History vs. fiction

A Shang-Zhou female general skilled in using the Five-Colored Stone

  • In 「封神演义」, volume 053, it is recorded that she: “见哪吒赶来,挂下刀,取五光石掌在手中,回手一下,正中哪吒脸上。” As the daughter of Deng Jiugong, Deng Chanyu in the novel is not only skilled in martial arts, but also with her hidden weapon, the Five Light Stone, causes great trouble for the Chan sect disciples like Nezha and Huang Tianhua, who are powerful in magic. The 「史记」 records that the battles between Shang and Zhou were mostly chariot and positional warfare, with no hidden weapon tactics, and rarely female generals leading troops. Deng Chanyu is purely a fictional creation of the novel to cater to popular tastes.
