In "Water Margin", Wu Song is a very prominent character, which not only refers to his own martial arts, but also refers to his weight in the water margin story, his personality is very clear, and his heroism is also very touching.
Wu Song appeared at the Cangzhou Chai Daguanren. At that time, because he had committed a crime, he fled to the Chai Official's place to hide, and had been living for quite a while. After Song Jiang killed Yan Poxi, he and his brother Song Qing hid with Chai Daguanren, where they met Wu Song. During the banquet hosted by Chai Jin, Song Jiang went to the hut to avoid wine. At that time, Wu Song was roasting a fire in the corridor, and he was suffering from malaria and his whole body was cold. Song Jiang accidentally stepped on the handle, which frightened Wu Song. Wu Song was about to get angry, when chai officials rushed to the scene and inadvertently called out to Song Zhaosi in the persuasion, and Wu Song found that the person he wanted to beat was Song Jiang, who was very respected by Yuncheng County, and immediately changed his attitude, hurriedly gave gifts, and told him about the good luck. Then, chai officials let them go to drink together, and Wu Song and Song Jiang talked happily, and that night, Song Jiang deliberately let Wu Song sleep with him. When Wu Song came, Chai Daguanren was very enthusiastic about him, and later because Wu Song was irritable and wanted to beat people at every turn, so Hezhuang old and young did not like him, and some people continued to reflect to Chai Daguan that Wu Song's was not, and although Chai Daguan continued to treat him with courtesy, he was also a little slow to treat Wu Song. Song Jiang arrived and was so good to Wu Song that wu song felt warm.
Wu Song is a native of Qinghe County, his parents died since childhood, and it was his brother Wu Dalang who pulled him up. After escaping, Wu Song never heard from his brother, and now he knows that the person he hit at that time was not dead, and he passed out and came back to life, so he Wu Song did not have to hide in Tibet all day. He wanted to go back to Qinghe to see his brother Wu Dalang. When he left, Chai Jin arranged a send-off banquet for him and gave him some silver. After chai officials stayed behind, Song Jiang and Song Qing had to send another ride. They came to a hotel. While drinking and saying goodbye, Wu Song felt the depth of Song Jiang's righteousness and married Jinlan with his righteousness. Song Jiang gave Wu Song ten pieces of silver, but Wu Song refused and had to accept it.
Wu Song left Cangzhou, Xiaoxing stayed overnight, and within a few days, he came to Jingyang Gang. The "Water Margin" says that Jingyang Gang belongs to the Yang Valley ground. Some scholars pointed out that this is a geographical error. Cangzhou is in the northeast of the Qing River, yang valley is south of the qing river, from Cangzhou back to the Qing river, in any case can not go to the Yang Valley of Jingyang Gang. Some people believe that this Qinghe River is the Nanqing River near Huai'an, Jiangsu Province. From Cangzhou back to the Nanqing River, you can pass through yanggu. But this argument does not hold water. Because of the county of Nanqinghe, it was not there during the Northern Song Dynasty. The Qinghe River in Hebei has existed for a long time. Most importantly, as written in the Water Margin, Yanggu and Qinghe are close at hand, and it must be next to each other. The Nanqing River, which is far away in northern Jiangsu, is much farther away from Yanggu.
Now let's go back to the story. Wu Song walked and saw a hotel with a wine flag that read: "Three bowls but not a gang." When he entered the shop, the shopkeeper brought him a pair of chopsticks and three bowls, and Wu Song asked for some beef. Wu Song drank a bowl, and the shopkeeper poured a bowl. Wu Song drank it, feeling that this wine was indeed good. The shopkeeper boasted to him: This wine is called to pour out of the door, the bottle is fragrant, and the wine is very powerful. Drink here, Wu Song still wants to drink, the store is not dry, said, you did not see the wine guise written on the "three bowls but not gang" well! This wine is too powerful, the average person drinks three bowls, will be drunk, so no one has ever exceeded three bowls. Wu Song didn't care about this set and had to continue drinking. The shopkeeper couldn't do anything, so he poured him three more bowls. Unexpectedly, Wu Song still wanted to drink, the store blocked the bar, Wu Song said: "I don't owe you money, where there is a reason why wine is not sold"! The shopkeeper poured him another drink. In this way, round after round, eighteen bowls of wine were drunk in a row.
