"Loyalty" is said everywhere in Water Margin, but only Lin Chong and Lu Da are truly loyal to their friends. The leaders under Song Jiang are all brothers. However, most of them are not soul mates and equal friends. Either the master-servant relationship between Song Jiang and Dai Zhong, Li Kui jy, Lu Junyi and Yan Qing, or the mutual utilization relationship between Song Jiang and Wu Yong and Chai Jin; More is Jong Li, Zhou Tong, these interests "allies" for their own security. 100 people, some people have no friendship. Lu Junyi, for example, may have no brotherhood with Bai Sheng, who is of humble origin and has no skills. He and the big official Chai Jin will hit it off; As die-hard poets, Lv Fang and Guo Sheng will not make friends with Xiao Yi; When Du Qian and Song Wan died, Saburo gave a compliment, and there was no record of talking with them before. Under this underworld structure, which is under the banner of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, and the leader is absolutely authoritative, three brothers, such as Ruan, Sun, Caiyuanzisha and Du Xing, have a serious relationship with their master and servant, especially when they flee. Lu and Lin Chong, not snobbish friends or blood-related compatriots, got to know each other and forged a life-and-death friendship.
The friendship between Lin and Lu is snow in the mountains, blue in the valley, and the bright moon after the clouds open and the fog clears. In the grass, there are such Boya and hippo chefs.
When Song Jiang first met Song Wu, he said, "Wu Erlang's name has been heard for a long time in the Jianghu, but I didn't expect to meet you here today. How lucky, how lucky. " A few days later, he took out money to make clothes for Song Wu. When Song Wu left Chai Jin's house, Song Jiang sent people to send money. Song Jiang met Li Kui jy for the first time, and he paid off his gambling debts. "Good brother, but want to use money, you just come and ask me. Since you obviously lost to him today, come and give it back to him. " Then Li Kui jy was invited to drink in a big bowl and eat meat in large chunks, which won the praise of Li Kui jy: "What a brother Song, you can know the character of being a brother without being ugly. It is not a waste to worship this brother. "This is not so much making friends as buying. -Song Jiang can buy an urchin like Li Kui jy, because urchins can often get it with a toy, but they can't buy Song Wu. So Jin Shengtan commented: "He met all the heroes in the world. At the beginning, there was no clear sky and bright moon, no peaceful spring rain and no straightforward summer court. Just silver. "
Lin Chong and Lu met, which coincided with Lu's mord. Lin Chong applauded: "Make it good at last." As soon as they became friends, they met Gao Yanei's wife who molested Lin Chong. Lu wanted to punch for help, but Lin Chong persuaded him to stop, and he couldn't bear it. As soon as Lu Da saw Lin Chong's wife, he immediately shouted like Lin Chong's brother for many years, "Sister-in-law, don't be awkward, don't laugh. Brothers meet tomorrow. " This abrupt behavior shows Lu's magnanimous and sincere character, and at first glance, it is the same. There is love at first sight between men and women, but there is no real friendship between men. -once said that Lu may have a crush on Lin Chong's wife. I dare not deny this speculation, but I prefer to think that this is because Lu really regards Lin Chong as his own brother, so there is no excessive gift.
Compared with such "friends" as Lu, Lu shows the scarcity of real friends in the world. After Lin Chong strayed into the White Tiger Hall, he was stabbed in Cangzhou and was secretly escorted by Lu for thousands of miles until Lin Chong escaped from danger. Lu's words in the Wild Pig Forest are full of tears when read.
"Brother, since I bought a knife with you, cudgel will let you suffer. Now that you have been sued, I have nowhere to save. I heard that you were separated from Cangzhou, and Cudgel couldn't find it before Kaifeng House. It is said that it was in the envoy's room. Look at the bartender again: "there is an official in the shop who wants to talk." I'm afraid these guys will harm you on the road, so I'll follow you later. Seeing these two birds, I will take you into the shop, and our family will rest in that shop. I heard at night that those two guys are playing tricks to earn your feet by cooking soup. At that time, I was going to kill these two birds, but there were many people in the inn, and I was afraid that I would be saved. Cudgel sees these guys are up to no good, and the more I let you go. When I went out at the fifth watch, my family came to this forest first. You killed this fellow and two birds, and he came to harm you just to kill this fellow and two birds. "
This passage can not only show Shen Zhi's sentimental ambiguity, but also show his coarseness and delicacy. This friendship can move the world and make ghosts cry. Can Ann be described by the word "Jianghu friendship"?
