Biography of Yang Family Generals

It mainly tells the stories of three generations of Yang Ye's ancestors and grandchildren who resisted the Liao Dynasty. After a long period of circulation and processing, these stories have become very different from the original appearance of history. For example, the death of Yang Ye is recorded in "History of the Song Dynasty" and "History of the Liao Dynasty" that he was defeated and captured, and died on a hunger strike for three days. There are only a few sentences. In the novel, there is a lot of fiction and exaggeration, and the plot of Yang Ye hitting Li Ling's monument to death is staged, making this death more tragic and intense. Since the Song and Yuan Dynasties, ethnic conflicts have been very acute. Under this historical background, people have continued to spread and recreate the stories of the Yang family to express their patriotism. It should be said that this patriotic theme is the most valuable ideological content in the story of the Yang family generals.
