Is Zhong Wuyan a real person?

Zhong Wuyan was actually an ugly girl of Qi in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Warring States Period. "Wuyan" should be the transliteration of "Wuyan" that people called at that time. Her real name is "Zhong Lichun".

It is said that she is over forty years old and unmarried. She is extremely ugly, but she is brilliant and knowledgeable. Qi Xuanwang of the State of Qi wanted to marry. After she introduced herself, she was given a cold shoulder at first, but Qi Xuanwang saw that her suggestions were insightful, and then she came to her senses and treated her with courtesy. She also tried her best to assist Qi Xuanwang, making Qi's national strength great and becoming a "country with thousands of chariots" (that is, there were thousands of chariots, which was an impressive achievement for the era when horse-drawn chariots were the main fighting equipment).

her specific deeds were not done out of thin air. It can be seen that the ancient book "Biography of a Heroic Woman: Qi Zhong Lichun". There is also volume 7 of Continued Archaeological Records of Shandong.