Judging from the way of matchmaking, Lin and Lu left for Wan Li. They didn't exchange information, but friendship can never be separated by time and distance. Until the 59th time, after the tiger returned, Lu asked Lin Chong, "Cudgel has missed my sister-in-law every day since I became a coach. Have you heard any news recently? " Wang Yi thinks this is the evidence of Ji Yai Shin's sister-in-law, and I think this is the reason why Shen Zhi is a friend.
I deeply understand Lin Chong's truth. He knew that Lin Chong loved his wife deeply. After the game, he left his wife alone in Beijing. Naturally, he couldn't help worrying. Ask his sister-in-law if she really cares about his friends the most. Sung River is afraid that Li Kui will rebel again. In order to maintain his honor, he did not hesitate to poison Li Kui JY. This is not friendship, but the greatest selfishness. He thinks Li Kui jy is his private property.
Li Bai met Du Fu and Chang 'an, and soon broke up. Four years after Tianbao briefly met in Shandong, they drifted apart, separated by mountains and rivers, but that friendship was unforgettable in their lives. Du Fu lived in Qin Zhou when Li Bai was exiled to Wang Yong. Du Fu was worried about Li Bai's safety: "A cold wind is blowing from the distant sky. What are you thinking, old friend? ? Goose never answers me? Rivers and lakes are flooded by rain. " When Li Bai died in Dangtu, Du Fu was in his twilight years, but his yearning for his friends did not diminish. I think of the scene of him traveling with Li Bai's young single father: "Looking back across the river, youth has been destroyed. It's not as good as a lush day, and there is no return to the elderly. " Only when we know each other can we have such a friendship that has become stronger and stronger over the years. The friendship between Lin and Lu is comparable to that between Li and Du.
Both Lin and Lu have great wisdom and compassion.
Lin Chong loves his wife, his friends and his career, and is compassionate. He is an excellent instructor, not only with outstanding professional level, but also without ambition, and does not go along with most people in officialdom. Exquisite as he is, he still follows the path of Gao Taiwei. Gao Taiwei and Lu really used Lin Chong's "weakness" of being loyal to his duties, caring for the weak and loving his job to lure him into Baihutang. First of all, Gao Taiwei sent someone to pretend to be a strong man in the Jianghu to sell knives, which aroused the sympathy of Lin Chong, a professional soldier who loves advanced weapons. After Lin Chong bought the knife, he sent someone to let Lin Chong take it to Qiu for observation. Lin Chong, whose first duty is obedience, naturally refuses. Rao is how talented Lin Chong is, and I can't believe that people are so vicious. After Lin Chong was stabbed, for the sake of his wife's safety and happiness, he said to his father-in-law, "It's just that Lin Chong is worried and wasting his time." Also wrote a divorce:
"Tokyo eight hundred thousand imperial coach Lin Chong, because of a felony, and Cangzhou, was spared. There is a young wife, Zhang, who is willing to set up this divorce and remarriage, and there will never be any disputes. The Committee is voluntary, that is, it is not compulsory. There is no evidence after fear. This article is about a photo. "
What is true love? This is true love, sacrifice yourself and think of each other. Zhang's married husband died without regret. Such sincere feelings make nature jealous. It is the phrase "deep feelings don't last long".
