeeded him as the right deputy marshal. In December, Zong Fu was ordered to pacify the anti-Jin forces in Zi and Qing (in Shandong), and Zong Bi defeated tens of thousands of troops of Song Zheng Zongmeng in Keqing Prefecture. After attacking Linqu, near Linqu, Zong Bi first broke the anti-Jin army led by Zhao Cheng, and then defeated Song Huangqiong's army and occupied Linqu. In the first month of the sixth year of Tianhui, the auxiliary army of Zong returned to the division, and when crossing the Qinghe River, it was attacked by more than 30,000 people of the Song army, and Zong Bi defeated it, killing more than 10,000 people, and then took Puzhou, Kaide Mansion, Daming Mansion, and pacified Hebei. Zongfu stayed in Zongbi to guard Hejian Mansion, and led the army back to Yanjing.

[Search the mountains and check the sea]

In July of 1128 A.D. (the sixth year of Tianhui), Jin Taizong issued an edict to pursue Song Gaozong, who fled in Yangzhou, and Zong Bi led his headquarters to the south with Zong's auxiliary army. Zong's auxiliary army set out from Hebei, and Zongbi led his troops as the vanguard, and successively captured Puzhou, Kaide, Daming and other places. At the beginning of the seventh year of Tianhui, Zong Bi was promoted to the right supervisor of the marshal. Zong Han and Zong Fu sent tart lazy, Zong Bi, Pull out the speed, and Ma Wu to the south, and Song Gaozong fled south from Yangzhou. Zong Bi entered the Song Huainan West Road, marched into the Song Guide Mansion, attacked it, and Song Shou surrendered. Zong Bi passed through the prefectures and counties all the way, broke with one blow, or surrendered without a fight, until he reached the north bank of the Yangtze River, and occupied the important town of Hezhou (now Hexian County, Anhui) in the north of the Song River. Zong Bi wanted to cross the river from Quarry Rock, but was blocked by Guo Wei of Song Zhi Taiping Prefecture at the ferry, and he was not allowed to cross for three consecutive days.

In November of 1129 A.D. (the seventh year of Tianhui), the Wanyan Wushu army crossed the river from Majia in the southwest of Jiankang Prefecture. The Song Dynasty naval army commanded Shao Qing only one warship, led eighteen sailors to intercept the attack, the captain Zhang Qing was hit by seventeen arrows, Shao Qing and others were defeated and retreated, and the Song Dynasty commander Chen Qu was killed. In November, Zong Bi led the army to cross the river, defeated the Song army led by Du Chongsuo, captured Jiankang, and assigned the generals to the near place, Zong Bi personally led the army to take the Song Guangde military road, Huzhou (now Zhejiang), to Lin'an Mansion (now Hangzhou). When Song Gaozong heard that Lin'an did not guard, he went to Mingzhou (now Ningbo, Zhejiang). Zongbi sent Ali and Pu Luhun as the vanguard to lead 4,000 elite soldiers to pursue Song Gaozong; He also sent Lu to make up for it, and the Shulie to quickly take Yuezhou. The Ali army broke through the Song army and approached Mingzhou, and Song Gaozong boarded the ship and fled into the sea. Zong Bi then led the army to arrive, took the city of Mingzhou, Ali and Puluhun went to Changguo County (now Zhoushan Island, Zhejiang), captured Zhao Boge, the Taishou of Song Mingzhou, and learned that Song Gaozong had fled to Fuzhou via Wenzhou, and then went into the sea to pursue, and was blocked by the Song Sea Navy before retreating. Zong Bi led his army back to Lin'an.

[Fierce Battle Huang Tiandang]

In February 1130 A.D. (the eighth year of Tianhui), Zong Bi claimed that the search of mountains and seas had been completed, and he returned a large amount of gold and silver property plundered from all over the south of the Yangtze River along the canal. Before leaving, the ancient city of Lin'an, which has hundreds of years of civilization, was burned. Burning and looting continued along the way, and the people of Jiangnan suffered an unprecedented catastrophe. In March, Zong Bi's army reached Zhenjiang and was intercepted by the Song general Han Shizhong. The warships of Han Shizhong's naval division were tall and held the mouth of the river, and the Jin army could not pass. Although the Jin army had many soldiers, the ships were small and few, and they were not good at water warfare, and they fought for dozens of rounds, and the Jin army suffered heavy losses, and the Khitan and Han armies did not have more than 200 people.

