Discussion on real name

In the first biography of sun Po Lu, the name of Hua Xiong is written. According to the records of Guangyun, pan Mei thinks that the Song Dynasty version of the annals of the Three Kingdoms is "Duwei Yexiong", which should be changed according to Guangyun. Zhao Youwen also quotes the records of Tongzhi · clan strategy to support this view, and Hu Sansheng's Zizhi tongjianyinzhu is also recorded as "Duwei Yexiong". Wu Jinhua believes that it was under the influence of novels since the Yuan Dynasty that ye Xiong was mistaken for Hua Xiong after the Southern Song Dynasty. According to Zi Zhi Tong Jian, Volume 60, "Bu and bu do not get each other. They fight hard and smash it. They will take charge of Hua Xiong, the capital." Hu Sansheng noted "Xiao, Gu Yaofan.". In China, it is against the household The same as the present edition of the annals of the Three Kingdoms, Hu Sansheng's phonetic notation of Chinese characters should be correct. It can't prove that "Duwei Ye Xiong" in the biography of Wu Zhi · Sun Jian quoted in Guangyun is Huaxiong. If the word "Ye" is mistakenly used as "Hua", can the word "Wei" be mistakenly used as "Du"? Moreover, Hu's annotation in Zizhi Tongjian Yinzhu (Volume 28) is "Ye, the old yinshe, the later yinmuye". It is said that Wu zhisun has a Duwei, ye Xiong. " It is also inconsistent with Guangyun. Perhaps there was another Duwei Ye Xiong besides Hua Xiong in the annals of the Three Kingdoms before the Song Dynasty.
