In the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, the land of Kanto was full of trouble, and there were countless locks. As the saying goes, "there are no rules, there is no circle", these locks can gather one side, advance and retreat freely, and must have a strict organizational structure.
The big shopkeeper is naturally the big boss, the general leader. In the large locks, there will also be a special second cabinet, that is, the second master, the deputy leader.
Most people have heard of the saying "four beams and eight pillars", but how to divide it is actually very particular.
In the northern part of Jilin and the Heilongjiang area, the "four beams and eight pillars" are actually eight people, while in the southern part of Jilin and Liaoning, the "four beams and eight pillars" are twelve people.
01
Regarding the situation that "four beams and eight pillars" are eight people, it refers to the inner four beams and the outer four beams, and then collectively called the eight pillars.
Among them, the four beams include "stomping" (supporting the heavenly beam), "cannon head" (top heavenly beam), "grain platform" (Shuntian beam), "water fragrance" (Yingtian beam).
Stomping: That is, the military advisers and staff officers in the locks, if the big shopkeeper is a "wolf", then the stomping is "embarrassment". Stomping requires a high level of education, understanding astronomy and geography, divination and divination. When there is a major action in the dreadlocks, it is necessary to stomp and calculate the auspicious day of the zodiac and the direction of the attack.
If there is a red and white wedding in the dreadlock, you need to be an archdeacon when you stomp, and if necessary, you will also boost morale by pretending to be a ghost, and you are an indispensable and important person in the dreadlock, usually second only to the big treasurer.
Of course, most of the time, the level of divination is "a bottle is not satisfied, half a bottle is wandering", how can there be any real half-immortal - if it is really a half-immortal, he has already become a guest of the Shuaifu, how can he fall into the grass.
Gun head: The stomping of the silk cloth is called "left auxiliary right bi", which controls the armed forces of the silk and is responsible for commanding the operation when the kiln is smashed in battle. If it is a large lock, the gun head will also be subdivided into "main gun head" and "secondary gun head", where the "main gun head" is also called "total gun head".
The marksmanship of the gun head must be excellent, that is, straight-cut - otherwise it will not be able to convince the public, and it can even be decided with one shot at a critical moment. In addition, the courage of the cannon head must also be big enough, and life and death should be downplayed, and if you are not satisfied, you will do it.
In any of the locks, although the stomping status exceeds the gun head, but if the big shopkeeper folds, and the lock does not have a second cabinet, then the successor will definitely be the gun head, not the stomping, so the stomping is the "second ten thousand years", and the gun head is the preparation of the big shopkeeper.
In the middle is the big shopkeeper, with a stomping on the left hand side and a gun head on the right hand
Liangtai: It can be seen literally that it belongs to the logistics director and manages the eating, drinking, and Lazar in the locks. The grain station needs to be able to plan and know how to keep accounts. In addition, we must be fair, skilled, and not greedy or possessive. But back then, in the position of the grain station, it was also the easiest to get into trouble, for example, some of the locks in the grain station engaged in spending money and making false public and private affairs.
Once discovered, there is only one end: plug in!
Shui Xiang: Responsible for arranging sentry and daily discipline. For a dreadlock, it is impossible to nest in one place without moving, otherwise you will not be able to get money, and it is easy to be wrapped up by jumpers.
Locks often need to be "slippery" and "picked", and every time you go to a place, standing guard is a big thing. Shui Xiang will find a suitable place to set up "clips", and the clever and diligent cubs will put up open and dark posts, mainly to prevent attacks by jumpers (officers and soldiers), evil tigers (security groups), and waikouzi (hostile locks).
Incense is usually done by a vigilant and clever officer.
The above is the "four beams in the inside".
02
Then there are the "outer four beams", that is, "Yangzi Fang" (ruthless beam), "Flower Tongue" (outside the beam), "Insert Qian" (Thorn Beam), "Word Craftsman" (door beam).
里四梁+外四梁=四梁八柱。
Seedling room: the main source of income for a lock, in addition to smashing the kiln is the kidnapping ticket, they call the tied meat ticket "seedling", and the seedling room is used to detain and torture the meat ticket, so although the shopkeeper of the seedling room is seated behind, but the actual status is very high, and even the big shopkeeper has to let the shopkeeper of the seedling room for three points.
In addition, the shopkeeper of the seedling house is also called the "ruthless beam", which can be seen.
The method of "copying tickets" in the seedling room is outrageous, full of tricks, and I can't bear to read it.
Therefore, the folk manager of the seedling house is called "the one who makes damage......
Flower Tongue: Usually responsible for cooperating with the shopkeeper of the seedling house, after the ticket is tied, the flower tongue will go to the bitter master's house to explain the redemption price, and conduct a pull negotiation.