Shen Zhi wants to kill Dong Chao and Xue Ba, and these two workers want to hurt him. He thought it was just Gao Taiwei's instigation, so he felt sorry and stopped Shen Zhi. Fire and Wang Lun, Lin Chong is willing to use it for the great cause of Liangshan; After the death of Classical, Liangshan was leaderless, and Lin Chong stepped forward and made Song Jiang the acting boss, thus avoiding the division of Liangshan. The most critical moment of Liangshan's two developments was Lin Chong's great contribution. He retired in a low profile, not for personal gain. When Wang Lun asked him to kill an innocent passerby as a "warlord", desperate Lin Chong must be very sad. A law-abiding court official must go to Liangshan and kill innocent people to be accepted by bandits. What does it mean to a person who loves feathers? Later, I met Yang Zhi, who had the same experience. The two were neck and neck, and the "warlord" never brought it. -This is Shi Naian's love for this real man. Lin Chong, even if he has fallen into the grass, his conduct will be noble until his death.
Lu was lonely all his life, but he was a real "flower-protecting monk". Several major turning points in his life are related to the protection of women. And only know how to kill women, while Lu pities women everywhere. After listening to Jin Cuilian's crying, he killed Kansai Town in a rage, which forced the prefect to flee to other places and finally became a monk. On the way from Wutai Mountain to Tokyo, I stayed at Liu Taigong's house for the night. I heard that Zhou of Taohuashan was going to rob Taigong's daughter, so I lurked in the girl's boudoir and gave the bully a good lesson. Finally, I made Zhou Tong swear not to harass the Liu family. In the crock temple, Cui Daocheng and Qiu Xiaoyi who raped civilians with Shi Jin were killed. I have been in the Jianghu for so many years, and I have always been very concerned about my sister-in-law's personal safety. And the wisdom of saving history is also caused by women. He Taishou robbed the painter Wang Yi's daughter "Yujiao Niang", and Shi went in to assassinate Taishou and was arrested. Shen Zhi went to save Shi Jin. For friends in the Jianghu, Shen Zhi is also in vain. When he borrowed money from Shi Jin and Jong Li to help Ada's father and daughter, he blamed Jong Li for his unwillingness and gave Jong Li two pieces of silver. Beat Zhou Tong in Taohua Mountain. But after stealing Hu's BMW, he was attacked by Qingzhou officers and soldiers, and he had to ask Erlong for help. Zhou Tong is also worried: "I am afraid that the monk will remember what happened at the beginning and not come to save." Jong Li understood Shen Zhi's meaning: "Otherwise! He is a straightforward and good man. If people go, they will lead troops to save me. " Although Jong Li is stingy, he knows people well. When Zhu Wu led the troops to Shaohua Mountain to save Shi Dalang, he slaughtered cattle and horses for entertainment. Usually, he said, "Brother Shi is not here, we won't eat a drop of wine! You can sleep all night if you want, but go to the state tomorrow and kill that guy. " "You are so slow straight niang thief, gave a historian brothers! It's just that life is in his hands now, so drink carefully! " -What a lovely, respectable, amiable and credible "flower monk"! Lu has always been unusually calm about John Woo's fate.
Because of wisdom and kindness, even if drinking, eating meat, killing people and setting fires, it is still related to Buddhism. Among thousands of shamans who fast and recite Buddha, the wise elders in Wutai Mountain can only see that wisdom is deeply rooted in wisdom, not because of Mr. Zhao's recommendation. Sitting in front of the Qiantang River, he wrote a poem: "I don't cultivate good fruit all my life, but I only love killing people and setting fires." Open the golden rope abruptly and break the jade lock here! Hey! The letter from Qiantang River came, and today I know that I am who I am. "Life is like a spring tide, and it rises and falls in an instant. Without great wisdom and compassion, how can you see the clouds and see the sun in this way? When Master Hongyi knew that he was about to get rid of that stinky bag, he wrote a suicide note to disciple Liu Zhiping, one of which said, "A friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. Hold the image and ask for it, thousands of miles away. Stone asked, profile son forgot to say. Man Chun is full of flowers. "
True friendship is the friendship between gentlemen, and true Buddhism is as light as water. Real people like Lin Chong and Lu, if born at the right time, can contribute to the border court and make their names immortal. Or even if it is not reused, in a normal modern society, it can win respect by its own skills and conduct and live a normal and happy middle class life. Unfortunately, they live in a society where right and wrong are reversed, where good citizens are eliminated, where elites are stifled, and where human nature must be sacrificed in order to survive and excel. Especially like Lin Chong, he can't be a professional officer who loves his job, nor can he be a good husband who loves his family and protects his wife. Like Lu, Fu 'an and Fu 'an, they either sacrificed their conscience and insulted their own conduct, or they fawned on the powerful and sought greatness. Or you can only be a bandit who kills and sets fires. They have no middle road to choose from. This is the sorrow of Lin and Lu, and it is also the sorrow of Dasong.
