Where is Song Wu from?

Excerpt, I hope it is useful:

The Water Margin is also known as loyalty to the Water Margin and Jianghu Hawk Biography. According to the story of Sung River Uprising in Song, Jin and Yuan Dynasties, it was written into a script. More than 200 years later, Shi Naian created China's first vernacular novel "Water Margin" based on scripts, folk stories and operas, which is of milestone significance in the history of China vernacular literature development. "Water Margin" covers almost everything in feudal society. The astrology, Goulan tile house and singing provide us with a picture of customs in all aspects of social life in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Many friends in Shandong say that Song Wu is their compatriot, and Shandong people are proud of having a hero like Song Wu in Shandong.

Therefore, Song Wu should be from Shandong. But if you ask again: Which county in Shandong is Song Wu from? Shandong friends can't answer.

In fact, this problem has been clearly explained in Chapter 22 of Water Margin: Song Jiang killed Yan Poxi, and his younger brother Song Qing fled to the villa in Chai Jin, Cangzhou, and met Song Wu.

Song Jiang helped Han up and asked, "Who is the first step? High surname? " Chai Jin pointed: "This man is from Qinghe County. Wu and Song ranked second. I have been here for a year. "

But the question is: Does Qinghe County belong to Shandong Province?

Look at the map, the boundary between Shandong and Hebei, from Dezhou to Linqing, is bounded by the Grand Canal. Qinghe County is in the west of the Grand Canal, and Qinghe County obviously belongs to Hebei Province! Isn't it a joke that Song Wu, a Shandong hero who is proud of being from Shandong, is not from Shandong? If we say that because Song Wu used to fight tigers in yanggu county, Shandong Province, he was hired as the chief by Yanggu County Magistrate (equivalent to the captain of the criminal police team of the Public Security Bureau today), Wu Dalang has moved from Qinghe County to yanggu county to settle down and turn Song Wudang into a native of yanggu county, Shandong Province, isn't it too reluctant?

Looking at history, Qinghe County was located in the early years of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty. In the era of Emperor Gaozu, Qinghe County was first established here, and later it was changed to Qinghe Prefecture many times. After the Han and Yuan Dynasties, it was designated as a county. The jurisdiction is equivalent to the surrounding areas of Qinghe County in Hebei Province today, including several counties and cities adjacent to Shandong Province today. After the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was changed to Qinghe Prefecture. The Northern Wei Dynasty is still called Qinghe County. At the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, the county-level administrative divisions were abolished, and after the great cause of the Sui Dynasty, it was restored to Qinghe County. In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the county was established as a state, and the county was under the jurisdiction of the state. Qinghe County in the early Tang Dynasty belonged to Zhou Bei, and the state government was located in Qinghe County. In the Song Dynasty, Zhou Bei was renamed Zhou En, and the state governance was still located in Qinghe County, under the jurisdiction of Hebei East Road, and the road governance was located in Daming House. Although there was no organizational system in Shandong Province and Hebei Province in the Song Dynasty, there was already an organizational system of "road" (the road was smaller than the province). Therefore, there is a saying in Water Margin that "Hu Baoyi in Shandong and Yu Qilin in Hebei". Shandong and Hebei here do not refer to provinces, but to directions. Later, the Yuan Dynasty established provinces, which were also split on the basis of "Tao" in Liao and Song Dynasties. The Grand Canal was built in the Sui Dynasty. Of course, it was only after the Sui Dynasty that the Grand Canal was used as the border between Shandong and Hebei. In this way, Qinghe county belongs to Hebei in history, not to Shandong. The Water Margin was written in Yuan Dynasty and published in Ming Dynasty. Shandong people "assumed" Song Wu as a fellow countryman, which should be after the Ming Dynasty. It is said that the borders of Hebei, Shandong and Henan often change. Even yanggu county, which belongs to Shandong Province today, once belonged to Henan Province, and Qinghe County once belonged to Shandong Province. This is not impossible. No record of Qinghe county was found, so I dare not talk nonsense. However, judging from the historical evolution, Qinghe County mainly belongs to Hebei rather than Shandong, so there should be no problem.

In fact, even in the contemporary broadcast of Shandong Kuaishu and Pinghua, Song Wu was not said to be from Shandong. For the first time, Gao Yuanjun's Shandong fast book "Song Wuchuan" said, "I learned that Song Wu lived in Qinghe County, Guangfu, Zhili." . "Zhili" refers to the area directly under the capital, usually around the capital; Guangfu refers to Guangping County, which is located in Yongnian County, Hebei Province. There were prefectures and counties in Zhili in Song Dynasty, but Guangping Prefecture and Qinghe County were not Zhili. Hebei Province was called "Zhili" in Qing Dynasty, which shows that Gao Yuanjun's statement was the title of "at that time" handed down by the ancestors of Qing Dynasty. Wang Litang's Yangzhou commentary Song Wu also said for the first time: "Who is Song Wu? He is from Qinghe County, Guangping Prefecture, Beizhi. " "Northern knowledge" refers to "northern knowledge". There were two capitals in the Ming Dynasty, Nanjing and Beijing, so today's Jiangsu Province is called "South Zhili" and today's Hebei Province is called "North Zhili". It seems that Wang Litang's statement may have been handed down from her ancestors.

It is only in Jin Ping Mei that it is said for the first time: "During the period of Song Huizong, there was a romantic child in Qinghe County, Dongping Prefecture, Shandong Province ... who took the surname of Ximen, but he only kept the word' Qing'." Qinghe county belongs to Dongping prefecture in Shandong province. Shandong people recognized Song Wu as a fellow countryman, probably here. Jin Ping Mei was published in Chongzhen period of Ming Dynasty. The author was from the Ming Dynasty, when the system of "provincial administration" was established. Press: Dongping House was located in the Song Dynasty, and the Yuan Dynasty was changed to the Ming Dynasty. It belongs to Wenshang, Pingyin, Dongping, Liangshan, Feicheng, Yanggu and Dong 'e counties in Shandong today, but there is no Qinghe county. It can be seen that Xiao Xiaosheng in Lanling is also talking nonsense and has not been verified. He not only brought Qinghe County into Shandong territory, but also described Song Wu's native place as yanggu county, the place where tigers were killed as Qinghe County, and moved Jingyanggang to Qinghe County. He returned to yanggu county from Cangzhou to visit his brother, passing by Qinghe County, and accidentally killed the tiger. -Xiao Xiaosheng of Lanling corrected Song Wu's route mistake when he returned to Qinghe's hometown from Cangzhou, but gave Qinghe County to Shandong people.

In any case, it is certain that Qinghe County belongs to Hebei, not Shandong. -This is my textual research. Shandong people have lost a hero to be proud of, but they will scold me.
