"Water Margin", one of the four famous works of ancient classics, has endured for hundreds of years. Some people like the forbearant and steady Lin Chong, some people like the resolute and ruthless Wu Song, some people like the open-minded and righteous Lu Zhishen, how many people like Yang Zhi? is also a tragic character, Yang Zhi is a little less courageous than Lin Chong, "I can't bear it anymore".
Today, "History Book Ling Xuan Ge" uses this article to deeply analyze the role of Yang Zhi based on the original work of "Water Margin". After carefully reading the original work of "Water Margin", I know that Yang Zhi is actually a complete "coward".
The Sprinkle family is the grandson of the fifth marquis Yang Linggong, surnamed Yang Mingzhi, after three generations of generals, and lives here. When he was young, he had to do martial arts, and he was an envoy of the palace system, and the Taoist monarch went to Taihu Lake to carry the flowers and stones because of the long live mountain. I didn't want to be lucky when I was at home, so I took the flower and stone gang and came to the Yellow River, but the boat was overturned by the wind, and I couldn't go back to Beijing to take refuge, so I fled to other places for refuge.
When Yang Zhi appeared, he introduced himself like this. In Yang Zhi's heart, after he was a famous general, he had his own halo, and he had practiced martial arts since he was a child, studied the art of war hard, and also won martial arts. Yang Zhi's subtext is: "An excellent person like me should have a brilliant life." ”
Before Yang Zhi was thirty years old, he was indeed brilliant enough. Wang Lun, a white-clothed showman, had heard of Yang Zhi's name when he entered Beijing to take the exam. In other words, the fame of the blue-faced beast Yang Zhi at that time was not lost to Lin Chong at all. But after the age of thirty, Yang Zhi's life ushered in a huge turning point.
Yang Zhi did not wait for the task of arranging troops and leading the army to kill the enemy, he received an errand boy who escorted "Huashi Gang". The result? Of the ten "palace envoys", nine successfully completed the task, and only Yang Zhi capsized in the Yellow River. If three or four of the ten "palace envoys" capsized because of the storm, Yang Zhi's guilt is not great, after all, it was caused by "force majeure". But he alone did not complete the task, which shows that Yang Zhi really did not consider the important factor of weather.
How did Yang Zhi deal with this failure? He ran away, not daring to face his superiors and not daring to take responsibility for himself. Yang Zhi's performance, is it a bit cowardly? If you do something wrong, you must always dare to bear the consequences. Ten ships of Huashigang capsized, and there are still nine ships left, which is not a monstrous disaster. But Yang Zhi patted his ass and ran away directly, didn't he ruin his future?
Yang Zhi has been hiding and hiding for several years. Finally waited for the amnesty of the world, he sold his property, and finally scraped together a load of gold and silver, and wanted to go back to do some work, begging Gao Taiwei Gao Yu, so that he could be the "palace envoy" again.
However, do you know how stupid Yang Zhi is? Before Yang Zhi saw Gao Yu, he had already spent a load of honeysuckle that he had put together. When he stood in front of Gao Yu, his hands were empty, and he stared at Gao Yu with big eyes.
Yang Zhi will take out the gold and silver property in the load, buy it and sue it, and then make up for the palace envoy system. After exhausting many things, he got the application documents and led them to see the palace marshal Gao Taiwei.
See? Yang Zhi is so stupid, the gold and silver have been exhausted, can Gao Yu look at him squarely? After Yang Zhi was blasted out by Gao Yu, he also scolded Gao Yu for being "vicious and mean". Gao Yu is indeed vicious and mean, but Yang Zhi's EQ is too low!
Next, it was Yang Zhi who sold a knife and chopped Niu Er. Yang Zhi split Niu Er, it seemed that he had finally rebelled against his fate, but in fact, this was another very stupid act. Niu Er is a weak person for Yang Zhi, a paper tiger who can be broken at the first poke.
Yang Zhi could easily beat Niu Er with three punches and two kicks, but he couldn't control himself at all, and sprinkled all the anger that Gao Yu gave him on Niu Er. Yang Zhi slashed Niu Er with one sword, and also completely shattered his own fate, and since then he has become a guilty body.
Later, fate gave Yang Zhi a favor, he was appreciated by Liang Zhongshu, and he was given another mission to escort the birth gang. If I were Yang Zhi, I would definitely learn from the lessons of the past, and keep an eye on the birth gang for 24 hours, and it would be best for me to escort it with three thousand elite soldiers.
Yang Zhi's own experience in the rivers and lakes was not enough, but he was very arrogant and confident in rejecting the idea of Liang Zhongshu sending 300 soldiers to protect along the way, and he took 20 people on his back. Yang Zhi: Where do you get your confidence? How many hills are there along the way, do you have a good idea of how many grass there are? As a result, Yang Zhi missed again, and Shengchengang was robbed by Chao Gai, Wu Yong and others.
Next, Yang Zhi's performance perfectly interpreted the word "cowardice".
Yang Zhi failed again, he didn't have the face to go back to his life, what should he do? He thought about suicide. In the whole "Water Margin", no matter how capable the heroes of Liangshan are, they all pursue the reputation of "iron bones", "chic freedom", and "heroes". There are also those who are worse than Yang Zhi in the book, Wu Song, Lin Chong, Lu Junyi, Qin Ming, which one is not worse than Yang Zhi? But there are 108 heroes in Liangshan in the book, and only Yang Zhi thought of ending his life when he faced the predicament.
Yang Zhi's performance is not like a green forest grass who licks blood from the knife edge, nor is it like a man who can withstand the wind, frost, rain and snow. After the loss of the Birth Gang, Yang Zhi stood on the cliff of Huangnigang, hesitated for a long time, and finally did not have the courage to end his life, and finally stopped his steps.
Yang Zhi is such a "coward" who likes to escape problems and escape reality very much, and instinctively chooses to escape after encountering problems, even if he is not alive.
After Yang Zhi went to Liangshan, when he followed Song Jiang to fight Dongchang Mansion, he was hit by Zhang Qing with a stone on the helmet, and the original work of "Water Margin" described Yang Zhi as follows: "Frightened and cold, he returned to the battlefield with a saddle." ”
There are many heroes in Liangshan who have defeated the battle, and if they can't fight, they will run, only Yang Zhi has such a very dazzling four words "frightened and cold". If Yang Zhi met the white-fronted insect on Jingyang Gang, would he have weak legs and couldn't walk?
In "Water Margin", Yang Zhi is ill-fated and indeed unlucky, but this has a lot to do with his own choice. Yang Zhi is a person who has no friends in the book, and in the whole "Water Margin", Yang Zhi has no time to fall in love with any hero and talk about wine. After Yang Zhi was rejected by Gao Yu, he was reduced to the point where he couldn't afford to eat a meal, so he could only sell the ancestral treasure knife.
The military general sells the sword, what a humiliation. Don't forget, this is the place where Yang Zhi has been working for more than ten years in the past, and there is not even a person who invites him to a meal!
In fact, people like Yang Zhi are not uncommon around us, they can't accept failure, and they just want to escape when they encounter problems. Over time, he gave up his life, just because he was afraid of failure and didn't dare to choose. Let's take a look at Lu Zhishen in "Water Margin", he has also been in a desperate situation several times, but he is very open-minded, can take the initiative to make changes, and is very optimistic. In Lu Zhishen's eyes, there are no rules and regulations in this world, and there is no desperate dilemma, so Lu Zhishen can achieve positive results.
