Is there a prototype of the legend of Mi Yue, Huang Xie and Mi Yue in history?

"Childhood love" should be "love between the old and the young"

The prototype of the play is the queen of Qin, and there will be emotional entanglements with three men in the play. One is Huang Xie, king of Chu, and the other is Wang Ying, king of Qin Huiwen. Although there is no record of Xunbazi's early experience in history books, in other words, his early emotional experience is unknown, some historians have pointed out that according to calculations, the age difference between Xun Yue and Huang Xie in history is very big, so the first love line of their childhood friends in the play is actually a bit ridiculous. "In 306 BC, Xunbazi became the queen mother, about thirty years old; Shen Jun Huang Xie was born in 3 14 BC, about 20 years younger than Mi Yue. " In other words, Mi Yue became the Queen Mother, while Huang Xie was less than 10 years old.

In this regard, director Zheng Xiaolong recently responded that The Legend of Mi Yue itself is a historical legendary drama, and its keynote is based on the principle of "big things are not empty, small things are not limited". "About Huang Xie's design for Mi Yue's childhood friends, there must be this character in history. After careful consideration, I think Huang Xie is the most suitable. He is a native of Chu, where he served as a class supervisor for the prince, and they can have this kind of contact opportunity. At that time, Qin Shihuang burned books to bury Confucianism, which led to the fact that the dates of birth and death of some characters recorded in history books could not be found. Some people have records when they die when they become big shots, but they don't (write) when they are born. They can only infer from events. "
