Introduction: Di Qing was the first handsome boy in the Northern Song Dynasty.

How handsome is he? Handsome to the battlefield did not dare to treat people with their true colors, for fear that the enemy would see that Di Qing was too beautiful, and laughed at Song Jun's absence, and sent a cream niche to battle. In the four years before and after Yanzhou, Di Qing participated in 25 battles and attacked in the middle reaches for 8 times. Every fight is led by Di Qing. After the injury, he still stubbornly killed the enemy and made great achievements.

Later novelists said that Di Qing's mask was cruel and horrible. When the enemy first saw it, they often thought it was a monster. Before they fought, their souls were scared by three points, so Di Qing won every battle.

More than 400 years ago, there was a warrior named Lan Ling, who was also talented and handsome, and often wore a mask to defend against the enemy. But the warrior Lan Ling is not the warrior Lan Ling, but the grandson of Gao Huan, the powerful minister of the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the founding emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Private Lan Ling is his title.

After the great victory, in order to celebrate the victory, the warriors compiled the composition of the warrior Lan Ling for the warrior Lan Ling, all dressed like the warrior Lan Ling, singing and dancing. Later, it evolved into a qupai, which was often used by Song people to write lyrics and sing popular songs at that time.

It is said that a magical masked general will triumph in Beijing from the front. There are many legends about women in Beijing, and they are eager to see heroes. Back in Beijing, every time Di Qing took to the streets, he attracted a large number of people to watch, causing traffic jams, and his style was no less than that of today's super idols and pop stars. Gradually, someone recognized the handsome general.

There are many discussions in Beijing. It turned out that General Di Erlang was a cavalry member of the Royal Guard of Honor in his early years. At that time, because he was particularly handsome and rode very well, he was elected as the cavalry guard by the emperor. Later, when I heard something was wrong, I went to the front to fight. I didn't. Do not expect to play well. It's said that General De didn't fail the Jinshi exam, but he seems to be more promising than the top scholar.

General Di Jiro's handsome mask captured not only Chun Qing, a young woman in Beijing, but also a lady princess in the palace. This legend continues to the next generation of General Di.

Many years later, when he was in Song Zhezong, the emperor chose a husband for the great god princess royal, but no one in the civil service circle was satisfied.

The matchmaker lost his mind for a moment and had to ask the emperor what the princess wanted. The wife looks like. The emperor told them that she wanted to look like Di Yong. This Di Yong is the son of Di Qing, an old handsome boy, who works as a bodyguard in the imperial court. From then on, this handsome boy named Di Yong was called a man's appearance, and according to the Song Dynasty, he was a standard handsome boy.
