"Water Margin" is one of the four famous works of ancient classics, which describes the stories of 108 heroes on Liangshan. Among the heroes of Liangshan, Wu Song is upright and unyielding, vicious and hateful, full of blood, and is one of the most loved heroes of Liangshan. There are a total of 100 chapters in the entire "Water Margin", of which there are 10 chapters describing Wu Song alone, which shows Shi Nai'an's love for Wu Song.
After Song Jiang recruited An, he led the heroes of Liangshan to conquer Fang La, and Wu Song unfortunately broke an arm in the battle. After defeating Fang La, Wu Song refused the reward and wanted to become a monk in Liuhe Temple, but when he said goodbye to Song Jiang, Song Jiang only said four words coldly, which made people feel cold. Today, "Lingxuan Pavilion in the History Book" uses this article to talk about the grievances and hatreds between Song Jiang and Wu Song.
Beginning Song Jiang
In the Water Margin, Wu Song met Song Jiang for the first time in Chai Jin Manor. At that time, both of them went to Chai Jin to take refuge there, and Song Jiang was because he killed Yan Poxi. Wu Song killed someone because of a mistake, and he has been living there for more than a year.
Wu Song has a bad temper and hard fists, and often has conflicts with Chai Jin's villagers. Wu Song was not famous at that time, and he always caused trouble for Chai Jin, so he didn't recruit Chai Jin to see him, and Wu Song mixed very poorly in Chai Jin's manor, and he was very down.
Song Jiang saw Wu Song and felt that this person was talented, heroic and powerful, and he was definitely not a mortal. So Song Jiang was very enthusiastic about Wu Song, asked for warmth, and bought new clothes for Wu Song with silver taels.
After getting along with Song Jiang for a while, Wu Song said goodbye to Song Jiang and Chai Jin, went home to find relatives, and stepped into the rivers and lakes.
Wu Song's later story is very exciting, Jingyanggang fought the tiger, fought and killed Ximenqing, drunkenly beat Jiang Menshen, made trouble in Feiyunpu, splashed blood on the Mandarin Duck Tower, and walked Centipede Ridge at night. Wu Song's journey can be said to be a bloody battle to the end, and the more he is on the verge of life and death, the more Wu Song can stimulate unlimited combat effectiveness.
Especially on Feiyunpu, Wu Song wears a heavy flail and shackles on his hands and feet, but he can still fight and kill four tolerances.
After Wu Song walked Centipede Ridge at night, he also made a scene of "Martial Artists Drunk and Punching Kong Liang". Who is Kong Liang? Song Jiang's apprentice, Song Jiang's two blows are enough to stumble, and his apprentice is even worse. Kong Liang was also unlucky, when he met Wu Song who was drunk and drunk, Kong Liang wanted to teach Wu Song a lesson, but was beaten by Wu Song.
Wu Song's drunken punching hole showed that he was brave and fearless, and he was heroic. Although Kong Liang is a disciple of Song Jiang, his martial arts are mediocre, so he is naturally not Wu Song's opponent. Since then, Wu Song's reputation has increased. Every time he made a shot, he showed his heroism. Whether it was fighting and killing Ximenqing or drunkenly beating Jiang Menshen, he proved his strength with practical actions. And the deeds such as making trouble in Feiyunpu and splashing the Mandarin Duck Tower with blood have made him a hero who everyone knows on the rivers and lakes.
Zhao'an disagreement
After Wu Song went to Liangshan, he gradually became estranged from Song Jiang, because Wu Song and Song Jiang were not the same kind of people at all. Moreover, in the matter of Zhao'an, Wu Song once publicly refuted Song Jiang, making Song Jiang very unable to come down.
In the seventy-first episode of the Water Margin, Song Jiang ranked the 108 heroes of Liangshan, and said his idea of recruiting an in front of all the leaders of Liangshan. When Wu Song heard this, he immediately stood up and said: "Recruit An today, recruit An tomorrow, and recruit An tomorrow, which chills the hearts of the brothers!" Wu Song disobeyed Song Jiang in front of everyone in Liangshan, and Song Jiang's heart was already on fire.
But Song Jiang remained silent, he said:
"Brother Wu Song, I see that you are also an understanding person, how could you say this? I recruited to make everyone change their ways, why did I chill the hearts of my brothers? ”
Everyone in the hall saw that Song Jiang was on fire, and no one dared to help Wu Song. At this time, Lu Zhishen stood up and said that it was better to break up the gang than to recruit An, so he pulled Wu Song away. After that, the relationship between Wu Song and Song Jiang became more estranged. Although there are 108 heroes on Liangshan, only Lu Zhishen really treats Wu Song as a brother.
Wu Song's broken arm
In the original Water Margin, Wu Song's arm was cut off by Bao Daoyi with a flying knife, and in the TV series Water Margin, Wu Song's arm was cut off by Fang La when he captured Fang La alive. On the way back to the court, Lu Zhishen passed away in Liuhe Temple. Wu Song had no intention of fame and fortune, and Lu Zhishen passed away, so he wanted to become a monk and take refuge in the Buddha.
Wu Song said to Song Jiang: "The younger brother is disabled now and does not want to go to Beijing for the Hajj. The elder brother made a book and wrote that the younger brother entered Beijing. Song Jiang saw and said: "Let your heart be!" "
Wu Song told Song Jiang his thoughts, but Song Jiang coldly replied to his brother Wu Song, who had followed him to death from birth to death, with four words: Let your heart follow!
Translated, these four words mean: It doesn't matter, you can go wherever you like! At this time, Song Jiang was already famous, and Wu Song was just a wasted man without arms in his eyes, and he had no use value. Wu Song, who was born and died for Song Jiang before, how to live after the broken arm, and whether there was anyone to take care of him, Song Jiang was indifferent to such a ruthless answer, which not only made Wu Song's heart cold, but also made countless readers feel cold!
After Wu Song heard this, his heart tingled, he knew Song Jiang's personality very well, but he never thought that he would be so indifferent. He smiled faintly, turned away, and never looked back. Since then, Wu Song has spent the rest of his life in Liuhe Temple, accompanied by the ancient Buddha of the green lantern.
Although Wu Song is in Buddhism, he still has the love of the rivers and lakes in his heart. He often recalled the days when he fought side by side with Song Jiang, and those heroic ambitions of fighting to the end seemed to be just yesterday. However, the cruelty of reality made him soberly realize that the rivers and lakes are no longer the rivers and lakes, and the brothers are no longer the brothers.
Wu Song practiced in Liuhe Temple, where he combined his martial arts with Buddhism to create a unique martial arts. With his actions, he explained what a real hero is. Although he no longer bothered with the affairs of the rivers and lakes, his fame spread all over the world.
Many years later, Song Jiang was jealous of the imperial court because of his high merits, and finally ended up miserable. And Wu Song spent his old age peacefully in Liuhe Temple, and his heart was full of peace and satisfaction.
This story tells us that the grievances and hatreds in life are just fleeting. A real hero should be like Wu Song, no matter where he is, he can stick to his beliefs and live his own wonderful life. And those who only value fame and fortune will only end up ruined.
Wu Song's story allows us to see the complexity and truth of human nature. His persistence and bravery made us feel the true heroism. And the grievances and hatreds between him and Song Jiang also make us deeply reflect on the meaning and value of life. In this world full of competition and temptation, how should we stick to our beliefs and live our own wonderful life? This is perhaps the biggest revelation left by Wu Song's story.
