First, the Wusong effect
For some people, there is no need to know who are the good men of Liangshan in "Water Margin"? Just know that there is a good man in Shandong, Wu Song Wu Ji Lang is enough.
Because only around Wu Song alone, a "storm circle" was formed, such as Wu Dalang, Pan Jinlian, Wang Po, Ximen Qing, and Jiang Menshen. These characters surrounding Wu Song were far more famous than many good men on Liangshan. Therefore, the author simply calls this phenomenon the "Wusong effect".
The so-called Wusong effect, in a nutshell, contains "three major enough"!
One: exciting enough! I don't need much explanation for this, right? Such as Wu Song fighting the tiger, as well as Wu Song, Pan Jinlian, Ximen Qing, these three names are given, everyone understands how eye-catching these things are!
Two: enough twists and turns! When it comes to our own lives, we all seek comfort and comfort. But when you look at other people's things, you all hope to be tortuous enough, which is the general psychology of people! Many deeds of Wu Song not only fully meet this requirement, but also send an additional "bizarre", that is, unexpected, because Wu Song is always desperate to counterattack!
Three: realistic enough! Whether it is exciting or bizarre, if it is separated from reality as a basis, all of them cannot be used for a long time, and they will not become classics at all. Because the classic definition is to be able to withstand the washing of time.
Such as the character of the queen mother. If Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian were to be directly connected to the line, it would be impossible to get recognition. why?
As early as Qinghe County, Pan Jinlian followed Wu Dalang, and the reason why the couple moved to Yanggu County was because, "A group of people did not have time to shout in front of the door: A good piece of mutton fell into the mouth of the dog!" Therefore, Wu Da did not live in Qinghe County, and moved to this Yanggu County Zishi Street to live in a house." (From "Water Margin" 23 times)
This proves that Pan Jinlian was initially very peaceful and confessed her fate, otherwise she would have caused trouble in Qinghe County! The reason for the sudden change is that she failed to seduce Wu Song, but this incident made Pan Jinlian break through her own bottom line and change. The second is that the queen mother intervened and became a "catalyst".
Also, isn't this also the case with Wu Song himself? For example, some people who have seen the original work of "Water Margin" have said: Wusong Jingyang Gang fights the tiger, it is basically a mistake to hit by mistake, he himself went to find death, forced into a desperate situation, so he is not worthy of being called a hero.
But the old people with stories all understand that this is the "reality" and the reality that can stand firmly!
If Shi Nai'an really wrote "Wu Song Fights the Tiger" and heard that the tiger eats people, Wu Song was indignant, he would not hesitate to fight the tiger and eliminate the harm for the people. It is estimated that "Water Margin" will become a "fairy tale", how can it be selected as one of the "four classical masterpieces"?
From the "three major sufficiency" of this Wusong effect, it can be seen that "sufficient reality" is the most important factor. Excitement and twists can rely on imagination to complete, but "realistic enough" must have a deep accumulation of life.
Therefore, the Water Margin River and Lake is the jianghu of life, and the martial arts of the good men and the things they fight and kill are nothing more than the embodiment of their livelihood skills.
Just like the small editor's livelihood skills, often referred to as "serious nonsense", it is a truth.
Understanding this, the question of "why Wu Song never singles out with first-class masters" can also be seen. There are no more than two reasons, one is very realistic, the other is very obscure!
Second, Wu Song's own situation is determined
Although Wu Song was able to kill the tiger in Jingyang Gang, like his later Feiyunpu counterattack, it was a desperate counterattack, and in order to survive, the small universe in his body was stimulated. In other battles, such as when the Lion Lou was fighting to kill Ximen Qing, Wu Song, who was holding a knife and taking full advantage, was actually kicked by Ximen Qing in Wu Song's right hand, and the knife kick would rise up and fall straight into the heart of the street." (From "Water Margin" 25 times)
Could Ximen Qing be more powerful than a tiger? Not at all, but determined by Wu Song's own circumstances. In other words, Wu Song belongs to the kind of pressure-resistant player, and the greater the pressure, the more he can play, even extraordinary. The opposite of Wu Song's situation is Hu Yanzhuo, don't care who comes, even if it is the third lady, he can give you a level, it is super stable.
Therefore, when facing Wu Song, you can't provoke him and come to fight with you. This is also the source of Wu Song's murderous energy. What is killing? It is not Li Kui's kind of indiscriminate confusion, but an inviolable atmosphere revealed based on reason.
