Thirteen stick monks save Tang King, is the proudest legend of Shaolin Temple, Jet Li 's "Shaolin Temple" is based on this story, sad story, wonderful martial arts, let this film become a permanent childhood memory, also let Shaolin Temple has become a sacred place of martial arts in the eyes of the people. Many elementary school students have shaved their heads and pestered their parents to go to Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts.
However, when I grew up, I looked through the historical books and couldn't find this story. But found the relevant records of the villain Wang Renze . "Zizhitongjian. One hundred and eighty-seven. Tang Jisan" records: Qi Wuyun said to Wang Shichong : "The Confucian boy and other rebels are still in the country for the emperor, so it is better to get rid of them early." In the end, he dispatched Shizi Tang Wang Renze and his family slave Liang Hundred Years of Poison Emperor Tai.
At that time, the so-called king of Tang was Wang Renze, the nephew of Wang Shichong, who was named the king of Tang by Wang Shichong, while Li Shimin was named the king of Qin by Li Yuan at that time. If it was the thirteen stick monks who saved the Tang king, wouldn't it be Wang Renze who saved him?
This also fully shows that the thirteen stick monks rescued the Tang King was fabricated by the Shaolin Temple. The monks of the Shaolin Temple did not study history, but compiled this story based on their imagination, but did not expect such a mistake.
The historical materials related to "the thirteen stick monks save the Tang king" mainly come from the Shaolin Temple inscription "Tang Taizong bestowed the Shaolin Temple to teach books", but the inscription only says that the Shaolin monks helped Li Shimin at that time, and the thirteen stick monks rescued the Tang king. The story is not detailed. Besides, the original text of "Tang Taizong Gives Shaolin Temple Teaching" no longer exists, Northern Song Dynasty Zhao Mingcheng's " Golden Stone Records ", Qing Dynasty Hong Liangji " Dengfeng County Chronicle " and other historical books have recorded Fan "Tang Taizong Gifts " "Shaolin Temple Teaching Books" contains "Masters and others can deeply understand the changes, know the wonderful reasons early, overcome the Jiatai, return to the blessed land, capture the evil, and the saviour of Kuozi". But the records of later generations are not credible, this is not yet Certainly.
Wang Ren has no sense of existence in history, and only a few words in the official history. After the Battle of Luoyang, there is no record of Wang Renze's whereabouts in the official history, so the burden of Shaolin Temple to use such a character to create a legend is very low, because, It may or may not be, and no one can verify it.
However, among thousands of troops, thirteen monks can capture a general alive. What a high level of martial arts! Nearly the modern novels are exaggerating. At the same time of Shaolin Temple martial arts, it also shows that this is a romance story that fools the public. Listen to it, that is, don't believe it.
