In this Water Margin, the three heroes appear and they all seem to have one thing in common: they are so confident in their backgrounds or accomplishments that this confidence has somehow turned into a kind of self-aggrandizement. Lin Chong regarded himself as the "head of the 800,000 forbidden army", Chai Jin was convinced of the value of his family's "Danshu Iron Coupon", and Yang Zhi generously flaunted the family's illustrious background. However, what truth is hidden behind these rhetoric?Uncover the true stories of these legendary heroes.
Lin Chong, the self-proclaimed "head of the 800,000 forbidden army", is actually not as mysterious as the rumors. In the forbidden army, it is not uncommon for a leader like him to be seen. Compared with Lin Chong, Qiu Yue and Zhou Ang and others had higher military ranks and more prominent titles, and Lin Chong was just one of the ordinary sect leaders. The reason why he frequently emphasizes his identity as the "head of the 800,000 forbidden army" is really a helpless move, because he has nothing else to brag about.
Chai Jin boasted of the "Danshu Iron Coupon", however, this precious object was not a praise for him, but a symbol of the humiliation of the ancestors of the Chai family. This "Danshu Iron Coupon" has no meaning for the Chai family, but it has become a means for Chai Jin to flaunt himself. However, after Chai Jin joined Liangshan, he realized his mistake and never mentioned this embarrassing topic again.
In the end, Yang Zhi claimed to be "the grandson of the five marquis Linggong after the three generations of generals", trying to show his noble status with the glory of his ancestors. However, in comparison, he is extraordinarily flamboyant compared to Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo and other equally noble-born figures. Despite his wild words, Yang Zhi lacked strength and luck, and eventually became a snob after evading responsibility many times.
These three heroes may have left a strong mark on the legend, but in reality they are not the glory of the legend. The flaunting and self-boasting they rely on is only to cover up their own mediocrity and inadequacy. Underneath these gorgeous appearances, there are hidden real and ordinary stories, which make people sigh that heroes also have a mediocre side.
The chasm between the self-aggrandizement of these three characters and the reality of the situation brings us to the question worth pondering: how far is the distance between legend and fact?Perhaps, there are more untold stories behind these legends waiting to be revealed.
This article delves into the gap between the self-promotion of the three heroes in Water Margin and the real situation, which is thought-provoking. Traditional literary works often exaggerate the greatness and splendor of heroes, but the author uses the three main characters in the Water Margin as examples to vividly show the true face behind these legendary heroes.
Lin Chong, Chai Jin and Yang Zhi are all known for their own self-promotion methods, but when the article analyzes them, it reveals not the legendary omnipotence, but the ordinary and the blunder. Lin Chong boasted of being the "800,000 Forbidden Army Leader", but in fact he was just one of the ordinary leadersChai Jin is proud of the "Danshu Iron Coupon", but it is a symbol of the humiliation of the Chai family;Yang Zhi, on the other hand, flaunted his family background, but eventually lost his fame due to incompetence and snobbery.
This article highlights the humanity behind the hero, showing readers the chasm between legend and reality. The self-packaging of these characters may be an attempt to hide their inner vulnerability and insecurity. This way of writing inspired me to think about heroism and traditional narratives, and made me question the authenticity of traditional heroic images.
In addition, the article also reflects people's pursuit of fame and identity, and the desire to establish their own image and status in society. The examples of Lin Chong, Chai Jin, and Yang Zhi remind us that sometimes people can exaggerate in order to preserve their self-esteem or strive for a higher status, even at the expense of their own true situation.
Overall, this review provokes me to reflect on traditional heroic stories and reminds us to look rationally at the truth behind the characters. It presents a unique narrative that delves into the difference between legend and reality, and provokes me to think more deeply about the story behind it.
