Song Jiang in Water Margin

brief introduction

[1] Because Huangnigang grabbed the birthday class to sell dates, Song Jiang 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. 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 became the deputy leader. Later, when attacking Zengtou City, Chao Gai was shot in the face by a poisonous 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 108. Defeated Tong Guan, Gao Qiu and other places, captured Gao Taiwei alive, and Liangshan reached its peak. In the future, Song Jiang led many people to woo the court, won a great victory over Liao in the north, and forced Liao to surrender voluntarily. Later, Wang Qing and tian hu (referring to 108 generals) made great contributions to the Eastern Expedition. Unfortunately, he was poisoned by treacherous court officials. After he knew that he was poisoned, he gave Li Kui jy a glass of poisoned wine, because he knew that when he died, there was nothing but an empty name, and Li Kui jy would resist and avenge his brother, so he gave Li Kui jy a glass of poisoned wine, and they died. Wu Yong dreamed at night that Li Kui jy and Sung Jiang were holding hands and said that we were dead. The next day, Wu Yong went to the place where two people had a dream for him, saw their graves, and prepared to hang himself from a tree next to Sung River's grave. Huarong is here, too It turned out that he and Wu Yong had the same dream, and they hanged themselves together in a tree next to Song Jiang's grave. Personality and Image As a literary image, Song Jiang is the most plump, three-dimensional, complex and artistic figure in the whole novel. Song Jiang's character is gradually enriched in the speaker's description. Lu Xun's A Brief History of Chinese Fiction once quoted Chen Tai's Preface to Jiangnan Qu in the Addendum to Suoan's Suicide Letter, saying that "when I was a child, I heard my elders say Song Jiang" and "Song Yongwu was narrow-minded". In the process of completion, Water Margin combined with the description of zaju, and made a comprehensive "packaging" of its people and events. Song Jiang is the most famous one in the Water Margin. Song Jiang has three 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. Also, from Song Jiang's Poem on Inverting Xunyang Tower, we can see that Song Jiang is resourceful, ambitious and uneasy about the status quo. Song Jiang's image has never been pleasing. Misha Huailin's book "Rongyutang Engraving Water Margin" said, "If people are in Songjiang, they will worship and cry when they see people. He calls himself a petty official or a sinner. It's a false real robber, but it can clean up people's hearts, and it's not useless. At that time, if we took it as a stage, we could appoint a person, although we dared not fire a minister. " Jin Shengtan believes that the author "hates Song Jiang's treachery", and he also thinks that "Song Jiang is just using tricks to win people's hearts", so "Shiqian and Song Jiangdu are first-class people" and "decided to take the exam" among 100 people. But most people don't think much of Jiang, because he has always been the leader of Liangshan heroes, and eventually led to the tragic fate of the rebels and himself. Wu Yong portrait Wu Yong, word pedant, water margin figure, Liangshan third. A native of Dongxi Village, Yuncheng County, Jeju City, Shandong Province. Knowledgeable, knowledgeable and resourceful, he often compares himself with Zhuge Liang and is called "Mr. Jia Liang" and "the wise man". He is a professor in the rich family.

Liang Shanbo 108 General Wu Yong [1] Tota Heavenly King Chao Gai, etc. Wisdom named Xiang Liang Zhongshu as Cai Jing's 100,000-year-old program, and went to Liangshan to escape the imperial court. For the secret strategist in charge of the cabin. Almost all the military operations in Liangshan were planned by him. After enlisting, Zuo Songjiang and Lu Junyi conquered Liao, Wang Qing and Fang La with excellent results. General Wu Jie was awarded, and Vu Thang's army undertook this mission. Later, when I saw Song Jiang killed, I felt that the imperial court was in power and was afraid of being punished. He and Huarong Road hanged themselves in front of Sung River's tomb outside the south gate of Chuzhou, and the body was buried next to Sung River's tomb.