Wu Song resisted the luggage, took the whistle stick and was about to leave, the shopkeeper quickly came to stop it, saying: "The guest officer does not know, there is a golden-eyed worm on this Jingyang Gang, which has injured countless people." Usually, guests pass by, but also in groups of three or five in the daytime, now it is late, you are alone again, you can't go." Wu Song thought that the shopkeeper had deceived him, and thought to himself, the shopkeeper wanted to scare me into not leaving, living here, he wanted to increase his income. Therefore, he did not listen to the advice at all, and simply left. After walking a few miles, I saw a large tree in front of Oka with a shaved bark and writing on it, which was the same as what the store said. At this time, Wu Song was half-convinced and took advantage of the wine to continue to move forward. In front of the temple saw a mountain temple, in front of the temple there is a notice from Yanggu County, saying that the big insect hurts people, please be careful with pedestrians, do not cross the gang at will. At this time, Wu Song believed that the store's words were true, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He is very contradictory, do not return, this road ahead is indeed dangerous. Go back, afraid that people will laugh at you, and just now you are still doing it there. The hero is a hero, Wu Song thought about it, and finally chose to go alone, thinking that it might not be so coincidental to meet a tiger.
At this time, it was already night, the moonlight was at the head, Wu Song walked for a ride, the wine came up, and he was still a little sleepy, so he lay down on a rock and rested. Later, when the tiger really came, Wu Song suddenly got up and faced the tiger. When I listened to the story of Wu Song fighting the tiger, when I was in middle school, the teacher told it vividly, and we could listen to it. The deepest memory is that the teacher talked about Wu Song's three moves against tigers. The tiger first pounced, and Wu Song dodged backwards and dodged. The tiger then leaned back, and Wu Song dodged to the side. The tiger used a third move, cutting with a long tail, and Wu Song dodged it again. These three tricks, the author wrote very wonderfully, said that Mr. Sun Zhenye of Shandong Kuaishu spoke, the voice shape appeared. Some people guess that at that time, there was no zoo, and the author of "Water Margin" may not have had the opportunity to see the scene of tiger fighting, and the action of the tiger pouncing on Wusong is likely to have observed the cat written, and the cat is roughly the same three moves. Of course, it is also said that it was observed from dogs.
The tiger's three moves did not work, so he turned back to the same place and launched a second round of attacks. Just as the tiger was about to pounce for the second time, Wu Song raised his whistle stick and slammed into the tiger, only to hear a click, and the whistle stick hit the branch and broke into two pieces. The author wrote this way, probably with the intention of letting Wu Song fight with his bare hands, which showed more heroism. Who knows that future generations do not understand this meaning, the new version of the Water Margin drama also added a shot of Wu Song stabbing the tiger with a knife. Screenwriters may think that human fists are not enough to kill tigers, but literary works of art often need to be exaggerated. If Wu Song kills a tiger with a modern submachine gun, it is quite convincing, but the hero's spirit is weak. Li Kui killed four tigers on the way to pick up his mother, but none of Wu Song killed a tiger wonderfully, Li Kui was a tiger killed with a knife, and Wu Song was a tiger killed with his bare hands.
The whistle rod broke, and only the bare hands were hit. When the tiger fell down again, Wu Song took the opportunity to ride on it, held the tiger's head deadly, pulled out a hand, and beat the tiger to death.
This wonderful story has spread all over the world. Chairman Mao once used the example of Wu Song beating a tiger to illustrate the need for fearless heroism, saying: "In the face of wild beasts, we must not show the slightest cowardice. We have to learn from The Wusong on jingyang gang. In Wu Song's view, the tiger on the Jingyang Gang stimulates it like that, and it is also like that without stimulating it, in short, it is to eat people. Either the tiger is killed, or the tiger is eaten, and either of the two will be one.
The tiger was killed, and Wu Song was exhausted. At this time, seeing two tigers again, Wu Song thought to himself, this is broken. If you look closely, it's not a real tiger, it's a person in tiger skin. When they went forward to talk, they learned that these two people were local hunters, and they were punished by the government to catch tigers at night, afraid of being hurt by tigers, and pretending to be tigers to go up the mountain to check on the situation. Behind them, there was a large group of people gathered elsewhere, and once there was a situation, it was better to work together.
