Yang Jiaofeng on Water Margin Series Article No. 73:
Song Jiang's inscription of anti-poetry in Xunyang Lou is a small climax in "Water Margin", and also indicates the process of a change in the heart of the future Liangshan boss.
However, some people also wondered, since Song Jiang had such lofty ambitions and regarded Huang Chao as his goal, why did he not stay in Liangshan in the first place, and did not run to Jiangzhou to serve his sentence?
Since you are willing to be punished, why don't you make a good transformation, do you have to run to xunyang upstairs to write an anti-poem, fall into reality, and force yourself into a desperate situation?
What is even more difficult to understand is that it is obviously a mistake made by himself, why did he scold the whistleblower Huang Wenbing as a villain, and also said that he was framed by Huang Wenbing and wanted revenge?
Yang Jiaofeng on water margin series article No. 73: Song Jiang's anti-poetry is in the front, Huang Wenbing's report is in the back, why is the anti-scolding whistleblower a despicable villain?
One
First of all, let's first understand why Song Jiang ran upstairs in Xunyang alone to drink and wrote a controversial poem.
After reading "Water Margin" many times, we will find that Song Jiang, a person, likes to communicate with people, and in today's words, it is called social bullfork disease. He is not the same as Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Yang Zhi, those are famous otaku, who have always liked to be alone. Fortunately, they were born in ancient times, and if they were to change to the present, they would definitely belong to the kind that did not go out at home.
Therefore, Song Jiang is calling friends everywhere, and he does not go out for a day to shop, he is overwhelmed. If this were not the case, when I had to go to the lanterns in Qingfeng Village, I would not have provoked right and wrong for no reason, and La Huarong would have dismounted.
When he arrived at the ground in Jiangzhou, he was just as restless, looking for Dai Zong and Li Kui to drink and play for three days. Because once he ate too much fish, vomited up and down diarrhea, and was held in the barracks for several days to recuperate, Dai Zong, Li Kui, Zhang Shun, also came to see him for three days.
As a result, on this day, no one came to see him, and he himself felt that he was well, and he couldn't stay idle, so he had to go to someone to play. Unfortunately, Dai Zong was not at home, Li Kui was not at home, and Zhang Shun was not in the city, so Song Jiang went farther and farther away and walked out of Jiangzhou City.
Song Jiang himself likes to play, out of the city has not found a partner, he found a restaurant, that is, Xunyang Lou, this time he can not move his feet:
"Although I am here alone, I can't miss it, so why not go upstairs and watch it for myself."
This look is not tight, more and more touching the scene hurt, plus a few glasses of wine under the belly, think of their thirties, nothing, wandering here, want to find a friend to drink together can not find ... ...
Two
When Song Jiang was in Jiangzhou, he had no objections, and he did not suffer any unfair treatment, and this was the path he chose himself.
Although it is also a little depressed, but the army also has a way out, like Yang Zhi stabbed after encountering Liang Zhongshu, Wu Song stabbed after encountering Shi En's father and son, and even Song Jiang himself did not meet Dai Zong after stabbing.
But in that era, if Song Jiang wanted to achieve a certain degree of self-satisfaction, there were actually two evaluation criteria there. One is the right way, the other is the jianghu, in the official arena, he is basically to the end, from a small escort, to the current army. In the jianghu, his status is so high that everyone is welcome, and this huge contrast will also change his identification with himself.
In fact, he had already suffered from this kind of status gap before, originally the Great Song Wasiend the world, and he thought that even if he could not be reinstated as an official, then the matter of his killing of Yan PoXi could be turned over. Unfortunately, no, others pardoned him, but he did not, and was stabbed to Jiangzhou.
If someone next to you is good, but Song Jiang alone in the Xunyang Building to drink alcohol, after drinking too much, always want to talk, this is also the common sentiment of people, why many people drink a lot of words, is this reason:
"I didn't feel the wine pouring in, and I burst into tears. The wind is blowing, and the feelings of resentment are sad. Suddenly, he made a song "Xi Jiang Yue" in tone, so he called the bartender and asked for a pen. ”
A man who drinks alcohol, only to have a sad piece of music in his mind, getting louder and louder, which prompts him to have to say something.
Since it is to express emotions, then find a pen, ink and paper, write it and take it away directly, why not write on the wall?
Three
Regarding Song Jiang's intention to write a poem, in fact, the book also says that it is not really to oppose, it is indeed to encourage yourself, to motivate yourself, and not to sink into it:
"Why not just write about it here?" If he is blessed with glory, he will pass by again, and see it again, so as to remember the years and think about today's suffering. ”
So is Song Jiang's poem anti-poetry?
