There is the story of "Wu Song fighting a tiger" in "Water Margin", the story of a goblin turning Tang Monk into a tiger in "Journey to the West", and the story of Li Kui killing four tigers in a row.

1. "Wu Song fights the tiger" in "Water Margin".

Wu Song (nicknamed: Walker Wu Song) went home to visit his brother and passed by Jingyanggang on the way.

After drinking a lot of wine at the Gangxia Hotel, I staggered towards the Gangshang.

Not much happened, but I saw the bark of a tree was scratched, and it was written: "Recently, big insects in Jingyanggang hurt people, but if there are merchants passing through the mountain, they should form a group to cross the mountain." , please don't make a mistake. "

Wu Song thought that this was a scary letter from the restaurant to let passers-by stay in his hotel, but he ignored it and moved on. Walk.

When the sun was about to set, Wu Song came to a dilapidated temple and saw a government notice posted on the temple door with the government's seal on it.

After Wu Song read it, he realized that there really was a tiger on the mountain. When he was about to go back to the hotel, he was afraid that the store would make fun of him, so he continued walking forward.

Due to the effect of alcohol, he found a large smooth bluestone and lay down on his back. Just as he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard a strong wind howling, and a big white-fronted tiger with an eye-catching look rushed towards Wu Song. He hurriedly dodged and hid behind the tiger.

As soon as the tiger jumped, Wu Song dodged again.

The tiger got anxious, roared, and hit Wu Song with its tail. Wu Song hurriedly jumped away, and when the tiger turned around, he raised his whistle stick, exerted all his strength, and hit the tiger's head. Fight it down.

There was only a "click" sound, and the whistle stick hit the branch.

The tiger got angry and rushed towards Wu Song again. Wu Song threw away half of the stick and rode on the tiger's back. He grabbed the skin of the tiger's head with his left hand and hit the tiger's head with his right hand. After a while, He beat the tiger until his eyes, mouth, nose, and ears were bleeding everywhere, and he lay on the ground unable to move.

Wu Song was afraid that the tiger would pretend to be dead, so he raised his half-whistle stick and beat him for a while. When he saw that the tiger was really out of breath, he stopped.

From then on, Wu Song became famous and was known as the "Tiger Fighting Hero".

2. In "Journey to the West", there is a story about a goblin turning Tang Monk into a tiger.

Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng hid their strength and were defeated by the yellow-robed monster in ten rounds.

Sha Seng was captured and Zhu Bajie escaped.

Later, the yellow-robed monster transformed into a beautiful boy and came to Baoxiang Kingdom to meet the king and said that Tang Monk was the tiger spirit who kidnapped Princess Baihuashy.

In order to prove that what he said was true, he cast a spell in public to turn Tang Seng into a tiger.

In fact, this spell is just a very common deception in the fairy world.

However, the monarchs and ministers of Baoxiang Kingdom are all mortal and cannot be seen through.

Tang Monk was imprisoned in an iron cage and would be executed in public soon.

Extended information:

In "Water Margin" written by Shi Naian, Wu Song's first performance was to fight tigers in Jingyanggang. Wu Song went home to visit his brother and passed by Jingyanggang. One day, he went to a restaurant and drank eighteen bowls. After getting drunk, he wanted to go on his way.

The restaurant told him that there was a tiger on the hill that would hurt people, and advised him not to go.

Wu Song didn't believe it, but he encountered a big, eye-catching white-fronted insect on the hill.

Wu Song used all his strength to beat the tiger to death with both fists. The tiger hunting in Jingyanggang is a masterpiece that has never been seen before and will never be seen again.

Later it was impossible to match it.

But behind Wu Song's tiger attack lies a strange disaster in ancient China, the tiger disaster.

China’s tiger culture has a long history, and it has long become one of China’s totems.

Due to the majestic image of the tiger, it has been used since ancient times to symbolize the bravery and strength of soldiers, such as tiger generals, tiger ministers, tiger soldiers, etc.

In ancient times, a tiger was engraved in gold on the military talisman for dispatching troops, which was called a tiger talisman.

In various fields of traditional culture, it has become an indispensable part of Chinese civilization. However, Chinese people have very complicated feelings towards tigers, with a mixture of love and hate.

The frequent occurrence of tiger disasters was a nightmare for people at that time. It has been documented in history since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

The Chinese have a long history of hunting tigers, which appeared in oracle bone inscriptions and animal bone records about three to four thousand years ago.

In ancient society, humans and tigers were very close to each other. In order to survive, conflicts between humans and tigers were inevitable.

For example, "When King Wu hunts, there are two out of twenty birds and tigers." It talks about the hunting of King Wu of Zhou Dynasty. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius passed by the foot of Mount Tai. He was filled with emotion when he saw the tiger hurting people, and said an eternal famous saying: Harsh government is fiercer than a tiger.
