After Yang Zhi lost his birthday program, he wanted to throw himself into Liangshan. He passed Qingzhou and happened to meet Cao Zheng, an apprentice of 800,000 imperial coach Lin Chong. Cao Zheng told me that there was a Zhu Bao Temple on Erlong Mountain, and someone in the temple ransacked their home. Discuss where you want the Zhu Bao Temple to be safe. A monk named Lu came. He was talking about flowers. Originally, I wanted to find a quiet place to join the temple, but Deng Long and others on the mountain refused. They want to go up the mountain, and Deng Long and others can't hide in the temple. This mountain is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
The three conspired, and Cao Zhengba, Lu, Dao Ghost tied the mountain to trick Deng Long and others into coming out and taking the temple. Since then, two dragons, Lu and Yang Zhi, have fallen into the grass of Erlong Mountain. Guandu and Xiang Qin sent back to Beijing to falsely report that Yang Zhi colluded with thieves and stole jewels. Liang Zhongshu informed Cai Jing. Cai Jing ordered the prefect to catch the thief. The magistrate ordered the arrest of He Tao and arrested the thief in Beijing for 10 days. He Tao was worried about this, and his brother He Qing told him about the party reform and Bai Sheng.
The Water Margin is one of China's four classical novels. It is a chapter-by-chapter novel with the Sung River Uprising as the main story background at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, and it belongs to a heroic legend in genre. The author or editor is generally regarded as Shi Naian, and most of the existing periodicals have one or two people, 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.
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 most epic works in China literature, which has a far-reaching influence on narrative literature in China and even East Asia.
In the Southern Song Dynasty, the story of Liangshan heroes was widely circulated. At that time, Gong Kai, a painter and writer, wrote a preface to the praise of thirty-six people in Song Jiang, saying: The stories of thirty-six people including Song Jiang have spread all over the streets; Painters also write pictures and shadows for them.
The earliest blueprint of Water Margin is the legacy of Xuanhe in Song Dynasty, which focuses on the main characters such as Yang Zhi selling knives, Chao Gai ganging up to grab the birth outline, Song Jiang killing and Lin Chong, jy, and He Lu. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, there were many stories adapted from Water Margin. In Yuan Zaju, the number of Liangshan heroes increased from 36 to 108.
Shi Naian sorted out and processed the stories and characters in Water Margin, and faithfully accepted the views of the people in the process of writing Water Margin, which is the ideological basis for the great achievements of Water Margin.
