research results

He has long been engaged in the study of China's classical novels, operas and China's ancient culture. Pay equal attention to academic research and social investigation, and use interdisciplinary research methods such as literature, history, ethnology and folklore. In China's classical novels, ancient cultural studies and other fields, new discoveries and breakthroughs have been made in many aspects.

Through the investigation and discovery of Luo's genealogy in Qingxu, Taiyuan, it is proved that Luo Guanzhong, the author of Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Water Margin, was a native of Qingxu, Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, originally named Luo Caiben, and later named Robben, and lived in seclusion in Xujiagou Village (now Hebi City, Henan Province) in his later years. It proves that Yue Fei, a national hero, is a part of the prototype of Song Jiang, a character in Water Margin. The prototype of "Shui Bo Liangshan" is located in Yicheng Village, Yangcheng County, Shanxi Province, Taihang Mountain Area. Many relics, such as Nu Wa's "mending the roof", "mending the cave", "Nu Wa's imperial tomb" and "Nu Wa's rock paintings", have been found in southeastern Shanxi and southern Shanxi, which proves that Nu Wa is a true myth and historical figure. In Mengmen Town, Liulin County, Shanxi Province, the site of Dayu's water control was investigated, and the monograph "The First Pass of the Yellow River in Mengmen World" was compiled, which confirmed that Dayu had controlled water in Mengmen, Liulin. He has published a large number of papers with breakthrough significance and practical application value in domestic and foreign newspapers, such as Literary Heritage, People's Daily Overseas Edition, Guangming Daily, Wen Hui Daily, Social Science News, Taiwan Province Central Daily and Historical Monthly.

The mystery of the Monkey King's life experience

After more than ten years' investigation, Shanxi scholars Meng Fanren and Li Guocheng found that the artistic image of the Monkey King in The Journey to the West, like Tang Priest, was shaped by the evolution of real people and life prototypes that really existed in real life. The prototype of this life is loufan county. They found in the Miscellaneous Notes of Jingle County Annals (Volume X) compiled by Huangtuchang in the thirty-ninth year of Qing Emperor Kangxi that "Huaguoshan" was in loufan county, and "Sun Walker" was a loufan: "Huaguoshan" was named after the mountain full of flowers and fruits in spring and summer. Or attach' water curtain cave', which means' Monkey Walker, Loufan'. " In addition, Liu Kezhuang, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, once wrote a poem "Learning from the scriptures bothers the traveler". According to textual research, among the place names above the county level in Tang and Song Dynasties and even in China, there is no second place except Loufan.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that Loufan has always been a "pasture" for raising military horses for the royal family during the Tang and Song Dynasties. The largest number of motors in the Tang Dynasty was "700,000, and the colors were different, looking like clouds". In history, it is also known as "Loufan steeds all over the world". In the The Journey to the West, the Monkey King made a scene in the Heavenly Palace, and the Jade Emperor was forced to make him "Lord Horse" and "Bi" to take charge of the horse breeding. If we return to the real world, I'm afraid the only place in China's history where we can have a "Royal Horse Prison" is Loufan.
