On 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.

Tian Xiong Xing Baozitou Linchong

Lin Chong, the hero of the Water Margin, ranked sixth, followed by Ma Jun, the general of the Five Tigers. In his early years, he was the head coach of Tokyo 800,000 Imperial Gun Club. Because his wife was molested by Gao Qiu's son, and he was framed by Gao Qiu, when he was sent to Cangzhou, thanks to the rescue in the wild pig forest, he saved his life. When he was sent to Cangzhou prison city to guard the forage field of Tianwangtang, he was set on fire by Gao Qiu confidant Lu Qian. Lin Chong killed Lu Qian and braved the snowstorm to go to the water margin overnight, which was unacceptable to Untitled Scholar and Wang Lun. After Chao Gai and Wu Yong robbed Dan Liang of his birth outline, Wang Lun rejected these heroes. Lin Chong killed Wang Lun in a fit of pique and pushed Classical to the throne of Shan Liangbo. Lin Chong's martial arts skills are high, and he has won many battles. After the uprising army led by Fang La won in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Lin Chong suffered a stroke and was forced to stay in Liuhe Temple in Hangzhou for illness, and was taken care of by Song Wu, who died six months later.

Lu, the ancient star Zen master.

The 13th hero in Water Margin is the first leader of the Bujun Army. Lu, formerly known as Lu Da, is a running county magistrate. Seeing Zheng Tu bullying Jin Cuilian's father and daughter, he killed Kansai Town with three punches. Under the pursuit of the imperial court, he fled to Wutai Mountain to become a monk and changed his name to Lu. Shen Zhi couldn't stand the rules of Buddhism. He got drunk at the gate and ruined his golden body. He was sent by his elders to the Suoguo Temple in Tokyo to guard the vegetable garden. Because he kicked the vegetable thief into the cesspool and pulled out the weeping willows, his reputation is far-reaching. Lu saved Lin Chong in the wild pig forest, Gao Qiu sent someone to arrest him, and Lu became an outlaw in Erlong Mountain. Later, he defected to Liangshan, Shui Bo, and became an infantry leader. Song Jiang attacked Fang La, and Lu knocked over Fang La with a stick. Later, he died in Liuhe Hall in Hangzhou.

Li Kui

Straight and rude are twisted.

Li Kui jy has always been praised for his honesty, but among Liangshan heroes, honesty is not unique to him. Isn't Lu honest and frank? Isn't Song Wu honest and frank? But why the honesty and frankness in Li Kui jy are so popular is mainly because his honesty and frankness are pure, without any pretentious elements, but often with violent elements (I hope people don't like him because of this). The most typical places are: First, at the chrysanthemum banquet, Song Jiang angered Li Kui jy by mentioning his kindness. He "shouted:' Woohoo, Woohoo!'" "Just one foot, kicked the table and smashed it." Song Jiang wanted to kill him. He said,' Are you afraid that I dare to struggle? I don't hate my brother for killing me, nor do I hate him. I'm not afraid of heaven except him! "(back to the seventy-first) Li Kui jy although sung river alone, but he occasionally has his own ideas, therefore, he opposed to harness and attack, whether Song Jiangai likes it or not, but he has no accomplishment, so he will beat around the bush, which is also the harness, and Song Wu will only advise, not start work. The second place is that jy mistakenly believes people's words, thinking that Song robbed the cloth. He didn't ask questions. He swung a big axe and cut down the apricot yellow flag "for heaven" and "grabbed the class and rushed to Sung River." (back to the seventy-third) gave sung river a scolding. If they hadn't stopped him, Sung River would have been cut down. Geng of jy shines here. But as mentioned earlier, there is a serious tendency to violence in his honesty and confession, which often becomes the source of disasters for others. When hunting ghosts in Liu Cun, I found that my master's daughter was having an affair with someone else (if she was in free love from a modern perspective), so I killed both of them, causing my master to be heartbroken. Li Kui jy has the cheek to let others thank him! (seventy-three) Li Kui jy's frankness also shows that he knows he is wrong and is willing to admit it. He scolded Song Jiang for being wrong, so he went to offer a humble apology. (Back to the seventy-third)

