The good men of Liangshan all have their own jianghu nicknames, such as Lin Chong, who is the leader of the forbidden army stick and stick, and his soldiers are as brave as tigers and leopards, so the jianghu people call him "leopard head". Yang Zhi is a descendant of the Yang family general, strong in martial arts, but also because he has a palm-sized brown pigmentation spot on the upper and lower eyelids and cheekbones on the left side of his face, so the Jianghu people call him "blue-faced beast". Lu Zhishen is a monk, but drinking wine, eating meat, and also feelings for Jin Cuilian, coupled with the back spine has a flower embroidery, so people call him "flower monk".
There are 108 good men in Liangshan, 105 are men, and only 3 are female generals. How did the nicknames of the 3 female generals come about, and what is the meaning?
First, Gu Dajie
Gu Dajie's jianghu nickname is the female worm (tigress).
Gu Dajie is a native of Dengzhou and opens a hotel in Dengzhou with her husband Sun Xin. When Lehe, a small cell guarding the prison in Dengzhou, went to Gu Dajie's hotel for dinner, he saw a "thick eyebrow, big eyes, fat face and fat waist" sitting on the cabinet. Insert a strange ring, exposing two arms of the fashionable bracelet "woman."
This woman is Gu Dajie, she is five years old and three thick, and her personality is also very strong, so the jianghu people think that she is a "tigress on the mountain".
Gu Dajie is in Dengzhou and has two cousins who hunt for a living, Xie Zhen and Xie Bao. When they went to beg for the tiger, Mao Taigong did not give it, but instead framed them for "mixing with big insects and robbing property", and was arrested by the government. When Gu Dajie learned of the situation, she was very angry, but she also understood that the government would not seek justice for her two cousins.
In order to save Zhen and Xie Bao, Gu Dajie and her husband Sun Xin consulted and entangled Zou Yuan and Zou Run of Dengyun Mountain, as well as Sun Xin's brothers Sun Li, Le He and others, and together they robbed Dengzhou Prison and rescued Zhi Zhen and Xie Bao. After committing a crime due to prison robbery, Gu Dajie and her husband Sun Xin could not continue to open a hotel in Dengzhou. In order to avoid being arrested by the government, Gu Dajie, Sun Li, Sun Xin and others went to Liangshan together.
After Gu Dajie went to Liangshan, she followed song to the south of the Jiang Dynasty in the northern war and made many meritorious achievements. During the conquest of Fang La, Two of Gu's cousins, Xie Zhen and Xie Bao, died in battle, but she and her husband Sun Xin survived. Gu dajie was made the Prince of Dongyuan County by the imperial court and followed her husband back to Dengzhou.
Second, Sun Erniang
Sun Erniang's nickname is the Mother Night Fork.
Sun Erniang and her husband, Zhang Qing, run a black shop in Mengzhou Cross Slope. Opening a black shop, killing people and crossing goods, selling human meat buns, etc., are all knife edges and blood licking, which requires fierce hands and strong martial arts to do, so Sun Erniang is a woman in the Water Margin who is "murderous with horizontal eyebrows and fierce eyes". She is good at kung fu, quick and neat in movement, and also has a pungent personality, daring to act boldly, and the jianghu people call her "Mother Night Fork".
When Wu Song passed by cross slope, Sun Erniang also wanted to turn over his medicine and robbed Wu Song of his belongings, but was detected by Wu Song. Wu Song pretended to faint and took the opportunity to clean up Sun Erniang. Sun Erniang's husband, Zhang Qing, heard his wife's screams, ran in, and repeatedly pleaded with Wu Song before letting him release Sun Erniang. Don't fight and don't know each other, because this fight has made Wu Song and Sun Erniang and his wife form a deep friendship.
Wu Song was guilty of killing Jiang Menshen and others, and the local governments wanted him. To this end, Sun Erniang and his wife persuaded him to go to Erlong Mountain to defect to Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi. Soon after, because Wu Song went up Erlong Mountain, Sun Erniang and her husband Zhang Qing, shi En also went up Erlong Mountain.
Later, Hu Yanzhuo led his troops to conquest Peach Blossom Mountain, White Tiger Mountain, and Erlong Mountain, and they received help from Liangshan, so they joined Liangshan together. After Sun Erniang followed Lu Zhishen, Wu Song and others to Liangshan, she became a female general of Liangshan. Sun Erniang made great achievements in Liangshan's southern conquest of the northern war, but she and her husband Zhang Qing had a very unfortunate ending, and when they conquered Fang La for the imperial court, both of them died in battle.
Third, the third lady
Hu San Niang is nicknamed Yi Zhangqing (一丈青).
In ancient times, "Yizhang" was a unit of length, and "blue" refers to color, which can refer to three colors: blue, green, and black. Why the third lady is called "Yizhangqing" has always been controversial. The first is the height of the word, referring to the "yizhangqing" is to describe the height of the third lady. In ancient times, Ichijo was about 3.3 meters today. It is impossible for the third lady to be three meters tall, so the "height theory" cannot withstand scrutiny.
The second is the turban said. The third lady wears a long turban on her head, but the women of the Song Dynasty did not have the habit of wrapping a super long turban on their heads. If the third lady is particularly unique and has this special dress, it will also be described in the original work, but there is no mention of it in the novel, so this statement is not convincing. The third is tattoos, which refers to the fact that the third lady has a blue-black tattoo in the shape of a snake or a dragon, so it is called "Yizhang Qing". For example, Shi Jin, because he has nine green dragons tattooed on his body, people call him "Nine Dragons".
There is no mention in the original work that the third lady has a tattoo. At the same time, Hu Sanniang is a big bridesmaid who has not yet come out of the cabinet, and it is unlikely that she will have tattoos on her body.
There are also weapons, hair, poisonous tongues, hair ornaments and other statements, which are actually not very reliable, so people still argue endlessly.
Hu Sanniang is a lady of a large family and has a happy life, but after meeting Liangshan, her bad luck begins. Liangshan sent troops to attack Zhujiazhuang. Zhu Biao of Zhujiazhuang is the fiancé of The Third Lady, so she takes someone to help Zhu Jiazhuang, but she is defeated by Lin And captured.
After Hu Sanniang was captured, Zhujiazhuang was destroyed by Liangshan, and dozens of people in Hujiazhuang were also killed by Li Kui. This made her lose both her mother's family and her husband's family, and she had no choice but to obey Song Jiang's arrangement and marry Wang Ying, a defeated general who was short, ugly, and greedy for money. Wang Ying's sweet mouth will coax people, and after the two get married, they still have feelings. During the conquest of Fang La, both died at the hands of Zheng Biao.
