Excerpts and Appreciation of Water Margin
1, make a scene in the wild pig forest
At this time, Xue Ba raised his stick with both hands and looked at Lin Chong's head and cut it off. Just as Xue Ba's stick was raised, there was a thunder behind the pine tree. The iron mord flew in the future, threw the fire and water stick, jumped out of a fat monk and shouted, "I've been listening to you in the Woods for a long time!" "
Appreciation: This monk is a living Buddha! That's all. Unless Shen Zhi's remarks can sum up Lu's stirring! Also, the monk's mord came out at once, which is really exquisite. I didn't realize it until I read this comment: it really is. No wonder it feels like one go.
2. Mistaken into White Tiger Hall
Qiu shouted, "Lin Chong, you didn't call. How dare you join the White Tiger Festival Hall? Do you know the law? Are you here to assassinate Xiaguan with a knife in your hand? " Someone told me that you waited in front of your house with a knife two or three days ago, and you must have ulterior motives. "Lin Chong bowed down and said," Thank you. Just now, the two bureaus called Lin Chong to compete with the sword. " Qiu shouted, "where is it? Lin Chong said, "The two of them have gone into the hall. "。 "Qiu said," nonsense! How dare you come into my hall! Take this guy down! Before the words were finished, more than twenty people came out of the wing, dragging Lin Chong down, like a soap carving chasing a purple swallow, and muddy like a tiger spitting a lamb. Gao Taiwei was furious and said, "Since you are the head coach of the imperial army, you don't know the statutes yet. "Why did you enter Tang Jie with a sharp sword and try to kill this official?" Divide the money around and push Lin Chong down. I don't know what my life will be like.
Appreciation: From this passage, it seems that Qiu deliberately wanted to harm Lin Chong, and the hatchback had already been ambushed, with more than 20 people. Moreover, Lin Chong was convicted of "holding a sharp sword, so he entered the festival hall and wanted to kill this official." It can be seen that Lin Chong is dying! The metaphor of "muddy as a tiger with lambs" is even more vivid!
3. Gao Yanei's description.
Many idle Han Chinese came to wait on him, and when they saw the official's son worried, they all left in unison. Only one of them, Fuan, called "Dry Bird Head", not only understood the official's mind, but also made fun of it. Seeing the official's son sitting idly in the study, Fuan stepped forward and said, "The official's son is thinking of Shuang Mu. Guess what? " The official's son smiled and said, "You guessed right. This means nothing to him. " "Is there any trouble?" Fuan said.
Appreciation: Where there is power, there must be villains. These two villains played a very important role in Gao Yanei's plan to possess Lin Chong's wife. These two little people contributed two very despicable and vicious tricks to Gao Yanei respectively, which made Lin Chong go to the abyss step by step and lose everything.
4. Save Song Wu with kindness.
I saw a man standing beside Guan Ying's "xianggong". He is more than six feet tall, mid-twenties, with a white face, a moustache and a white handkerchief tied to his forehead. He is wearing a green tulle collar and a white silk. The man went to Guan Ying's ear and said a few words. Ying said, "Song Wu, a new prisoner, was seriously ill on the way." . Song Wu said, "I didn't cause any harm on the road. I ate wine, meat and rice, and I walked very well. " Ying said, "This man was terminally ill on his way here." . "I think his face is good, so I will give him a good meal." Soldiers on both sides, leaning on crutches, whispered to Song Wu: Tell me quickly that you are ill and "xianggong" will do it for you. You will hurt yourself if you push it only once.
Appreciation: We say that people who can make friends with kind people are all very good people, and they all repay kind people with kindness. But we say that this is not the highest state. What kind of person is the highest realm? Is a righteous person. Move as if everything is just obedient, and such people can't give in, buy, intimidate or seduce.
5. Song Jiang Inscription Poem of Xunyang Building
Take advantage of its euphoria, grind it into thick ink, dip it in a pen, walk to the white powder wall, wave a hand and write:
"I have been attacking history since I was a child, and I have the power to grow. Like a tiger lying on a barren hill, its hidden minions endure.