Geng Jie is certainly not a bad thing, but it must be measured. If Geng Jie is regarded as an excuse for rudeness, what's the use of this Geng Jie? Therefore, Confucius said, "Those who are straightforward and rude are also distorted." Without the basic accomplishment, Geng Jie will only make a mess of things. Geng Jie is something that Li Kui jy would rather have nothing. Of course, if Li Kui jy doesn't even have Geng Jie, he has nothing to recommend. There is a poem praising Li Kui jy in the seventy-third chapter: "There are no traitors in the water margin, but there are courtiers in front of the loyalty hall. With Li Kui jy's double axe, the world can still stretch. " It is ridiculous, even nonsense, for the author to elevate Li Kui jy's Honesty and Frank to such a high level. People often regard the story that Li Kui jy went to court at the seventy-fourth session as a joke. Li Kui jy lets people pretend to be litigators, and then decide their own cases. How did he decide this case? He said, "This hitter is a hero. Let him go first. Why did this man who didn't grow up eat and fight? Show me your cangue in front of the yamen! " Here, Li Kui jy is a person who completely turns black and white, and doesn't even have the most basic concept of right and wrong. What does he appreciate besides fists and axes? In my opinion, the whirlwind wields two axes, and the world is as straight as ghosts.

"Who has patience, cut at the sight of the living"-life is the most enjoyable!

As soon as Li Kui jy appeared, he appeared on the stage as a forgiven murderer. Song Jiang and Dai Zhong are drinking in Jiangzhou Restaurant. Li Kui, jy is here. Dai Zong introduced to Song Jiang: "This is a small prison near my brother. His surname is Li, and his ancestral home is Baizhang Village, Yishui County, Yizhou City. This is a different name, called Black Cyclone Li Kui jy. His name is Li Tieniu abroad. He escaped because he killed someone. Although he was pardoned, he lived in Jiangzhou and never went home. Many people are afraid of him because of his bad wine. I can now let two axes and a fist stick work in this prison. " (back to the thirty-eighth) Dai Zong did not introduce the reason why Li Kui jy was killed. However, according to Li Kui JY's personality theory, the probability of his aggressive homicide is 80%. Critics of all previous dynasties seldom commented on this narrative, nor did they point out the nature of his riffraff from this passage, nor did they point out that Li Kui jy was killed, which shows their confusion.

Sung River gave Li Kui jy 12 two pieces of silver, and Li Kui jy was addicted to gambling, so he took it. As a result, he lost everything. Usually, he is a good gambler. If he loses, he will lose. But this time, he played hooligans and insisted on taking it back, which led to another fight.

In order to show his kindness to Song Jiang, Li Kui jy went to the river to beg for fish to eat. He didn't want to be good, but shouted, "You live fish on this boat, give me two tails." The fisherman told him to wait for the owner of the duck, but Li Kui jy got impatient and grabbed it himself. As a result, Hu Qiba stepped in and released all their fish, so the two sides fought. Just then, Zhang Shun (the owner of Yuya) arrived, and the two men fought again. Finally, Li Kui jy couldn't stand Zhang Shun's carrying water and drank a lot of water. After the fight, they went on drinking. At this moment, the singer Song Yu Lian came to sing. Li Kui jy was incited by pride. "Li Kui jy jumped up from the heart and put two fingers on the woman's forehead. The woman let out a cry and suddenly fell to the ground. "(38) back to my conscience, Li Kui jy didn't want to hit her, but he did, and he was not wronged. In Chapter 53 of Water Margin, Li Kui jy and Dai Zong eat in a restaurant. Li Kui jy knocked over an old man's noodles on striking the table, and the old man caught him and argued. Li Kui jy was going to beat him, but fortunately Dai Zhong persuaded him, otherwise, maybe the old man would be killed by Li Kui jy again. Back to the sixty-seventh, Li Kui jy wanted to make contributions, secretly ran away, passed by Han Bolong's restaurant, and was caught by Han Bolong without giving money, so Li Kui jy simply cut him down with an axe.

