What was Ma Wencai like in history?

Ma Wencai, a famous Buddhist poet, was born in 495 AD and died in 529 AD.

He is a scholar in his twilight years. After the Northern Wei Dynasty, Liang was cut down and resolutely joined the army to defend the Liang Dynasty. After that, Chen Qingzhi, a white-robed general, joined the army, and 7,000 men broke Wei Jun's millions and captured Luoyang, the capital of Wei. Ma Wencai advised Chen Qingzhi to stand on his own feet and said to him, "If you don't reward your merits, you will be in danger. Since there are these two things, how can the general be carefree? " Since ancient times, crises have been difficult to help, and few have a good end. Today, the general is a great power in the Central Plains, the river is blocked, and the slaughter is based on Luo, once in a thousand years. "(Biography of Liang Shu and Chen Qingzhi) Qing refuses to accept. Luoyang was recovered in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and when the Qing troops returned to the DPRK, they were drowned by mountain torrents at the age of 34.

In recognition of his outstanding achievements, Liang Wudi posthumously named him Hou of Bo Yang. Qing praised him and said: Wen's position is higher than that of Ban, surpassing it.

The hated Ma Wencai didn't know Liang Shanbo at all in history, and even Liang Zhu was separated for thousands of years. Liang Shanbo was an honest official in the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yingtai, a contemporary of Ma Wencai, went to Ma Taishou's house for several times to steal silver alms, and was later killed by Ma Wencai. This is why the ancients vilified Ma Wencai. Therefore, it can be said that Ma Wencai innocently participated in shaping the tragic love story of Liang Zhu. He is just Liang Zhu's despicable role in setting off Liang Shanbo and breaking up Liang Zhu.

Butterfly lovers did exist in history, including Ma Wencai, whose native place was in the hometown of Confucius and Mencius. Mapo is the hometown of Zhu and Ma, and the two cities are the hometown of Liang, a figure in the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

History of Ma Wencai War

Ma Wencai was a civil servant of Nanliang State in the Southern and Northern Dynasties and a famous Buddhist scholar. There is no detailed record about his origin. He was a member of the "White Robe Team" of the cavalry in the Liang Dynasty. The commander of this unit is Chen Qingzhi, a famous military god in Liang Dynasty. This person is proficient in the art of war, and his command of cavalry can be said to be superb, and probably Wei Qing and Huo Qubing are just so. According to the tradition of China since ancient times, the central government has always been afraid of this kind of team that can fight well, so it usually sends a civilian to monitor it. Probably for this reason, Ma Wencai was assigned to Chen Qingzhi's team. However, as a civilian, Ma Wencai got along very well with Chen Qingzhi when he was a part-time spy in the army, which is really admirable.

The career climax of Ma Wencai's life was in Datong period (527-529 AD), when the government in northern China had internal disputes over the throne. Erzhurong, a senior official, led the troops to occupy Luoyang, killed the young emperor and the empress dowager, and monopolized the power. And one of the royal family, Xiang of Beihai, also despaired of Nanliang. Already in his sixties, he agreed to help Beihai Wang and ordered Chen Qingzhi to escort Beihai Wang back to Luoyang. And the total force he gave Chen Qingzhi was his military forces, that is, the "white team", with a total force of ... 7,000 people.

Xiao Yan probably means to let Ma Wencai perfunctory Yuan Xiang, which is the specialty of civil servants. But what he never expected was that ... Chen Qingzhi had entered Luoyang.

Seven thousand white cavalry defeated seventy thousand Wei Jun in Huaiyang first, and then the whole army went down the river on a raft. After World War I, they conquered Kaocheng, where there were 20,000 troops, and then smashed 174,000 Wei Jun in Yang Rong, beheaded 20,000, and went down to Hulao Pass in three days ... In short, they broke 47 enemy formations and trapped 32 cities in 142 days, and successfully sent Beihai King to Luoyang.

In all these battles, Ma Wencai always fought side by side with Chen Qingzhi, * * * fought side by side with him, and * * * entered Luoyang with him. His mood at that time was probably very difficult for him. He witnessed the pioneering work through the ages and personally participated in it. This kind of thing is beyond the reach of ordinary people. In this process, Ma Wencai has completely fallen to Chen Qingzhi. After all, for the traditional literati in China, nothing is more attractive than going down in history.

