Introduction of a single character in Water Margin (the more words, the better)

Song Jiang is the first person in the whole water margin. As a literary image, he is also the most plump, three-dimensional, complex and artistic charm.

In Water Margin, Song Jiangyuan was a small official in Yuncheng County, Shandong Province, with clear words and posthumous title Hu. Dark face, short stature, always brave, spendthrift, easy to make friends, and famous for timely rain. Because of the incident of Huangnigang robbing the birth program, Song Jiang informed Classical of the news of loyalist hunting. Classical and others sent Liu Tang to send letters (invitation bags) and five hundred taels of gold as a reward. Unexpectedly, this letter fell into the hands of his concubine Yan Poxi. Helpless, Song Jiang was annoyed with Yan Poxi and sent him to Jiangzhou to meet Li Kui jy. But he was sentenced to death for writing an anti-poem in Xunyang Building. Thanks to the rescue of Liangshan heroes, Song Jiang was rescued in Liangshan in the execution ground and served as the lieutenant. Later, when attacking Zengtou City, Classical was killed by a poisoned arrow in his eye, so he took the top spot. In the future, Song Jiang led the crowd to woo the court. In the process of previous crusades against other insurgents, Liangshan heroes suffered heavy casualties, and Song Jiang himself was poisoned by royal wine.

Song Jiang ranked first among the top 100 generals and ranked first among the top 36 stars in the highest day.

Song Jiang in history

Unlike some fictional characters in the Water Margin, there are real people in history. There are some sporadic records about Song Jiang in many historical books and literati notes. According to the records of the Song Dynasty, Song Huizong declared peace for three years (1 122). "Huainan stole Song Jiang and others from Huai Yang Army, sent people to beg for arrest, committed (now Shandong) Jiangbei, entered the border between Chu and Haizhou, and ordered Zhang Shuye to surrender." An official named Hou Meng was also mentioned in "East Capital Strategy". He once wrote to the emperor to suggest that "JD.COM at Songjiangkou, covered with a letter, said that Song Jiang ran through Qi Wei with 36 people, and tens of thousands of loyal subjects did not dare to resist. If you don't forgive Jiang, Fang La will be redeemed, or it will be enough to quell the southeast chaos. "

There was indeed the Sung River Uprising in history, and it was clearly recorded in the history of the Song Dynasty. According to the History of Song Dynasty, the time of Sung River Uprising was from the first year of Xuanhe to the third year of Xuanhe. The uprising mainly involved Taihang Mountain area, Shandong Province and northern Jiangsu, and "crossing the river and turning to ten counties". The leader of the uprising was Song Jiang. Uprising has the nature of hooliganism and does not necessarily have a fixed base. The end of the uprising was to surrender after a serious setback. Although the scale of the uprising is not too large, its fighting capacity is particularly strong. "Tens of thousands of loyal ministers dare not confront them." The influence of the uprising is not small. Liang Shanbo, the center of the uprising, is only about 100 km away from the capital Tokyo, which seriously threatens the security of the capital. The areas involved in the uprising were relatively developed in the Northern Song Dynasty. Shuihu was a lake in the middle reaches of Guangji River during the reign of Xuanhe, and the upper reaches of Guangji River flowed out of Bianliang City, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty. Guangji River is also an important waterway of JD.COM, occupying the water margin in the middle reaches of Guangji River, and the political, economic and military prestige of the Northern Song Dynasty imperial court can be imagined. The story of Sung River Uprising can be recorded in the history of Song Dynasty and widely circulated among the people, which shows its influence.

The Characters in Water Margin

Song Jiang, people call it "timely rain". Previously, I worked as an escort in Yuncheng County, Shandong Province. He is a small official who dances and writes documents all day. Seven heroes, including Chao Gai, outsmarted the incident and were arrested by the government. Fortunately, Sung River informed them in advance. Classical sent Liu Tang to send gold and letters to Song Jiang. Yan Poxi, Song Jiang's wife, found that Song Jiang had an affair with Liangshan and threatened him. Sung River angered Yan Poxi and fled to Cangzhou. Forced to go to Liangshan. After sung river became the leader of water margin. After being established, he was named Doctor Wude by Song Huizong, the ambassador of Chuzhou and the general manager of military forces, and was finally poisoned by Gao Qiu with poisoned wine.

