History vs. fiction
Fictional famous general not found in official history
- novel inventionLuo Yi's son, Cold-faced Cold Spear Luo Cheng
In 'Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties', the 'Cold-faced Cold Spear' Luo Cheng shines, being a cousin of Qin Qiong and leaving behind many legendary stories. However, in official histories such as the 'Old Book of Tang' and the 'New Book of Tang', there is no such person as Luo Cheng at all. He is purely a literary figure invented by folk artists and novelists to enrich the heroic lineage of the Sui and Tang dynasties.
