The characters of Lu Zhishen in Water Margin are fearless of power, warm-hearted, anxious and courageous.
Lu Zhishen, whose real name is Lu Da, is nicknamed the Flower Monk, and he is a supporting actor in the classic novel Water Margin written by Shi Naian. The biggest characteristic of Lu Zhishen's personality is to take the initiative to challenge and attack the ruling class, that is, the so-called "Zen stick opens the dangerous road, and the Buddhist monk kills all the uneven people". He is a hero against persecution, but not against persecution of himself, but against oppression and injustice of others. He not only "draws his sword to help others when he sees rough roads", but also "kills people with blood, saves people with salvation".
He is the most resolute against oppression, fearless and never knows what danger is. He is not only a brave man with blood and idealism, but also has wisdom and practical ability. When he went to Zheng Tu for trouble, Lu initially only bought meat, and he was picky about the left and the right, which made Zheng Tu unbearable and took the initiative to find trouble with him, so Lu naturally struck back. After killing Zheng Tu, he pointed to Zheng Tu's body and said, "You faked your death". Here, Lu Zhishen's crude and refined character is also revealed.
Lu Zhishen's character has many advantages, but at the same time, it also has the shortcomings of rudeness, boldness and impatience. If he had endured the hardships of Buddhism in Wutai Mountain, he would not have been drunk and hit people, destroying the temple, and was finally sent away by the wise and true elders.