Song Jiang in history is just a neglected role. Without Song Jiang, I don't know what the book Water Margin would look like. Because of Song Jiang's generosity, many people like him, because he advocates wooing, and many people hate him. So how did you come to see Song Jiang? By rereading the Water Margin, I want to interpret the character Song Jiang through the description of Song Jiang in the book.

Song Jiang's first impression

This is Song Jiang's first appearance to inform Classical and others. Just came out to introduce Song Jiang: "This man's surname is Song, his name is Jiang, and his appearance is male, ranking third. People from Songjia Village, Yuncheng County. Because of his dark face and short stature, everyone called him Black Sung River. He is also famous for his filial piety. He is generous to those in need. Everyone calls him filial to Kursaburo. Father in the hall, mother died young; There is a brother named Song Qing, who is a die-hard fan and works in the village with his father Song Taigong. Living in the country. This Song Jiang is a pawn in Yuncheng County. He is proficient in knives and pens, and he is proficient in collectors. I also like to learn guns and sticks, and I have learned many kinds of martial arts. I will meet heroes in Jianghu all my life. However, if someone comes to see him, no matter whether he is high or low, he will never get tired of staying in Shizhuang Pavilion Valley. If you want to get up, try your best to help. The ending is like spending money! People ask him for money and things, and they don't shirk it; And it is easy to do, and it is often difficult to solve disputes, but it is only considerate of people's lives. Coffin bait is often scattered to help the poor. It's hard to help people when they are anxious. So Shandong and Hebei are famous. They all call him timely rain, but compare him to timely rain in the sky, which can save everything. "

This kind of introduction is unique in the Water Margin. Every hero in the Water Margin basically has only one nickname. But Song Jiang is different. Song Jiang is the most famous one in Water Margin. Song Jiang has four nicknames. As soon as he appeared, he introduced three nicknames of Song Jiang. These three nicknames actually introduce three personality characteristics of Song Jiang. One is black sung river, because he is black and short, which is from the body. He is not as tall and straight as Lin Chong and Guan Sheng, nor as gentle and handsome as Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng. 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 generosity in helping the poor. This can be seen from his later contact with his brothers, and he did a good job in this respect. In fact, these three nicknames mainly introduce Song Jiang's usual personality and preferences, which are all manifestations outside his normal work, such as "loving guns and sticks", "spending money like water", "solving problems" and "helping others" and so on. Most of these benefits have some Jianghu feelings. In the folk, Song Jiang is an enthusiastic person who likes to do good deeds, both in family ethics and social relations.

It is actually his job to publish classic works privately. After cheating the birth procedure, the matter was exposed. After exposure, firstly, Song Jiang knew that Song Jiang had a psychological description when he saw the official document to prevent Liangshan classical thieves: "Classical and others don't want to do such a big thing! Robbed the birth class, killed the public, and hurt He Tao's observation; Many government troops were also damaged, and Huang An was captured alive up the mountain: this kind of crime is to destroy the nine clans! Although forced by others, things have to be done, but in terms of statutes, they are not immune. What if there is negligence? " This kind of psychological activity conveys two messages: first, Song Jiang, as a court official who knows the law, knows that a series of events committed by Chao Gai are to eliminate the crimes of the nine families. Although what happened before is inevitable, it is impossible to turn back now; Second, Song Jiang was worried about Classical and others, fearing that they had made negligence and mistakes, and he was vaguely worried. This is a pair of contradictions. Theoretically, Chao Gai and others are not allowed to break the law, but emotionally, they are not expected to make mistakes. This is the true psychology of Song Jiang, and it is also the external expression of Song Jiang's complex personality.

