Taste "Water Margin", look at the good men of Liangshan, and don't pay attention to their nicknames, it is impossible. Because the Water Margin is good, almost every good man has the nickname of the river and lake, which makes people grasp its main characteristics at once and play a role in finishing touches.
Even for individual heavyweight good men, corresponding technical treatment has been made in the nickname. For example, everyone wonders, why does Song Jiang have three nicknames, one xiaoyi heisanlang, one timely rain, and one Hu Baoyi? In fact, this shows that Song Jiang is changeable and complex, using these three nicknames to show his faces at different stages.
The so-called "Filial Piety Kurosaburo" is the face of him when he was a small official in Yuncheng County, facing normal society. The nickname "timely rain" is mainly used in the face of "rivers and lakes". As for "Hu Baoyi", it was given to him by Song Jiang when he was ranked in Liangshan, and appeared on the Heavenly Stone Pillar. This is even simpler, nothing more than to show your attitude to the imperial court.
There is also Wu Song, who did not officially have the jianghu nickname until he put on the headband: Walker, why is this? In fact, his situation is the same as Lu Zhishen, since he has the nickname of jianghu, it is equivalent to saying goodbye to the past and officially stepping into the jianghu. It's just that Wu Song was forced by Pan Jinlian, Zhang Dujian and others.
Lu Zhishen was killed by his friend Lin Chongkeng - after the wild boar forest, Lu Zhishen returned to Xiangguo Temple and wanted to continue to be a monk of the Eight Classics of Zheng'er. However, Lin Chong revealed to Dong Chao Xue Ba that his identity information was arrested by the government, and he had to flee to the jianghu and occupy Erlong Mountain with Yang Zhi.
The nickname "Flower Monk" was reported by himself for the first time after fighting with Yang Zhi, which was equal to Lu Zhishen's approval, the original text was: People see that there are flower embroideries on the back of the Shang family, and they are called Lu Zhishen, a flower monk. (From "Water Margin")
Before that, even when Lu Zhishen and Lin Chong met, they still called themselves the Shang family, and they didn't recognize the "flower monk" at all. This actually shows that whether it is Lu Zhishen or Wu Song, these two brothers do not want to intervene in the jianghu in essence, but they eventually have to enter.
Therefore, looking at the Water Margin, Pin Jianghu, it is best to pay more attention to these jianghu nicknames, and a lot of information can be revealed from it. Some good men, nicknames are the reaction of his life state. For example, the Dragon of the Clouds, the Walker, the Desperate Sanlang, Xiao Li Guang, and so on.
However, there are also a few nicknames for good men, and they are still heavyweight, but they are like a joke, giving people a feeling of "nominal and unreal", just like the following three nicknames.
First, the head of a leopard that can cry and fly
Lin Chong is a well-known good man in the Shuihu Rivers and Lakes. Some people even said: Without Forest Chong, there is no Water Margin. If you think about it, there is really nothing wrong with it, if there is no Lin ChongHuo and Wang Lun, Chao Gai, Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng and other seven good men, how can they occupy Liangshan?
And if Chao Gai and the other seven people did not occupy Liangshan, Song Jiang would not have been discovered by Yan Poxi because of Chao Gai's letters, and killed them in anger, and finally in the stage of escape, it caused turmoil in the rivers and lakes, Qin Ming, Hua Rong, Qingfeng Mountain Sankou, the two young men of Yingshan, and so on, a large wave of good men were personally sent to Liangshan by him.
So what is Lin Chong's nickname? Called leopard head. Why the nickname? The explanation of "Water Margin" is that Lin Chong is "eight feet long, leopard head rings eyes, swallow jaw tiger whiskers", so people give him the nickname "leopard head".
Looking at Lin Chong's appearance, does it suddenly remind people of Zhang Fei, the fierce general of the Three Kingdoms? Yes, Lin Chong is equivalent to Zhang Fei's cloned version, even the weapon is the Zhangba Snake Spear, in the Water Margin River, alias: Xiao Zhang Fei!
Therefore, the nickname of leopard head shows that Lin Chong seems to be like Zhang Fei, brave and violent, life and death are indifferent, and he will do it if he does not obey! But the fact is that Lin Chong has become synonymous with "nest bags". I don't believe it, who is the most nestled on Liangshan? The vast majority of people will blurt out: Lin Chong!
The wife was teased by Takahata, and he endured! Pit by his friend Lu Qian, he carried a knife and turned around the street looking for Lu Qian. Looking at the momentum, it is actually all bluff. I don't believe how to take revenge on Wu Song? Hiding the knife, he found the key figure He Jiu Uncle and got the key evidence in one fell swoop.
Look at Lin Chong's gap is too big! Why were Gao Yannei, Lu Qian, and others not afraid, but continued to increase their weight, pulling Gao Qi into the game and completely disabling Lin Chong? Lin Chong's superficial article proves that the heart is afraid, since you are afraid, do we still need to be afraid?
Dare to ask, will those things of Lin Chong happen to Third Master Zhang? Absolutely impossible - the so-called Ning Yao Guan Yu, don't mess with Zhang Fei! Although Guan Yu is proud, he speaks of decency, but Third Master Zhang does not have a situation of revenge, he has always let others avenge! Therefore, the so-called "leopard head" is a nickname that can make Zhang Sanye cry directly, which is in name only, and it is completely opposite to Lin Chong's fate.
