Lu Zhishen rescued Lin Chong and did not hesitate to offend Captain Gao, which was a knife for his brother's ribs, which was a manifestation of chivalry. In real life, there are many brothers who drink wine and eat meat, but after the brothers offend the powerful, most of them run away, for fear of being implicated; After the brothers are in trouble, those who have the courage to help each other are not bad if they don't fall into the well, but there are too few people who dare to help! ”

"Chao Gai and others, robbed the Birthday Gang, in order to fight corruption, crack down on corrupt officials and corrupt officials, make up for the defects of heaven, the way of heaven is unfair, the emperor is unfair, I will make it public; There are disadvantages in the world, and the rest is to get rid of them! ”

"Later, Wu Song avenged his brother for his brother, and the biggest Jiang Men God was righteous and courageous!"

Chu Yun said, "In the first half, it is all about righteousness and bravery, and it is all about sticking a knife in the ribs of a brother. It is wonderfully written, satisfying the fantasies of many people in the real world. Many people, when they encounter bullies and oppression, can fantasize about Lu Zhishen coming and acting bravely; When some people are in trouble, they can imagine Lu Zhishen appearing; When corrupt officials are corrupted and the people suffer, they can imagine that there are Chao Gai and others to punish corrupt officials......"

But in the traditional understanding, "Water Margin" tells the story of the official coercion and the people's rebellion, through a series of stories, written with the rebel army led by Song Jiang as the theme, through a series of vivid stories of Liangshan heroes resisting oppression and heroic struggle, exposing the decadence and brutality of the ruling class in the late Northern Song Dynasty, exposing the sharp social contradictions at that time and the cruel reality of "official coercion and civil rebellion". According to the 120 chapters, the first 70 episodes tell about the heroes who went to Liangshan, and the last 50 episodes are mainly for Song Jiang's gang to be recruited to serve the imperial court and be killed by traitorous ministers! ”

Big reporter Liu Rumeng said: "In the traditional evaluation, "Water Margin" is regarded as a heroic legend novel, and it doesn't seem to be a martial arts novel! ”

"In fact, in the Water Margin, there are not only officials who force the people to rebel, but also thieves who force the people to rebel. In the Water Margin, many people want to be obedient people and live a small life, but Song Jiang did not agree, and through various means, some good people were forced to Liangshan, such as the jade unicorn Lu Junyi, and Chai Rong and so on! ”

"Those who have no money and no status rebel; No one will rebel against the powerful. Those people don't want to rebel, so they kill your whole family, kill your wife, burn your house, kill your benefactor, etc., and force them to rebel, which is called coercion! ”

"The Water Margin not only exposes the official coercion of the people, but also the hatefulness of the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty; also exposed the thieves forcing the people to rebel, coercing them to join, and wrote the hatefulness of those bandit leaders! ”

Chu Yun said: "The chivalrous spirit and the dark forces are only one step away, one step to heaven and one step to hell, the former is happy for everyone, but the latter is disgusted by everyone. No one likes it, some robbers in the name of righteousness, in the name of chivalry, killed their wives, burned down the house, and finally went up the mountain to be a thief, and finally said that they were famous, and they shared the blessings and difficulties! ”

"In the novel, there is a strong sense of substitution, and many readers like to substitute themselves into some characters. And "Water Margin" is a multi-protagonist novel, many people like to substitute for Lu Zhishen and Wu Song, but no one likes to substitute for the role of Song Jiang. Just because, Lu Zhishen and Wu Song have a chivalrous spirit, a spirit of righteousness and courage, and the spirit of eliminating violence and peace; But in Song Jiang, there are too many dark factors, before going up the mountain, kill your whole family. Many people like to associate with Lu Zhishen and Wu Song, and in times of crisis, they will act without hesitation; But associating with Song Jiang means that one day in the future, the family will be ruined and the whole family will die! ”

The big reporter nodded, indeed.

"The protagonist of the novel is not necessarily a positive character, but also a villain. And Song Jiang is the villain, but in the end he became the boss. This also illustrates the difference between the eldest and the younger brother. Little brothers, for the sake of chivalry, don't give up your life; And the bosses, in the name of chivalry, wantonly kill! ”

Chu Yun said with a smile: "In the Water Margin, there are many acts of killing wives, and many women play the role of adulteresses. In fact, if you strip away the words and the appearance of literature, you will discover the truth of the matter. Those who have wives and children, old and young, often do not dare to rebel and have a weak spirit of resistance; But if it is a stick, one person eats and runs, and the whole family is not hungry, then it is naturally a strong spirit of resistance! ”

In the novel, Lu Zhishen and Wu Song both dare to kill and fight, just because they are sticks, and there is no family involvement; And Lin Chong has been tolerating it, just because he has his wife to worry about. If you marry a wife, you are destined to have concerns, and it is difficult to get rid of it, why Lu Zhishen is a monk and Wu Song is a walker, in essence, they are destined to be singles, destined to have no scruples, and the spirit of resistance is the strongest! ”

And the people on Liangshan, in essence, are a group of desperate people, and restless people who guard themselves, under the banner of the glory of the way of heaven, doing the work of fighting for power and profit. Of course, there are some people who do the right thing for the country and the people, and for the sake of heaven, but in essence, most people are for themselves, and sometimes they don't even know it. ”

"Why many people like the imperial examination is not because the imperial examination is fair competition, there are still many unfairness under the imperial examination, and the selected talents may not be talents conducive to social development, just because the imperial examination allows scholars to have a ladder of advancement; Why do many people advocate democracy, it is not that democracy can bring happiness to the people and bring a better life, and the people in many democratic countries are extremely miserable, and they are not as good as some ** countries, just because democracy has given many careerists the opportunity to take power! ”

"Why are the heroes of Liangshan always shouting for heaven and fighting corrupt officials, not because they hate the dark society, but because this slogan can be in power; Why did he later give up doing the right thing for heaven and giving up fighting corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but instead became a high-ranking dog, just because Zhao'an had a chance to take power! ”

As he spoke, Chu Yun felt off-topic, and hurriedly returned to the topic: "Liangshan can be divided into two groups of people, one is the restless and self-guarded generation; One is the desperate. And the officials forced the people to rebel, and some of the persecuted people were desperate and went to Liangshan. But even in the era of rampant corrupt officials, some people live a very nourishing life. After all, corrupt officials are just greedy for money, which does not mean that they are incompetent, and they will also reuse talents! ”

Therefore, it is not easy to force these people to Liangshan, and there is one such thing as killing his wife. If the wife is virtuous and virtuous, it is naturally difficult to kill, so she is made into an adulterer and adulteress. Among them, only Lin Chong's wife was virtuous and virtuous, but fortunately, at that time, Liangshan was Wang Lun in power. If Liang Shan is Chao Gai and Song Jiang are in power, Lin Chong's wife who wants to come will also become a member of the adulteress! ”

"History is compiled by some people, saying that if you are a corrupt official, you are a corrupt official, and you are not a corrupt official and a corrupt official; Say you are a tyrant, you are a tyrant, not a tyrant, and a tyrant; To say that you are an adulteress is an adulteress, and if you are not! ”
