Chinese culture is broad and profound, has a long history, and is all-encompassing, and one of the branches is the colloquialism. Sayings are a summary of the wisdom of the ancients, although it is easy to understand, but the words are concise, the sayings are passed down from generation to generation, word of mouth, passed down to the present, is after years of screening and consideration, many sayings have their own reasons for existence, especially those involving the philosophy of living in the world, worthy of oral contemplation and reference, for example, today to talk about this sentence - "Ning Ya Wu Song, Mo Ya Lin Chong", what does this saying mean? Is it still useful today?
"Water Margin" is one of the four classical masterpieces, the book depicts the story of 108 heroes from all over the world, Juyi Liang Shanpo, in this hundred and eight good men, Wu Song and Lin Chong are second to none, they are strong in martial arts, known as "lin chong immediately, step down Wu song" saying.
This saying "Ning Ja Wu Song, Mo Ya Lin Chong" Many people will feel confused at first glance, Lin Chong and Wu Song are both highly armed, no matter which one is not good.
The key to this saying lies in the word "Ning", which has the meaning of "the lesser of the two powers", whether it is provoking Wu Song or provoking Lin Chong, it is a disaster, but relatively speaking, provoking Wu Song is better than provoking Lin Chong.
Speaking of this, many people will understand that the "Wu Song" and "Lin Chong" in the saying do not only refer to the two good men of Liangshan, but represent two personalities, and people with these two personalities are likely to meet in life, so this saying has a certain guiding significance for people's lives.
Colloquialisms have many conventional characteristics, in addition to easy to understand, concise and concise, colloquialisms are generally divided into two sentences, and there is a sentence as a foil, used to enhance the warning effect of the saying, for a simple example, as the saying goes: "the white tiger wears the hall, the family is broken", the focus of this saying is the first half of the sentence "White Tiger through the hall", the second half of the saying is a foil, increasing the warning effect.
Looking back at this sentence "Ning Ja Wu Song, Mo Ya Lin Chong", the focus of this proverb is on the second half of the sentence "Mo Ya Lin Chong"
Wu Song's personality characteristics can be skipped in one stroke, that is, people who have clear grievances, have grace and revenge, and have revenge, in life, such people love and hate are clear, frank and frank, if they provoke them, they will have revenge and revenge, do not play any tricks, provoke such people, and the ambitions they encounter are also clear and clear.
As for Lin Chong's personality characteristics, it can be summed up in two words, that is, "hidden forbearance". In "Water Margin", Lin Chong's three hidden tolerances are very classic:
1. Lin Chong and his wife went to the temple to make a wish, Gao Jun's son Gao Yanei saw that Lin Niangzi was as beautiful as a flower, accustomed to playing for the tiger, flirting with the people's women, and the lawless Gao Yunei, with Gao Qiang's support, he flirted with Lin Niangzi with his words, although Lin Chong, as the leader of the 800,000 Forbidden Army, learned that the other side's back force was his superior Gao Li, and was about to beat Gao Yunei's fist fiercely, and he took it back. In the midst of many concerns about his family and work, Lin Chong chose to be patient.
In the end, Lin Chong, who could not bear it, abandoned all illusions and angrily stood on the opposite side of Gao Li, and was forced to liangshan, becoming a tiger general in Liangshan, becoming a nail in Gao Li's eye and a thorn in his flesh.
2. Lin Chong's friend Lu Qian, in order to covet glory and wealth, and Gao Qi and Gao Yunei, have twice designed to kill Lin Chong, once designed to let Lin Chong mistakenly enter the White Tiger Hall, once designed to burn the hay field, Lin Chong's life was great, lu Qian failed twice. Between years of friendship, Lin Chong originally did not suspect Lu Qian at all, and in the end, Lu Qian exposed his horse's feet and was caught by Lin Chong, who angrily said: "Traitor! I have been friends with you since childhood, and today I have come to harm me!" Why not do your business? And eat me with a knife!" ”
Lin Chong, in a fit of rage, left Lu Qian and the others behind and exterminated them all, and from then on, Lin Chong understood a truth, that is, "eliminate evil and do everything possible."
3, Lin Chong first arrived in Liangshan, everywhere by the small belly chicken intestines, jealous of The ability of Wang Lun to suppress, once the leader of the eight hundred thousand forbidden army, fell to such a field, this is an unbearable humiliation for ordinary people, all this, Lin Chong also endured, until waiting until Chao covered Liangshan, fire Wang Lun, Lin Chong was angry, killed Wang Lun, .
Many readers expressed puzzlement about Lin Chong's killing of Wang Lun, believing that this move was a vent of anger, quite suspected of being unkind and unjust, you know, Lin Chong escaped from Lu Qian's trap twice, before going to Liangshan, Lin Chong's personality has completely changed, and Wang Lun and Lu Qian are the same way of goods, they are both despicable villains, at this time, Lin Chong has no tolerance for villains.
Finally, it is still a look back at this saying, the focus of this saying is Lin Chong, speaking of Lin Chong, the first sentence that people think of is "forced to Liangshan", and the honest people in life, like Lin Chong, can be tolerant, but there is also a degree of forbearance, if you can't bear it, once the honest people wake up, the consequences are unimaginable.
Therefore, the core spirit of the whole saying "Ning Ja Wu Song, Mo Ya Lin Chong" is to warn people that Ning Ya Wu Song, Mo Ya honest people.