It's a pity that tattooed cheeks deserve Jiangzhou. If he gets revenge, he will bleed in Xunyang estuary. "
Song Jiang wrote it, read it himself and smiled. After drinking a few glasses of wine, I was not happy, but began to swing and dance wildly. I got a pen again, and after I went to Xijiang Moon, I wrote four more poems, saying:
"My heart is in Shandong and I am in Wu, floating in Pengjianghai.
When she was young, Ling dared to laugh at Huang Chao's husband. "
After Song Jiang finished writing a poem, he went to the back and wrote a big book with five words: "Written by Jiang." After writing, he threw the pen at Zhuo and sang to himself again.
Appreciation: Song Jiang's Anti-Poetry in Xunyang Building is something that can't be ignored. The importance of this matter does not lie in Song Jiang's self-examination and reflection on his life before his anti-poetry.
6. Hong and Lin Chong
Hong asked again, "Why are the great officials being polite today?" Chai Jin said, "This is the coach of 800,000 imperial guards, no better than others. How can you treat me lightly? " Hong said, "Because he is familiar with guns and sticks, high officials often associate with soldiers. They are all leaning on the grass and attached to the wood. They all say that I am a gun and stick teacher and come to the village to lure some wine, food and rice. " What a serious official! "Lin heard, kept silent. Chai Jin said, "You can't underestimate a mortal. Hong blamed Chai Jin for saying not to underestimate him. He jumped up and said, "I don't believe him. "If he dares to show me a stick, I can tell you that he is the real coach."
Appreciation: an envied person must have his capital, his advantages and some places that others can't reach. Jealousy often happens to people who are close and like-minded. Although Lin Chong is a miserable man who has suffered a lot, he still has the capital to make others jealous. This capital is his martial arts, his fame in the Jianghu, and the position he once gained. Hong is jealous that Lin Chong belongs to his peers, because both Hong and Lin Chong belong to the gun and stick coach.
7, water margin heroes row seats
Sung river listened to the big. Quickly show the stone tablet to He Daochang. For a long time, he said, "This stone is engraved with the name of a righteous man. On the side of the head is the word "for heaven" and on the other side is the word "both loyalty and righteousness". There are stars in the north and south above, but there are honorifics below. " If you don't see the responsibility, you must declare it from the beginning. "Sung river said," fortunately, Gao Shi has lost his mind. Thank you very much. If Mr. Meng sees the teacher, he feels great virtue. "Don't hide, afraid you will be blamed by heaven. Please try to disclose it and don't leave a message. " Sung river called the scholar Xiaorang and wrote it on yellow paper. Taoist He said, "The thirty-six lines of heavenly books in front of us are the highest sun stars. There are 72 lines of gobbledygook behind, all earthworms.
Appreciation: Is Water Margin a big place or a small place? After Chao Gai and Song Jiang became the castellans of water margin, whenever a hero came to vote, he always greeted them personally at Golden Beach, which was Song Jiang's style. What about Untitled Scholar and Wang Lun? In the face of Lin Chong's going up the mountain to join the partnership, he did not warmly welcome him, but casually sat at the top of Juyitang. We can know more clearly that the fate of Wang Lun is inevitable.
8, lu weeping willows:
Shen Zhi is also in a state of drunkenness. When they all went out to see it, there was an old crow's nest on the green tree.
They said, "Take down the ladder and your ears will be clean."
Li Si said, "I'll go up with you. I don't want a ladder."
Shen Zhi took a deep look, walked to the tree, took off his straight leg, put his right hand down, and stood upside down; However, he pulled his left hand to the upper section, straightened up and uprooted the poplar tree.
When the bandits saw this, they all fell to the ground and shouted, "Master is not a mortal, but a real arhat!" " How can you afford it if you don't have thousands of pounds of strength? "
Shen Zhi said, "It's tight. Tomorrow we will see martial arts equipment in the restaurant. "
The gangsters broke up that night.
Appreciation: In The Water Margin, the worst word of swearing may be "bird man". It is conceivable that in the Song Dynasty, "birds" were not very popular. After a painful life, Lu's long-standing resentment was suddenly ignited by the birds in the tree. Of course, the burst of power is to be released. The outbreak at this time is very amazing!
