Some questions, which look simple, actually have a deep meaning. And some problems, although they look complicated, are nothing more than a sentence through the window paper. For example, the question in "Water Margin": In the cross slope, when Wu Song hugged Sun Erniang and pushed her to the ground, why didn't Sun Erniang's husband, Zhang Qing, help?
If you want to understand it thoroughly, let's first talk about the subtleties of the book "Water Margin", which are not easy to be detected!
In fact, "Water Margin" is quite exquisitely written, and Wu Song, as an important good man in "Water Margin", the painstaking efforts spent on him by Shi Nai'an are not much worse than the protagonist Song Jiang. Let's just say that Wu Song's encounter in the cross slope, I am afraid that many people have suddenly discovered: Why did Wu Song, who was full of righteousness, suddenly become so bad?
Obviously, he could kill Sun Erniang in a second, but he pretended to be drunk and suppressed people under him. How can Sun Erniang's appearance compare to Pan Jinlian, who has a variety of styles? Mo Fei Wusong's taste is very special - I have seen a lot of such questions on the Internet. And this problem also belongs to this category, but it is only to analyze from Zhang Qing's point of view.
However, the author would like to ask a rhetorical question first: Why did Wu Song come to Cross Slope and enter Sun Erniang's black shop?
The answer is that because his sister-in-law Pan Jinlian lured Wu Song unsuccessfully, his psychology changed, and he later hooked up with Ximen Qing and killed Wu Dalang. In order to avenge his brother, Wu Song killed Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing in anger, and was sent to Mengzhou and came here.
There are two key words: big brother and sister-in-law. Because just then, Wu Song was here, and he married Zhang Qing, zhang Qing became Wu Song's eldest brother, and Sun Erniang became his sister-in-law.
What is this called? Wu Song just lost his brother and sister-in-law, and he got a brother and sister-in-law, but it was a different taste! See the subtlety of "Water Margin"! So why set it up this way? In my opinion, there are two reasons!
One: the need for affection
For Wu Song, How can Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang be compared with Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian? Wu Song was only formally compensated. And the reason why Wu Song agreed to worship is probably because he needs the comfort of family affection, which is the common sentiment of people!
The greatest role of family affection has always been to prove that you live a meaningful life. For example, many parents work hard for their children. For example, the famous Guan Zhong in history, the reason why he was greedy for life and afraid of death, and greedy for money, was because he wanted to support his elderly mother. These can all be attributed to this role.
The same is true of Wu Song, the so-called existence is better than nothing, at least in form, his life is complete. Because the ancients' righteousness is not a joke, a head bumping down means becoming a brother and relative.
Second: contrasting Pan Jinlian and Wu Dalang
The marital status of Pan Jinlian and Wu Dalang is that women are strong and men are weak. The same is true of the marital status of Sun Erniang and Zhang Qing.
Pan Jinlian and Sun Erniang are both "cruel people". One personally poisoned her husband, one opened a meat bun shop, and Wu Dalang and Zhang Qing were relatively kind - this is the same point. In other words, the big framework such as family structure is equivalent to the same.
The difference is only in that Sun Erniang is not as beautiful as Pan Jinlian. Zhang Qing, on the other hand, is more like a man than Wu Dalang.
Now, looking at Wu Song again, he refused to be seduced by his sister-in-law Pan Jinlian, but here he pressed his sister-in-law Sun Erniang under him, is this a kind of contrast or compensation?
To put it more clearly, Wu Song is also a person with flesh and blood and needs, he is not "not close to a woman", so with the foreshadowing of the scene of Cross Slope, when he learned that Inspector Zhang was going to give Yulan Xu to himself, why he became so excited, it was logical. Is this the subtlety of Water Margin? Although he never writes about the psychological changes of the characters, he reacts through these bridge settings and uses the technique of white painting.
Understanding the above two points, in fact, the last doubt: why Zhang Qing does not help, it is very easy to understand, but also two reasons.
One: Zhang Qing had no time to help. In "Water Margin", it is clearly written as follows: The woman was pressed to the ground and only cried, "Good man spare me!" "Where dare to struggle. I saw a man in front of the door picking up a load of firewood and resting at the head of the door. Seeing Wu Song pressing the woman down on the ground, the man strode in and shouted, "Good man is angry!" And forgive, the little man has his own words. ”
At that time, the situation was that after Sun Erniang and the guys were present and were "counter-killed" by Wu Song, Zhang Qing rushed to the scene, and it was too late to stop and help. The wife's life is now in danger, as a husband, how dare Zhang Qing act recklessly? That's why he called out to his men to be merciful and so on.
Second: If Zhang Qing had been present, this scene would not have happened. Afterwards, Zhang Qing once explained that although he could not control his wife, he had made a request: The third class should not spoil him. Among them are the prisoners of the past, because "there are many good men in the middle." Sun Erniang, on the other hand, was a "bad mother-in-law" and did not listen, which led to Wu Song's counter-killing.
At the same time, the monks cannot be killed. Lu Zhishen had been on the Road, and was almost killed by Sun Erniang. There was also a tou Tuo, and finally Wu Song's sword, a line of heads, is the family's, for this matter Zhang Qing also regretted it, thinking that the Head Tuo was a good man, and it was a pity to die at the hands of his wife.
Therefore, if Zhang Qing were present, there would be no conflict or misunderstanding at all. Moreover, it is not necessarily a good thing that the wife can be so "bad" and be educated by Wu Song. This is actually Zhang Qing's thoughts. After all, Wu Song did not infringe on Sun Erniang, but teased, which Wu Song also explained.
Therefore, Zhang Qing is not not helping, but he can't help. In other words, it can also be understood that this paragraph can be said to be a turning point and compensation for Wu Song's emotions. At the same time, it also laid the groundwork for Wu Song to kill Yulan and completely destroy Wu Song's emotions, and since then he has become a cold-blooded head, laying the groundwork - the so-called from a tiger hero to a prisoner in the world (body and feelings), to a monk (a walker), and the brother-in-law problem (family problem) is the inducement!