Looking at Li Kui jy from these places, what is it that he is not a hooligan? No, he's not a gangster, he's a robber! What's the big difference between him and Niu Er who was blacked out by Yang Zhi? There is a difference. Li Kui jy's nickname is Iron Bull. Compared with him, Niu Er is really a drop in the bucket. Isn't it necessary for him to call him grandpa when he sees Tie Niuer? Of course, if Niu Er is set up by Sung River, although he may not have the martial arts of Li Kui jy, I am afraid he is also qualified to be a hero. In fact, these rogue habits are found in almost all robbers, and their readiness to kill people is most closely related to this rogue spirit.

Li Kui jy never takes murder seriously, which can be seen from his words and deeds. Mr Dai complained that he was fighting with others because he was robbing fish, but Li Kui jy said, "You are afraid that I will get you into trouble. I killed one myself, so I will bear it myself. " He doesn't care about human life at all, and even the so-called promise is a lie. Why else would he run away if he killed someone? Not a man who dares to do anything at all. In Chapter 52 of Water Margin, Li Kui jy stood up for Chai Jin and killed Yin Tianxi. Li Kui jy said, "I'm leaving, so I have to stay with you." (52nd time) Chai Jin told him that he had an idea, so Li Kui jy left. It can also be seen that Li Kui jy is not the kind of person who does things by himself! Yin Tianxi is a bully, but how good can Li Kui jy be?

If Li Kui jy killed Yin Tianxi because he acted recklessly, and Yin Tianxi deserved it, then what Li Kui jy did in Jiangzhou was a robbery. The book says: "I saw him make the first contribution and kill the most." (40th time) Classical called him, but he didn't listen. "That Korea refused to answer. He waved a big axe in the fire and was only interested in chopping people. "(40th) also said that everyone followed Li Kui jy. "When we go down to the crossroads, we don't ask the officials, the army or the people. There are fatal disasters everywhere, and blood is flowing, and countless people are knocked down and overturned." (Fortieth time) Later, Chao Gai stopped jy from killing people indiscriminately, but "that Han (that is, jy) came to listen to the order, and the leader cut it with one axe." (40th time) Li Kui jy's killing at this time is purely for pleasure. If it is understandable to kill someone in front or to save Song Jiang, then Song Jiang has already been saved here, and there is no need to kill people, especially innocent people. Moreover, Classical is trying to stop him. Obviously, among the people who robbed the ceremony, Li Kui jy was a bloodthirsty person. What is particularly hateful is that he didn't listen to dissuasion at all, still, I killed me, you said yours. Li Kui jy's bloodthirsty disease not only broke out in this place, but also Li Kui jy missed a good opportunity to kill people when Liangshan heroes hit Zhujiazhuang for the third time. Li Kui jy went to Song Jiang for credit: "Zhu Long was killed by his brother, and Zhu Biao was also cut by his brother. When Hu Cheng left, the Taigong family was killed cleanly, and the brothers came to take credit. " He added: "I'm good at chopping, and I hope Hu Jiazhuang can do the same ... I didn't kill anyone in his village." Song Jiang complained about killing too many people and asked him how many live ones he had caught. Li Kui JY said: "Anyone who has patience will be cut down if he sees the living." (the fiftieth time) Song Jiang wiped his credit for this, but, "Black whirlwind laughed:' Although he lost his credit, he was killed happily.' "(50th time) Therefore, the murder of Li Kui jy has nothing to do with striving for success, but with his mentality. For him, other people's lives are not life. As long as he is human, he is interested in killing people. Killing is the greatest pleasure in his life. As long as anyone can kill people, men, women and children, he is welcome. Morally, he won't find out. He can't do it. Besides Hu Sanniang and Hu Cheng, there are Hu Sanniang's family. Besides him, who else in Liangshan is so bloodthirsty?