Wu Song was relieved and said that you don't have to work hard anymore, I have already killed that tiger. Where do two hunters believe! Wu Song said, I don't believe you can see it for yourself. The two looked at it, and sure enough, a tiger died there. They quickly summoned the group of people waiting outside, led Wu Song, carried the tiger, and returned to zhuangshang. When the townspeople saw that Wu Song had killed the tiger, they were all very happy, killed the pig and put wine in celebration, and quickly reported it to Zhi County in Yanggu County. ZhiXian let Wu Song wear red flowers and cross the street in a palanquin, which was very beautiful, and made him the capital of Yanggu County.
Two days later, Wu Song was walking on the street, and he overheard someone behind him calling out to him, saying, "You have done the head of the county, and you have forgotten me." Wu Song looked back and it turned out to be his brother Wu Dalang. Wu Song hurriedly knelt down and gave his brother a salute. My brother was the one he was thinking about. The brother said to Wu Song, half pity and half complaint: You have been gone for such a long time, and you have not heard from your family, I am annoying you and pitying you. Annoy you, because you are violent, there is no trouble at home, and I have to bear it for you. Happy, you are back, I can waist rod hard, others no longer dare to bully us. Wu Dalang's words, seemingly random, are very piped, which makes the reader see that Wu Dalang is not less bullied, and he is a weak person who deserves sympathy.
It turned out that Wu Dalang had married a wife in his hometown of Qinghe. This wife was originally a handmaiden of a large family, and her nickname was Pan Jinlian. Notice that it is a small name, not a big name. Some scholars say that in ancient times, bad women were often called Pan Jinlian. In the dialect of Peony District, it is often said that this person is very "Pan Jin", and I don't know if there is such a meaning. From this name, everyone can also see that the author of "Water Margin" wrote this Pan Jinlian as a slut.
This Pan Jinlian, twenty-two years old, has some color. This is quite a bit of color, that is, it looks quite good, I am afraid that some people do not understand it very beautifully. Because the big family wanted to pester, Pan Jinlian filed a complaint with the master's wife, and the big family remembered the hatred in his heart, but he lost fang Yi, did not want Wu Da to pay a penny, and married him in vain. Since Wu Da married the woman, there were several treacherous floating prodigal disciples in Qinghe County, who often came to his house to find fault. "Water Margin" said that it turned out that this woman, seeing that Wu Da was short in stature and had lewd characters, would not be affectionate. This mother-in-law is so good that she steals the man for the love of the head. And said: "If you encounter a child who is in the wind and clouds, wait for the idle clouds and rain to steal the period." After Pan Jinlian passed through the door, Wu Da was a cowardly person who followed his duty, and this group of people did not have time to shout in front of the door: "A good piece of mutton, fell into the mouth of the dog!" Therefore, Wuhan University did not live in Qinghe County, moved to Yanggu County Zishi Street, and still picked and sold cooking cakes every day.
Regarding Pan Jinlian, there has been the most debate in recent years, which has almost confused people's thinking. Some people are even more bold, saying that Pan Jinlian has feelings and righteousness, and dares to pursue a "sexual happiness" life. There are even more ignorant young people who say that he is the pride of contemporary women. How many female compatriots would be proud of her? The sun did not come out of the west, and there would not be too much fear of homophony with Pan Jinlian, but more people were afraid of pulling themselves together with Pan Jinlian, who for hundreds of years had been synonymous with adulteress. There are endless female talents in this world, but they are not like Pan Jinlian.
Of course, Pan Jinlian also deserves sympathy. A woman who looks more standard, but married to a person like Wu Dalang, who is very unworthy. A handmaiden was transferred to Wu Dalang by the big household, which shows that the big family has the right to dispose of her. She may be like the Mandarin Duck in "Dream of the Red Chamber", because she was born poor and lowly, sold to a rich and noble family, and everything is decided by the master. Suppose she was born into a rich family, and she could also read books, learn etiquette, and live the life of reading and chanting poetry in the Grand View Garden. But she is not, which must lament the injustice of life. If she marries a good family, a handsome husband, her life will be much better, but she does not, she can only envy others' share.