The two sides held each other for 48 days, Zong Bi still could not cross the river, so he had to go back to the west of the river, drive to Jiankang, and go to Huangtiandang, Zong Bi's army followed the old road of the Lao Stork River, dug a 30-mile-long canal overnight, led to the Qinhuai River, and was able to escape back to Jiankang. Han Shizhong chased to Jiankang and blocked the river with warships. Zong Bi set up a reward, recruited people to offer a sea boat to cross the river, and a Fujian man surnamed Wang was greedy for rewarding and offering advice: the sea boat did not move without wind, and shot its canopy sail with a rocket, which was self-defeating. Zong Bi rushed to make rockets overnight. On the 25th, there was no wind in the sun, Han Shizhong's fleet stopped on the river and could not move, Zong Bi ordered the soldiers to drive a small boat to shoot rockets into its canopy sails, and the Song sailors were burned to death and drowned countless soldiers, Han Shizhong and a few soldiers abandoned the boat in Guabu and fled back to Zhenjiang by land.

In May of the same year, the Jin army crossed the river from Jing'an Town (northwest of present-day Nanjing) and returned north, and set fire to Jiankang City when they returned north. In 1130 A.D. (the eighth year of Tianhui), Yue Fei set up an ambush in Niushou Mountain, and Yue's army took stones on the spot, built fortifications, and ambushed Jin soldiers. After the victory of Niushou Mountain, he took advantage of the victory to pursue, expelled the Jin soldiers across the river and recovered Jiankang. Wanyan Zongbi's army was attacked by Song Yuefei's troops, and the Jin army suffered heavy losses. After Zong Bi returned from the north and south of the Yangtze River, he advocated not going south to attack the Song Dynasty, which shows that the lesson of the Battle of Huang Tiandang is very profound.

[Bloody Battle Fuhei]

In the autumn of 1130 A.D. (the eighth year of Tianhui), Jin Taizong transferred the right deputy marshal Zongfu to command the Shaanxi armies to attack Sichuan and Shaanxi, and Wanyan Zongbi led the headquarters to be transferred. In September, Zongfu marched into Luoshui, with Lou Room and Zong Bi as the left and right wing superintendents, and attacked together, opening the prelude to the Battle of Fuping. At that time, Zhang Jun, the commander of the Song Dynasty and Sichuan and Shaanxi, also took Liu Xi as the commander, and gathered an army several times larger than the Jin soldiers led by Liu Qi, Zhao Zhe, Wu Jue and other generals, and launched a decisive battle with the Jin army in Fuping (now north of Fuping County, Shaanxi) with layers of encirclement. It was a service, the famous generals of the Southern Song Dynasty Zhang Jun, Liu Qi, Zhao Zhe, Wu Jue and Qin Feng Lu slightly made Sun Wu to Xihe Road slightly envoy Liu Xi as the capital to control the horse infantry 180,000, known as forty, five roads and its hair gathered in Fuping, Zhang Jun sat in Pizhou to supervise the battle. In the battle, the Song army took the Jin army under the command of Wanyan Zongbi as the focus of the attack, and the offensive was fierce, and the Zongbi army was heavily surrounded, fighting from noon to dusk, fighting without retreating, pinning down the main force of the Song army, and winning time to turn the tide of the war. The Jin general Chi Zhanhui was annihilated, and the general Han Chang was shot and wounded, and he did not retreat. At this time, the Jin general Wanyan Lou Room found the weak point of the Song army - the Song army led by Zhao Zhe, so he attacked Zhao Zhe's army with all the elite cavalry led by him, Zhao Zhe's army collapsed at the first touch, Lou Room and Zong Bi combined troops to cover up, and the morale of the Jin army was greatly boosted, resulting in the collapse of the 180,000 army of the Southern Song Dynasty in an instant. The Jin army took advantage of the victory to pursue, won more with less, and won the battle of Fuping.