9. Drunk Jiang Menshen:
Song Wu picked it up, smelled it, shook his head and said, "No, no! In the future. " Seeing that he was drunk, the bartender went to the counter and said, "Honey, just change some with him." The woman took it, poured the wine, scooped up some good wine and drank it. The bartender will iron another bowl. Song Wu picked it up, sipped it and shouted, "This wine is not good either. You change it quickly, and I will spare you. " The bartender swallowed his pride, took the wine to the counter and said, "Honey, just change some good ones with him, don't be as knowledgeable as him." The guest was drunk and had to look for similarities. Just give him a few good ones. " The woman scooped up the first-class wine and joined the bartender. The bartender put the bucket in front of him and scalded another bowl. Song Wu took a bite: "This wine is a little interesting."
Appreciation: This passage is divided into several details, such as "smell", "shake your head" and "sip". As can be seen from this passage, I Song Wu deliberately made trouble, which laid the groundwork for Jiang Menshen to get drunk and hit people.
10, Song Wu hits the tiger:
Looking back at the sun, it gradually sets. It's October weather, and the days are short and the nights are long, so it's easy to be late. Song Wu said to himself, "What's the big bug?" People are too scared to go up the mountain. "Song Wu always walks. He is drunk and burns. Holding a whistle stick in one hand and covering his chest in the other, he stumbled and went straight to the forest. I saw a big bluestone, leaned the whistle stick aside, turned over, but stayed to sleep, only to see a gust of wind. There are four ancient poems about the wind: invisible and shadowless, the four seasons can blow everything away. Just pinch the yellow leaves from the tree and push the white clouds into the mountains.
Appreciation: Here, the time of tiger activities and the environment where tigers haunt are written. Two sentences tell the whole story in a horrible and sad atmosphere and mood, which makes people feel that a live tiger will suddenly jump out here and now.
Snow Mountain Temple 1 1:
Lin Chong shouted, "Good thief! You stay there! " Just pick up the box and throw it in the snow. He put the gun on the ground, put his feet on his chest, took out his knife from his body, walked up to Lu Qian, sat on his face and shouted, "Thief! I didn't have anything against you when I came. How could you do this to me? It' s just that killing people is excusable and unreasonable. " After Lu Qian excused himself, Lin Chong scolded, "Traitor, I have been your friend since childhood, and today you have come to harm me. Why don't you do it? Take a knife from me! " He ripped off Lu Qian's clothes. "Just spit a sharp knife into his heart, and he burst into blood and held his heart in his hand."
Appreciation: Why did the author write this carefully and make a declaration before killing people? This is to express the revolutionary and just nature of Lin Chong's murder. First, prioritize, kill two followers first, and then concentrate on killing the principal offender; Second, you can't kill people in ignorance; Third, the three-person killing method is different and the details are different.
12, I was sent here because I hated Gao Taiwei and made trouble.
Appreciation: Lin Chong was framed by Gao Qiu and sent into exile, but he said that he had bad relations with Gao Qiu and was afraid to express his anger. This vividly shows Lin Chong, a lower feudal official, who endured humiliation for survival in the officialdom social life.
13, it is the severe winter weather, with dense clouds and a rising north wind, but it has already rolled up a heavy snow.
Appreciation: beautifully written sentences, words like gold, fascinating descriptions, soothing and leisurely writing, fine products like realm, paper, and snow all over the sky.
14, I'm afraid there is charcoal burning in the brazier. After tearing down the broken wall and touching the half-body, all the fires in the brazier were put out by the snow.
Appreciation: This sentence has infinite beauty. On the one hand, it writes that Lin Chong is cautious, on the other hand, it also sets the stage for the forage field behind him never to catch fire on its own. It must be arson.
15, enter the temple gate, then close the door, there is a big stone next to it, and the general will come and lean against the door.
Appreciation: Lin Chong's careful writing, building a door with stones when entering the temple, portraying Lin Chong's character everywhere, and also laying the groundwork for the next arsonist not to enter the door. Lin Chong overheard what happened.
