A Brief Introduction of Poet Song Jiang

Song Jiang is one of the main characters in China's classic novel Water Margin. The leader of Liangshan 100 single eight generals is called "filial piety, black saburo", "timely rain" and "Hu". Originally, it was a brief introduction to Sung River in Yuncheng County. Later he joined Liangshan. After the death of Chao Gai, King Tota, he became the leader of Liangshan. He strongly advocated accepting the court's favor, and led the Liangshan brothers to attack the Liao country and the rebels such as tian hu, Wang Qing and Fang La. Shortly after returning home, he was killed by treacherous court official Gao Qiu and others with poisoned wine. Song Jiang did exist in history. He was the leader of the peasant uprising army in Xuanhe period of the Northern Song Dynasty, and later surrendered to the Song Dynasty.

Introduce Song Jiang, the word Gong, nicknamed "Timely Rain", nicknamed "Hu" and "Xiaoyi Heisaburo". Because of the event that Classical's men were selling dates in Huangnigang to grab the birthday outline, Sung River informed Classical of the news of loyalist He Tao's pursuit. Classical sent Liu Tang to deliver a letter and rewarded him with one hundred and twenty gold. Unexpectedly, this letter fell into the hands of his concubine Yan Poxi. Song Jiang wants to believe it or not. In desperation, he killed Yan Poxi angrily. He fled in Chaijinzhuang, Kongjiazhuang and Qingfeng Village for a year, and his father Song Taigong asked him to surrender to the court. Later, he was sent to Jiangzhou and met with Li Kui jy. However, he was sentenced to death for writing in Xunyang Building. Fortunately, Liangshan saved Sung River from the mountain in the execution ground and took the second place.

Later, when attacking Zengtou City, Classical was poisoned by an arrow and died, so he took the top spot. Since then, the theme of Liangshan has changed from Juyitang to Loyalty Hall, and the number of leaders has increased to 100. Tong Guan won two games, Gao Qiu lost three games, and Gao Qiu was captured alive, and Liangshan's career has reached its peak. In the future, Song Jiang led the crowd to accept the favor of the imperial court, and won a great victory over Liao in the north, forcing Liao to surrender voluntarily, and then marched eastward to Wang Qing and Wang Qing, all of whom won the victory and made great contributions. After the conquest of Fang La, Liangshan suffered heavy casualties, leaving only 27 people back to the DPRK. After being knighted, Sung River was poisoned by treacherous court official Gao Qiu. Knowing that he was poisoned, he tricked Li Kui jy into drinking the poisoned wine, because he knew that after his death, Li Kui jy would rebel, which would ruin his loyalty. After their death, Song Jiang gave Wu Yong and Hua Rongdao a dream. The next day, Wu Yong went to the place where Song Jiang gave him a dream, looked at their graves, and prepared to hang them on the tree next to Song Jiang's grave. At this time, Huarong Road flew from the boat to Sung River's grave, and everyone was surprised. Later, both of them hanged themselves in a tree.

Nickname meaning

Hu is Song Jiang's nickname "Hu". The word Hu, until today, is unclear to everyone. There is an explanation that Baoyi was a military attache in the Southern Song Dynasty, named Bao Ichiro. "。 " "Baoyi" was originally the title of the lowest military attache in the Song Dynasty, and gradually became a self-deprecating word available to everyone. "Hu" is a verb-object structure, and Song Jiang uses "self-Hu" to express modesty, meaning that he is the lowest class.

Another explanation, saying "guarantee", is guarantee; "Righteousness" means loyalty, and "protecting righteousness" means keeping loyalty and calling, which is what everyone calls him. Generally speaking, the word Hu actually refers to Song Jiang's attitude towards the country, the court and the emperor.

The second is filial piety, which is about how he treats his parents and pays attention to filial piety. His filial piety runs through his thoughts, becomes a part of his thoughts, and is a very important support point of his thoughts. The third is timely rain, which is about his charity and helping the poor, which can be seen in his later contacts with his brothers. The fourth is Hu.
