 note = {Meihi-kyoku is a short story written by the Japanese novelist Yasushi Inoue and first published in the All Yomimono magazine, in February 1963 . It tells the story of Ryūei Tatsuoka, a man full of admiration for the Huns, the ancient nomadic people of the Western Regions of China. In it, he shows 'Watashi', the narrator and main protagonist in the novel, a new historical document about Ōshōkun （王昭君）. Ōshōkun was one of the women in the palace of the Han Dynasty in China, who married a king of the Huns after leaving the Han Dynasty. Chinese poems and novels have described Ōshōkun as a tragic heroine because she was forced by the Han Dynasty Emperor to marry a man of 'barbarian' origin. In "People invited to the Western Regions",an essay written in 1963 , Inoue stated that the most famous tragedy related to the Western Regions of China was the legend of Ōshōkun and clearly shows how he also considered Ōshōkun’s legend to be a tragedy. However, in his novel, Meihi-kyoku, Inoue depicted Ōshōkun differently and described Ōshōkun as a woman who loves a young Hun man, while hating the Han Dynasty Emperor. Why did Inoue create a different image of Ōshōkun in his novel? Key to helping solve this problem could emerge in Tatsuoka. He is a man who is relatively weak physically, which is why he respects the enormous energy of the Huns so much. At the end of the novel, Tatsuoka dies in a battle in China, during World War II in a scene which reflects Inoue's own experience as a soldier in China in 1938 . In this article, I will point out which parts of the novel were created by Inoue, comparing the description of Ōshōkun in his novel with her description in historical Chinese books and plays. I will also analyze why Inoue created a different image of Ōshōkun admiring the Huns. Finally, I will also explain the connection between Tatsuoka's death and Inoue's experience in China.},