On the one hand, due to Zhang Jun's self-reliance on his strength, his misjudgment, and the failure to take advantage of the enemy's weakness and our strength, and the enemy's mistakes in dividing into two routes, he decisively launched an attack and delayed the fighters, on the other hand, because of Wanyan Zongbi's fierce and bravery, he pinned down the enemy's main force, and finally ended with a great victory for the Jin Dynasty, and the Southern Song Dynasty lost most of the five roads in Shaanxi.

Shortly after the Battle of Fuping, Wanyan Lou died of illness. Zongfu took Wanyan Zongbi as the right-wing commander and Alu Bu as the left-wing commander, and respectively recruited the prefectures and counties that Shaanxi had not yet captured.

[Gain and Loss Monk Yuan]

In the first month of 1131 A.D. (the ninth year of Tianhui), Song Jingyuan and Xihe were captured by Jin, Zong Fu returned to Yanjing, and Zong Bi became the commander of the Jin army in Shaanxi. In October, Wanyan Zongbi led the army from Shaanxi to take Sichuan, passing through the monk yuan (now southwest of Baoji, Shaanxi), and was stubbornly resisted by the Song Wu Jue and Wu Ling armies who held the monk yuan, and the Jin army was defeated.

In November 1133 (the 11th year of Tianhui), Zong Bi sent troops again, defeated Wu Xuan's army, and captured the monk Yuan. In February 1134 (the twelfth year of Tianhui), he led the army to attack the Xianren Pass at the gateway to Sichuan, was defeated by the Song Wu army, and retreated to Fengxiang Mansion (now Fengxiang, Shaanxi). In March, Zong Bi returned to Yanjing from Shaanxi. Zong Bi saw that the Wu brothers were good at fighting, so he no longer fought with them, and focused on outwitting. It was not until 1141 A.D. (the first year of the emperor's reign) that Zong Bi sent a letter to Song Gaozong Zhao to order the Wu brothers to withdraw their troops, so that they could win without a fight and control the Sichuan-Shaanxi area with confidence.

In 1134 A.D. (the twelfth year of Tianhui), Liu Yu of Jin ordered the puppet Qi to send troops to capture Xiangyang Mansion (now belonging to Xiangfan, Hubei) and other six counties. From May to July, Song ordered Yue Fei to lead his army to recover six counties including Xiangyang. In September, Wanyan Zongbi and the puppet Qi army jointly launched an offensive in the Lianghuai region, which was resolutely resisted by Han Shizhong and Yue Fei's army.

[Out and out]

In the first month of 1135 A.D. (the thirteenth year of Tianhui), Jin Taizong died, Jin Xizong ascended the throne, and immediately began to reform the political system of Jin, and Zong Bi was one of the important figures who assisted Xizong in carrying out reforms.

In 1137 A.D. (the fifteenth year of Tianhui), Wanyan Zongbi was promoted to the right deputy marshal and the king of Fengliang. In November, the "puppet Qi" regime was abolished and the decree was returned to the imperial court. Liu Yu was abolished as the king of Shu and set up a province of Shangshu in Bianjing.

In 1138 A.D. (the first year of the Emperor's reign), he led the three provincial affairs Zong Pan and Zong Jun to dictate power in the imperial court, and the left deputy marshal was lazy, and the land of Henan and Shaanxi was ceded back to the Song Dynasty. In this regard, Zong Bi supported Zong Gan and others in the court and resolutely opposed them. In the second year, Xizong was convicted of treason, punished Zongpan and Zongjun, and relieved the tart lazy military power. Bai Zongbi was the marshal of the capital and the king of Yue. In three years, the tart lazy and the Song people were bribed in traffic, and Xizong ordered Zong Bi to punish the lazy, crowned him as the Taibao, and led Yanjing Xingtai Shangshu Province. At the request of Zong Bi, Xizong launched another war against the Song Dynasty and sent troops to recapture the land of Henan and Shaanxi that were originally returned to the Song Dynasty. Since most of the guards in Henan and Shaanxi were old Jin and "Qi" officials, the Jin army attacked and surrendered one after another. In January, the Jin army captured most of Henan and Shaanxi, Song Yuefei and other troops retreated to the area south of Yingchang (now Xuchang, Henan), and Zong Bi successfully entered Bianjing.

