Zhu Ziqing mentioned in "Writing Miscellaneous" that reading needs to increase the amount of reading, and it is also necessary to read classic masterpieces. At present, the classic masterpieces are very thick, and some children will inevitably have difficulty in converting from children's literature to thick masterpieces. Well, we need to find some bridge books for children so that children can quickly transition and then easily and happily classic masterpieces.

Today's introduction is Gao Yang's martial arts historical novel "Wild Boar Forest", which is based on two stories in "Water Margin".

When it comes to martial arts novels, I am afraid that many people will think of Jin Yong's works such as "Tianlong Babu" and "Legend of the Eagle Shooter" in their minds. It is undeniable that Jin Yong has indeed created a new world of martial arts novels. But the martial arts novelist to be recommended today is on a par with Jin Yong, known as Gao Yang who "has Jin Yong where there is well water, and Gao Yang where there are villages and towns".

"Water Margin" is one of the four famous books in China, and there are many characters and classic fragments in it. For example, punching the town of Kansai Jedi, Song Jiang angrily killing Yan PoXi, three dozen Zhujiazhuang, and so on. The author Gao Yang selected two popular story fragments: in the wild boar forest, the flower monk Lu Zhi deep wisdom saved Lin Chong; in the Wulong Courtyard, in time, The Rain Song Jiang angrily killed Yan PoXi.

Song Jiang et al. in the original work vs Song Jiang et al. in the novel

What are Song Jiang and Lu Zhishen in the classic masterpieces? In this book, the author Gao Yang shows us them from a fresh perspective.

The opening chapter first explained liangshan po here, talking about the number of bandits here in Yuncheng, but Zhixian has done a good job in recent years, and there are red envelopes to receive, and the reason is because of Song Jiang, a scrivener in one of the six criminal cases.

It was simple to explain Song Jiang's situation in Yuncheng clearly: he had the ability to work, had a wide network of contacts, was particularly good at handling affairs, was valued by the leadership, was reasonable, and had an unusual vision. The side also shows that Song Jiang is not a person who is satisfied with the status quo, but a person with ability and ambition.

Especially when Song Jiang saw He Tao, the author used "panic" to describe Song Jiang's mood, which was not expected, so he was flustered. "Get up and leave the seat", "lianlian return the courtesy", showing Song Jiang's humility, "personally wiping a stool with the sleeve" shows the indifference to the other party, expressing respect, and a verb "pull" shows the intention of closeness and closes the distance between the two.

The author Gao Yang took us to understand the two major fragments in "Water Margin", and also told us laterally that the fragments in the classic masterpiece are very interesting.

Let us learn to distinguish which are the same as in the original work, which are adapted by the author, and learn to distinguish, then the more we read, the more we will understand.
