Song Marshal Zongze, who is seriously ill, puts his seal in Yue Fei's charge and spits out his blood and dies. When Du Chong is ordered to take over the seal, Yue Fei is so depressed that he goes home to visit his mother. Yue's mother urged him to return to the camp to fight against the enemy, and tattooed on Yue Fei's back the words "loyalty to the country", so that he will always serve the country as the will to serve the motherland for life.

Introduction

The story of Yue Fei's heroism has been widely circulated among the people, and the story of Yue's mother's stabbing is also extremely popular.

But the story of Yue's mother-in-law's stabbing of words has no basis in history. Song people's notes and wild history are not recorded, including Yue Fei's great-grandson Yue Ke's "Jintao Gezhi" also did not record. Yue's mother stabbed the word was first seen in the Yuan compiled by the "Song history of this biography". Book cloud: "the first order He cast bow, fly cracked dress, to show the back cast, there is 'loyal to the country' four words, in-depth skin". But the book does not indicate that this four words from the hands of the mother-in-law.

By the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the story of Yue Fei began to be widely circulated. The Chenghua years of the creation of the book "Jingzhong Ji", also only mentioned Yue Fei spine "red heart to save the country" characters. In the thirty-first year of Jiajing (1552) Xiong Daben's "Wumu Jingzhong biography" recorded that Yue Fei saw Tangyin hometown people forced by life, gather tsunami mountains, for self-excitement and encouragement of others, was to go to the money to ask the craftsmen to y pierced in the back of the "Jingzhong to repay the country" four words. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, by Li Mei grass-created, Feng Menglong reorganization of the "Legend of the flag of Jingzhong", within the said: "history that fly back 'Jingzhong to repay the country' four big words, is the fly order Zhang Xian stabbed". If so, "loyalty to the country" is Yue Fei became a general, ordered the general Zhang Xian stabbed.

"Mother Yue stabbed words", first seen in the Qing dynasty during the Qianlong period, Hangzhou, Qian Cai commented on "Jingzhong said Yue", the book's 22nd, back to the title of "the righteous alliance Wang Zuo pseudonym, stabbed Jingzhong Yue mother training son". The content is, Yue Fei is not Yang's emissary Wang Zuo's employment, his mother is afraid of the future, there are still ungrateful people to seduce Yue Fei, if a moment of inattention to be confused, to do something disloyal, the reputation will be ruined. So she prayed to the gods and ancestors, and tattooed the four words of "Be loyal to the country" on Yue Fei's back. The book describes the mother Yue pricked the words, first in the fly spine, written with a brush, and then pricked with an embroidery needle, and then coated with vinegar ink, so that the color will never fade. The description is specific and detailed. However, some scholars believe that tattooing is a stunt, there are strict operating procedures and skills, not the average person. Yue mother is a housewife, impossible to have this skill, obviously the author in accordance with the Yuan, Ming some biographies have Yue Fei back tattoo narrative, to imagine play, artistic processing construction. Therefore, Yue Fei spine has stabbed words? What word stabbed? Who is the hand of the prick? Is still a difficult mystery.
