Mingfen ji鸣凤记(The Story of Mingfeng)is a play about the campaign against Yan Song, the most corrupted and powerful official in Jiajing’s Reign of the Ming Dynasty. Though the play was regarded to tell a real story, some accounts are against the true facts. Among the heroes(known as “Two Loyalists and Eight Righteous Men”)in the campaign acclaimed by the play, some cannot be accepted as faithful and righteous and others are not representative. That is to say, the deeds of some others who played a crucial role in fighting against Yan Song are missing in the play. In terms of the plot and some other details, the play is also fictitious.
