Dear Experts
When i was reading that book. I was only 7 and wasn't so interested about it. I guess i might wanna read it again. Anyone know if you can order it online.
Thanks

i won't go so far to call it a 'clan', it's simply about 3 generations in yang's family, they all brilliant military commanders and brave warriors, but that's not the real point.

what the story trying to tell, is their loyalty to the emperor, who is a stupid coward.

real history was a bit different. For one, the main antagonist in the story doesn't even exist. The person that betrayed Yang Ye was called Pang Mei (no Pang Ren Mei in history). Next, the story pretty much ends at Yang Ye's death. In real history, the Yang clan woudl remain strong even to Yang Ye's grandson. After Yang Ye died, Yang Yangzhao (6th son) would gaurd the borders for over 20 years. When he died, Yang Wenguang would be the successor and he fought along with Chou Qing.

Thanks for you info.

Thsi is a little off topic but I have a question.

Here's the background. My son that is now in the Navy reserve had a 1/2 Chinese 1/2 Vietnamese friend in high school named Tony. Tony was confined to a wheelchair. My son helped him out in school getting around school and on the bus etc. Tony visited us quite frequently. He loved our family so much he called us the "Black Tiger Clan". Is that name of any historical signifinance?

Thanks..

well thru google search it definitely exists in some fictional wuxia novels (those made-up martial art fighting stuff), but none of them are the well known ones, as far as i know.

other than that, i don't think it exists historically.

Thanks, that's what I have discovered over the years. I was hoping someone had some more insight.Perhaps some unprinted lore....I'm going to San Diego on Friday. If I see Tony..I will ask him.

Thanks again!