This has to mention a famous saying said to Li Xuan by the great eunuch Yang Jinshui in "Daming Dynasty 1566":
"Some things are not weighed in four or two, but to be weighed, a thousand pounds cannot be beaten!"
This completely depends on what others think, if you have to interpret it in the "opposite", even if Song Jiang has a hundred mouths, he can't say it clearly. After all, the standard of judgment is not in him, but in the hands of those who have the power to judge him, and what he thinks is what sin he is.
In fact, if the poem written by Song Jiang is viewed from another perspective, it is nothing more than expressing emotions, venting emotions, and exposing his ambition and murderous heart, the poem is as follows:
"The heart is in Shandong, the body is in Wu, and the Floating Pengjiang River is whispering. When he was ling yunzhi, he dared to laugh at Huang Chao's husband! ”
And this kind of ambition and ambition of his, although it has always been haunting in his heart, if it were not for drinking wine, Song Jiang would not easily confide.
If you change others to see this poem, it is estimated that there will be two results, one is to admire him, although he is a matching army, but his ambitions are high and worthy of encouragement. One kind of it is ridicule, you look at you Song Jiang, but a matching army, but also want to lingyun ambition, really whimsical, self-imposed, arrogant.
But no matter what kind of result, everyone will also laugh, there will be no serious consequences, but Song Jiang met Huang Wenbing.
Four
In fact, the so-called anti-poetry similar to the Song Jiang title has been similar in history.
For example, Li Shangyin's "Jia Sheng":
"The Xuanfu asked for a visit to the courtiers, and Jia Sheng was even more ruthless. Poor night half empty front seat, do not ask the heavens to ask the ghosts and gods. ”
This is not a satire on Emperor Wen of Han for not asking about state affairs, every day to engage in ghosts and gods, if you encounter a villain to give a forced explanation, enough for Li Shangyin to eat a pot.
There is also Chen Ziang's "Dengyouzhou Tai Song":
"I don't see the ancients before, and I don't see the comers after me." Thinking of heaven and earth, alone but weeping. ”
If you have to delve deeply, this poem is saying that you can't see the Mingjun who recruited talents in the past, and you can't see the Mingjun who is seeking talents in the future. In the final analysis, this is not a satire on the fact that the saint is a dimwit today, fortunately, I did not meet the villain, and if I did, we would not see this poem.
There is also Li Qingzhao's "Summer Sentence":
"Born as a master, dead as a ghost." Still thinking about Xiang Yu, he refused to cross Jiangdong. ”
This poem is a satire on the southern Song Dynasty court, in the face of the Jin Kingdom blindly fleeing south, even Xiang Yu is not as good! Although Xiang Yu is said to be the overlord, but for the Han court, it must also be classified as a "Chu thief", what do you Li Qingzhao miss him?
But there are exceptions, sometimes it is not the meaning of this, hard to a thousand pounds on the set, this is going to die. For example, if you interpret "Water Margin" is wrong, 108 will be a court offender, no matter which one you exaggerate, or analyze which, is guilty.
Yes, you have written all written, is you at fault first, you can also blame me for reporting, you can also blame me for taking the reward, to know that the Internet has a memory, to think that people do not know unless they do nothing!
It seems to make sense, but it is extremely frightening to think about it, just like the old lady who fell to the ground, it is not okay, first blackmail you, anyway, there is no punishment for failure.
Five
In fact, although Song Jiang's poem is not completely anti-poetry, it is also full of violence, which is problematic, and it should be discussed as a crime, such as this sentence:
"If he has to avenge his wrongs in his old age, his blood will stain the mouth of the Xunyang River."
Although after reading the entire "Water Margin", I also know that the entire Liangshan 108 generals, the last person to want to rebel is Song Jiang. But after all, he was the reincarnation of the Heavenly Kui Star, the head of the Murderous Demon King, although he also talked about benevolence, but he was more of a murderous desire. Moreover, we look at this matter from the perspective of God, and Huang Wenbing does not have the perspective of God, who knows if you will do it.
Even if it is now, you run to the wall of the airport and write a line, saying that you want to wash the airport in blood, and see if you will be caught and monitored, right?
In fact, from ancient times to the present, some words really cannot be said indiscriminately, even if it is writing poetry, it should be paid attention to. Not to mention that Song Jiang is such a supporting army, even if it is a university scholar Su Shi, because he questioned Song Shenzong's new policies, he made a "Wutai poetry case". If it were not for Wang Anshi and others pleading bitterly, Su Shi would not have been able to save his life, but he would also be demoted to a local position.
