She is one of the important figures in the Romance of Yang Jiajiang and the Romance of Yangjiafu, but in history, this famous heroine does not actually exist, and Yang Jiajiang does not have the grandeur and many stories in the Romance, but because of the Romance, many people think it is a true story.
According to "Romance", Mu, Shan Li's mother's apprentice in the Song Dynasty, lived in the period of, and married a son, Yang, a female. Yang's family must be a seed. When all the men died, 100-year-old She Taijun took over the command, and Mu Guiying led 12 widows to the west.
Of course, all this is deductive. As we all know, the Song Dynasty emphasized the suppression by force, and the force of the whole Song Dynasty was humbled. A slightly similar military commander has made some achievements and will be suppressed by civil society. For example, Ouyang Xiu's dog of Diqing family has horns, and Su Shi, an unsuccessful scholar, even made a rumor that Wei Qing licked hemorrhoids for Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. This should be his duty.
As a result, the imperial examination system attracted a large number of people, studying hard all day, and soldiers were regarded as criminals. Under the joint suppression of imperial power and civil servants, Nuoda Song Dynasty was subject to people everywhere, and men had long been doomed. No matter how cheeky a person is, there is no way for future generations to wash away the shame of men in the Song Dynasty.
So there are fictional characters who are half man and half god to defend the country, and even widows' groups. It is obviously interesting to have literati after the Song Dynasty satirize the literati in the Song Dynasty.
Mu is Li Shan's mother's apprentice. The ancient history of our country is false, and myths are interspersed in history, especially the cultural prosperity since the Song and Ming Dynasties. The imperial examination system makes scholars a profession. The greatest achievement of these people who do nothing all day is to integrate myths and historical stories of different times and cultures into a complete myth system.
The artistic image improvement of many ancient immortals was carried out after the Song and Ming Dynasties. Before Song and Ming Dynasties, it was only concise. After the Song Dynasty, they were endowed with rich story lines, improved functions, and so on. They even found some apprentices for immortals, or an old immortal for mortals to help them display their abilities, or to establish the possibility of becoming immortals.
Mu's story came into being under such a background. At that time, men were no good, and later generations felt timid. So, turning around, there is no reliable man, so I have to find a woman. In order to prove this woman's ability, we found her an old fairy mother Lishan, and the rest was completely natural.
Anyway, as long as it is within a reasonable range, any story in the past can be compiled, whether it is to defeat Liao or conquer Xixia. Without changing the historical development, it is futile to fight in the south and fight in the north, no matter how great the victory is, just like the Water Margin.
After the Southern Expedition to the North, Mu, who was nearly sixty years old, had many endings, such as hiding in the mountains, dying in Xixia, being sealed off and so on. Obviously, this ending is the result of the same story circulating in different places, or the storyteller at that time deliberately changed it in order to become a hit.
About Mu's death, this is a folk saying, that is, it comes from storytellers. As for the source, there is no textual research, but it is a fictional character, and what kind of ending is harmless.
