The process of Lin Chong being forced to go to Liangshan has always been regarded as a typical example of "official coercion and civil rebellion". It tells us that the most dangerous place in the world is officialdom. Within the system, it is almost a dead door;And where the door of life is located, it is the rivers and lakes outside the system. The water margin, the waterfront, and the king are also outside. That is, the door of human life.
We have seen that in the Water Margin of Liangshanbo, there are only "brothers" who are commensurate with affection, and there are only "leaders" who are generally called, and there are no official positions of different levels and ranks. This is not only different from the officialdom system of the Great Song Dynasty, but also different from the real rebels Tian Hu, Wang Qing, and Fang La, who imitated the political system of the Great Song Dynasty. Tian Hu called himself the "King of Jin", Wang Qing called himself the "King of Chu", and Fang La called himself the "King".
Of course, the danger of this world is not limited to officialdom?The author of "Water Margin" immediately continued to write the story of Yang Zhi after writing about Lin Chong's pity. The title of the eleventh episode (Jin Sheng's sigh) "Liangshan Bolin Rushes to the Grass and Yang Zhi Sells Knives in Bianjing City" is very interesting: The grass has just fallen here, and the knife is sold over there, and the same is written as a poor hero!It's really a wave of unsettled, wave after wave.
In Yang Zhi's story, the oppressor not only has a political hooligan like Gao Yu and the system he represents, but even the ploppy Niu Er does not give him a way to live. Seeing Yang Zhi being entangled by a splash in the downtown of Tokyo, and finally had to kill him sexually, so he was imprisoned and sent to the army, giving people an inexplicable sad feeling, lamenting that the world has reached such a point.
In the twentieth episode of "The Drunken Woman Beats Tang Niuer, Song Jiang Kills Yan Po in Anger", which was praised by Li Zhen as the text "Broken with the help of ghosts and gods", the author writes that the Qian Po and Yan Po regret "can not only paint in front of you, but also in your heart;Not only can you draw the heart, but also draw the accident", this is a text that can only be written after a real understanding of the characters in life. Ancient Chinese scholars, since childhood, read the books of sages, are high-headed sermons, and then the imperial examination for officials, but also the official tone, their poems and words, but also the feelings of scholars, their compositions, but also on behalf of the sages. In fact, to understand China in the Yuan and Ming dynasties, it is far better to read the poems and prose of scholars than to read **. Only in ** can we see the true situation of the society at that time, the true state of customs, and the true situation of morality and morality. Like this time, when writing about the pious woman and writing about the Yan Po, not only as Jin Shengsian said, "If you write about the prostitute, you will write about the prostitute, and if you write about the pious woman, you will write all the pious women", but also write about the sophistication of the people in the market, and write all the traps in the tongue and the blade between the words. Jin Sheng sighed that this time, Yan Poxi's image is "Diao kills people when he is miserable, kills people when he is lewd, and kills people when he is ruthless", and has "a hideous cannibalism". It turns out that the people around us and the people we rely on are also the best people who sharpen their knives.
The dignified Song Dynasty, the emperor of Huaxia, is simply a place to kill people and set fires!
Rooted in the Great Song Dynasty, it is to die by mistake:
The emperor oppresses people.
* Filthy officials oppress.
Hooligans and ruffians bully people.
Even, the people around me and the people next to them are too deceitful!
In this way, if you don't flee to the Water Margin, you can go to **??
If "Water Margin" had been written in this way, it would have become an outstanding work of critical realism, but it is clear that "Water Margin", which was later written as a book, is better than this.
The words of "Water Margin" are full of the author's feelings: in the midst of suffering, there is romance;In the tears, there are smiles;In reality, there are ideals. "Water Margin" not only writes about the pity of the hero, but also writes about the respectability of the hero;not only writes about the coldness of the world, but also writes a trace of warmth in this coldness. One hundred and eight people, whose social identity is nothing more than robbers. Its preciousness, its approval, and favorite, is the warmth they sprinkle to the world.
Jin Cuilian's father and daughter lived on the streets of Weizhou, and the bully butcher town of Guanxi forcibly occupied the people's daughter Jin Cuilian, had enough fun, and drove out again, and falsely claimed that Jin Cuilian owed him 3,000 yuan, forcing Jin Cuilian to sing on the street every day to earn money for him. After Luda learned of this situation, he was furious and killed Zhen Guanxi, except for a harm to the people, and rescued Jin Cuilian's father and daughter from the vast sea of suffering.
Such a story is the most moving plot in "Water Margin". There is ** in "Water Margin", there is also justice, and the encounter of justice **, although there are injustices or twists and turns, and finally wins, so revenge, snow shame, and great injustice, so that readers read the blood and arms. In "Water Margin", there is a town in Guanxi, that is, there is Lu Tizhi;There are bullies who bully men and women in Guanxi, that is, there are three punches from Lu Ti's jurisdiction;There are Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian who killed Wu Dalang, that is, there are Wu Erlang's slaughter Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing;There is the killing of Gao Yu's father and son, that is, there is the help of the Chai officials;There is Yin Tianxi, that is, there is Li Kui;There is Niu Er, that is, there is Yang Zhi;There are Mao Taigong's father and son, that is, there are Gu sister-in-law and his wife. To put it bluntly, there is a court, that is, there is a water margin;There is officialdom, that is, there are rivers and lakes;There is Fengcheng spring, that is, there is Shandong Yanshui Village.
"Water Margin" tells us that although the world is occupied by feudal rulers, there is still a way out for people who have no way out, which is Shuibo Liangshan. And Liangshan is such an ideal world of equality.
Therefore, "Water Margin" is a "Ideal Country" and "Chivalrous Biography".
