History vs. fiction

A Northern Song official who was demoted for attacking Cai Jing.

  • The official history "History of Song" in the biography of Zhang Shuye records: "Chen Guan attacked Cai Jing, and originally was on good terms with [Zhang Shuye], or it was said that [Zhang Shuye] actually instigated it, and he was stripped of his post and lived in Hezhou." There is no record of him leading troops. The novel "Water Margin" in chapter 101 records: "I beg Your Majesty to order Chen Guan, Song Jiang, and others not to return to the capital, but to lead troops and rush to Yuzhou and other places day and night." This is fictional.
