abstract

Wang Baochuan, the daughter of North Korean Prime Minister Wang Yun in Tang Yizong, ignored her parents' words and married poor Xue Pinggui. After Xue Pinggui joined the army, his parents kicked him out of the house, and Wang Baochuan lived alone in the cold kiln 18 years. Later, Xue Pinggui became a hero of the imperial court, and Wang Baochuan also entered the imperial court, and the husband and wife were reunited.

There are two views on the textual research of historical materials.

There is no textual research for a certain month. A rich man in Shanxi celebrated his mother's birthday and asked the troupe to sing Fenhe Bay and other plays. This play is about Xue and Liu.

Finally, a local famous doctor learned the root cause and offered a reward for the original script of Xue Troupe. In order not to violate history, a scholar invented a "Xue Pinggui". After the play, the rich woman was overjoyed and recovered. Since then, there has been a situation of "two literati coexist" on the stage of traditional Chinese opera.

There is also a saying that Xue was later crowned king, and one person gained the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascended to heaven. Most of the Xue family also moved to Beijing (Jin 'an) with Xue Conglongmen (Hejin).

Later, Shanxi people were proud of having a local Xue, singing opera and building a cold kiln. Shaanxi people have always loved to compete with Shanxi, thinking that the Xue family has lived in Shaanxi since then, but Shanxi people have made a splash.

They also made up a play. Because I dare not go against history, I turned Xue into Liu, and a fictional play came out.
