Corrigendum to Records of the Historian in Admiralty

The biography of Jinzhong in Ming Dynasty written by Zhang in Qing Dynasty described Jinzhong as a professional diviner, which originated from the "Book Encounter of Shanxi Merchants" in Huang Yu's hearsay novel Shuanghuai Sui Dynasty during Hongzhi period in Ming Dynasty. He used his own imagination. Wang Shizhen, a famous historian in the Ming Dynasty, thought that Huang Yu believed in rumors by mistake. In Volume 22, Historical Errors, Achievements and Tests, he said wrongly: "I am afraid that Fu Hui's words are not credible." However, the descriptions of Zhang and Huang Yu are quite different from the life history of Jinzhong, which can be verified. Now they are circulated as official history and should be corrected.
