Bao Qingtian is a literary star. What is the explanation?

In the first section of the first chapter of Water Margin, Bao Zheng is satellites. Excerpt: "Finally, the Jade Emperor sent two stars from Wei Zi Palace to assist the emperor of this dynasty: Wenquxing was Bao Zheng, a great scholar of Longtuge, the owner of Nanya Kaifeng House, and Wu Quxing was Di Qing, the marshal of Xixia Kingdom. These two sages came out to assist the emperor. "

In general folk beliefs, prophecies and literary works, it is believed that Yi Yin of Yin Shang, Bigan of the rich man, Bao Zheng, Fan Zhongyan, Wen Tianxiang, the direct bachelor of Yinlongtuge of Kaifeng Prefecture in Song Dynasty, and Xu Shilin, the son of Xu Xian, the hero of White Snake Legend, are all reincarnated by satellites.

China folk stories about Bao Zheng are quite rich, which can be said to be unique in popular literature. After Bao Zheng's death, the story of Bao Zheng spread among the people.

The writing of contract and the appearance of three cases in Baolong to solve unjust cases are the earliest stories of Bao Zheng's judgment created by Song people. Although it is not the story of Bao Zheng's conviction that the Duke of Song Dynasty made a scene to ban the soul, Bao Zheng's name appeared at the end of the article: "Only when Bao became a prefect will these thieves be afraid. When people are scattered, the place will be quiet. " But generally speaking, there are not many stories about Bao Zheng in Song and Yuan books.

Bao Zheng is incorruptible, fair, resolute, independent, just and wise, and dares to redress grievances for the people, so it is called "Bao Qingtian" and "Bao Gong", and the capital has the saying that "Yamaraja will protect its old age if it fails to reach unity". Later generations regarded him as a god, regarded him as the reincarnation of Kuixing, and was also called "Bao Qingtian" because of his black face image.
