"Water Margin" is one of the four masterpieces of ancient classics, and it is also a classical "martial arts" novel.
The best Liangshan man with the spirit of "martial arts" in the book is the flower monk Lu Zhishen. Lu Zhishen is the author's favorite Liangshan good man, followed by the walker Wu Song. Although there are one hundred single and eight generals on Liangshan, there are not many "really good men" among them. What kind of people are "really good guys"?
"Really good man" must have the ability of heroes, heroic things, and heroic spirit, and these three points Lu Zhishen has.
Pulling out weeping willows is the ability of heroes, righteously saving Jin Cuilian, righteously saving Lin Chong, and capturing Fang La is a heroic thing, living frankly and frankly, and being righteous is the spirit of heroes. There is a line in the theme song of the old version of "Water Margin" called: "The road is uneven and a roar", a brainless person like Li Kui is not a really good man, Lu Zhishen is fighting for the rescue of Jin Cuilian, angrily beating Zheng Tu, he is a really good man.
In "Water Margin", Wu Songshang should be "Heavenly Wound Star", implying that his personality is too strong, and he would rather bend than bend, which would hurt himself. Lu Zhishen should be "Heavenly Lone Star", which means that his closest friends on Liangshan are not many, and it can also be said that he is outstanding.
As the saying goes, "things are clustered by kinds, and people are divided into groups", a chivalrous person like Lu Zhishen, he will certainly not make friends with people like Wang Ying, Zhou Tong, and Dong Ping. Lu Zhishen had two friends on Liangshan, one was Wu Song and the other was Lin Chong.
Lu Zhishen and Lin Chong met in the vegetable garden next to the Great Xiangguo Temple. In addition to growing vegetables, Lu Zhishen showed martial arts to a group of pippi. It just so happened that Lin Chong passed by, and he couldn't help but open his mouth to applaud. Lu Zhishen and Lin Chong saw each other as they were, and with just a few faces, the two became close friends. When Lin Chong was escorted by Dong Chao and Xue Ba, Lu Zhishen rushed to the rescue and escorted Lin Chong all the way. Lu Zhishen, he is a good man with feelings and righteousness in "Water Margin".
Lin Chong vs Lu Zhishen
In "Water Margin", Lin Chong yong won the three armies, and he was the famous "leader of the 800,000 Forbidden Army". When Lin Chong went to join Chai Jin, Chai Jin saw Lin Chong "na tou and worship", and personally wrote a letter of introduction to Lin Chong to Liangshan. Chai Jin's attitude towards Lin Chong was not much different from his attitude toward Song Jiang.
On the prestige of the rivers and lakes, Lu Zhi is not as far-reaching as Lin Chong; on the professional positioning, Lin Chong is a professional martial artist, and Lu Zhishen's position of "mentioning jurisdiction" is not comparable to Lin Chong. From this point of view, Lin Chong's martial arts seemed to be above Lu Zhishen. Lin Chongqiang is in horse warfare, Lu Zhishen is strong in infantry warfare, if the infantry battle is single-handed, can Lin Chong suppress Lu Zhishen? Yang Zhi has the most say in this question, because he has dealt with Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen.
Lin Chong suppressed Lu Zhishen? Yang Zhi: I've seen enough choking
1. Yang Zhi marches to Lin Chong.
The infantry battle between Yang Zhi and Lin Chong took place at the foot of Liangshan Mountain, and the two used the Park Knife against the Park Knife.
The original book of "Water Margin" is described as follows:
Lin Chong held up the park knife to fight Yang Zhi, coming and going, fighting until thirty, regardless of victory or defeat. The two fought again for ten more, and were fighting to the point of division, only to hear the shouting from the heights: "Two good men, don't fight." The two of them held the simple knife in their hands, but it was Wang Lun, a white-clothed Xiushi.
The battle between Yang Zhi and Lin Chong at the foot of Liangshan mountain is a very wonderful single challenge in the book, and there is also a lot of controversy about this "Lin and Yang" single challenge. The biggest point of controversy lies in the word "division".
Taken literally, "divide" means to divide the winners and losers immediately. However, according to the interpretation in the ancient text, "differentiation" refers to "being glued and difficult to solve". That is to say, when Yang Zhizheng and Lin Chongzheng were fighting each other, Wang Lun came over and stopped the two of them.
After Wang Lun took Yang Zhi and Lin Chong to Liangshan, he had an idea in his mind, and Wang Lun wanted to keep Yang Zhi and Lin Chong at the same time, so that he could use Yang Zhi to balance Lin Chong.
After several glasses of wine, Wang Lun thought in his heart: "If you stay in Lin Chong, you really can't tolerate us, so I might as well be a personal lover, and leave Yang Zhi as an enemy of him." ”
Since Wang Lun wanted to use Yang Zhi to balance Lin Chong, it showed that in his heart, Yang Zhi and Lin Chong's martial arts were not much different.
If at the foot of Liangshan, Lin Chong defeated Yang Zhi and Yang Zhi obviously fell into the inferior position, then Wang Lun would not have this idea of using Yang Zhi to balance Lin Chong. Therefore, the infantry battle is single-handed, Yang Zhi and Lin Chong are not in a position to be compared within 40 rounds.
2, Yang Zhibu battle Lu Zhishen.
Yang Zhi's infantry battle Lu Zhishen occurred at the foot of Erlong Mountain, Yang Zhi originally had no intention of moving, but Lu Zhishen was very defensive, and he opened his mouth and said: "Wu Na Bird, where did you come from?" Yang Zhi felt that the word "bird picking" was very unpleasant, so the two of them ping-ponged and fought. Yang Zhi and Lu Zhishen also played 40 rounds, but after the fight, Shi Nai'an described Yang Zhi's psychology.
The original book of "Water Margin" describes as follows, Yang Zhi and Lu Zhi fought deeply to forty rounds, regardless of victory or defeat. Yang Zhi secretly applauded: "Where is this monk, really good skill, high means!" But I just fought against him! "But I just fought against him", this is Yang Zhi's evaluation of Lu Zhishen. Yang Zhi's words mean that he tried his best to barely support 40 rounds under Lu Zhishen's hands. In other words, Lu Zhishen had already beaten Yang Zhi a little weak in 40 rounds.
Compared with Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen's strength was stronger and his explosive power was also stronger. If the infantry battle is single-handed, Lin Chong is choking enough to suppress Lu Zhishen.
