Jin Vase Plum Fighting Tiger Wu Song is not a hero, nor is it a gentleman

Mondo Culture Updated on 2024-02-01

In the Water Margin world, Wu Song is a hero who stands up to the sky, Wu Song fights the tiger, kills Jinlian Ximen to avenge his brother, drunkenly beats Jiang Menshen, makes a big fuss in Feiyunpu, splashes blood on the Mandarin Duck Tower, and walks on the Centipede Ridge at night, majestic and righteous, representing justice, and has absolute immunity to money and women. In "Golden Vase Plum", the same tiger hero, the same sister-in-law revenge, but his sense of justice and morality is shaky.

Wu Song had too many opportunities to leave, but he never moved, just bowed his head and said nothing. Wu Song's silence was a permission to Jin Lian, so Jin Lian went down step by step, until finally Jin Lian invited to "drink concentric wine", Wu Song refused, and scolded Jin Lian bitterly. According to the ancient etiquette "uncle and sister-in-law don't ask", Wu Song's behavior violated the etiquette too much. In the original text, it is said that Wu Song is a "hard-hearted straight man", but how to look at Wu Song, he is neither "hard-hearted" nor "straight".

The last time Wu Song appeared was in the eighty-ninth episode, Pan Jinlian was kicked out by Wu Yueniang and waited at Wang Po to be sold. Wang Po was bargaining with Chen Jingji and Chunmei, Wu Song suddenly appeared without saying a word, took out 100 taels of silver and 5 taels of thanks, and deceived Wang Po into marrying her sister-in-law and living with her niece Ying'er. What a sarcasm, it used to be "Jin Lian seducing Wu Song", but now it has become Wu Song's seduction of Pan Jinlian, Jin Lian happily put on a red dress and put on a hijab to marry him. Unexpectedly, the marriage room turned into an execution ground, Wu Song first tied up Pan and stripped him naked, stuffed a mouthful of incense ashes, and then stepped on the ground, and then dug a blood hole in her chest with a knife. After dying, Wu Song pulled out Pan Jinlian's heart, liver and five internal organs, and finally cut off his head and offered it in front of Wu Da's spirit. This is **, Wu Song killed Pan Jinlian by cheating on marriage; This is "torture and killing", not a knife falling from the hand, but cutting off the head after the torture, Wu Song has become a "butcher".

What is even more unacceptable is that in the torture and killing, Wuda's daughter was always at the scene, and after witnessing the murder and bloodshed, Ying'er was locked in the murder scene. Ying'er cried "Uncle, I'm afraid", Wu Song said, "Child, I can't take care of you", turned around and jumped into Wang's mother-in-law's house, packed the fine soft and silver and went straight to Liangshan. In "Water Margin", Wu Song went to the government to surrender after killing the two, and daring to be a hero is the basic quality of a hero, but Wu Song here took the gold and silver of Wang Po and fled.

It is difficult to have a unified definition of what a hero is, but the hero's behavior is aesthetically pleasing, and it can be watched by onlookers, even if he does "evil", there will not be too much discomfort. The golden lotus seduced Wu Song, although Wu Song finally refused, but the ambiguity shown in the process was not to be watched; In the end, Wu Song "** Golden Lotus, Wu Song didn't want people to know, let alone let people know, so he "cheated on marriage"; The marriage room has been turned into an execution ground, and the bloody atmosphere has been permeated, without the slightest sense of heroic beauty, except for the disgusting blood, giving people more fear of being in a nightmare.

Why did Wu Song take revenge? Is it for the sake of affection? We'll get back to that next time.

In the four strange books of the Ming Dynasty, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin" and "Journey to the West" are all adapted from folk legends and mythological stories. Although the story of "Golden Vase Plum" comes from the "Wu Song Killing Sister-in-law" fragment in "Water Margin", there are very few parts where the plot intersects with "Water Margin".

Its biggest criticism is that the book has thousands of words, and in the long story of more than one million words, this part of the content is negligible, but if it is completely deleted, it will affect the coherence of the book. Even the content of *** is exquisitely written.

For the tinkling little brother Changzhi Festival, Ximenqing extended a helping hand. Sister Li Gui, the fan who deceived his feelings several times, did not wait for an opportunity to retaliate. On the contrary, when Sister Li Gui was involved in a lawsuit, he also used his power to rescue her.

The Golden Vase is the first realist masterpiece to depict family life. The book "Dream of Red Mansions" that we are familiar with is influenced by "The Golden Plum Bottle", and it can be said that without "The Golden Plum Bottle", there would be no "Dream of Red Mansions". "The Golden Vase of Plums" is about the daily life of the common people in the market, while "Dream of Red Mansions" is about the daily life of an aristocratic family. All dynasties and dynasties have their own history books, but the history books have always only recorded the affairs of the court and the major events in the world, and there are few detailed records of the daily life of the ancients. "The Golden Vase of Plums" opens a door of time and space for us to understand the lives of the people in the Song Dynasty and even the Ming Dynasty.

Mr. Lu Xun wrote in "A Brief History of China": "The author's understanding of the world is extremely insightful. At the same time, there is no above". Zheng Zhenduo said: "If all obscene chapters are removed", "Golden Vase Plum" "is still a first-class **."

Therefore, I recommend the ** "Golden Vase Plum" to readers, and many publishing houses have deleted the ** description, and there is no problem in reading. We can draw some lessons from it, and at the same time, we can recognize the critical significance of **.
