Sania wuyi 三伙五義 （later revisedand called Qisin wunyi 七伙五義）is a semi-historical narrative of adventure, crime-detection, and courtroom drama. It revolves around the famed Song dynasty magistrate, Bao Zheng 12f8 (999-1072), who is more commonly known as Magistrate Bao (Bao Gong @4) and is the quintessential incorruptible government official. This novel, derived from the oral narrative attributed to the Qing storyteller Shi Yukun fiELL (fl. 1870s), was first published in 1879, after undergoing a complex and fascinating textual evolution. The non-historical component of narrative, which represents the creative genius of the storyteller and his tradition, revolves around a group of compelling heroes and gallants— foremost among them are Zhan Zhao EMi, Hero Par Excellence, Jiang Ping #-F, Diplomat Supreme and Unparalleled Underwater Genius, Ai Hu X/t, Youngest of the Tried and True, and the beloved Bai Yutang ÁE, Gallant of Incomparable Elegance and Passion.