So for this matter, according to common sense, he can have several choices, one is to report to the above. It is said that Chao Gai stole the birthday program, and now he is exposed to arrest him. This will give him a chance to make meritorious service, but it will also damage his reputation in the Jianghu and among the people. The second option is that he can let go, not report to the top and take no other action. This kind of gentle treatment can be justified for both the government and the classical government. He didn't tell the court because of loyalty, and he didn't tell Classical because of official business. The third option is to tip off the classic, but it will take a huge risk. He clearly knew that Classical had committed a heinous crime after stealing the birth outline, because Classical was his confidant brother, and although it was impossible to forgive him in terms of statutes, he still wanted to let Classical go. Sung river at this time, but also just know the law. It may be easy for others to do this, but it is difficult for Song Jiang. This fact proves that he is a hero. Why do you say that? This needs to be based on his actual situation. He was born as a farmer, and his family background, education and occupation all influenced his character in one way or another. There are several points worth noting. First, because he is not a big official, but a small official, he has some experience of people's sufferings, which gives him the basis to help others with his own wealth, and also has a certain sense of justice different from that of rulers. Because he is in charge of documents in yamen, he has also developed the habit of observing statutes, which is related to his occupation. Based on his professional characteristics, it is difficult for him to do something personal with classical works. This choice is very important and can explain the problem. For loyalty, he took these risks on his own initiative. This choice powerfully illustrates the personality and character represented by his three nicknames with facts. Undoubtedly, the image of Song Jiang stood high in front of people from the beginning.

The first impression of doing things

When Song Jiang heard that Classical had committed a crime, he was taken aback and thought, "Classical is my confidant brother. He has committed a terrible crime now. If I don't save him, he will be captured and his life will rest. " He panicked and promised, "Chao Gai is a stubborn slave, and people in the county blame him." I succeeded this time, so I can teach him! Tao overbearing: "I'll do it if I'm bored with you." "。 Song Jiangdao: "It's easy, it's easy. "Catch it in a jar and take it when you get it." Only one thing: this real seal must be forged by observing yourself in the hall. After reading it, the official can punish it and send someone to catch it. How dare a small official open it privately? This matter is too serious to be easily leaked to others. Tao Tao said, "The company has a very bright future and hates to introduce it. Song Jiang said, "I've been on a business trip all morning. I'm tired and I don't have much rest." Observe for a while, and when you sit in the hall, the little official will come and invite you. " Tao Ba said, "I hope the company can do it." Song Jiangdao: "Of course, don't wait to speak. The little official went to my humble abode, assigned some housework observation and sat less. "

What this passage brings us is not an ordinary Song Jiang. He was nervous about such a big thing, but he didn't show it. Moreover, in handling, he handled it so appropriately and thoughtfully, which not only accurately reflected his public identity, but also won valuable time for himself and did not make these people doubt. It can be seen that Song Jiang is a great and extraordinary person. After he tipped him off, he was even more unhurried when he was in danger. When the magistrate of a county read the official document, he was frightened and said to Song Jiang,' This is Tai Shi Gong who sent someone to handle affairs, waiting for a reply! "You can send someone to catch these thieves," Song said. "If you go during the day, I'm afraid you'll get news. I'm afraid you'll send someone to catch them at night. If Bao Chao comes, those six people will be lost. ""not only make time for classical, but also tell the magistrate of a county to be considerate in order to catch these people. This kind of disposal has strong professional characteristics. He is the undertaker, in charge of documents and files, so he is cautious, resourceful and comprehensive, and likes to play politics.

After going to Liang Shan, Classical sent Liu Tang people to send Huang Cancan one hundred and twenty gold to thank him for saving his life. Song Jiang symbolically left only one piece, and asked Liu Tang to take the rest back and said, "Listen to me, my dear brother. Your seven brothers have just arrived at the cottage and are about to use gold and silver; If Song Jiang's family holds on, you can put it in the cottage and pick it up when Song Jiang is short of money. " This is by no means insincere, nor is it afraid of being implicated in the future, because the seven classics saved by the former messengers have been involved in their lives. This detail is consistent with the previous psychological activities, and I hope that Classical and others will not make any mistakes. And let Liu Tanglian Zhu Tong and others don't have to leave, but also shows the meticulous work of Sung River from the side. He thinks that the more people disturb, the more fragile things are.

Sung river anger killed Yan Poxi, is actually the beginning of sung river was driven to revolt. In fact, according to Song Jiang's character and his usual behavior, he had already noticed what happened in Yan Poxi. In fact, in his relationship with Yan Poxi, he doesn't have much desire, and he has adopted the method of cold treatment. Otherwise, if Yan Poxi took out the recruitment bag and returned it to Song Jiang, he wouldn't make a decision to kill people. Yan Poxi is so brazenly threatening Song Jiang because she knows Song Jiang's daily behavior and personality very well.

