In history, Liang Shanbo’s wife was

There are indeed real people like Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai in history.

During the Ming Dynasty, there was a county official named Liang Shanbo in Yinzhou (now Ningbo, Zhejiang). He is an upright official, handles cases impartially, and eliminates harm for the people. At that time, there were no robbers, no thieves, and no murders in Yin County, and the people could live and work in peace and contentment. Everyone was full of praise for Magistrate Liang. Call him Sai Baogong and Liang Qingtian.

At that time, the official term was three years. Because Liang Shanbo had a good reputation as an official, when his three-year term was over, the emperor wanted to promote him to take office elsewhere. When the local people heard the news, they were reluctant to leave Liang Shanbo. Many people knelt at the gate of the county government office, begging him to stay. Seeing how enthusiastic the people were, Liang Shanbo wrote a memorial to the emperor and refused to be promoted. After the emperor agreed, Liang Shanbo still stayed in Yin County.

It turned out that when Liangshan Bo came to Yinxian to take office, his wife had already died and he had no children, and he did not renew his marriage when he arrived in Yinxian. People advised him to marry another wife so that he could succeed him in the future. Liang Shanbo laughed and said: "Don't the people in Yin County respect me as their parents? Why should I remarry?"

He devoted himself to serving the people and served three consecutive terms in Yin County for nine years. County magistrate. In the last year, he suffered from cold and could not bear to fall ill and passed away.

After Liang Shanbo died, the people of Yin County were very sad. The local elders chose a foundation for his tomb. People chose Huqiao Town (now Gaoqiao Town, Yinzhou District, Ningbo) because of its beautiful mountains and clear waters. In addition, it was an important water and land route, making it easier for future generations to pay their respects, so they built Liang Shanbo's tomb there!

When digging the ground, it was discovered that there was a grave underneath. On the front of a stone tablet were carved the seven characters "Tomb of the Heroine Zhu Yingtai", and on the back was an epitaph, to the effect of: Zhu Yingtai. Tai was a heroine from the Chen Kingdom in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. During her lifetime, she robbed the rich and gave to the poor. She specialized in killing corrupt officials. Later, she was murdered by Ma Wencai and his son. It turns out that Ma Wen is the son of corrupt official Ma Taishou. He has practiced martial arts since he was a child. In order to help the poor, Zhu Yingtai came to steal money three times. The third time he was ambushed by Ma Wencai and he was unfortunately arrested. Ma Wencai was a playboy and relied on his martial arts skills. He wanted to forcibly molest Zhu Yingtai. Zhu Yingtai resisted and kicked Ma Wencai in the vital part. Ma Wencai He vomited blood and died. Governor Ma was furious and ordered his soldiers to cut Zhu Yingtai's body into pieces with knives, staining the stepstones with blood, and abandon the body in the wild. The poor people collected Zhu Yingtai's body, pooled their money to buy her a coffin for burial, and later carved a stone to record the event. Because Zhu Yingtai died bleeding for the people, her name was written in red paint on the front of the tombstone to commemorate her. Later, as time went by, Zhu Yingtai's tomb gradually sank into the ground.

This is the tomb of a heroine. How can it be demolished? If it is not demolished, will another tomb foundation be chosen for Liang Shanbo? It was also difficult to find a good tomb foundation for a while. At that time, an old man suggested: Since Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai are both good people who work for our poor people, and they are both single, why don't we build a big tomb for them. Everyone agreed with the old man's suggestion, so they buried Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai from thousands of years ago in the same grave. A large stone tablet was erected in front of the tomb, with two rows of words chiselled. Zhu Yingtai's name is written in red paint, indicating that she is a heroine who shed blood and died for the people. Liang Shanbo's name is written in black paint, indicating that he is an upright official in the Baolong pattern.

The people also pooled money to build a Liangshanbo temple nearby as a memorial to the upright official Liangshanbo by the people of Yinxian County. After several legends and evolutions, many beautiful and touching stories about Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai have emerged.