In Water Margin, there is a special place that Li Kui jy didn't blink when he killed the child. In order to force Zhu Tong up the mountain, Sung Jiang sent Wu Yong and Li Kui jy down the mountain. So, Li Kui jy killed the son of the magistrate who was cared for by Jeikiy, and he still killed him! I was so angry that Zhu Tong wanted to fight hard with Li Kui jy, but Li Kui jy had no choice but to stay in Chai Jin Village (5 1 back). The child is only four years old and naive. Although Li Kui jy was ordered to do this, isn't killing people his taste? Therefore, even in the face of a toothless child, he can still do it! Yu Xiangdou commented: "Li Kui jy murdered his 16-year-old son just because he wanted Zhu Tong to go up the mountain. I think there is sadness here. I cherish my husband! Suffering for a man and a child, Li Kui jy's heart, crane tears and sadness. " (Mr. Yu, there is a slight mistake in this comment. Li Kui jy killed the young, and the culprit was Song Jiang. This was proved in the fifth lecture1Back to Chai Jin. Of course, although Li Kui jy is just a tool without a brain, his crime of killing young people is irrefutable; Second, children should be four years old, not six. However, other critics either kept silent and showed their indifference, or simply praised Li Kui jy and belittled Jeikiy. For example, Li Zhuowu commented on Zhu Tong: "Even if the life of a young official is worth it, why be brave and soft?" He criticized the word "Buddha" when commenting on Li Kui jy's killing of the whole family! What a bunch of heartless guys with black and white upside down! However, we must not forget that the influence of these critics just shows that their views are not groundless, but represent the views of a large part of society, which is the most terrible. It is sad that critics like Yu Xiangdou are rarely known.

Li Kui jy is not only interested in killing people, but also in cruelty if he is in a good mood. Not only interested in cruelty, but also interested in eating human flesh! His killing of a four-year-old child was cruel-the child's head was split in half (5 1 time); After killing Gui Li, cut off his leg for dinner; (43rd); Kill two people when you catch a rape and cut them into ten pieces; (seventy-three) Song Jiang captured Huang Wenbing and wanted to put him to death in the middle of the year. It was Li Kui JY who did it voluntarily. The book wrote: "Li Kui jy picked up a sharp knife, looked at Huang Wenbing, and said with a smile,' You are in the backyard of Cai Jiu's magistrate. You can tell the truth, sow discord and encourage him out of thin air. You are going to die today, but the master wants you to die slowly. "He first cut a sharp knife from his leg, picked it up and put it on the coals in front of him to cook and drink. Cut a piece, fry a piece, and cut Huang Wenbing when there is no piece. Li Kui jy cut open his chest with a knife, took out his heart, and made hangover soup with all the leaders. "(40th) Li Kui jy sadistic interest can be seen here! Huang Wenbing, no matter how bad he is, shouldn't his desire to die quickly be satisfied? Why are these bloodthirsty gangsters so cruel? Where is the smell of people?

Why is Li Kui jy bloodthirsty [2]

Li Kui jy is bloodthirsty, which is not an isolated phenomenon. Since the history of mankind, the record of killing each other can be described as a history book. As I said above, when Li Kui jy kills people, there is a psychological state that we often ignore, and that is his excitement. His excitement when he kills people often even reaches the point of forgetting himself, which has become the research topic of many psychologists.

Conro Lorenz, a famous Austrian zoologist, wrote a book "Attack and Man", which made a profound study of human aggression. He believes that aggression, like other behaviors, is a human instinct. Under natural circumstances, it is also as helpful to the survival of individuals and races as other instincts. He also believes that although human impulse to attack often has devastating consequences, other instincts may have the same consequences in a less dramatic way. If Lorenz's view represents the views of many people throughout the ages, I'm afraid it's not an exaggeration. At all times and in all countries, there are countless documents about the good and evil of human nature, especially those about sexual evil. However, the question of whether human nature is good or evil is too deep and wide, and I don't intend to cover it too much in this article. If you are interested, please refer to my other article "On Human Nature as the Basis of Ownership Philosophy". ) In this article, I mainly want to discuss the root of Li Kui jy's madness when he kills people.

We often see the so-called "killing is sex" in novels or articles, which is the same as Li Kui jy's so-called "smooth cutting", that is, killing is for fun. So, as a thinking person, how can I have this evil pleasure?