Song Jiang is a man.

The Water Margin has written many vivid characters, each with different characteristics. They are full of lofty sentiments and clever tricks, jumping over the eaves, singing in the atmosphere, calling for rain, or flying smoothly, but they are consistent. Although their personalities are outstanding, they are not complicated and do not give people a trace of doubt. Therefore, it is not elegant to read, and the evaluation of characters can only be completed from the general understanding of people. However, only two people in the water margin are very complicated. Except for one Gao Qiu, all the others are Song Jiang. Many people who have seen the Water Margin don't think they are the most emotional characters in the book. I don't think so. I think Song Jiang and Gao Qiu are indispensable in the whole Water Margin! If there is one less, it may be the maximum number of seats in this row, which will not affect the progress of the story. But without them, the whole book would be in disorder. Just like a beautiful peach tree, it is full of flowers in spring, but it has no fruit in autumn, so it has no soul.

Not to mention Gao Qiu, who is not much better than Qin Gui later, only said Song Jiang. Because this person is a bit interesting, and his personality has changed in stages. When the book began to point to him, he was just an escort in Yuncheng County, Jeju Road, just writing a case and recording the ownership of the county magistrate. The so-called talent is not greater than goodness, and ambition is not greater than benevolence. A character like this, who has done nothing, likes sticks all his life and makes friends with just people. Coupled with his lofty sentiments and Confucian love, he became famous in one fell swoop, making Shandong famous far and near and becoming a' timely rain'. When' Seven Stars' had an accident on Shouxing Steel, he learned that one of them had a good friend, Bao Zheng Classical, and he was so anxious that he risked his life to get through, which showed that friendship was more important. But more importantly, he showed strong dissatisfaction with the current dynasty, which also showed that he saw through the darkness at that time and didn't want to devote himself wholeheartedly, but he also lost his way and couldn't find a way to achieve his ideal, and at the same time felt that he could not extend his duties. This is the beginning of Song Jiang. At this time, it is not wrong for people to analyze him as a' declining landlord class'. In fact, it was the same, because at that time he lost his pursuit and orientation. But later, with the development of the story, this is not the case.

After Song Jiang killed Shiva without mercy, the viciousness and ferocity of human nature were more or less revealed. Although it is in a state of intolerance, there may be more solutions, not to mention another one. If it's true that different people have different opinions, can we just run out of the greenwood? But why kill people? As usual, shut up forever! In other words, when you do harm to yourself, you will never be kind, and you are not the kind of saint who returns good for evil. So he relented, and once this cruelty was exposed, Song Jiang gained another understanding of human feelings. Because he doesn't understand why a poor man like Xi Shi wants to blackmail him. It can be seen that the ugliness of human nature has changed his character a little, but it has changed. It was not until the breeze met' Xiao Liguang' that he saw through the true face of people more. He fell into the hands of women twice in his life, and both were rescued women. In a sense, he already has another view of women in his heart. As for his revenge on women, it will be reflected in the future; Song Jiang acted as a matchmaker for Wang Ying, as if heroes worshipped heroes. However, Zhang Qing already has a sweetheart, so it is not so much a matchmaker's words as a forced marriage. Besides, even if it's matchmaking, it's almost the same for both sides. Isn't this obviously destroying the wanted third mother? In fact, San Niang is just a victim of her family. Who knows which village he will break? Song Jiang at this time, in the eyes of a manager, is tantamount to a robber. Who knows what sung river will do if he doesn't give up sanniang? Can you not do it? Therefore, through this incident, it seems that Black Sung River promised loyalty. A little analysis will show that it persecuted women under the guise of benevolence and righteousness. Think about it. At that time, when Song Huizong was in power, filial piety was based on respecting parents first, and major marital events were decided in the name of others. What's more, the destruction of Zhujiazhuang is also a great loss to the family, and the two villages are about to get married. Song Jiang, who is the boss here? So another woman was dismembered, as mentioned above. Therefore, Song Jiang's personality change began with a woman, but if he keeps going, he may be single-minded, but it happened that he began to change again because of the interference of family precepts. This change became wily, and this change became the use of "wise and versatile".

