Abstract: Cheng Lin was an outstanding politician in Song Renzong period. Due to being too strict, he was met with hostility and disgusted from political opponents. His political opponents deliberately manufactured or transplanted various negative rumors. As a result of being spread too widely, these negative rumors gradually became undoubted “fact”’, such as the Feng Shiyuan case and Wu Hou Lin Chao Tu event. The planting and slandering covered and distorted the image of Cheng Lin, so the article is intended to restore a true image of Cheng Lin and make a real politician play its proper role in history.

Key words: Cheng Lin, outstanding politician, Feng Shiyuan case, Wu Hou Lin Chao Tu