There is a small Spanish town called Calanda, where ceremonies are held every year. On a fixed date every year, all the men in the town gather in the central square of the town, each holding a big or small drum. At noon, they began to beat the drums and didn't stop until twenty-four hours later. Soon after the drums started, they went into a state of ecstasy. In the process of drumming, they were hypnotized. When they stopped after 24 hours, many drums had been broken and the drummer's hands were swollen. The most special thing is that all the participants' faces showed a look of hatred. Obviously, this drumming ceremony expresses a strong desire to destroy. At the beginning of drumming, the rhythm of drumming contributed to the drummer's hypnotic state. However, the drummers' minds were completely overwhelmed by the passion of drumming, which supported their 24-hour uninterrupted drumming ceremony. Otherwise, if you don't eat, drink or sleep for a day and a night, people will be very tired.

Li Kui jy kills people in many situations, just like these Kahlan talents. In the process of killing, his whole body and mind have been completely occupied by this crazy hatred. He has been hypnotized by the pleasure of killing people, just like those patients who sleepwalk at night. In the whole process of what he did, he almost lost all his memories. He's not him anymore. He is just a killing machine. His brain can't command him to do anything other than kill people. So when he killed Song Jiang, he couldn't hear Classical calling him. When he killed Hu Sanniang's family, he claimed to be "successful" and cut it no matter who cut it.

Li Kui jy likes to kill and fight, the most important reason is that his life is empty. He likes drinking and gambling, which is the main content of his life. He made a living by following Dai Zong in Jiangzhou and often fought in prison. Dai Zong said that he was: "In Jiangzhou prison, but he was drunk and didn't do anything as a sinner, as long as he was as strong as usual in prison." I was troubled by him, too. When you see an uneven road, you can beat a strong man and make Jiangzhou people afraid of him. " (Back to the 38th) It seems that Li Kui jy is a man with a strong sense of justice, but after careful analysis of this passage and what Li Kui jy did in the book, we will find that, first, Dai Zong's statement is too flattering and does not conform to the facts; Second, if people in Jiangzhou are afraid of him, he must be a guy who hits people indiscriminately and curses like a common occurrence. At this time, Song and her mother heard that it was a black whirlwind just now, and they were too scared to go out. Otherwise, everyone should respect him, not be afraid of him. Thus, Li Kui jy is a hooligan who scares the locals, and there is not much difference between him and Niu Er. The daily life of such people is extremely boring. There is nothing more meaningful to do except gambling, drinking and fighting every day, so Li Kui jy's brother hates seeing Li Kui jy. To tell the truth, if there is such a brother in my family, what can I do but hate him?

◇ Lin Chong: Covering the sun and suppressing life ◇ Cloud

At first glance, Lin Chong is a very strange character in Water Margin.

On Lin Chong, it seems that there are three figures in the Three Kingdoms: Zhang Fei in appearance, Zhao Yun in skill, and Liu Bei at the beginning.

When it comes to the similarity between Lin Chong and Zhang Fei, some people may feel abrupt. They think that the imperial coach who is cautious and humiliated in the water margin is not as good as the fierce and reckless Zhang Fei in the Three Kingdoms. To say that Li Kui jy is no worse than Zhang Fei. However, readers should still remember what Lin Chong's nickname is "Leopard Head". On his seventh appearance, he said that his appearance was "leopard-headed, with eyes and moustaches, eight feet long", which was exactly the same as Zhang Fei's appearance in The Three Kingdoms. Lin Chong, the head of the leopard, is ",which shows that the screenwriter of Water Margin may want to write Lin Chong as Zhang Fei in the Water Margin Edition from the beginning, and even infer that we can't see the water margin story circulated by the people in the early days before the water margin was written. Perhaps Lin Chong is really a Zhang Fei-style character (Lin Chong's name is in the" Da Song Xuan He Legacy "and his nickname is already). There is already a fierce Zhang Fei-style black Li Kui jy to write (in Yuan Dynasty) For example, the image of jy in Li Kui is very close to that in Water Margin, so he rewrote the life story of an 800,000 imperial coach and injected some deep feelings into the story that are different from those of Lu, Liu and other rebellious figures.

