Shi Naian must have hidden the history of the rise and fall of the Northern Song Dynasty in the stars, posthumous title, names and stories of Liangshan heroes, but it is not the ultimate metaphor of Water Margin. As far as the names of the five people mentioned by the subject are concerned, it is more to hide the secret history of the Ming Dynasty. Next, I will interpret the true meaning of Shi Naian from the names of these five people.
The history of the rise and fall of the Northern Song Dynasty is under the name of Liangshan stockade master. In fact, it is not necessary to know that Shi Naian hid the history of the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty in the name of Liangshan heroes, as the subject said. Just look at the homophones of the names of the four castellans in Liangshan, and you will know the meaning of Water Margin.
There are four castellans in Liangshan. Unfortunately, Wang Lun, Classical and Sung River have always been read-only, leaving out a key figure. Who is this key person? Let's talk about it later. Here, let's talk about the hint of the three castellans that everyone knows.
Wang Lun, the "King Wheel", means that people who were originally only qualified to be kings took turns to be emperors. When "Wang" became emperor, it was a change of dynasty, so the classical homonym "change of dynasty". From Wang Lun to Classical, it experienced a process of integration. Therefore, the alternation of these two castellans is to seek usurpation and change the dynasty.
Since it is a regime change, it will be ruined. There is a nursery rhyme in the Water Margin: the country is consumed by domestic wood, and the sword soldiers point to water conservancy. It was Song Zhao who destroyed this country. This is Song Jiang.
How easy and clear this interpretation is. However, what these three castellans implied was only the result of the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty. Why is this the result?
Shi Naian said that Wang Lun, Classical and Sung River were born because of Du Qian, which means that Du Qian changed the fate of the Northern Song Dynasty and pushed it to the abyss of extinction.
Du Qian was the first stockaded village owner in Liangshan, and this 500-year-old secret was the biggest hint of the rise and fall of the Northern Song Dynasty hidden by Shi Naian in Water Margin.
I have explained in other articles why Du Qian is the first castellan in Liangshan, so I won't say much here, only what is the hint of "Du Qian". "Du Qian" symbolizes the "Golden Chamber Alliance" related to Du Taihou, which changed the lineage of the Northern Song Dynasty. Song Taizong and his successors, who were only qualified to be kings, replaced the Taizu lineage and took turns to be emperors. The appearance of this Covenant is related to the sound of candles and axes, and the Liangshan fire is a hint of this history.
"Du Qian" is the antecedent, and the three subsequent castellans are the process and the result, and the cause and effect follow each other, which is the genius of Shi Naian.
Lu suggested that there was no Han and Tang dynasties after Yong Da Song. Most readers think that Lu Junyi's martial arts are the best in the world, but I say that Lu Junyi's martial arts are not in the top 20. Why? Because Lu Junyi never used a stick.
Song Jiang said that Lu Junyi's "Clubs Out of the Top Scholar", and there is also a poem "Man Ting Fang" in the book, praising: If you are used to using sticks, dragons will be stunted. These are probably two details of Shi Naian's description of Lu Junyi's martial arts in Water Margin. But this can't be the basis that Lu Junyi's martial arts is the best in the world, and it can only prove that Mr. Lu's club is the best. The question is, did Lu Junyi use a stick?
There are many strange ways to write Water Margin. Shi Naian also praised the tiger fighter: guns and sticks are unique in the forest, and Li Zhongzu was born in Baling. So, is Lu Junyi's martial arts worse than Jong Li's?
Just as Lu Junyi never used a stick, Luan Yuting's iron bar never went into battle to fight his opponent. Sun Li's hard bow was not fired, but his square painting just flashed. These weapons don't actually mean how powerful their owners are, but they hide the hint of extreme fear.
Lu Junyi's stick should be compared with a sentence in the story of Water Margin: the length of the stick is equal, and all 400 military states are surnamed Zhao. Isn't Lu Junyi's stick a "dragon protector"?
Lu Junyi has a metaphor of Zhao Kuangyin, and there is more than a symbol of "stick". As for what other symbols in the book are used to refer to Lu Junyi as Zhao Kuangyin, I will write an article to interpret them, and stop here.