[Edit this paragraph] Wu Yong's main deeds:

Wu Yong, a wise man, was smart all his life and studied thousands of books. Make two copper chains. Wu Yong gave advice to Classical, outwitted the birth outline, charmed Yang Zhi, a green-faced beast, and stole hundreds of gold, silver and jewels that Liang Zhongshu, the official of Beijing, gave Taishicai for his birthday. When he defected to Liangshan, seeing that Wang Lun was not allowed, he tricked Lin Chong into merging with Wang Lun. Song Jiang was arrested in Xunyanglou's anti-poetry, and was taken to the execution ground with Dai Zhong. When he was about to cut, Wu used a trick to rob the giving ceremony and save Song Jiang and Dai Zhong. Sung river hit Zhujiazhuang twice and failed; When attacking Zhujiazhuang for the third time, Wu conquered Zhujiazhuang with the strategy of interlocking his palms. When Wu Yong broke the serial horse, he sent a thief to trick Xu Ning into Liangshan. When Song Jiang was in trouble in Huazhou, Wu Yong gave advice and borrowed Su Taiwei's golden bell to hang it, and rescued Jiu Wenlong Shi Jin and Hua Monk Lu. After the defeat of the classical Jingtou City, Wu Yong pretended to be a fortune teller and wrote an anti-Tibet poem at Lu Junyi's house to trick Lu Junyi into going up the mountain temporarily. Lu Junyi was framed after returning home and was finally beheaded. Shi Xiu robbed the gift and was trapped in Beijing. Wu Yong made a plan in time, first posted a headless post to stabilize the situation, and then moved to Daming House, and rescued Yu Qilin Lu Junyi and desperate Saburo Shi Xiu. During his life, he made many ingenious plans and made many meritorious deeds. After wooing, he was appointed as the special envoy of the Vu Thang army. Wu Yong, a resourceful doctor, once made a friend with superb medical skills, Mr. Wang. Mr. Wang's three sons are also excellent doctors. On this day, Mr. Wang was ill. His three sons tried their best, but none of them took care of their father. Mr. Wang stayed indoors all day, bedridden and sad. Hearing that his old friend was ill, Wu Yong took time out of his private school to see Mr. Wang. As soon as he entered Mr. Wang's house, Wu Yong took Mr. Wang's pulse without saying anything, and then prescribed a prescription for his sons to follow. Mr. Wang's son took a look and saw that it said: "Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch, Platycodon grandiflorum and Lonicera japonica Thunb." Indications: Irregular menstruation. "It doesn't look like a prescription. It was a joke, but they didn't know what to say in front of Wu Yong, so they put the prescription aside. After Wu Yong left, the three sons took the prescription to Mr. Wang. Mr. Wang took it and almost laughed: "Ha, ha, ha, my good Mr. Wu, even men and women are invited to treat. It's really clever all my life, and it's ridiculous to be confused for a moment!" "After laughing, he felt relaxed, so he put the prescription on the wall and wanted to laugh when he saw it. Soon, Mr. Wang recovered miraculously. At this time, Wu Yong came to Mr. Wang's house again. Mr. Wang asked him about the prescription. Wu Yong replied: "You have depression and there is no cure. If you want to get rid of boredom, you must laugh often before you can cure it. That's why I gave you that seemingly absurd prescription to treat the disease. Hearing this, Wang had an epiphany and admired Wu Yong's talent even more. Special problems can only be solved in special ways. Zhiduoxing, the nickname of Wu, the star of cats. It is not difficult to understand the meaning of knowing many stars. " Wisdom and resourcefulness ","star "is naturally a god in the sky. According to Mr. Zhang Qingjian, it means that Wu Yong's wisdom is like a fairy in the sky, knowing the past and the future and seeing through all sentient beings in the world. In The Water Margin, Liu Tang got the news from Liang Zhongshu, the famous capital of Beijing, that his father-in-law Cai Taishi was celebrating his birthday in Tokyo. He wanted to "give up halfway" and vote for Bao Zheng Classical in Dongxi Village, Yuncheng County, in order to "get justice". Drunk in Lingguan Hall, Lei Heng, the leader of the night patrol, regarded it as a thief. Classical saved Liu Tang when he knew it, and "gave twelve taels of silver to Lei Heng" for relief. Liu Tang felt very wronged and secretly caught up with Lei Heng to get his money back. When they were "together", Wu Yong came out of the "side door" and persuaded them through the copper chain. This is Wu Yong's first appearance in Water Margin. The author told him that when Wu used a scholar to dress up and look at the man, he looked like a scholar, wearing a barrel scarf with a beam of eyebrows, a wide shirt with a soap collar and linen, a brown belt around his waist, silk shoes and socks, and a long white beard. This man is Wu Yong, an intellectual and ideographic scholar, Mr. Jia Liang, whose ancestral home is local. There was once a poem "Linjiang Xian" that praised the benefits of Wu Yong: reading thousands of classics, being smart all his