History vs. fiction

A figure from the Northern Song Dynasty, recorded in official history.

  • Official histories such as the 'Annals of Taizong, Volume 2' record: 'In the third month, on the day of Xinyou, Gao Qiong was appointed as the commander of the Bing and Dai circuits. On the day of Renyin, the emperor personally examined the candidates of the Ministry of Rites.' The historical novel 'Chapter 5' also records this. This person is indeed a real historical figure, with precise records in relevant historical books, but the novel's adaptation fails to preserve his image. No record found in official history; purely a fictional character created by later generations based on artistic needs, enriching the overall storyline.