Song Jiang also has the metaphor of an emperor. Zhao Guangyi is the third generation, Song Zhenzong is the third generation and the third generation emperor. As the third heir, Song Huizong forcibly boarded the "King's Wheel". So Song Jiang was clearly the eldest in the family, but he was written as "Song". Isn't he Song? Therefore, Song Jiang is a person who should "waste the country because of family trees".
Song Jiang's story also mentioned Yongle Emperor Judy. So when Lu Junyi was taken to Liangshan, Song Jiangxian knelt down. This is a visit to the former emperor.
Wu Yong interpreted Zhuge Liang as Zhuge Liang with the shadow of Zhu Gekongming in Water Margin, and took Zhu Wu as his assistant. The problem is that Zhuge Liang in Liangshan turned out to be "useless". Zhuge Liang in the book will be secretly written by Kong Ming and Kong Liang, and Zhuge Liang became Song Jiang's apprentice. Of course, he is "useless".
Together with Kong Ming and Kong Liang, our guards are compared with Lu Bu and Guo Sheng compared with Xue. Can these people help Wu Yong guard Zhong Jun? Can such Zhuge Liang restore the Han Dynasty? So can Xue defend Datang?
So, Zhao Kuangyin's world was defeated, and there was no Han and Tang Dynasties after the Great Song Dynasty. This is probably the earliest expression that "there is no China behind the cliff".
At the end of the list, there is a mystery hidden, which does mean that time has changed, but it does not mean that beauty has stopped because of the change of time. If you want to know the hint of "time shift", you have to go up again and at least read the last four people together.
Yu Baosi, the fourth from the bottom of the gang list of plough, is the homonym of "Bao Si". What is "wanting to protect four"? Originally, according to the stipulations in synopsis of the golden chamber, the fourth son of Zhao should be emperor afterwards. After Zhao Tingmei, it was Zhao Kuangyin's turn. In this way, even if it is "Du Qian", the throne of the Northern Song Dynasty has returned to the Taizu Zhengmai, so it will not be "Wang Lun". Without Wang Lun, where did the "DPRK Reform" come from? Where did you get the "river delivery"?
"Want to protect four" is followed by Bai Sheng, a day mouse. Bai Sheng is so hidden that no one can understand it for 500 years. Bai Sheng's nickname is a white mouse in the left hand of King Pishaman. This allusion comes from The Guardian Ceremony of King Pishaman. Classical Chinese is King Pishaman. So, when Classical grabbed the birth outline, he recommended Bai Sheng, and no one knew.
Among the twelve earthly branches, the son is a mouse and Judy is a mouse. In addition, Judy was born in the year of Gengzi in the lunar calendar (1360) and belongs to the golden mouse. There are many places where Judy is hidden in Water Margin. Only the metaphor related to the topic is said here, and the rest is not said.
Judy is also an old four, so "Bao Si" also implies that Judy is more qualified to be emperor than Zhu Yunwen. Because of Zhu Yuanzhang's "Sun Li", the Ming Dynasty also ushered in a fire. After "Rebecca", it was also a "king wheel" and a "political reform". Therefore, Shi Naian said that this dynasty was also dominated by demons, and its final fate was ruined.
So, when we get to Parkson, it's time to move. The Water Margin is a metaphor for the birth of the demon in the Ming Dynasty from the rise and fall of the Northern Song Dynasty.
There is a passage in Shi Naian's preface that explained the "time shift" long ago: Emperor Taizong reigned for twenty-two years and succeeded to the throne with the prince. The emperor is a barefoot fairy in the upper world. This passage is very vague, hiding the secret code of passing the throne to grandson in the Ming Dynasty. Shi Naian struck twice, and the time and space of Water Margin shuttled back and forth between the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, which is the real "time shift".
Duan is a Han Chinese in Liao country, hiding the "Song-Jin maritime alliance" that perished in the Northern Song Dynasty. At the same time, together with Huangfu Duan, another purple beard of Liao Han people, he hinted at the Yongle Emperor Judy.
Judy is an uncle, so there are Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in Water Margin. Shi Naian retorted that the beard is human, and Huangfu Duan's "grimace" is a true portrayal of the mystery of Judy's life.
Hidden in the secret history of the Ming Dynasty, the Water Margin will be stopped.
