Are Gao Qiu and the historical figure Gao Qiu the same person in Water Margin?

The Water Margin is a well-known book in China, which has been remake into many movies. The villain Gao Qiu is not the same person as the historical figures. Gao Qiu in real history is not as bad as in the novel, but he is also a bad person.

When it comes to Water Margin, many people will think of Lin Chong, the first hero, and then they will think of Gao Qiu, who has repeatedly harmed him, which makes many people hate Gao Qiu. Gao Qiu is also known as a traitor. Lin Chong, who was framed by him, is diabolical and ingenious in calculation, which makes people dumbfounded! Many characters in the novel have prototypes in history. Gao Qiu in Water Margin does exist in history, but they are far apart and should not be the same person. It is worth mentioning that, in terms of the extent of doing bad things, Gao Qiu in history is still dwarfed by the people in the Water Margin, and it is really not a top traitor.

In some history, some deeds of this Gao Qiu were recorded. He used to be Su Shi's extremely bookish. He is clever and good at copying and writing. He not only writes well, but also writes poems and songs. He is also a good marksman and a skilled cuju player. So Su Shi recommended Gao Qiu to his friend, Xiao Taiwei.

And this Wang Shen is Zongshen's brother-in-law, that is, Duan Wang Zhao Ji's uncle, so Gao Qiu reached the peak. Wang Shen is a "master of calligraphy and painting" and has a close relationship with Duan Wang. They often study calligraphy and painting together. Gao Qiu often has the opportunity to meet Evonne, one to two, show his superb skills in front of Evonne, and become close friends with Evonne. Later, as we all know, Zhao Ji became Hui Zong, and he was determined to promote and reuse Gao Qiu. Gao Qiu thus accumulated the capital for promotion, and finally became the commander of Gong Wei, who was in charge of the imperial army for more than 20 years.

During this period of Gao Qiu's reign, he did not make any achievements, nor did he frame our leopard head Lin Chong, nor did he participate in some major decisions. They are far apart from each other.
