"The Biography of Generals of the Yang Family" narrates the story of the early Northern Song Dynasty in the history of my country, when Song Taizu, Song Taizong, and Song Zhenzong conquered the northern and western border regimes such as the Northern Han Dynasty, Liao Kingdom, and Xixia, and unified the Central Plains. The book focuses on the evocative deeds of three generations of heroes, men and women, old and young, who went to war for the country, endured humiliation and fought bloody battles to unify China. It shaped heroic figures such as Yang Ye, Yang Liulang, Yang Zongbao, Taijun She, and Mu Guiying, and lashed out at the ugly behavior of treacherous ministers and corrupt officials such as Pan Renmei and Wang Qinruo who were jealous of talents and betrayed the interests of the nation and the country just for their own selfish interests.
The novel boldly and passionately portrays the image of a large number of female generals from the Yang clan who are as good as their men. They are superb in martial arts, bold in character, smart and smart, and dominate the battlefield. They are completely free from the shackles of the feudal ethics of women's ethics and hierarchy, and are well-known and talked about by ordinary people. "The Complete Biography of Shuo Hu" is also known as "The Generals of the Hu Family", "The Complete Biography of the Descendants of the Hu Family", and "The Romance of the Purple Gold Whip". It consists of 12 volumes and 40 chapters. The author's name has been lost. The earliest visible version is the one published by Jin Chang Shu Ye Tang during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. It mainly tells the story of Huyan Pixian, the son of Huyanzan, who was framed by the traitor Pang Wen during the reign of Renzong in the Song Dynasty. More than 300 members of his family were killed. Huyanshouyong and Huyan Shouxin, the sons of Huyanpixian, fought against the traitorous minister.
The novel is developed from storytelling, drum writing, etc. The language is easy to understand and vivid, but the structure is loose, the context is not connected, and the plot is repeated in many places. The author focuses on the plot, not the description. However, from the perspective of folk literature, if we look past its literary surface and explore its deep cultural characteristics, we will find that there are indeed many things in it that, as Zheng Zhenduo said, "there are many materials that are sufficient for reference", so that they can be circulated among the people.
Reader comments
I hate the most traitorous ministers like Pang Wen, who bring disaster to the country and the people, and make people hate him with itch. However, the structure of the book is a bit loose and the plot is repetitive. But overall, it is still worth reading and it made me understand that period of history better.