16, traitor, I have been friends with you since I was a child, and today you come to hurt me. Why don't you do your business? Eat my knife.
Appreciation: Here, Lin Chongyi cut off all the possibility of returning to the imperial court to live the old life. He is full of anger, and his words and deeds are different, which is really lifelike.
17, when Lin Chong saw him for the eighth time, he got up and continued: "Madam, I have a saying that I swam over Mount Tai. Because of Lin Chong's disaster in that year, I am going to Cangzhou today, and my life and death are at stake, and I am afraid I will miss my wife's youth. " Since I wrote a few words here, I hope my wife will stop waiting for the villain, have a good heart and marry herself, and don't miss a good wife because of Lin Chong. Hearing this, the lady burst into tears and said, "Husband, I have never been a little dirty. How can I get divorced? " Lin Chong said, "Dear, I mean well. I am afraid that in the future, two people will make a mistake and earn you again. "
Appreciation: This is a conversation between Lin Chong and his wife. Why did you choose it? Because this reflects Lin Chong's sincerity to his wife. If he didn't really treat her, how could he say such a thing?
18, send you a thousand miles, and finally say goodbye.
Appreciation: how far you send it, you have to separate it after all. The lofty sentiments in words are hard to hide after all!
19, people are not as good as the sky, and flowers are not as red as a hundred gardens.
Appreciation: Flowers will be red, but not for a hundred days. People's good fortune will fade sooner or later, not better than a thousand days, and there will always be bad luck.
Hungry and thirsty, the blade pressed its paw slightly to the ground, jumped up with its body and pulled him down from the air. Just at that moment, Song Wu saw the blade coming, only a flash, and it flashed behind the blade. It is the hardest thing for the blade to look at people behind, so the front paws touch the ground and the waist and buttocks are raised. Song Wu can only hide and hide aside. When the blade saw that he couldn't lift it, he roared, but it seemed that there was a thunderbolt for a long time, which made the mountain stand up, and the iron bar was like a tiger's tail, so it could not be cut. Song Wu flashed aside.
Appreciation: The writing is very vivid, describing the tiger's struggle with people, describing the tiger's ability to win people with a jump, a lift and a chop, and the roar of shaking the mountain. A living' real tiger' jumps from the paper.
2 1, Song Wu pressed the blade mouth straight into the yellow mud pit, but the blade didn't have the strength to eat Song Wu. Song Wu grabbed the top flower skin tightly with his left hand, stole his right hand, raised his fist the size of a hammer, and tried his best to fight. After fifty or seventy punches, the blade bursts with blood in its eyes, mouth, nose and ears. The Song Wu envoy tried his best to fight martial arts in his chest, but he seemed to block a brocade bag after half a break.
Appreciation: After several struggles, the tiger's prestige gradually decreased. Finally, how to be suppressed by Song Wu, how to struggle and how to be killed by Song Wu are all vividly written.
22, classical and others don't want to do such a big thing! Robbed the birth class, killed the public, and hurt He Tao's observation; Many government troops were also damaged, and Huang An was captured alive up the mountain: this kind of crime is to destroy the nine clans! Although forced to do things, it is not immune from the law. What can we do if there is negligence?
Appreciation: This psychological activity conveyed two messages: First, Song Jiang, as a person who knew the law in the imperial court, knew that a series of events of Chao Gai were crimes against the nine clans. Although what happened before is inevitable, it is impossible to turn back now; Second, Song Jiang was worried about Classical and others, fearing that they had made negligence and mistakes, and he was vaguely worried. This is a pair of contradictions. Theoretically, Chao Gai and others are not allowed to break the law, but emotionally, they are not expected to make mistakes. This is the true psychology of Song Jiang, and it is also the external expression of Song Jiang's complex personality.
