Chai Jin was a descendant of Chai Rong, emperor of The Zhou Dynasty, and after Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiao mutinied and seized the power of Later Zhou, they did not kill the Later Zhou imperial family, but gave Danshu iron coupons and gold and silver money, so although the Chai family had no power, they could still live a rich life. In Chai Jin's generation, he liked to make friends with heroes and good men in the world, often fought for righteousness and neglected wealth, and there were not a few people who received his help.
We know that in "Water Margin", there is another person who also earns a good reputation by fighting righteousness and neglecting wealth, he is Song Jiang, who is nicknamed "Timely Rain".
Why is Chai Jin's fame far inferior to Song Jiang's? Let's try to find the answer from the original text of "Water Margin".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Chai Jin to help Wu Song</h1>
Wu Song lived in Chai Jin Zhuangzi, and the Water Margin records this:
The younger brother was in Qinghe County, because he was drunk after drinking, he fought with the secrets of this place, and for a time he became angry, only one punch, and beat him to a drowsiness. The younger brother only said that he was dead, so he fled all the way to the high official's office, hiding from the disaster, and now it has been more than a year. Later, I inquired about it, but I did not die, but I was saved. I was about to go back to my hometown to look for my brother, and I didn't want to get malaria and couldn't leave to go back.
Wu Song was ill and could not return to his hometown immediately, how Chai Jin treated him, the book records:
When Wu Song first came to join Chai Jin, he also generally accepted to be treated. After the second time, he was in Zhuangshang, but he was drunk and had a strong temperament, and the dealer was a little careless, so he was going to punch them. Therefore, the full of villagers, none of them said that he was good. The people just hated him, and they all went to Chai Jin and told him that many were not in place. Although Chai Jin did not chase him, he only treated him slowly.
Originally, when Wu Song first came to join Chai Jin, Chai Jin was only treated generally, without special preferential treatment, and later because Wu Song was drunk and had conflicts with other dealers, his attitude towards Wu Song became more and more indifferent. Unpopular and suffering from malaria, Wu Song was really depressed!
Looking at how Song Jiang helped Wu Song, after watching it, we have to admire Song Jiang's behavior in the world, and we know why all the good people in the world want to see Brother Gongming and are willing to serve him.

Wu Song was ill, and Song Jiang asked for warmth, and the book recorded:
However, Song Jiang had to take him to a place every day, drinking and accompanying him, and Wu Song's previous illness did not occur.
Song Jiang killed Yan Boxi at that time, and in order to avoid the lawsuit of human life, he also came to defect to chai daguanren. He is famous, and Chai Jin is naturally given special treatment. He knew that Wu Song was a hero of the fallen, and he also knew that it was better to add flowers than to send charcoal in the snow, so he took Wu Song with him every time he feasted.
Later, Wu Song really missed his brother Wu Dalang in his hometown, and could only say goodbye to Song Jiang.
To bid farewell to Wu Song, Chai Daguan only gave wine and food plates, and Song Jiang personally sent out Lao Yuan, which is recorded in the book:
Wu Song said goodbye, "Brother Zun is far away, please come back." Chai Daguan must be dedicated. Song Jiang said, "Why don't you send a few more steps?" "I said some gossip on the road, and I didn't realize that I had passed three or two miles again." Wu Song hugged Song Jiang and said, "Brother Zun doesn't have to send him away. As the saying goes: 'Send a thousand miles to the king, and you must say goodbye.' Song Jiang pointed, "Allow me to take a few more steps." There is a small hotel on the Vulture Road, and we ate for three minutes to say goodbye. ”
Wu Song said goodbye twice, and Song Jiang insisted on sending him off twice, which was to touch the softest place in Wu Song's heart. Wu Song should have thought so, how honorable Chai Daguan was, he was just a warrior, but he had been treated so favorably by Song Jiang, so the first time he said that Chai Daguan would be waiting for Song Jiang, and Song Jiang still insisted on sending him off, he was very useful, which would make him feel that Song Jiang regarded him as more important than Chai Daguanren. The second time, Wu Song really did not want to go, and let Song Jiang go back with "sending jun thousands of miles, and finally having to say goodbye", using a "bang" word, which showed that Wu Song was more grateful and close to Song Jiang. When Song Jiang said to continue to send a few steps, Wu Song was simply moved, identified Song Jiang as a brother, and prostrated himself as a righteous brother.

Chai Jin's righteous and unjust wealth is simply giving money, and there are also different treatment of people; on the other hand, Song Jiang, he knows when giving favors can make people more grateful to Dade, and knows that in addition to giving money, they also need to make friends, so that they can make friends.
