Character source

The author probably referred to the image of Fang La when he created the classical image, because there are obvious traces of reference and being used for reference in both aspects. First of all, the word "Tuan" in the classical style is different from the word "collapse" in the village where Fang La was born (the sound "Kan" refers to the dam in the rural areas of Anhui and Zhejiang), but it sounds very similar, and it is probably a reference.

Secondly, although the personal belief system of Chao Gai is not clear, he is quite convinced of the good omen of different dreams, and his dream of "seven stars entering the government" is consistent with the imperial information left by Fang La.

Biography of the History of the Song Dynasty also records: "At the beginning of Tang Yonghui, Chen Shuozhen, a woman, rebelled and claimed to be the Emperor of the Literati, so it is said that her land has the Tianzi Collection and the Wannian Building, and Ira relies on her books to be confident." Moreover, both of them were armed against feudal rule, but Fang La's resistance was greater and more influential.