Ladies and gentlemen, do you still remember how Lin Chong, the coach of the 800,000 imperial army, was driven to the mountain road step by step? It can be said that Lin Chong is the only person in the water margin who is strictly driven to the Liangshan Mountains. From the beginning, Water Margin tells the similar fate of two similar figures-Wang Jin and Lin Chong: both of them are imperial coaches, both of them are good at martial arts, naive and kind, and both of them are ideal national heroes, but they are persecuted by Gao Qiu, a frivolous rogue villain who kicked himself away. One of them was driven out of the house and the other was driven out. The narrator of Water Margin repeatedly compares with the treacherous rogue Gao Qiu, expressing his deep helplessness and resentment against the dark political situation in which Huang Zhong was abandoned, Wafu condescended and he didn't deserve it.

Lu Junyi

Nicknamed "Yu Qilin", he is good at martial arts and travels to the West with sticks. Originally a big family, the prodigal son Yan Qing was his servant. As the book says, "Lu was born in Beijing and grew up in a very wealthy family; No illegal father, no remarried relatives; Be careful when you do things with Jun, don't make trouble without reason, and don't take money. " His family is innocent, cautious and lives in Daming House.

Song Jiang longed for his name. In order to strengthen the momentum of Liangshan, he wanted to coax it up the mountain. Strategists Wu Yong and Li Kui jy pretended to be fortune tellers and dumb boys, and went to Ruff to tell their fate. Hearing that he was born in the year of Jiazi, the ugly month, the day of Bingyin, and the time of Ding Mao, Wu Yong was shocked, saying that "within a hundred days, there will be bloodshed: the furniture will not be kept and will die by the sword", and advised him to go thousands of miles away from the southeast to avoid the disaster, and wrote on the wall "A boat among reeds, Jie Jun swims alone at dusk." The righteous man carries a three-foot sword, but he wants to cut off the traitors. " Hidden head is anti-poetic.

Lu Junyi was arrested and wanted to go to Tai 'an to avoid disaster. When passing through Liangshan, he was ambushed and fought with Liangshan heroes. Lu Junyi was defeated, and when he fled by boat, he was captured alive by Zhang Shun, a white-striped man in Langli. Lu didn't want to become an outlaw, and Song Jiang didn't force him to put it back. When he returned home, his wife Jia had married the housekeeper Gu Li and framed him for colluding with the rebels. Lu Qu repented and went to death row. Thanks to Yan Qing, Shi Xiu and other heroes in Liangshan, they were rescued one after another. After I went to Liangshan, I got the second place. In front of Zhong Yi Hall, a banner of "Shandong Tiger and Leopard Wing, Hebei Jade Kirin" was erected.

After wooing, Lu Junyi was named as a military doctor, Luzhou appeasement envoy and deputy commander of military forces. Participated in the command of Liao and Fang La wars. After being injured by Gao Qiu's poisoned wine, he slipped and fell into the water while taking a boat and died.

Qing Yan

It is the last in the highest day of 36 days. Originally a Beijinger, his parents died when he was a child and he grew up in Lu Junyi's home. He can play the flute and sing, shoot arrows and darts, and is called "Yan Qing the prodigal son". After Lu Junyi was sent away by Wu Yong, the housekeeper hooked up with Lu Junyi's wife Jia, encroached on the Lou family's property and drove Yan Qing away. After Lu Junyi returned home, Coulee reported Lu Junyi's adultery with Liangshan to Daming House, and hid his face from poetry. Lu Junyi was imprisoned, and Li bribed and Xue Ba killed Lu Junyi. Dong and Xue were about to start work when Yan Qing came and shot them. After Lu Junyi was sentenced to death, Yanqing and Yang Xiong went up the mountain to certify that Sung River's army was under great pressure, rescued Lu Junyi in the surprisingly imperial court, and took refuge in Liangshan together.

Song Jiang Lantern Festival, Tokyo met a saint and a famous prostitute, Li Shishi. Yan Qing played the flute well, became brothers and sisters with Li Shishi, got to know Song Huizong, passed on the news of Liangshan, and made great contributions to the acceptance of Song Jiang.

After wooing, Yan Qing had a premonition that this would not have a good result, so he left alone and retired.