life, and learning six things and three strategies. Hidden in the chest are soldiers, and hidden in the abdomen are soldiers. Strategy dares to bully Zhuge Liang, but Chen Ping is no match for talent. One or two moves were stunned by ghosts and gods. The word Wu pedant, many people are wise and many stars. (See "The Water Margin" for the fourteenth time, "The Red-haired Ghost Drunks the Lingguan Hall, and Chaotian Wang recognizes the righteousness of Dongxi Village") When Wu Yong was a teacher, he made a living by teaching several children in Dongxi Village. Although both Lei Heng and Classical called him a professor, the book only said that he was "dressed like a scholar". It is said that the Northern Song Dynasty was the most proud time for literati. The imperial court offered courses to select scholars "indiscriminately", but it would not "turn a blind eye" to Wu Yong's talent. So, why is he not accepted by the times? As readers know, Wu Yong was born in Yuncheng County, and because he teaches in Dongxi Village, he is considered to be a native of Dongxi Village. According to the Records of Geographical Names of Yuncheng County, Wu Yong, a villager from the automobile market, is located about 10 km east of Yuncheng County. This automobile market village was originally named Wujiadian, and was later divided into Dongwu Jiadian and Xiwudan. Wujiadian is a market. Every year, the eighth day of the fourth lunar month is a "material exchange" conference. The vehicle and timber market is located in West wudan, which is called "automobile market". After a long time, West wudan has naturally become an automobile market village, and it has become a "legal" village name today. This is why although the word "car" begins with the word "car", there is no car surname in the village. Wu, the most common surname in Auto Market Village, is a descendant of Wu Yong. In fact, the author of Water Margin only described Wu Yong as "dressed like a scholar" and did not say that he would not take the imperial examination. According to the saying handed down from Auto Market Village in Wu Yong's hometown, he not only took part in the imperial examination at that time, but also almost became the "No.1 scholar". Wu Yong's father was a famous genius in Yuncheng County at that time. Qinqi calligraphy and painting are omnipotent, and he knows all the four books and five classics. After graduating from college, Wu Yong was ordered to go to Beijing to catch the exam. The article was taken away by the examiner, who wanted to point out that Wu Yong was the champion. At this time, Cai Jing had another idea: Wu Yong's article didn't say anything, but he didn't care. If he didn't come to pay homage to Cai Fu, he didn't give him a gift. If he becomes the champion, how can he control himself? ! So, in the early morning when the top scholar was selected, Cai Jing said, "Wu Yong's article is good, but the name is unlucky. If he is really "useless" as the number one scholar, isn't it detrimental to the image of Dasong? " The emperor thinks that "the words are reasonable", and Jinkou finalizes: Wu Yong will never be hired! Wu Yong's father didn't know the above situation, and in the year of scientific research, he ordered Wu Yong to take the exam again. Wu Yong went to Cao Zhou (now Heze, Shandong Province) and met an old man drying wheat in the North Yard. At this time, although the sun was shining brightly, Wu Yong calculated that there was a rainstorm in the afternoon and told the old man to put away the wheat quickly to avoid losses. Who knows, the old man smiled and said, "No need. Although it was raining heavily, it couldn't come to our fields. A gust of wind just blew away the rustic atmosphere in the wheat fields. " Sure enough, in a short time, the southeast wind suddenly blew, the dark clouds suddenly came, the thunder was loud and the rain poured down. Strangely, the south side of the road flows like a river, but there is no rain in the north, only a gust of wind. Wu Yong suddenly realized: I met a master! From then on, Wu Yong gave up the idea of seeking fame and fame, and learned Zhouyi and Sun Tzu's Art of War from the "old man". After studying for three years, my father kicked me out of the house as a "rebellious son" when I went home. Helpless, Wu used classical Chinese to teach, took the title of "a scholar with pronunciation and a gentleman with brightness", and gradually became intimate friends with classical Chinese. In Dongxi Village, Wu Yong often "solves problems" for the people, so he got the nickname "multi-star wisdom". Wu Yong, who outwitted the birth class, appeared in Outlaws of the Marsh, and later began his career as a "strategist" in Liangshan. During his career as a Water Margin, he had an ingenious plan to encourage Lin Chonghuo to merge with Wang Lun, destroy Zhujiazhuang and Zengtou City, and capture Daming House. , the cause is booming, sung river as "various ge plug". In the third period of Dajuyi, Ren Liangshan was in charge of the confidential strategist. Wu Yong was the source of a series of victories for Liangshan