Regardless of what happened after Sung River, let's start with Sung River in Qingfeng Village.

Song Jiang, people call it "timely rain". Former Shandong.

Yasi, Yuncheng County, dances and writes documents all day.

It's a small official. Classical and other seven heroes outsmart their birthdays.

The gang incident was arrested by the government. Fortunately, Song Jiang knew in advance.

. Classical Liu Tang sent gold and letters to Song Jiang.

His wife, Yan Poxi, found that Sung River and Liangshan had an affair and took the opportunity to put Sung River.

Threatened, Sung River angered Yan Poxi and fled to Cangzhou. Forced to rise

Liangshan. After sung river became the leader of water margin.

After being hugged, he was named Doctor Wude by Song Huizong.

The pacifist of Chuzhou, the military commander, was finally used by Gao Qiu.

The poisoned wine killed him.

Sung River came out of Qingfeng Village and planned to go to Liangshan, but his father faked his death to get him back. The book doesn't say what kind of person Song Taigong is, but I think the person who can convince Song Jiang must be great. I think maybe Taigong told him too much about serving the country. Loyalty is nothing more than the idea of serving the emperor. When it comes to serving the country, the Song Dynasty is in danger, and many rebel armies seem to have established dynasties. In addition, Song Jiang was originally an ideal hero, and Song Taigong told him his ambition, so there was a song in Xunyang Building in the future, "My heart is in Shandong, I am in Wu, and I am wandering around the world." If he is smart, he dares to laugh that Huang Chao is not her husband. "Finally, I bet on the word" Song Yuncheng's demotion ". Judging from this word, this is the beginning of another personality mutation of Song Jiang. This change has completely broken through the previous space and removed the previous pettiness, because he wants to do great things, and he must have the discretion to do great things. From then on, I went to Liangshan and sat in the second chair on the mountain, that is to say, the second in command on the beam. In the Water Margin, the only thing that posed the biggest obstacle to his ideal at that time was the king of Tota, Chao Gai. In order to consolidate his strength, he had to own his own gang. For the people around Skynet at that time, he knew that these were unreliable. He wants to recruit others to join, but he also wants to be unique in Liangshan. So every time he goes down the mountain, he collects some high-energy generals. Not only that, he also advised the Jianghu righteous to go up the mountain. For example, Chai Jin, Lei Heng, Dai Zhong, Zhang Heng, Zhang Shun, jy, Lu, Kong Ming, Kong Liang, Sun Erniang, etc. These are almost all his brothers who share weal and woe. Can you listen to classics without listening to him? Later, it was not until Sanshan Juyi, Gaotangzhou and Huyanzhuo went up the mountain that the king had seen the plot of Sung River. He knew that the people he had invited by all means were his enemies and killers, especially the arrival of Huyanzhuo. what did you say ? The burning in Hu Yan is different from other things. He was personally sent down by Chaogang, and Song Jiang didn't kill Hu Yan to burn, which is different from other things. So give the emperor a face down to Gao Qiu, also hinted that he is not rebellious, just dissatisfied with the court. So the heavenly king stood under his Juyi Hall and looked around. He finally realized that there was no one of his own in public. Besides Ruan Jinyong and Liu Tang, even Wu Yong saw the situation clearly. The remaining one entered Yunlong Gongsun Sheng, but he was an ignorant person. I don't know what to do outside all day. It is puzzling that he is still a man who pursues immortality, but he is insatiable. He got that set of birthday steel in those years, and the king couldn't help sighing, but he couldn't compete. Seeing was that he led the wolf into the room, but he was helpless, so he had to settle down and decided to abolish Song Jiang! I finally got a chance to visit Zengtou City in person. Why do you want to visit Zengtou City in person? That is, from now on, I will take over the relieving of Song Jiang. Because there is anger in my heart, I don't need to use force, just take Lin Chong. It should be said that from the overall analysis, only Lin Chong, Ruan Jinyong, Liu Tang and even Bai Sheng are credible, and most of them are old brothers. I especially took a fancy to Lin Chong, which is also in line with Lin Chong's character and determines that Lin Chong will never be entrusted with an important task in the mountains from now on. But after all, the heavenly king was concerned, so it was not without consideration to bring Hu with him. But it happened that there was an ominous sign, but Shi Wengong's long-range shot fulfilled Song Jiang. The name of the heavenly king is not true. Although it is called the King of Heaven, how can there be a King of Heaven in the world?