Zong Bi attempted to take advantage of the situation to occupy the area north of the Huai River, and then waved his army south, and was defeated by Song Liu Qi's troops in Shunchang (now Fuyang, Anhui), and defeated Yue Fei's troops in Yuncheng and Yingchang, and Zong Bi was almost captured. The situation was extremely favorable to the Song Dynasty, and Yue Fei also took advantage of the victory to march into the army, and there was a great tendency to recover Henan and attack Hebei. However, Song Gaozong ordered Yue Fei to take the class, so all the Song troops withdrew from Henan. In September, Zong Bi entered the court, and it was Shi Xizong who toured south to Yanjing, and Zuo Prime Minister Wanyan Xiyin was also among the accompanying hundred officials. Zong Bi wanted to return to the Marshal's Mansion (stationed in Qizhou), and at the banquet, Xi Yin and Zong Bi had a bitter speech, and Zong Bi was furious. When he resigned to Empress Pei Manshi the next day, he described his affairs in detail, saying that Xi Yin had bad words and deeds. After Zong Bi left, the queen made a statement to Xizong, and Xizong sent someone to recover Zongbi, and Xu Zongbi punished Xiyin. then killed Xi Yin and his two sons, and killed Xi Yin's henchman Xiao Qing and his son. In the following year, Zong Bi was promoted to the prime minister of Zuo and served in the middle of the army, and still served as the marshal of the capital, leading the Taishang book to save trouble.

After Jin recaptured Henan and Shaanxi, Xingtai Shangshu Province moved from Yanjing to Bianjing, mainly in charge of the areas ruled by the former "Pseudo-Qi". Wanyan Zongbi eliminated the maladministration of "Qi" in Xingtai, adopted Fan Gong's suggestion, reduced the old tax by one-third, and the people were able to recover. He also ordered the soldiers of the original "Qi" army to disarm and return to the field, and the people were very happy. Strictly enforce the rule of culture, select capable officials, pay attention to financial use, and value literati. More than 10 celebrities were selected to prepare officials and subordinates. Zhao Yuan, a native of Fanyang, Zhuozhou, has been in Xingtai for ten years, and the officials are sensitive, and Zong Bi knows it well. That's what he said. Zong Bi selected Cai Songnian, Cao Wangzhi, Xu Lin, Zhang Zhizhou, etc., until King Hailing and Sejong Dynasty were all famous financial ministers. The social economy of the north has recovered to a certain extent.

Most of the Han officials supported by Zong Bi were former ministers of the former Song Dynasty, and they had conflicts with Han Qixian, Meng Hao, Tian Jue and others, the former Han officials of the Liao Dynasty who were reused in the early Jin Dynasty. In May of the first year of the emperor's reign, Zong died, and soon Zong Bi returned to Beijing to assist Xizong, appointed Cai Songnian as a member of the criminal department, and began to support the new Han official group in the imperial court. In the sixth year of the emperor's reign, the right prime minister Han Qi died of illness first, and Tian Jue was squeezed out of the court by Zong Bi. In June of the seventh year, he killed Tian Jue, Xi Yi and many others under the pretext of killing them, and Meng Hao and other 34 people were accused of migrating to the sea as comrades. Shangshu Province was empty. The new Hanguan group supported by Zong Bi replaced the old Hanguan group.

[Sick Stroke]

Since the defeat of Shunchang and Yingchang in 1140 A.D. (the third year of Tianjuan), Zong Bi did not give up his plan to draw Huai with the Song Dynasty. Due to Zongbi's request, Xizong issued an edict to attack the Song Dynasty.

