Song Jiang is the most core figure of the Water Margin, and there is too much controversy about Song Jiang, some people say that he is loyal and righteous, some people say that he has good intentions, and some people say that he is a treacherous villain.
Song Jiang (宋江), also spelled Gongming, was a native of Songjia Village, Yuncheng County, Jeju Province, and had a younger brother named Song Qing, but the Water Margin biography does not say that Song Qing had a character. The book of etiquette says that men only take words when they are 20 years old, generally they are elders or take words themselves, but generally people who take words are good family conditions, and families without culture will not take them. Song Jiang has a word and Song Qing does not, this is a very important detail, if it is Taken by Song Taigong, it is impossible to take it for only one person, so it is speculated that Song Jiang's character was taken by himself.
Looking at Song Jiang's appearance and black and short, how to look at his childhood life is not very good, according to Song Taigong's recollection that the family has been a farmer for generations, and Song Jiang, the son of filial piety, has been rebellious since childhood, refuses to keep his duty, wants to be an official, and says that he does not obey. It is to dislike Song Jiang and refuse to work as a farmer, so why can't it be a book? Because of poverty, reading is a special money-burning thing, and even if you read, you may not be able to change your destiny, you need money to invite teachers and participate in the examination, when the exam is taken, can you compare with the graduates of famous schools? Therefore, it is better to plant the land at the beginning, reading is a vain delay in kung fu, Song Jiang reading is not supported by his father, I think it is his mother who gave the greatest support, overcoming various difficulties to achieve the task of attacking the history of the scriptures since childhood. How did Song Jiang read it? Reached the level of anti-poetry.
That is, at this time, the family has undergone tremendous changes, all the savings in the family have been exhausted, Song Jiang had to give up his studies to find a way to make a living, Song Jiang is short and thin, what can he do. Song Jiang's dream is to be an official to change his fate, but he knows that Keju himself has no hope, so he can only become an official, and the official does not want to be a pawn, why do people want you?
At this time, there is a key person who appears, he is Chao Gai. Chao Gai was ten years older than Song Jiang when he appeared, and he was Song Jiang's veritable big brother. The family lives in Dongxi Village, far from Song Jiang, it can be said that the eight rods can not be beaten, at this time Chao Gai has already debuted, is the surrounding famous underworld gangs, hooligan concentration camps, song Jiang Mao who does not want to work as a farmer, so he volunteered to go to Chao Gai, Chao Gai looked at this skinny dwarf, and really looked down on him, but he could not stand Song Jiang's culture, he could always come up with some unexpected ideas, give Chao Gai a little surprise, he focused on analyzing Chao Gai's past, present and future, according to the current road, prison is your eternal home, Chao Gai must have asked what then? Song Jiang said that you need neiying, who is suitable? Of course it's me. Then he spent money to find a relationship to send Song Jiang to the Yuncheng County Management Training School, and Song Jiang became a clerk in Yuncheng County after graduating with honors. This story can refer to the movie Infernal Affairs.
Song Jiang is a knife and pen official in Huacun, his first job is the village cadre of Huacun, due to fate, he also rescued Hua Rong, Hua Rong became his first little brother, and established a lifelong bond, because of the outstanding performance in Huacun, Song Jiang was transferred to the county office, which was a rare opportunity for Song Jiang, others drank and looked for women after work, Song Jiang was working overtime, others were holiday family reunions, Song Jiang was still working overtime, as long as he did not die, he would die. There is always a reward for paying, and Song Jiang's ability to work has risen sharply. At the same time, the inner volume of Yuncheng County is also becoming more and more serious, the old Song speaks well, does things beautifully, and has continuously won various honorary titles such as the best employee of Yuncheng County, the king of the inner volume, the high-quality leek, and soon he has achieved the absalance, has the opportunity to contact the internal information of the imperial court, and finally it is time to repay Chao Gai, so under the mediation of Song Jiang, Chao Gai escaped the underworld strikes again and again, and the relationship between the two has grown by leaps and bounds, and Song Jiang and Chao Gai have regarded each other as brothers. The two of them worked together to have no uneven things in Yuncheng County, and Song Jiang became a big guy in Yuncheng County.
After talking about work, let's talk about Song Jiang's family relationship, Song Jiang's nickname is also called Xiaoyi Heisaburo, because he is the third oldest in the family, but where is his filial piety? It seems that the care of his father has always been the younger brother Song Qing, Song Jiang's filial piety is mainly reflected in two aspects, the first filial piety is to give money, let his family change from poor peasants to landlords, suddenly enter a well-off family, the old man changed from a peasant to a rich man, the son who did not do the right thing before has a job, let the old man eat well and drink well and have face, the second filial piety is to break off the father-son relationship, how to say that breaking off the father-son relationship is filial piety? Mainly Song Jiang gave too much money, obviously this is the huge amount of property from unknown sources, the old man is afraid, if something happens, he will not have to go to jail, so Song Jiang took the initiative to break off the father-son relationship, really let the old man spend peace of mind, with comfort. Song Jiang was busy all his life, suffering himself, fu du let his father and brothers enjoy, this is not filial piety is what it is, Song Jiang from a poor boy to a pledge, it can be said that he has completed the counterattack of life.