After entering Luoyang, Ma Wencai, with his unique political sense of smell as a civil servant, quickly discovered the doubts of the rulers of the Northern and Southern Dynasties about Chen Qingzhi, or guessed this suspicion from history. He quickly persuaded Chen Qingzhi to say, "With 7,000 troops, we captured Luoyang and made unprecedented achievements, but it will also be at stake! Your Majesty and Wei Gong, the North Sea King, are all afraid of General Chen's talent and military training. It is better to abolish Wei Zhu and let General Chen give orders in Luoyang. This is a godsend! "

At that time, Yin Bao Jr., the last royal family of Nanqi, established himself as emperor in Chang 'an and fought against Wei Jun, so he was also considered by Ma Wencai to form an alliance with him.

If Chen Qingzhi had accepted Ma Wencai's opinion at this moment, how would the history of the Northern and Southern Dynasties have changed? However, Chen Qingzhi and George W. Yin Bao made different choices. He smiled and shook his head: "Is your family drunk?" So it's over. Sure enough, as Ma Wencai expected, Yuan Xiang rejected Chen Qingzhi's suggestion for reinforcements as soon as possible, and the southern Liang Dynasty did not have reinforcements because of the slander of jealous people. However, in 1920, Yin Bao Jr. of Chang 'an was quickly pacified by the Northern Wei Dynasty for lack of allies, and finally Chen Qingzhi had to return to the south of the Yangtze River.

General Er Zhurong personally led a great army to pursue, but this pursuit was too funny: chasing far meant not chasing, and chasing near dared not, so the two armies dragged all the way to Yubian, and Chen Qingzhi was ready to lead the army to cross the river, but the sudden flash flood mercilessly washed away his invincible troops, and Ma Wencai, the deputy commander, died.

Ma Wencai in Butterfly Lovers

Ma Wencai, a historical figure who sets off Liang Zhu's love story, always appears as a sinister, obscene, frivolous and disgusting role in operas, movies and TV series. However, Chen Guanlin's role as Ma Wencai in 2007 is quite different from the past, and its image of Ma Wencai is worth mentioning.

Chen Guanlin's version of Ma Wencai is handsome, both civil and military, full of scholar breath, and can be called the most handsome Ma Wencai in history. Chen Guanlin's acting skills are skillful, and Ma Wencai's interpretation is meticulous. When he appeared on the stage, he was shocked by the momentum of drawing a sword to help him. He said, "You are the boss. Do you deserve it?" Immature, slightly mature tone, Ma Wencai's strong personality will be fully displayed. Coupled with the handsome appearance, it really became a highlight of the play, and this version of Ma Wencai undoubtedly made the audience feel refreshed.

In order to make the play innovative in the past plot and give Ma Wencai more new elements, Chen Guanlin said in an entertainment program: "In fact, the role of Ma Wencai in the 07 version is quite difficult to play, and it is also a clear distinction between good and evil. A slight mistake will make the audience feel that there is nothing to see! " So, how to inject the character's soul and make the character live? Presumably, Chen Guanlin has also made a lot of efforts in this regard. There are many crying scenes in Ma Wencai's plays, which are not for the audience who like him.

In the play, Ma Wencai's family background is prominent, and his father's official residence is the satrap. But he was severely educated by his father's club since he was a child. He taught and urged him severely, without any warmth ... The mother tried to protect her son because she couldn't bear to see him beaten again, but she didn't want to accidentally damage her appearance. Sad, sad and desperate, she decided to hang herself. But I never thought that such a move would leave a lingering shadow on Ma Wencai's young mind. Lonely and empty, he has no friends, but he yearns for friendship inside. When he met Zhu Yingtai, he said, "You are the only one in Nishan Academy." Therefore, he is so eager to become bosom friends with Zhu Yingtai. However, due to his strong personality and lack of love psychology, he was proud of everything and finally failed to win the favor of Zhu Yingtai. Just because he doesn't know how to love someone Just because he didn't know how to express his thoughts and feelings, he gradually sank, gave up caring with his heart, and finally hated because of love, vowing to exchange Zhu Yingtai's tears for his lost dignity ... but only his own heart knew that he couldn't do it.

Generally speaking, people who like this version of Ma Wencai are not satisfied. Of course, handsome also adds a lot of color to Ma Wencai. Everyone brought Zhu Yingtai and Ma Wencai to the play together, so we might as well continue to write Liang Zhu's beautiful essays. Visible 07 version of Ma Wencai is worth seeing!
