In "Water Margin", Lin Chong is one of the most well-known liangshan good men. However, in the minds of many readers, Lin Chong is a weak and deceitful look.
You see, in the Yue Temple, Gao Yanei openly flirted with Lin Chong's wife, Lady Lin, in broad daylight, and after Lin Chong recognized Gao Yunei, he "first softened himself", and did not even dare to say a word of cruelty, and could only watch Gao Yanei go out of the temple and get on the horse.
You see, Lu Yuhou plotted to split Lin Chong away, and then tricked Lin Niangzi into Lu Yuhou's house to meet with Gao Yannei, and after Lin Chong knew the truth, he took a wrist-breaking knife to look for Lu Yuhou for a few days, but there was no result, and instead followed Lu Zhishen to the street every day to drink, and the matter was over.
You see, Lin Chong was framed by Gao Li and stabbed cangzhou, on the way, two gongmen pressed Lin Chong's feet into the boiling water, burned his feet, and the next day let him wear new shoes on the road, he also had no choice, knocked out his teeth and swallowed blood.
You see, the two males were plotting to kill Lin Chong in the wild boar forest, but they were stopped by Lu Zhishen. Lu Zhishen wanted to kill the two gongren, but Lin Chong spoke for them and saved their lives.
You see, Gao Li and Gao Yan nei caused Lin Chong's family to break up and die, and later after the good han of Liangshan captured Gao Li, Lin Chong was only "angry and had a seizure color", that's all, there was no following...
However, it is such a figure who is considered weak and deceitful by everyone, but he is called "too fierce" by Jin Shengsi.
Jin Shengsi, the character Ruocai, was a native of Wu County, Suzhou at the beginning of the Qing Dynasty. Jin Shengsi was a famous literary scholar and literary critic of the Ming Dynasty. His wonderful commentaries on books such as "Water Margin", "The Tale of the West Chamber", and "Zuo Biao" have pushed ancient literary and art criticism to a new height. After reading his article, the Shunzhi Emperor said: "This is a master of ancient Literature, and it is not possible to look at him with Shiwen's eyes." ”
When commenting on "Water Margin", Jin Shengsi commented on Lin Chong in this way: "Lin Chong is naturally a superior character, and he is only too fierce to write. Seeing that he can calculate, survive, hold firm, and do it thoroughly, all make people afraid. Such a person in the world, will do a good job, but there are many sharpening vitality. ”
Obviously, in Jin Shengsi's view, Lin Chong is not a weak and deceitful figure, but a "superior figure" who is "too cruel" in his dealings with the world. Why? Jin Shengsi gave his own answer: Lin Chong did "calculate, survive, hold firm, and do it thoroughly."
What does it mean?
Lin Chong was originally a military attaché living within the system, living a life of no worries about food and clothing, husbands and wives. He is humble and arrogant, and his ability to grasp the overall situation is second to none among the good men of Liangshan. He treated the world as a human being, starting with a public heart and less selfishly. This can be seen whether it is the fire on Liangshan and Wang Lun, or the capture of Gao Li. Especially the latter, if it was changed to Li Kui, if it was not good, he would use three axes to cut Gao Qi. But because of this, Lin Chong is Lin Chong and Li Kui is Li Kui.
What is it to survive?
This should be the most incontrovertible. If you put Lin Chong's story in today's place and narrow the environment in which he is located to an enterprise and a unit, then Lin Chong must be a good old man in the enterprise and the unit. Whether you scold him, exclude him, or try to hurt him, he will not tear his face off with you, and still maintain a lump of harmony. I would like to ask everyone who is reading the article, who can do this?
What is a firm grip?
Lin Chong works steadily, never pulls a thin belt, reassures the superiors, reassures colleagues, and makes the subordinates feel at ease. As long as he was entrusted with anything, he would do everything he could to do it beautifully—even if it was to let him send a sword to the White Tiger Hall. This matter changed a person, such as the meticulous Wu Song, And Gao Li's plan may have failed. But only in this way, we can see lin chong's reliability. He does things, we are assured.
What is done thoroughly?
To do things is to do beautifully, to do absolutely, to cut off all thoughts. Lin Chong deserves to be trusted in this regard. In that snow-capped mountain temple, Lin Chong heard the conspiracy of the three people of ChaPu, Lu Yuhou, and Fu'an by mistake, and when he rushed out of the temple to kill them, he had already had the idea of cutting the grass and removing the roots, and quickly put it into practice: kill the three people of Chapu, Lu Yuhou, and Fu'an, "make the hair of the three people into one place, bring them into the temple, and put them on the table in front of the mountain god."
Later, when he was on fire and Wang Lun, Lin Chong did not hesitate in the slightest about Wang Lun, who had once taken him in, and put down a cruel word and killed him directly.
"Calculate, survive, hold firm, and do it thoroughly", there is no shortage of contradictions between these four sentences, but lin chong is vividly expressed. How can such a person not be afraid? Therefore, Jin Shengsi also believes that a figure like Lin Chong, if he really lives in the world, will also make a career. However, when we encounter such a character, do not easily bully and provoke him.
Because you don't know whether you are Lu Yuhou or Gao Li.