Flower tongue not only needs to be able to speak well, but also have poisonous eyes, which can accurately judge the highest bearing capacity of the bitter master's family.
After all, if the ransom is too high, the bitter master's family will not be able to afford it, so they may give up directly, so that they will work in vain, and if the ransom is too low, it will not be cost-effective.
Some flower tongues are full-time in the locks, and some flower tongues are open to the good people and secretly bandits. Usually after entering the bitter master's house, he begins to perform: "This matter in your stall is indeed sympathetic." But now the most important thing is to redeem people, after all, this is a human life, people are more important than money, you can't leave it alone!"
If the parents of the bitter master don't move for a while, then the flower tongue will send parts again and again......
The one with a white cloth wrapped around the rightmost arm is a flower tongue, and the others are meat tickets
Inserting thousands: Mainly responsible for stepping on plates, probing and collecting intelligence information, for example, if the locks want to smash the kiln, then the insertion of thousands must figure out the number of gunners in the hard kiln, the location of the ground gun, etc. If you want to tie up a ticket, you need to find out the object's travel route, time, and so on.
Those who insert thousands of people usually disguise themselves as pickers, shavers, scissors, and bristles, and walk the streets to visit households, inquire about information, and draw routes.
Lettersmith: As the name suggests, he is responsible for writing letters. For example, after tying the meat ticket, a letterman will write a letter indicating the ransom payment, etc. In addition, if there is contact with other locks, or negotiate with the government to recruit security, etc., it is also the responsibility of the wordsmith, the words need to be decent, the font needs to be correct, and the cat and dog can not plane, which will lose the dignity of the lock.
Usually the New Year is celebrated in the locks, and the Spring Festival couplets are also written by the wordsmith. Usually the wordsmith is forced to fall into the grass, for example, in the twelfth year of the Republic of China (1923) in the Heilongjiang Bukui area, the "big old good" handkerchief, caught a foreign student (generally refers to a student wearing a dress, not a foreigner), because there is a shortage of wordsmiths in the silk, so the overlord forced the foreign students to fall into the grass and become wordsmiths......
Not to mention, later this foreign student got mixed up in the dreadlocks.

"Inner four beams" + "outer four beams" = four beams and eight columns, adding up to 8 people, this is just the style of Heilongjiang and northern Jilin. There is also a kind of "four beams", that is, four beams, and "eight columns" are counted separately, adding up to 12 people.
Among them, the "four beams" are equal to the "inner four beams" mentioned above, and the "eight pillars" are on the basis of the "outer four beams", and there are four other positions, that is, in addition to the "seedling room" (ruthless column), "flower tongue" (outside the room), "inserted thousands" (stabbing column), "word craftsman" (door post), there are also "general urging" (sweeping column), "even horse" (white jade column), inner paste (support column), and number (letter delivery column).
General urging: It is mainly to cooperate with the gun head in the four beams and is responsible for carrying out the supervision work. That is, when smashing the kiln and fighting, monitor the performance of the cubs in the back to see which one is stealing and cheating, greedy for life and afraid of death, once discovered, the consequences are very serious.
Therefore, the popularity of the people who always urge in the silk is very poor, and if you are not careful, you will be shot black.
Lianma: also known as the "horse number", it is responsible for the daily feeding and walking of the horses, and also has to work as a veterinarian to treat the horses when they are sick.
The most important means of production in the silk is the horse, which is their second life, so the duty of the horse is very important.
Inner sticker: It is the personal guard chief of the big shopkeeper, responsible for the daily safety of the big shopkeeper, and is the most trusted person of the big shopkeeper. On the bright side, it is a water incense tube, but in fact, it is directly owned by the big shopkeeper.
The status of the inner paste in the silk is relatively special, and no one is generally provoked.
Transmission number: It is responsible for contact information, and there is a cub who is specifically responsible for flying sea leaves (sending letters), which is roughly equivalent to a communications officer.

In the Tsui Hark version of the movie "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" released in 2014, the boss is the cannon head, the second is the stomping, the third is the grain platform, the fourth is the thousand, the fifth is the shopkeeper of the seedling house, the sixth is the water fragrance, the seventh is the flower tongue, and the eighth is the wordsmith (the eighth is responsible for the code in the movie).
Because the mountain carving is in the Heilongjiang area, the movie is still very realistic, and the four beams and eight pillars are eight people, collectively known as the Eight King Kongs.
Yang Zirong became the "old nine" after beating the tiger up the mountain, and he was actually the deputy gun head.
In fact, the structure and responsibilities of the "four beams and eight pillars" in the silk are gradually formed in a long period of practice, and its rigor and rationality need not be said.
