Dongyong's Tomb has been discovered in Hubei. Is there really a fairy match?

Personally, I feel that there must be a fairy couple, but they may both be mortal, the woman may be the child of a rich man, and Yong Dong may be a poor boy. At that time, there must be opposition from his family, and the author may have adapted this story into a drama.

The Fairy Couple is a touching love story. When there were no film and television works, talented people in ancient times made this story into Huangmei Opera. The fairy couple in Huangmei Opera, also known as the seven fairies descending to earth, is one of the famous plays in Huangmei Opera. The story tells that Yong Dong, with his filial piety of burying his father by selling himself, touched the seven fairies in the sky and, regardless of justice, fell from the sky and married Dong Yongzhi. In the play, when the husband and wife are engaged in weaving and farming in order to pay their debts, they are about to start living a good life of their own. The Jade Emperor cruelly destroyed the couple and began a bitter and touching love story.

Whether the fairy couple is true or not has aroused many people's discussion. They supported Yong Dong's theory that Yong Dong was an ancient Western Han Dynasty. Because the Han Dynasty advocated filial piety and "ruling the world by filial piety", the incident of the filial son Dong selling his body to bury his father occurred permanently, which became a typical example highly praised by the rulers. Since then, rulers of all dynasties have regarded the word "filial piety" as a universal moral norm, and the story of Yong Dong has been circulated for a long time.

In Hubei, where we live now, the story of Yong Dong also appeared in Xiaogan County Records, saying that Yong Dong belonged to the late Eastern Han Dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Lingdi of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he moved from Qiancheng to Anlu (now Xiaogan City, Hubei Province) with his father and lived as a servant. After his father died, he borrowed money from the rich man Pei's family for burial and agreed to pay his living expenses as a slave. Xiaogan can still see Yong Dong's tomb.

Nowadays, many people are talking about whether Yong Dong really exists. Although we can't say whether this person really exists, we should learn from Yong Dong's spirit, both his filial piety and his attitude towards his wife are worth learning.
