Howard in Minxi is a real person. He lived from 1720 to 1797. He was a manor owner in Hanover in the18th century. He came from a noble family and was a baron.

This person did take part in two wars between Russia and Turkey, liked hunting, was humorous by nature, and was good at telling stories. He is not a braggart. "The Story of a Boastmaster" was collected by Professor Raspe and attached to Minxi Howard. Raspe is knowledgeable, intelligent and lively.

In 1788, he was awarded the honorary title of "excellent linguist with high honor" in Great Britain for introducing German romantic poetry to the British.

At the end of 1786 or the beginning of 1787, he published the Adventures of the Big Boatman anonymously in Britain (subtitled "Documentary of Baron Xie Yunyi Howard Johnson's Travel and Combat Adventures in Russia").

Later, the German narrative poet Bilger (1747-1794) translated it into German, supplemented and polished it, making The Story of Howard Min an elegant, exquisite, beautiful, cheerful, clear, concise and humorous large-scale text. This passage contains almost all European funny jokes and fairy tales rewritten by Bilger.

The Adventures of boas Masters is a household name in European countries, especially in German. People like his stories and are even fascinated by them.

1943 according to these stories, some people changed them into movie scripts and put them on the screen, while others rewritten them into scripts and novels.