In February 1141 (the first year of the emperor's reign), Kelu Prefecture. Fought with the Song army in Zhegao Town, was defeated, and each returned to the army. Zong Bi sent a secret letter to Qin Hui, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, demanding that "Yue Fei must be killed before peace can be negotiated", urging Song Gaozong to cede the land and negotiate peace. In September, Zong Bi first released the two detained Song envoys, expressed his willingness to negotiate peace, and then personally led a large army to cross the Huai River, breaking Sizhou, Haozhou and other places. Song Gaozong sent an envoy to express his willingness to accept the terms of the peace negotiation.

In February 1142 (the second year of the Emperor's reign), the two sides formally signed a contract in the twelfth year of Song Shaoxing, known as the "Shaoxing Peace Conference" (or "Imperial Peace Conference") in history: the two countries are bounded by Huaishui in the east and Dasanguan in the west, and half of the Tang and Deng states in the upper reaches of Huaishui and Shang and Qin in the west were ceded to the Jin Dynasty. The Southern Song Dynasty proclaimed himself a minister to Jin, and lost 250,000 taels of silver and silk to the year. In March, Zong Bi returned to the court, and supervised the history of the country, to worship the Taifu, give the population, cattle, horses, camels, sheep, and silver.

Since the imperial peace conference, Zong Bi has always adhered to the policy of "reconciliation between the north and the south", advocating that the Song Dynasty be destroyed in one fell swoop when the time is ripe. Therefore, until the southern invasion of King Hailing (1161 AD), there was almost no war on the border between Jin and Song for 20 years, which had a positive effect on the economic and cultural development of both sides.

In 1147 A.D. (the seventh year of the emperor's reign), he served as the Taishi, ordered the three provinces, and was the marshal, and was in charge of the military and political power.

In August of 1148 A.D. (the eighth year of the emperor's reign), Zong Bi entered the "Taizu Record". In October, he died. In 1175 A.D. (the fifteenth year of Dading), Jin Shizong posthumously praised him as a loyal martyr. In 1178 A.D. (the eighteenth year of Dading), Zongbi was able to enjoy the Taimiao.

【Character Evaluation】

[General Comments]

Wanyan Zongbi and Wen Taowu played a great role in the rise of the Jurchens. He led the army to invade the south many times, causing the Central Plains and the Jianghuai region to suffer countless lives, and his life was dedicated to annexing the Southern Song Dynasty to rule China, and he was an outstanding military commander in the history of the Jurchen people.

[Reviews of the past dynasties]

"Jin History": "Zong Bi and the Song Dynasty are on the island, and they make a covenant to draw Huai. Xizong raised Henan, Shaanxi and the Song people, and the one who was correct, Zong Bi also. Zong Han died, Zong Pan, Zong Jun, and Tart were lazy and rich, everyone had the heart of self-reliance, and the sect was independent, and it could not be like that. ”

Jin Shizong: "After Zong Han, only Zong Bi is alone. ”

Li Qiong: "Personally came to the battle to supervise the battle, the arrows and stones intersected, and Wang Fuxuan, commanding the three armies, was self-willed, and won with soldiers, all with Sun and Wu, which can be described as a heroic talent." As for the pro-risk, if you don't take refuge in it, the soldiers will look at it, who dares to love it to death? It should be forward, and the country will be thousands of miles away. ”

"Asking for Wuzhu and Other Books": "But Bi Wuzhu, the fourth prince, is a good soldier and endures killing, and is happy and greedy. Yin has no king's heart, and he is the head of the rebellion. Murdered his uncle and seized military power. He is not sympathetic to the loss of strong men and horses, but also to the hardships of the people. …… The sin is in the selfishness of a husband, and the poison is used by the people of the world. ”

Lu Yihao: "The ministers have heard of it in Yanshan Mansion, Dalan is scheming and cowardly, and the fourth prince is scheming and brave. ”

