There have been two main reasons for denying Yong Dong: First, Yong Dong's honest and upright officials have no load. We believe that the official history compiled by feudal society is mainly for feudal rulers, especially for the rulers of the highest class, and it is difficult for lower-level bureaucrats such as county magistrates to climb into the threshold of official history. As mentioned earlier, the Wu family in Jiaxiang County has been an official for generations, and there is no official history. In addition, it is not surprising that civilians in Yong Dong have no official history. How can there be more people without official history in history? If we deny their existence on the grounds that there is no official history, it will inevitably be biased.