heroes, whether in the process of Liangshan career development or in the previous battles of helping Song Jiang defeat Liao, Ping, Ping Wangqing and Fang La after enlisting. It can be seen that the nickname of "Zhi Duo Xing" is not empty. There is no doubt that Wu Yong's wisdom is superb, and the author of Water Margin compares him to Zhuge Liang. However, looking at the description of Wu Yong in Shuihu, he is quite different from Zhuge Liang, and even can't be compared at all: Zhuge Liang knew the "three points" in the world when he was young, which can be described as far-sighted, while Wu Yong made plans according to the situation and "experts" everywhere, and had no strategic vision; Zhuge Liang is the victim of two generations, with the same goal and dedicated himself to death. Wu Yong also assisted two generations of castellans, but his behavior went with the flow. His strategies and decisions are always attached to the duke. Without Classical and Song Jiang, Wu Yong seems really "useless". Therefore, Mr. Fan once vividly described: "Wu Yong seems to belong to rabbit meat, and it looks like eating it in any pot. "The thing is. After all, Wu Yong is just a secret star. Astrologers believe that people's low evaluation of the secrets since ancient times has a considerable relationship with the attention paid to stability in ancient society. If Zixing is the emperor, then the secret star is the counselor around the emperor. The basic nature of cats is change, but it does not represent the change of life, but represents the agility of the mind, mainly in mental activities. Smart mind, many ideas, like to try new things, willing to change the status quo and seek breakthroughs, and uneasy about stability are all advantages in modern times, but in ancient times, a society that values honesty, perseverance and does not emphasize change is bound to be out of place. Cat Star has a flexible mind, can be a good assistant, give advice to others, and is a versatile star, which can make cats play their intelligence. However, if you want Cat Star to start his own business independently and bear great mental pressure, it is not a cat's specialty. The ancients said: knowing people's faces but not their hearts, people's hearts are the most difficult to understand, and good and evil are often between thoughts. Although the brain is flexible, but the outcome is good, it still depends on whether the intelligence can be used in the right direction and have foresight, otherwise, although smart, it may eventually become smarter and smarter. This secret will produce different forces in different houses. Wang Miao's secret is both spiritual and analytical. If you follow the long song again, you will be eager to learn and succeed, and you will often become an excellent professional. Your career performance is quite outstanding, which should not be underestimated. You can even be your own boss. On the other hand, if the cat falls into the flat palace, it will only have spiritual strength, weak analytical ability, easy to see things differently, learn more and make less progress; Either you have strong analytical ability and lack of spiritual motivation, and you are good at thinking, but you are easy to be empty and lack of sustenance. At this time, you must have the cooperation of Yao Ji to make up for the deficiency. If you see Yaoyao again, it is often only active and reckless, which increases the twists and turns of life. Let's see what kind of person Wu Yong is in the Water Margin. In the early days, Wu Yong, with the character of Classical, was bold and fearless, and with the wisdom that Classical didn't have, as soon as he appeared, he promoted the "seven stars gathering righteousness", outwitted the birth class and inspired Lin Chong to merge with Wang Lun. What a clever man, full of energy and narrow-minded! In Song Jiang's time, such a brilliant intellectual became sophisticated, depressed, wavering and shrinking, although he kept trying to win people's hearts. Wu Yong asked master Liao for advice and felt "reasonable"; Wang Qing returned home in triumph, but Liangshan heroes were not allowed to enter the city. The leader of the water army asked the military to "make a statement" and kill Liangshan. Wu Yong replied: "My brother Song Gongming flatly refused ... The snake has no head. How dare I make my own decisions?" -There's something when classical "Fire and Wang Lun" and "Wisdom" have a little shadow! After wooing, Wu Yong helped Sung River to defeat Liao, Ping, Ping Wang Qing and Fang La, and was appointed as a military envoy by the court. I heard that after Song Jiang was killed, he only hanged himself in front of Song Jiang's grave. So in my impression of the Water Margin, I only used 72 words to evaluate Wu Yong: "Wu Yong must be an expert. "His childlike heart, superb wisdom, clever calculation, and Qi Xin's concerted efforts are the source of a series of victories in Shuihu. However, the inherent weakness of intellectuals limited his strategic vision. He thought he was smart and resourceful, and in the end he was a "strategist".