Wang Fuzhi: "Wushu crossed the river to the south, swept Wu and Hui, chased Gaozong in Siming, and went to the east to the seashore; He will chase the Empress Dowager Longyou, go south to the soap mouth of Qianzhou, sweep Chujiang in the west, trap Yue and Tan, and Wuchang is in his arms. ”

【Historical Sites】

The Manchus, the descendants of the Jurchen nation, are quite nostalgic and admired for this generation of influential figures. Today, there are many relics of Wanyan Zongbi in the white mountains and black waters. Although this river was not necessarily dug by Wanyan Zongbi, it was directly related to the expansion of the Liao-Song War in the early Jin Dynasty, when the canal was dug to alleviate the transportation of the Ash River. "Wanyan Zongbi Grain River" is about 50 kilometers long, the southeast starting point is near Guangqingzhuang, Yangshu Township, Acheng, northwest flows through the junction of Shuangcheng and Harbin, and joins the Songhua River near Xixiakan, Xinnong Township, Daoli District. Although most of it is now farmland, you can still make out the approximate appearance. In addition, there are the old Wushu tomb (Liaoqing Mausoleum), Wanyan Zongbi Tun Grain Platform (Suihua Sifang Terrace), Wanyan Zongbi Beheading General Platform (Aguta Mausoleum) and so on.

【Grave Site】

Go 10 kilometers east of Ruzhou City, that is, to Wanzhuang, Zhifang Township, Ruzhou City, Henan Province. In Wanzhuang, there are 220 villagers surnamed Wanyan, whose household registration book is filled in with "Manchu" in the ethnic column, and they are the descendants of Wanyan Zongbi, the general of the Jin Dynasty in China, and their ancestors have lived in Wanzhuang for more than 800 years.

As the official history of the "Jin History" records, Wanyan Zongbi was killed in 1148. According to the "History of the Song Dynasty", the Wushu class teacher died of illness in a few years. However, neither history records where he died. Li Quanhai published an article in the eighth volume of "Ruzhou Cultural and Historical Materials" in February 2005, saying that it was recorded in the "Jin Shi Xizong Benji" that Wushu was often in the army, and he returned to the court when he had something to do, and he never stayed in the court. Li Quanhai also said in the article that there are three known tombs of Wanyan Zongbi: one is in Acheng, Heilongjiang; the second is Jinling in Dafang Mountain, Beijing; The third is to finish the village in Ruzhou. Acheng is Wanyan Zongbi's hometown, Kaifeng is thousands of miles away from Acheng, and the body may not be well preserved in terms of traffic conditions at that time. The construction of Jinling in Beijing was later than Wanyan Zongbi's death, which is not credible.

According to the people of the Wanyan family, they clearly remember that the inscription on the cemetery of Wanzhuang has the words "Tomb of the Fourth Prince of Jin Wanyan". However, during the "Great Leap Forward" period in the 50s of the last century, this stone tablet was broken into three sections and built into a stone track as a way to the field.

Later, when the village was leveled in the grave, Wanyan Benyu, who was the secretary of the village party branch at the time, led by example and took the lead in leveling his own old grave. However, like the previous two theories, the Ruzhou Wanzhuang theory still does not have enough historical data to support it. Where is the cemetery of Wanyan Zongbi, it is still an unsolved case.

In Qian Cai's "The Complete Biography of Yue" in the Qing Dynasty, Wanyan Zongbi is the reincarnation of the red bearded dragon, wearing a gold-inlaid elephant trunk helmet with golden light; Two pheasant tails are inserted next to them, and they are divided from side to side. Wearing a red brocade embroidered robe, covered with gold inlaid with dragon scale armor; Sits on a four-hoofed snow and fire dragon foal, holding a crested gorsebox axe in his hand. It seems to be a pioneer of the mountain, like a demon king of the mixed world. With the strength of thousands of catties, he once lifted the iron dragon and led troops to attack the Song Dynasty many times. The ending was to die of anger because he was ridden on his back by Niu Gao.
