First of all, there is no such person as Wei Xiaobao in history.
Talking about Wei Xiaobao, our minds will always come up in the brothel noisy, in front of the Imperial Court, in front of the woman smooth talk of the eight-faced, long-sleeved image, Mr. Jin Yong portrayal of Wei Xiaobao's image can be regarded as the wood, as the last of the work of Jin Yong, the work of the pen, naturally, is pouring countless blood, the Luding Ji in the Things in the official history is indeed traceable, but not Wei Xiaobao do, such as killing Aobai, history is the Kangxi Emperor and Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang *** with the capture, Kangxi is not like the Deer Dingji so idle, on the contrary, in the reign of Kangxi in 61 years to do a lot of things that can be called great achievements, such as the recovery of Taiwan and so on.
Jin Yong said in "Wei Xiaobao, the Little Guy" that when I wrote "The Book of the Deer and the Tripod", I didn't think of any of this at all. Even what kind of character Wei Xiaobao was was not finalized, he grew up slowly. It can also be seen that there is no such person as Wei Xiaobao in history.
Jin Yong has also made it clear that the character of Wei-Shou-Bou was mainly inspired by an overseas Chinese, called Wei-Bao-Shan, who served the Qing court and then joined an anti-Qing organization, and speculated in many ways without missing a beat, which is similar to Wei-Shou-Bou's general experience in the book, and it is this person that Mr. Jin Yong used as inspiration, and then played with his own imagination, to create the great work of The Book of the Deer and the Tripod.
In a conversation between Yang Lan and Jin Yong, Mr. Jin said that he was inspired by Mr. Lu Xun when he wrote the character of Wei-Shou-Bao. Lu Xun's "The True Story of Ah Q" was a typical example of the Chinese at that time, which was about his spiritual triumph on the one hand, and the ignorance, blindness, and muddleheadedness of the Chinese on the other hand, and the fact that the Chinese were being oppressed and finally killed and died, which was very pitiful. The two of them are two very different kinds of people, yet both are typical of Chinese people, two extremes. So writing Wei Xiaobao is also denying that feudal and corrupt society.