Song Jiang is really fierce, don't look at him when he faces a cruel person, he will also be scared to fart and urinate, but once he laughs and laughs, it is often accompanied by killing, such as when he summons Qin Ming, but kills a lot of innocent people.
Because he has this fierceness in his bones, he will lose his words after drinking and write this controversial poem, but this poem is indeed problematic.
What's more, Song Jiang completely completed this in a drunken state, completely unaware afterwards:
"I opened the door, fell on the bed, and slept until five. When he woke up drunk, he didn't remember the section on the inscription of a poem on the Xunyang River Tower yesterday. ”
Six
In any case, Song Jiang's title "anti-poetry" is in the front, and it is used by people with hearts in the back, and it is also impossible to complain about others, who lets themselves be greedy for alcohol and misbehave.
Since there is indeed something wrong with Song Jiang's poem, why did he in turn scold the whistleblower Huang Wenbing as a despicable villain?
The problem is also very simple, such as you have made inappropriate remarks on the Internet and been reported. At the slightest, delete your post and ban, and detain you for a few days, and this punishment is almost the same.
In the Great Song Dynasty, there is also a law, even if the Song Jiang inscription is indeed anti-poetry, it will not be sinned to death, the Great Song Law:
"The mouths that want to say the opposite, the heart has no real plan, and the one who has nothing to find, flows for two thousand miles... If there is a verbal desire to rebel, and there is no truth in the investigation, the law has no regulation, and each should never be important. ”
Song Jiang did write a poem, but in practice there was no intention of rebellion, and now he has no conditions for rebellion. According to the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, at most dozens of boards were beaten and exiled.
Even if he had already been assigned to the army, adding to the crime was just a matter of playing more boards and squatting in prison for one more year.
But if this is the case, for Huang Wenbing, his purpose will not be achieved, you must know that at this time he is not a good person, and he is trying to please the prefect of Cai Jiu, and wants to promote the official and get rich:
"Although this man reads the Scriptures, he is a slanderous disciple, and his heart is narrow, as long as he is jealous of the virtuous... He often crossed the river to visit the prefect, expecting him to introduce him to a post and then become an official.
Just reporting an arrogant person is obviously not a merit, and if you report a rebel, the nature is different.
Seven
Originally, it was just a crime of Song Jiangkou's wild speech, malicious remarks, and adverse social impact, but Huang Wenbing relied on his three-inch tongue to pull him to the "crime of treason".
After Huang Wenbing told Cai Jiu's prefect, Cai Prefect was improper, and did not take Song Jiang in his eyes at all:
"Measure this army, what to do!"
But in this way, it could not meet Huang Wenbing's expectations, so his eyes rolled and he had to associate this matter with Si Tianjian's celestial anomaly and folk rumors.
Si Tianjian found that the celestial phenomenon was abnormal, which was a sign that someone was going to cause trouble:
"The stars shine on the land where Wu and Chu divide the wilderness."
Folk nursery rhymes are:
"Consume the country because of the wood, the knife soldier points the water worker." Thirty-six vertical and horizontal, sowing chaos in Shandong. ”
After Huang Wenbing's explanation, the consumption of the country became the word "Song" because of the family wood, the sword soldier pointed the water worker, became the word "Jiang", plus the Song River was a native of Yuncheng County, just in Shandong, which is not to imply that Song Jiang either plotted rebellion at the age of six or sixty-six, or rebelled in the year of six or six, and so on.
What does this move look like?
It's like, you work in a large company, you are depressed, you drink too much one day, and you post a message on the forum saying that one day you become the boss and kill the company first.
As a result, I was idle to visit the forum, and I was trying to find a way to get close to the boss, and immediately added oil and vinegar to report to you that the boss had gone. The key is that this boss is still superstitious, just a few days ago, just a fortune teller, said to avoid people with certain characteristics, the result of this person pinched his fingers, this is not what this person is talking about.
So you were not only expelled, but also inexplicably imprisoned for a few days for the crime of leaking trade secrets.
Eight
In fact, it was precisely because they knew that Song Jiang did not rebel that they would be so unscrupulous in rectifying him, and if Song Jiang really rebelled, they would not dare!
For example, Lin Chong, the reason why others have framed him again and again is because they know that Lin Chong will not be impulsive, and if Lin Chong is threatening at the beginning, they will not dare.
The same principle applies to Wu Song, if Wu Song showed anti-intentions at the beginning, as well as a cruel side, Zhang Dujian naturally did not dare to frame him in this way.