The most inexplicable thing is the ending of Lin Chong, "Water Margin" says that Lin Chong fell ill, recuperated in Liuhe Temple, took care of by Wu Song, and later "died in half a year" (from "Water Margin"). But after Song Jiang returned to Beijing, he told the emperor: Lin Chong had died of illness!
It should be noted that from the time Song Jiang left until he returned to The Beijing Division, the exact time is given: on August 15, Lu Zhi died deeply, Song Jiang was "returned to Tokyo after September 20" (from "Water Margin"), Lin Chong died in half a load - since August 15, at least the next year, is this time right? Therefore, Lin Chong even had an evil ending, very inexplicable!
Second, a small whirlwind that walks with the wind and rain of the Song River
Chai Jin is the most special good man in the Shuihu River, and The descendant of Chai Rong of Zhou Shizong has a death-free iron coupon. The nickname "Little Whirlwind" means? The most classic explanation comes from Kim Sung-si, who said that a whirlwind is a bad wind. However, the author believes that the small whirlwind should respond to the black whirlwind (Li Kui), because both of them point to Song Jiang.
Isn't Song Jiang called timely rain? And there is an old Chinese saying: wind and rain walk together (heart). Also, there is no wind and no waves, and so on. Therefore, when the rain and Song Jiang fled in time, first look for a small whirlwind Chai Jin. This means that the wind and rain of the Water Margin River and Lake are coming! Then Jiangzhou collected the black whirlwind, and this nature became the formation of a "jianghu storm".
From the interpretation of the nickname of The Little Whirlwind, it is obvious that Chai Jin seems to be one with Song Jiang, the so-called wind and rain (heart). However, the fact is that Chai Jin, instead of sharing the same heart and walking with Song Jiang, has become Song Jiang's most troublesome opponent, and even openly harmed Song Jiang.
When Song Jiang ran to Zhao'an, Chai Jin carried a sharp blade, entered Song Huizong's study, scraped off the four words "Shandong Song Jiang", and dared to ask, If you are the emperor, will you hate Song Jiang? You have come in this place of the study, my head, do you also want to take it? What about Song Jiang? He could only pretend to be confused, and after returning to Liangshan, he gave Yan Qing the matter of running Zhao'an.
Therefore, in the Water Margin River and Lake, the small whirlwind and the timely rain have actually become enemies, which is not a name or a reality? The reason why "Water Margin" uses such a nickname to imply is probably to tell us: the open and dark struggles on Liangshan are no less than anywhere, or even more ferocious, don't believe the jianghu righteousness on those lips.
As for the final ending of Chai Jin, it looks like a comedy, and after returning from the conquest of Fang La, Chai Jin resigned and went back to the countryside to work as a farmer. But then, what kind of ghost is this "sudden day, no disease" (from "Water Margin") ? If you don't know that Song Jiang is a person who died of poisoned wine, will you also think that Song Jiang is also "a day and a crane to return to the west"?
An inexplicable stroke revealed the inexplicable ending of Chai Jin, anyway, the author does not believe, "suddenly a day, say go away" behind, there is no hidden mystery. Chai Jin's identity as a descendant of the emperors of the former dynasty doomed him not to be, jumping out of the Three Realms and not in the Five Elements of "Lu Zhishen".
Third, the auspicious jade unicorn
Lu Junyi was the second head of Liangshan and was nicknamed Jade Qilin (玉麒麟). So what does this nickname mean? There are roughly three meanings. The first is to represent the omen of auspiciousness, and the other is the Qilin Er, the so-called noble son of the Qilin Er, and the offspring have a chance. Third, it is the name of a plant.
Obviously, the jade qilin in the Water Margin River and Lake can only be this interpretation of the auspicious omen. This seems to explain why Song Jiang had to die begging Bai Lai and tricking Lu Junyi into going to Liangshan, and for this reason, he did not hesitate to cause Lu Junyi's family to be destroyed, and his head was green.
Sure enough, for Song Jiang to speak, it was an incomparable thing for Xiangrui, Lu Junyi's such a big family business, all at once gave Liangshan chonggong, and Lu Junyi's martial arts were also very powerful, enhancing Liangshan's combat strength, the most important thing was to let Song Jiang easily unveil the seal of Chao Gai's last words. The so-called Lu Junyi went up the mountain, and Song Jiang got Triple Xiangrui.
But the problem was that the auspicious omen of the Jade Qilin was cruel to Lu Junyi and the Daimyo, and even represented a great disaster. In order to get "Xiangrui", Song Jiang attacked the Daming Mansion and "killed half the people of the city" (from the "Water Margin"), what is the explanation?
Therefore, the nickname of Jade Qilin belongs to the nameless, which is completely opposite to its meaning and fate. And the most inexplicable thing is Lu Junyi's ending, drinking mercury and falling into the river and dying.
The author wondered, how could something like mercury be mixed into the wine? It is important to note that liquid mercury is dense and will recondensul when placed in wine. And the taste is also very stimulating. Therefore, Lu Junyi drank mercury and fell into the river and died, which was simply inexplicable.
I'm afraid that falling into the river is the focus. Because Lu Junyi did not know water at all, after he went up to Liangshan to single out eight good men, he was tricked into the water and captured by Zhang Shunsheng. The so-called where you fall, where you die - this jade qilin Oh, Xiangrui did not see it at all, but became a tragedy.
