The world is preaching: the old do not read "Three Kingdoms", the young do not read "Water Margin". The reason why "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin" can both be included in the ranks of the "Four Great Classics" shows that they have their own unique characteristics.
The world's understanding of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin" is that "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is all machinations, and the screen is full of intrigues. Old people have already experienced the vicissitudes of the world and the cold and warm, if there is any more With the blessing of intrigue in the book, it is easy for them to lose their original innocence and simplicity.
And "Water Margin", the whole book is full of fighting and killing, and the values of the road see injustice and roar, which will affect the ignorant teenagers invisibly. As a result, the originally innocent and innocent youth became impulsive and irritable, and thus went to the other extreme.
This is just the basic understanding of this sentence, but I have a new view on it. I think the reason why teenagers don't read "Water Margin" is because they can only read the book's pleasures and grievances, but do not understand the inner details. How terrifying are the details in
"Water Margin"? If a careful person can find it, it is enough to describe it as "not suitable for children".
Pan Jinlian "Drug killing" Wu Dalang , the ins and outs of the villain showing all kinds of life
, I won't go into details here. The combination of the two was originally because Wu Dalang picked up a leak, which also verified one point: if you don't match, you will be punished. At first, the two ran a bakery shop, and they lived a well-off life in Yanggu County. Otherwise, people can't be idle. Wu Dalang carries a burden every day to sell cakes, and Pan Jinlian is a left-behind woman at home.
This is actually in line with the background at that time. Women are at home, and they don't go outside the door. It was not uncommon in and in the Northern Song Dynasty. Even so, Pan Jinlian was really busy at home.
If people are free, something will happen. The appearance of Wu Song successfully ignited the hormones that Pan Jinlian suppressed in the body. Seeing such a burly and powerful man appear at home, the long-suppressed heart instantly surged with passion.
However, several rejections by straight man Wu Song made Pan Jinlian more difficult to let go, which also laid the groundwork for the encounter between Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing .
Wu Song was on a business trip, and Pan Jinlian breathed a sigh of relief. Under the pressure of Wang Po , he was not ashamed to mess with Ximen Qing.
Don't Wu Dalang know something that everyone knows on the street? He just remembers Wu Song's request and will talk about it when his younger brother comes back. Brother Yun, , , who sells pears, was secretly unhappy because he was scolded by Wang Po. He ran to urge Wu Da to catch the traitor.
No matter how good-tempered Wuhan University is, it still needs some face. Therefore, Brother Yun couldn't get rid of the death of Wuhan University. To use Wu Dalang as a gunner just for his own selfishness, the prudence of such a small person in the market is really disgusting.
Wang Po pushed Pan Jinlian and poisoned Wu Dalang with her own hands. After that, everyone's actions showed the carefulness of the people in the market to the fullest.
Wang Po bridges Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian for money. As for whether to break up other people's families, Wang Po doesn't care. That's why she didn't hesitate to push Pan Jinlian to "kill" Wu Dalang with medicine.
After Wu Dalang died, Wang Po began to lead the "aftermath" work again.
According to Wang Po's statement, if you want to make this a good thing, you must be the first to settle it. So she later bought Uncle He Jiu with 10 taels of silver.
Uncle He Jiu is also a relatively typical villain in the market. After receiving the money, he was worried that Wu Song would come to trouble him, so on the day of cremation, he saved another bone to use as his amulet.
None of the neighbors around Wu Dalang did not know why Wu Dalang died, but those who could make money all took the opportunity to make money, or they took the opportunity to eat melons.
In "Water Margin", the common practice of the little people in the market is: It's not about oneself, hang up high, eat melons and watch dramas first. The
brothers were used to "sell"
's "Water Margin", the righteous words were shouted loudly, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.So, let's just call them "surface brothers".
Lin Chong and Lu Yuhou have been friends for many years, but when confronted with the conflict between the powerful and the friendship, there was no hesitation, and he resolutely chose the powerful and betrayed his brother Lin Chong.
At this time, some people may say that Lu Yuhou can hardly be called a hero, but Lin Chong can be said to be a veritable hero. Otherwise, Lu Zhishen and are put together.
Lu Zhishen saved Lin Chong's life in wild boar forest , but Lin Chong turned his head and told the two officers who were escorting Lu Zhishen's deeds of "pulling and weeping willows in anger". These clues are enough.
The reason why Lin Chong did this was that he still wanted to preserve the possibility of "release after serving his sentence". If he directly kills the official and goes away, there is no hope of going back.
Lin Chong is still thinking about being able to finish his sentence and be able to go home safely. In order to make his journey home less bumpy, this "misunderstanding" naturally has to be borne by someone. This is why Lin Chong betrayed Lu Zhishen to the yamen the reason.
and this is just the tip of the iceberg. After stepping on Liangshan, Song Jiang started a series of actions in order to recruit security and to enter the system smoothly. In the end, they attacked the Liao Kingdom in the north, destroyed Tian Hu, Wang Qing, and then went south to Fang La, leaving only a few of the 108 heroes. He sacrificed more than 70 brothers in exchange for a Chuzhou appeasement envoy for Big Brother Song. In the end, even before Song Jiang died, he took , Li Kui and as his back for fame. This is the so-called "brotherhood".
Hero is not a compliment
There is also a terrifying detail in "Water Margin", that is, the "hero" in the book. By reading "Water Margin", we can see that "hero" is not a compliment.
After Wu Song killed a tiger, people called him a "strong man", and when he killed people, people called him a "hero". As long as it is titled as a "hero", the implication is very obvious, that is, "a madman who can't be provoked".
And beyond that, heroes don't just kill, they eat human flesh. After Li Kui killed Li Gui, he was able to pull out his waist knife, cut off two pieces of meat, wash it clean, roast it and eat it. And this is already a commonplace thing in the description of the book.
This also implies that that society was originally a society where people cannibalize people. It is not a big deal if the weak are killed, but they will still be eaten by people in the end.
Postscript
