History vs. fiction
The fictional nature of the Thunderclap Fire
In "Water Margin", Qin Ming was originally a high-ranking local military commander in the imperial court, wielding a wolf-tooth club, who fell into banditry because his family was tragically killed due to a treacherous scheme by Song Jiang. However, considering the actual historical background, the military system of prefectures and states in the Song Dynasty was strict, and there is no record in the "History of Song" of an imperial commander named Qin Ming in the Qingzhou area who surrendered to Song Jiang's rebel forces after failing to suppress bandits. Historically, Song Jiang's gang was limited in scale and did not incorporate large numbers of regular imperial troops as an organized unit; Qin Ming's joining the Liangshan outlaws is purely literary fiction. The original text states: "青州指挥司总管本州兵马秦统制", and describes him as "性格急躁,声若雷霆". ("Water Margin", Chapter 34)
