History vs. fiction
Dong Xian's military exploits and martial arts transformation
In the official history 'History of Song: Biography of Yue Fei', there is a clear verdict: 'At that time, the puppet Qi stationed troops to spy on Tangzhou, Yue Fei sent Wang Gui, Dong Xian, and others to attack and break them, burning their camps'; but in the novel 'The Complete Story of Yue Fei, Chapter 77', he becomes a completely different image: 'The dark-faced one said: "I am Dong Yaozong, son of Dong Xian, and this is Wang Biao, son of Commander Wang Gen, both here to join Brother Yue Er."
