It is generally believed that the legendary hero came from the Eastern Jin Dynasty. However, there is no definite evidence to determine when this legendary story was first formed. According to the later relevant written materials, it can be roughly inferred from the Eastern Jin Dynasty to the Southern and Northern Dynasties. There is such a poem in the folk song Huashan Ji in the Southern Dynasties: "Huashan Ji, since you are dead, who is the only son?" If you like pity, you will open it. " Its ending is the same as the legend of Liang Zhu later. However, The Record of Ancient and Modern Music compiled by the wise craftsmen of the Southern Dynasties recorded another love story: The Story of Huashan, which made him angry and changed his mind. When he was a young emperor, Nan Xu went to Yunyang from Huashan. Seeing an 18-year-old woman in the guest house, I was inexplicably happy and felt that I had a heart attack. Mother asked her why, which was a revelation to her. My mother went to Huashan and saw the reason why women have a sense of smell. Take your knees off and let your mother lie under her mat. Less days and less fruit. Suddenly, he lifted his seat, saw his knees covered and hugged him, so he swallowed it and died. She said angrily to her mother,' When she was buried, she was in the car, from Huashan.' Mom does what she wants. Compared with the previous female door, the cow refused to fight. The woman said, "Wait a minute." Makeup bath, all out. The song says:' Hua Shanji, since you are dead, you will live alone for whom. If you are happy, open the coffin for Nong.' When the coffin was opened, the woman jumped into the coffin and her family knocked. Nothing, just a reckless man, calling it the tomb of the goddess.

There are many similarities between the recorded plot and Liang Zhu's legend, but there is no key plot of disguised as a man going out to study. Even if Huashan Lun Jian is not a legend of Liang Zhu, its plot is closely related to the legend of Liang Zhu, that is, the story of Liang Zhu legend should be influenced by the former.

The earliest written record can be found in Liang Zaiyan's Ten Roads and Four Fan Records in the early Tang Dynasty, which is very brief and quoted from Max Zhang's Siming Tujing in the Song Dynasty: "Yi Fu's tomb is also a place to be buried with him. There is a temple behind the reception yard in the west of the county seat. According to the old records, they have less experience in interacting with classmates, that is, three years, but Liang Shanbo didn't know that Yingtai was a woman at first. That's how simple it is.