It is the death of Chao Gai, the king of Tota, that best illustrates the problem and hits the nail on the head. This is sung river failed to think of. What does classicism say? He said that whoever can catch Shi Wengong will become the master of Liangshan. Think about it. How could Shi Wengong captured by Liangshan be Sung River? Supposedly, the boss is gone, and this position should be the second child! It can be seen that Chao was desperate. He is a person who really thinks of Liangshan, so he made this rule. This is obviously let sung river made a mistake. When the will arrives, the first thing I worry about is Song Jiang, which is understandable. Wu Yong also nasty. Wu Yong, what's the hurry? As can be seen from the book, only Wu Yong and Song Jiang followed the classical "Seven Stars" at that time. Why is this happening? In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will understand Wu Yong's thoughts. As far as the birth plan is concerned, the main participants in design planning dare to take risks because of their humble origins and long-term failure, but their hearts are really full of rewards and times are difficult. Look what he did later. What did he say before he was recruited? He said that even if we want to win over, we must kill the soul of the imperial court first. This idea is correct. Killing the soul of the imperial court naturally proves your own value, indicating that Wu Yong is a person who can represent Song Jiang's thought, but he is smarter than Song Jiang. These are the words of the heavenly king after his death. Because of this idea in my heart, I also regard Song Jiang as a patron to show my gratitude.

Song Jiang saw all this in his eyes. At that time, it wasn't that he couldn't keep the first city, nor that he couldn't escape from Shi Wengong. He's just worried that he's not the one who caught Shi Wengong. He's going to catch Shi Wengong, and that's not for nothing! It should be said that Song Jiang hated classical music at this time, but he had his own way. He stopped playing in zengtou city and let it go first. What is he doing? Looking for someone who can replace Lin Chong in martial arts, I thought of Lu Junyi in Daming Mansion. Judging from the admission of Lu Junyi, Wu Yong played a decisive role. Poor and well-known Mr. Lu, held in his hand like a pearl, was ruined by Song Jiang's conspiracy. Later, Lu Junyi won Shi Wengong. It is conceivable that how could Liangshan's brothers be at his mercy? Isn't this Song Jiang's final layout? So Song Jiang naturally became the river's lake boss. Next, he changed Juyitang into Zhongyitang, all of which are righteous, but the meaning is completely different. In fact, discerning people have long seen that he betrayed the classical style. As for the future, it is even more outrageous. It can be said that Song Jiang is a great schemer. At this time, his personality change has been completed.

Later, it was the process of realizing his ambition. After winning Liao Gang, Fang La, Wang Qing, everything was logical. Although the Liangshan hero died more than half, he still achieved his goal. At this time, he not only became ambitious in character, but also became selfish, which is exactly what he said,' At the beginning, all the bones were dry!' But good and evil always have a cause and effect. In the end, it is still an absurd dream. He never washed off the "underworld" stain on his clothes all his life, and finally he died carelessly. (Later, Wu Yong died with him, which is somewhat unreasonable. Let's put it aside. Let's not talk about him. )

Before Song Jiang died, ambition knew it was useless, but the selfish heart of the villain had yet to be sublimated, so Li Kui jy was buried with him, euphemistically called afraid of rebelling against Li Kui jy, which ruined his reputation. I personally don't think so. Even so, it is because of selfishness. What's more, there is an important factor hidden inside. As you can imagine, the so-called lost heart madness can't be caged, or you can't see the heavenly king Classical, because Song Jiang's persecution of 100 single and eight people is open and recognized by these people in ignorance. However, classicism is different. The most difficult thing for him to face is this majestic king, which can be said to be his heartfelt words. So I found my most loyal companion to fight the king in the netherworld.

All the above comments about Song Jiang are just playing with the pen, and don't want to make a problem. When they are idle, the ink is stubborn and dry, which makes readers forget the traces. This is a short talk, so here it is.