Wu Song drunkenly beat Jiang Men Shen, he showed very clearly, Wu Song pretended to be drunk, first let Jiang Men Shen let down his vigilance, thinking that he was a drunk man (Jiang Men Shen saw Wu Song, and in his heart he first deceived him into getting drunk, only to rush in), and then beat Jiang Men Shen by surprise. At this moment, Jiang Men's divine fang was in chaos, and his judgment ability was also messy, and finally Wu Song sacrificed real kung fu, "jade ring step, mandarin duck foot", to solve the battle.
The whole fight process is actually all under the control and calculation of Wu Song.
The same is true of Fang La's killing of Bei Yingkui: bumping into the suspension bridge, being flashed by Wu Song, skimming the knife in his hand, grabbing his gun and grabbing his gun, only to drag it down, even people and military weapons dragged down the horse, and with a click, they chopped off Bei Yingkuo's head.
The key point is on the "suspension bridge", this small space, which limits the advantages of the warhorse, but it is exactly the place where the generals step down and play their specialties. Therefore, a clean and sharp knife is killed. Therefore, Wu Song set a precedent for stepping down and killing the immediate general.
At the same time, because Wu Song is a step general, and the Water Margin River is the stage of the immediate general, such as when the three giants of Erlongshan fought Hu Yanzhuo, Yang Zhi and Lu Zhishen both rode on war horses to fight hu Yanzhuo, and Du Wusong did not, it was for these two reasons.
First, Hu Yanzhao did not provoke Wu Song, so why fight hard? Second, the next step will be a natural loss to the immediate will suffer, Wu Song is not stupid, why should he strike strong with a weak blow? Therefore, it is not that Wu Song is not single-handed, but his own characteristics determine this result.
Whoever dares to provoke Wu Song is either dead or disabled, and in the face of such a heavy murderous person, who dares to provoke nothing? Later, on behalf of Erlongshan or Liangshan, the single challenge is basically the scope of work of the immediate general, and Wu Song is the next step will not need to single out, which is determined by reality.
Third, the protagonist of the Water Margin decides
Heads-up always means brilliant! That is, the protagonist becomes the protagonist in an instant. The real protagonist of "Water Margin" is Song Jiang. So, this is a very interesting phenomenon.
Before Wu Song became famous, he met Song Jiang at Chai JinFu, and then spent a few days with Song Jiang, before leaving together, only to fight the tiger in Jingyang Gang and open the "Wu Ten Times" in one fell swoop. So how did the wonderful "Wu Ten Times" end?
Let's look at the thing that Wu Song did after the blood splashed the Mandarin Duck Building.
Wu Song disguised himself as a touto from Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang and ran all the way to Erlong Mountain, but he got drunk in a hotel, followed him out of the hotel, and was annoyed by a yellow dog.
Wu Song was about to kill the dog, "With a sword in his left hand sheath, he strode forward... The yellow dog barked around the creekbank. The warrior slashes and slashes, but cuts empty... Crashing into the stream but not getting up... In the Winter Moon Heavenly Dao, although there was only one or two feet of shallow water, it was too cold to be true, and it would get up and get drenched in water. But I saw that the sword was soaked in the stream, shining brightly. Then when he squatted down again to catch the knife, he fell to the ground again, unable to get up again, but only rolled in the stream. ”
This is Wu Song's "tiger head and dog tail" saying. So why orchestrate Wu Song in this way? Destroy this tiger hero?
Because then in Kongjiazhuang, Wu Song was going to meet with Song Jiang again. How can he still let Wu Song be mighty and take away the glory of the protagonist Song Jiang, so he must be destroyed.
When Chai entered the mansion, Wu Song was unusually depressed and saw Song Jiang, thus opening wu ten times. After arriving at Kongjiazhuang, Wu Song still came to see Song Jiang again, thus ending Wu Ten Times - this is both the subtlety of "Water Margin" and the hidden revelation of a message.
That is: Takematsu "died" (as the protagonist), and there is no protagonist to add to it.
Under this pattern, how could Wu Song still run out as the protagonist and single out the first-class masters? It can only be a supporting role. For example, when the eight good men singled out Lu Junyi, Wu Song played three knives and then ran. It made Lu Junyi shout, "I won't rush you!" What a bitch! ”
It's not Wu Song "Ho Zu Michiya", but anyone, when someone else is the protagonist, he Zu Michiya!
If you understand this, you will also know that people are self-aware. When others are the protagonists, stealing the scene (single-handedly) requires strength and opportunity, and both are indispensable - this is actually what we need to understand the most!