23. At this time, Xue Ba raised his stick with both hands and cut it at Lin Chong's head. Just then, Xue Ba's stick was lifted, and suddenly there was a thunder behind the pine tree. The iron mord came and threw away the fire and water stick. A fat monk jumped out and shouted, "My family has been listening to you for a long time in the Woods!" "
Appreciation: Here is a wonderful description of the rescue scene of Lu when Xue Ba tried to murder Lin Chong. Lu said, "Cudgel has been listening to you in the forest for a long time!" " It embodies Lu's character, because coming out at this time can not only save Lin Chong, but also convince them of their "criminal evidence" and kill them again, which is justified.

Brief Introduction of Water Margin
The Water Margin is a novel written by Shi Naian at the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty (most of the existing publications are signed by Shi Naian and Luo Guanzhong).
By describing the grand story that Shui Bo, a Liangshan hero, resisted oppression, grew up to be accepted by the Song Dynasty, and finally perished after acceptance, the book artistically reflected the whole process of the Sung River Uprising in the history of China, profoundly revealed the social roots of the Uprising, enthusiastically praised the uprising hero's resistance struggle and social ideal, and specifically revealed the internal historical reasons for the failure of the Uprising. [28]
The Water Margin is one of China's four classical novels. After its publication, it had a great influence on the society and became a model of China's novel creation in later generations. The Water Margin is one of the earliest Zhang Hui vernacular novels in the history of China, which is widely circulated and well known. At the same time, it is also one of the epic works in China's language and literature, which has a far-reaching influence on narrative literature in China and even East Asia.
Content of water margin
The book describes the story that 108 people, led by Song Jiang, gathered in Liangshan Park, Shandong Province at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Shi Jin of Jiu Wen Long met Zhu Wu, chief strategist of Shaohua Mountain, and was reported by the government eagle dog. The local government sent troops to capture him. In desperation, Shi Jin burned down his manor and went to a foreign land, where he met Lu Da, a junior officer. When they were drinking in a restaurant, they heard the singing girl crying and asked if the father and daughter were bullied by the local bully town in Zheng Tu, Kansai. Lu Da generously gave silver, sent his father and daughter back to their hometown, and took the initiative to find you, killing the town of Kansai with three punches. Afterwards, he abandoned his job and fled. He happened to meet the singer's father who had a place to live and took him home to hide. Later, he went to Wutai Mountain and became a monk. His name was Shen Zhi. Lu was intolerant of Buddhist rules and regulations, and repeatedly drank too much, breaking the mountain gate. Helpless, the elders in the temple introduced him to Suoguo Temple in Tokyo and became a minister monk to take care of the vegetable garden. At the same time, he subdued a group of gangsters.
Lu happened to meet Lin Chong, the coach of 800,000 imperial troops in Tokyo, and they were very speculative. The son of Gao Taiwei, the powerful minister of the dynasty, coveted Lin Chong's beauty, designed and framed Lin Chong, falsely accused him of bringing a knife into Baihutang, and sent him to Cangzhou in an attempt to kill Lin Chong on the way. Thanks to the secret escort all the way, he was able to save the day. After Lin Chong was sent to Cangzhou, he went to Liangshan under unbearable circumstances.
There is a classical man near Liangshan. When he learned that Cai Jing's son-in-law and Liang Zhongshu, the magistrate of Daming Prefecture, sent Yang Zhi to escort the birth program to Beijing, he was designed by Wu Yong to rally seven people, including three brothers Nguyen, to rob the birth program in Huangnigang and go to Liangshan. Yang Zhi lost his birth contour and couldn't go back to work, so he joined Lu Shenzhi and occupied Erlong Mountain.
There is a Song Jiang named Hu in Yuncheng, Shandong Province. He has an outhouse called Yan Poxi. The man was having an affair, and found out that Sung River had contacts with strongmen and threatened them in every way. Sung river in a rage, killed Yan Poxi, fled to the small whirlwind Chai Jin Zhuang, to get to know Song Wu. After Song Wu killed the tiger in Jingyanggang, he became famous for a while and was hired as the county magistrate of yanggu county. He happened to meet his long-lost brother Wu Da. His sister-in-law Pan Jinlian was jealous of Song Wu Wei Ying and wanted to have sex with him, but Song Wu refused. After a business trip to Song Wu, Jinlian colluded with Ximen Qing and poisoned Wu Da. When Song Wu came back, he discovered his feelings and killed Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian to avenge his brother. Afterwards, he voluntarily surrendered to the county government and was sent to Mengzhou. When he met with grace, he was drunk and beat Jiang Menshen, became angry from embarrassment, killed Zhang Dujian and moved to Erlong Mountain to settle down. Song Jiang went to Huarong Road, the owner of Qingfeng Village, and was framed for some reason and sent to Jiangzhou. One day, he was drunk and accidentally wrote an anti-poem, and was sentenced to death. Saved by the Liangshan brothers, Song insisted on going home to visit his father. He was in danger again and finally went to Liangshan.