However, this kind of sympathy cannot be used as a reason to excuse Pan Jinlian. "Water Margin" is critical of Pan Jinlian, criticizing her for seducing her adulterer and harming her husband. After Wu Song saw his brother, the following story is that Pan Jinlian hooked up with the prodigal prince Ximen Qing to poison Wu Dalang, and Wu Song killed the two to avenge the snow. Pan Jinlian first wanted to hook up with Wu Song. Wu Song is a figure who stands tall in the sky, and will never do such a thing that deceives brothers and sisters-in-law and hurts heaven and nature. Some people say that Wu Song does not understand the style, which is completely wrong. Wu Song is talking about loyalty, if he dares to cheat with his sister-in-law, what is the difference between him and a scum like Ximen Qing! "Water Margin" is written in this way, in addition to making Wu Song's image more tall, it is to highlight Pan Jinlian's lasciviousness. Wu Song didn't find it, so he went to find Ximen Qing, which is not what lasciviousness is. The most serious problem was that she conspired with Ximen Qing to kill Wu Dalang. After Wu Dalang was kicked and injured by Ximen Qing, Pan Jinlian did not treat him well and continued to have fun with Ximen Qing every day. For such a loyal, kind, loving husband, and to endure poisoning hands, this is intolerable. Wu Dalang is the most sympathetic person, a weak person. He was wronged, and the officials did not give him justice, but only relied on Wu Song to avenge this revenge. Just as the so-called wronged have a head, the debt has a master, and those who mutilate others are not punished, where is there justice to speak of! Wu Song was indeed a real boy, he found out the cause of his brother's death, found evidence, and killed the adulteress. If a person can't even report the grievances of his own family, then how can he go all over the world to uphold justice! The most hateful thing is the queen mother who wears the needle and leads, all the bad ideas are hers, she covets other people's money, and does the things with bad conscience, so the government sentences her the most severely, and puts her to death.
Speaking of Pan Jinlian, some people like to cite the famous writer Mr. Wei Minglun's Sichuan opera "Pan Jinlian", saying that it is for Pan Jinlian to turn over the case. This Sichuan opera written by Mr. Wei in the 1980s was indeed a sensation, but it also caused a lot of controversy. Some people call it farce, others call it absurdity. In fact, Mr. Wei did not fully affirm Pan Jinlian and induce the ladies to steal Han. His script only reflects a kind of thinking of some modern people on women's issues, in which he not only expresses sympathy for Pan Jinlian being bullied by a large household to marry an ugly and weak man, but also expresses his condemnation of Pan Jinlian's lascivious and murderous behavior, pointing out that Pan Jinlian's heart was red at first, and then became black. In this way, we must look at the problem comprehensively. If you grasp one point and don't reach the rest, there will be deviations.
Wu Song was sent to Mengzhou Prison for killing his sister-in-law, and thus the story of meeting Sun Erniang in Cross Slope, helping Shi En to beat Jiang Menshen drunk in Happy Forest, and later killing Zhang Doujian and others. These stories highlight Wu Song's resentful and jealous character. Some people say that Wu Song killed indiscriminately. Indiscriminate killing is not right, but it is also forced to do so in a hurry. Wu Song had his respect for women. For example, in Wu Liling, he killed the evil villain and rescued the woman who fell into distress without expecting anything in return, such a righteous act has the same nature as Lu Zhishen's rescue of Jin Cuilian and the rescue of Miss Liu of Peach Blossom Village.
Wu Song and Wu Dalang are only fictional characters, and they are not recorded in the history books. Some people say that Wu Dalang is Wu Zhi, and that Wu Zhi is a Ming Dynasty jinshi who served as a Yanggu County Order. The name Wu Zhi is not found in the list of Ming Dynasty scholars in the Qinghe County Chronicle. The List of Ming Dynasty Zhi Counties in the Yanggu County Chronicle also does not have Wu Zhi's name. In the original work of "Water Margin", there is no Wu Zhi name, and even the tablet is written as Wu Dalang, but the 98 version of the CCTV TV series and the newly broadcast version of Water Margin write Wu Dalang's tablet as Wu Zhi. Realistically speaking, this can only be regarded as a kind of legend.