Similarly, when the later Liang Zhongshu suspected that Lu Junyi had fallen into Liangshan, he straightened him out quite badly:
"The left and right gongren tied Lu Junyi to the ground, and without saying a word, beat him to the skin and flesh, and the blood burst out, and he fainted three or four times."
When Liangshan was really angry, he posted a headless notice, mentioning that Lu Junyi was Liangshan's person, and any of you who wanted to move him should be careful when you slept at night.
At this point, even Liang Zhongshu was frightened:
"Liang Zhongshu read it, and he was frightened and scattered."
He began to serve Lu Junyi with good wine and good meat again, afraid that Liangshan would really come to take revenge on himself, obviously without the arrogance he had before!
It is precisely because Huang Wenbing has no official position that he will wander the streets, looking for opportunities to rise to the ranks and get rich, and the book also mentions that Song Jiang should be unlucky:
"It was also Song Jiang's fate that he suffered and bumped into this opponent."
Later, Song Jiang also wanted to pretend to be crazy and stupid to pass the pass, and it was also this Huang Wenbing who clung to it:
Hugh believed it. The poems I have written, the handwriting I have written, are not people with rheumatism, there are deceptions in them. The good guy just takes it. He can't walk, and he carries the future. ”
Nine
In order to force Song Jiang to confess, Huang Wenbing also threw Cai Jiu's prefect to use a large punishment, after all, Song Jiang did not have to work hard, and he could not bear it for a while:
"Since drinking at the time of disagreement, I have written anti-poetry by mistake, and I have no other idea."
The reason why Huang Wenbing did this was to ask for credit, and it was also what he personally said to the prefect of Cai Jiu:
"It is not too late to be fair to do so. He had no choice but to hurry to repair a letter, so he sent someone to the Beijing Division on the night of the stars, and reported to the Zunfu Enxiang that he knew, which seemed to be a fair and important state affair. ”
Including later, Daizong made a fake reply letter, which was also recognized by Huang Wenbing, and also implicated Daizong, saying that the two of them were in collusion with the Liangshan thief Kou.
Unfortunately, Huang Wenbing did not expect that Song Jiang and Dai Zong did collude with Liangshan, and the Liangshan army was menacing, even if there were five or six thousand troops in the city, they could not withstand the impact of more than a hundred people:
"One hundred and forty or fifty people, shouting in unison, slaughtered ben on the shore of Jiangzhou. There are sub-teachings: on the shore of Xunyang, the blood is indeed stained red; on the side of the Xiangpu River, the corpses are like mountains. ”
Even so, Song Jiang was still not satisfied, and despite the drawbacks of The shortage of personnel in Liangshan, he asked Chao Gai to kill him in the city:
"I only hate Huang Wenbing, who made something out of nothing, and want to harm us, how can this revenge not be repaid!" How to ask all the good men, and then be a heavenly person, to fight the Wuwei Army, to kill Huang Wenbing, and also to eliminate this endless hatred with Song Jiang. How about going back then? ”
In short, later Song Jiang not only sent people to kill Huang Wenbing's family, but also captured Huang Wenbing alive and let Li Kui cut him alive:
"Then he cut the sharp knife from his leg first, and the one he picked up was burned on the charcoal fire and drank wine." Cut a piece, burn a piece, and when there is no piece, cut Huang Wenbing. Li Kuifang cut open his chest with the knife, took out his heart and liver, and made a soup with the leaders. ”
From this, we can see that when others force you to button the hat, you are best, there is really this hat. It's like saying that a certain country has weapons of mass destruction, you, you better have them, otherwise, you will not be far from death.
However, it is also sad to think about it, the mighty Liangshan Army is invincible, everyone is afraid of Song Jiang, and when he really recruits, he is solved by a cup of poisonous wine.
Finally, why is It said that Huang Wenbing is a villain?
In fact, the reason is here, some things, not weighed four or two, once weighed a thousand pounds can not be stopped. But the question is, a lot of things, that is, four or two, you have to make a thousand pounds?
Just like some people report the violence of "Pleasant Goat and Gray Wolf", how can wolves want to eat sheep every day and harm children; report the bald head in "Bear Haunting" to cut down trees, how can trees be cut down indiscriminately, and the forest must not be protected; report "Sailor Moon" Hair dyed colorful, will bring bad children...
It seems reasonable and reasonable, and it can also say a certain truth, but in the long run, once people's selfish intentions are mixed in, everything is reported, which can be described as everyone endangering themselves, and the country and the people are harmed.
After all, sometimes life is not satisfied, scold two words God to vent, will not be shot, right?
My name is Yang Jiaofeng, look at the Water Margin from another perspective, you will find different fun, like it, please pay attention to it!
