Where did Wu Song go?

Wu Song is obviously the favorite character of the author of "Water Margin", and it took him a full ten years to write about him, and he used more space than Lu Zhishen and Lin Chong.

Wu Song is not the highest martial artist in "Water Margin", he is definitely the most famous. When you mention the characters in "Water Margin", you can immediately think of Wu Song.

The famous book critic Jin Shengxian also likes Wu Song very much and has a very high opinion of him-

Wu Song's celestial people have the breadth of Luda, the poison of Lin Chong, the righteousness of Yang Zhi, the goodness of Chai Jin, the speed of Ruan Qi, the truth of Li Kui, the agility of Wu Yong, the elegance of Hua Rong, the greatness of Lu Junyi, and the policeman of Shi Xiu.

On the whole, the author also likes Wu Song. When I watched "Water Margin" when I was a child, Wu Song's story is the most solid.

"Water Margin" writes Wu Song very intensively, from the twenty-third chapter "Henghai County Chai Jin Liubin, Jingyanggang Wu Song Fights the Tiger" to the thirty-second chapter "The martial artist is drunk and punches Kong Liang, and the Jinmao Tiger interprets Song Jiang", using tens of thousands of words, which is equivalent to a novella.

But after that, it was almost difficult to see Wu Song's shadow. Readers who like Wu Song exclaimed: Where did Wu Song go?

Actually, Wu Song didn't go anywhere, and he was still in "Water Margin". Some readers are not satisfied, and feel that Wu Song should be written well later, and it can't be so anticlimactic.

Why doesn't Shi Nai'an write Wu Song anymore? I can't write anymore, what if I write about someone else? 108 will be written in 30,000 words, which will become more than 3 million words of fiction. At that time, it was very slow to write with a brush, and it was not easy to revise it repeatedly. There is no computer, no network, no "Du Niang", typing, copying, and pasting will take a while to 1,800 words......

On the other hand, Wu Song has been particularly lucky. In front of him, the Tianfu Star Fluttering Eagle Li Ying and the Tianmanxing Bearded Gong Zhu Tong did not have much ink on the author.

Jin Dajian, Ma Lin, Zheng Tianshou, Tao Zongwang, Li Yun, etc., are not people who are engaged in the study of "Water Margin", who still remembers that they are characters among the 108 generals?

If I hadn't written the book "Hu Sanniang" and reread "Water Margin" twice, I would have forgotten them.

The structure of "Water Margin" is a "block-like connection" structure, and strictly speaking, it is not a novel, but more like a collection of short and medium stories, or a collection of "biographies". "The Biography of Wu Song", "The Biography of Lu Zhishen", "The Biography of Lin Chong" and so on. "Dream of Red Mansions" belongs to the network structure, paying attention to "grass snake gray line, thousands of miles of veins", and the structure is more clever.

Shi Nai'an was also helpless, before he was born, the story of "Water Margin" was widely circulated. Wu Song already had a tiger and a sister-in-law, and Shi Nai'an made it richer through reasonable imagination and further arrangement.

"Water Margin" has many characters to write, and there is no male protagonist. If there is, it is not Wu Song, it has to be Song Jiang. Therefore, Wu Song has reached the thirty-second chapter, and from the perspective of "character creation", it has ended, and it does not matter much whether to write or not in the future.

In fact, not only Wu Song, but also Lu Zhishen, Lin Chong, etc., there is no "development". After "Water Margin" finished the sitting, there were not many highlights. Later, it was almost hard and long, which can be regarded as "hydrology"!

In the author's book, Wu Song or Lu Zhishen are rarely written, one is a Taoist priest, the other is a monk, I don't know how to write it well, so I simply don't write it......

If you are interested in writing about Pan Jinlian in the future, then Wu Song can't get around. There are so many things to write about, I don't know if I have time.

(Note: "Talking about the Water Margin" is written casually, contribute something different as much as possible, and don't say anything else as much as possible.) ）
