The nicknames of the good men in "Water Margin" are simply various, and what is more pitted is that Shi Gong, who has some nicknames, does not disclose the meaning to everyone, for example, before someone asked me what the "sick" word in "Sick Lieutenant Late" and "Sick Guansuo" is, I said that what was written in the original work was very clear, that is, the meaning of yellow face, and the result was a ruthless ridicule. But sarcasm is sarcasm, I think it's right, I support my point of view (as if I'm a person who knows what is wrong and can change it~).
The same is true of the nickname "Drylands"
Some experts believe that "Kulu" is the name of a poisonous lizard, who loves to eat turtles the most, and when they eat them, they also burrow into the shell of the turtle and wait for other prey to be hooked. When an animal or pedestrian without knowing the truth picks up its shell, the lizard suddenly burrows out of its shell and kills its opponent, in short, it is synonymous with danger and insidiousness. On Zhu Gui's performance in the tavern, he sometimes drugged trouble and killed passers-by who were entangled, fat oil light lamp lean meat abandoned the river, but there is a little sinister and cunning meaning, but he does not kill everyone, but also appropriately choose prey, which is obviously different from "kulu".
Since it is not easy to explain from the literal meaning, we will look for clues from the scene of this novel. Zhu Gui's first appearance was when Lin Chong was preparing to go up the mountain, when Lin Chong went up the mountain, Wang Lun was reluctant to take him in, Du Qian and Song Wan wanted to stay with Lin Chong but were not very good at speaking, it was Zhu Gui who bravely stood up and told Wang Lun about the stakes, and Lin Chong was able to stay in the cottage temporarily. In this paragraph, Zhu Gui shows the reader his extremely tough side, that is to say, without Zhu Gui's timely assistance to Lin Jiaotou, he would have to be driven down the mountain at that time.
Then, combined with Zhu Gui's righteous deeds, in combination with the encounter of Lin Jiaotou, Zhu Gui can be said to have rained a handful of gray and timely heavy rain in Lin Chong's dry heart. Coincidentally, in Shandong and other areas, people call the thunder before the rain "Kulu" or "hu lei", so that Zhu Gui's nickname is easy to explain, people are not big crocodiles that climb ashore, but actually the thunder that predicts rain on a dry day
In fact, whether Zhu Gui or Sha Monk is not, they are the epitome of our tens of millions of ordinary people.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, there are protagonists and supporting characters, and there are Zhu Gui or Sha monks. Everyone has been young, everyone has "will hit the water for three thousand miles, confident life for two hundred years", just entered the society, everyone has been "horses and hooves are short, eagles spread their wings and hate the sky is low", but time is a ruthless knife, each of us in the grinding of the stone of reality, was smoothed out the edges, dissipated the sharpness, and finally willing to be ordinary.
Since the applause on the stage does not belong to oneself, then, honestly be a person, do things in a down-to-earth manner, do what you should do, get what you deserve, be a person who applauds others, and live your life smoothly and steadily, which is quite good.
