The historical archetype of Mei Changsu in the Nirvana in Fire Board was the historical Su Shiyu. Su Shiyu, also known as Shu Yan, was from Nanjing, Fujian Province. He was a famous politician and military general in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. He was born in a humble family, but with his talent and hard work, he gradually got promoted and made great achievements in the political and military fields. In Nirvana in Fire, Mei Changsu was Su Shiyu's grandson. Su Shiyu had once served as the commander of the Brocade Guard of the Ming Dynasty and won many victories in the war. He was deeply appreciated by the emperor. Later on, Mei Changsu left the imperial court for some reason and became a cultivator in the martial world. In the end, he became the deputy pavilion master of Langya Pavilion. It should be noted that although Su Shiyu was the prototype of Mei Changsu in the Nirvana Board, there were many different versions of his true identity and story background in history. Therefore, the specific situation needed to be judged according to the specific historical background.
The real Mei Changsu in history was Mei Yaochen, a famous official and writer of the Northern Song Dynasty (1040 - 1085). Mei Changsu was one of the four Mei brothers. His nickname was Shu Mei, and his posthumous title was Wen Su. People called him Mei Wensu. Mei Changsu was talented and proficient in poetry, prose, calligraphy, painting, and other arts.

The historical prototype of Mei Changsu was the eldest son of the Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi, Mei Lang of Jiangzuo in history. Mei Changsu's name came from a famous line in Bai Juyi's Song of the Pipa: " Asking you how much sorrow you can have is like a river flowing eastward in spring." In the novel, Mei Changsu was a fictional character authorized by the author and had no direct connection with Bai Juyi in history.

Mei Changsu's archetype in history wasn't a completely wily and farsighted person, but a person with complex and complicated thoughts. Mei Changsu's name came from a fictional character in Nirvana in Fire, but some characters in history did have similar characteristics to Mei Changsu. For example, Fan Zhongyan (989 - 1052) in history was a figure with complex thinking. He was not only limited to immediate interests but also considered long-term development. When dealing with government affairs, he adopted a series of forward-looking measures to promote the development of the country.

He and his sons Su Shi and Su Zhe were known as the "Three Father and Son of the Su Family." Mei Changsu and Su Xun both had a deep literary foundation and depth of thought.

The Langya Board was adapted from the novel Wind in Changlin. The reason why Lin Shu became Mei Changsu was because in the novel, Lin Shu was a young man who grew up in Changlin Mansion. His father was the top of the Langya Board, and his mother was Mei Changsu's mother. Mei Changsu was Lin Shu's adopted brother. Because Mei Changsu showed outstanding talent and strategy when he peed, he was called "Su Shiheng" while Lin Shu was called "Red Flame God of War". Therefore, there was a special relationship between the two. In the novel, Lin Shu performed well in the war and was appointed as a general by the emperor. However, in the end, in order to protect the Changlin family and the people in the political struggle, he chose to commit suicide. Mei Changsu returned to the court after Lin Shu's death through various means and became the emperor's trusted person.
