As for the surname Jiguan, "Confucius' Family Sayings: Explanation of Original Surnames" says that Confucius was nineteen years old and married to the Jiguan surname of the Song Dynasty. "The Biography of the Sages of Lu" says: Confucius's wife had an official surname. "Yuanhe Surname Compilation" also has the Jiguan surname. "Xunyuan of Surnames" says: It is not the same as the hairpin, but after the official hairpin. The hairpin is a hairpin, used to hold up the hair or the crown. "Etiquette·Shihunli" says: "When a woman is married, her hairpin is sweetened, and she is named." This refers to "hairpin". "Etiquette·Shiguanli" says: "Pi Bianji, Jue Bianji." This refers to Bianji, the hairpin used by male nobles. In the ritual system of the Zhou Dynasty, there was the official position of the hairpin in charge of the "hairpin", which was also hereditary. The descendants of the officials were given the surname "Jiguan". Scholars have studied that the meaning of the word "丄" is similar to the word "hairpin". In ancient times, inserting hairpins was a kind of etiquette. The so-called "girls wearing hairpins at the age of fifteen" could not be used casually. Therefore, from the pre-Qin period to the princes of various countries, there were chiefs. The hairpin official is dedicated to the men and women of the Dong Ligong clan and the hairpin ceremony. The Jiguan family were the descendants of the hairpin official at that time.
As the wife of Confucius’ Ming matchmaker, Jiguan’s image in historical materials is just a name. According to the historical record "Confucius' Family Language: An Explanation of Original Surnames", Confucius "married the Jiguan family of the Song Dynasty at the age of nineteen." In 533 BC, the 19-year-old Confucius married the Jiguan family and gave birth to his son Kong Li a year later. By 485 BC, Jiguan passed away. Confucius never described Ji Guan's person, appearance, or life during these 48 years. The official concept art of the movie "Confucius" depicts Ji Guan holding a letter in his hand. He is gentle and quiet. He is the image of a virtuous housekeeper with both talent and virtue in people's minds. Sure enough, in the trailer released at the Cannes Film Festival, Confucius and his wife also appeared in a harmonious scene, respectful to each other. However, according to historical records, the couple did not live together until old age. In the "Book of Rites", when Zisi, the disciple and Kong Li's son, mentioned the late Mrs. Kong, she used the title "Chu Mu", that is, her divorced mother. . It can be seen that Ji Guan was no longer Confucius' wife when she died. However, the reason why Confucius divorced his wife is not mentioned in the historical data, which has become a big mystery about Confucius. Zhang Kaili, who plays Ji Guanshi, may not be familiar to many young viewers, but more than 20 years ago, her starring role in "Desire" became a sensation across the country. She was once called a model of a good wife and mother of that era, but now she is called Mrs. Kong. I wonder whether the director values ??her "virtue" or "forbearance".