Then, after three strikes in Zhujiazhuang, Liangshan gained momentum by sending troops to save Chai Jin. Then beat off Gao Taiwei's three-way troops in a row, met Taohua Mountain, Erlong Mountain and Liangshan Mountain, and returned to Shui Bo. Then Classical was unfortunately killed by an arrow, and Lu Junyi went to Liangshan after many twists and turns. The insurgents attacked Zengtou City and repelled several imperial attacks. Many of them took part in Liangshan Juyi. Finally, the total * * * led 108 people and arranged 36 highest days and 72 seats for the underworld.
Facing the situation that Liangshan rebels became more and more brave, the court changed its strategy and sent people to appease them. So, under the guidance of Song Jiang and others' compromise thought, Quanliangshan accepted this appeal and was reorganized into the Zhao and Song armies. The rulers also adopted the strategy of impeded people and ordered Liangshan heroes to levy Liao. After several battles, they won. Then he was ordered to go to Jiangnan to conquer Fang La. As a result, Fang La suffered a crushing defeat, and the insurgents suffered heavy casualties. There were only 27 dead, disabled, wandering, hidden and scattered heroes 108. However, even these survivors failed to escape the bad luck that followed. Seeing that Liangshan Yi Army fought alone, the ruler killed Song Jiang and others shortly after conferring the title: Song Jiang and Lu Junyi were poisoned by medicated wine and mercury respectively, and Li Kui jy was taken to be buried with Song Jiang when he died. Wu Yong and Hua Rong hanged themselves in Liaoerwa, and a vigorous peasant uprising was thus stifled.
Brief introduction of the author
Shi Naian (1296—1370), a famous ear, also known as Zhao Rui and Yan Duan, is Zi 'an, whose name is Naian, or "Qiantang Shi Naian". Xinghua, Jiangsu, was born in Baijuchang, Xinghua County.

As The Water Margin is the first vernacular novel in China's history to praise the peasant uprising, it is of great significance in the history of China literature and world literature, so Shi Naian is known as the "father of China's novels".
Author controversy
The author of Water Margin is said to be Shi Naian at the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty, which was polished by Luo Guanzhong. The creators who actually participated spanned hundreds of years from Song Dynasty to the end of Ming Dynasty, including folk storytellers, literati and booksellers. It is a long literary work accumulated from generation to generation.
Judging from the signatures of early periodicals, in the 22nd year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty (1594), The Complete Biography of Loyalty and Water Margin in Fujian Yuxiang Shuangfengtang Edition was compiled by Luo Guanzhong, and in the 42nd year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty (16 14), Yuan published 120 copies of The Complete Biography of Loyalty and Water Margin under his signature.
According to other documents, Lang Ying once said in his seven manuscripts: "The Three Kingdoms and Sung River was compiled by Luo Guanzhong, a native of Hangzhou. Give meaning to the old, there must be books, so it is called compilation. Song Jiang also said, "Qiantang Shi Naian Book." Gao Ru's "Hundred Rivers Record" records that "The Water Margin of Loyalty and Righteousness" has one hundred volumes. Qiantang Shi Naian Book, edited by Luo Guanzhong. "When Li Zhi mentioned the author in" The Water Margin of Loyalty and Righteousness ",he said that it was" Shi (Naian) Luo (Guan Zhong) ". In addition, Tian Rucheng's Notes on the West Lake and Chen Shi both contain Luo Guanzhong's writings.
