History vs. fiction

The female general of Hu Family Village

  • The historical Song Jiang uprising was actually quite small in scale, and historical records do not mention a female military officer named Hu Sanniang participating in the rebel army. The episodes of the three attacks on the Zhu Family Manor and the Hu Family Manor in the Water Margin story are also fictional battles invented by the novel to stretch the narrative. It is worth noting that in the list of thirty-six names in 'The Great Song's Xuanhe Legacy,' 'One Zhang Qing' was actually Zhang Heng's nickname. The author of the novel 'Water Margin' cleverly extracted this nickname to create a tragic and beautiful female general, which is a typical example of literary fiction and reinvention. The original text reads: "扈家庄女将“一丈青”扈三娘,一骑青鬃马上,抡两口日月双刀" (Water Margin, Chapter 048)