Of all the people in the water margin, only Lin Chong and Lin Chong know loyalty, and only Lin Chong and Lin Chong know womanhood. They are destined to be lonely and sober, no matter in officialdom or Jianghu. They are unfortunate, but fortunately, two lonely people have a precious friendship and can comfort each other.
The Water Margin describes the peasant uprising. The leading members are not only peasants, but also rebels in all aspects, including the rebels of the ruling class. Lin Chong is a figure who split from the ruling class and defected to the peasant uprising team. He is the commander-in-chief of the 800,000 imperial army. The most important characteristics of his character are patience, obedience, humiliation and no resistance. The identity and manners reflected in his appearance show that he is a very important figure. Then he introduced that he had a beautiful young wife who lived happily. This is very different from Lu without family and property.
As soon as Lin Chong appeared, the author put him in a sharp and fierce conflict to show his ideological character. He took his wife to the Yue Temple to burn incense, watched Lu get lost in thought, and was molested by Gao Qiu's adopted son. An officer's wife was molested in broad daylight, which is a great shame and absolutely intolerable. But when he learned that he was going to hit that person, he saw that it was not someone else. It turned out to be Gao Yanei, who relied on powerful people in Tokyo and deeply loved his wife and daughter. At this moment, the book said: "At that time, Lin Chong pulled the general over, but he realized that he was in charge of Gao Yanei, so he relented first." The so-called "this tube" is the direct superior. The words "be soft first, then be firm" are not a simple description of the characters' demeanor, but dig out Lin Chong's inner world. When he brought twenty or thirty people to help him tear it, Lin Chonghe said two simple words. Lin Chong said, "It turned out to be the official's son of Gao Taiwei. I don't know Jingfu. There has been such a saying since ancient times: if you are not afraid of officials, you are afraid of management. Lin Chong doesn't like his invitation, so let him eat it once. " But he said, "You're afraid of being in charge, and the whole world is afraid of it! If I meet that bird, I will teach him to eat 300 sticks. " Please see: one is ashamed of things, and the other is jealous of evil; A person can tolerate persecution of himself, but can't tolerate persecution of others. What a sharp contrast between the two personalities.
The dark social forces that Lin Chong felt very dissatisfied kept pressing on him, which made him want to be safe but not peaceful, and he could not bear it. There is no way to go, and this finally embarked on the road of resistance. Lin Chong's wife was humiliated and swallowed up. Bribery, cheating Lin's wife upstairs, trying to insult her. After Lin Chong heard the news, he also put up with it. Here is a description worth noting: "Lin Chong took a sharp knife to untie his wrist and went straight to Liu". I couldn't find it, so I went home to Lu Qian and waited for him all night. Lin Chong began to resist. He went to Lu Qian instead of Gao Yanei because he was afraid of Gao Yanei. Second, because Lu Qian is his good friend, and friends should be loyal, he is very angry at the bad behavior of treachery and can't tolerate it. Loyalty is the good side of Lin Chong's character. There are several spots in the novel, which were later sent to Cangzhou for re-dyeing. When it merged with Wang Lun, it broke out and shined brilliantly.
With the support of Gao Qiu, Gao Yanei lured Lin Chong into Baihutang and sent him to Cangzhou, forcing his wife to run away from home. At this time, Lin Chong still endured and wrote a divorce certificate to his wife, which not only showed Lin Chong's kindness and loyalty, but also showed his innocence. In the wild pig forest, when Lu tried to kill two murderers who wanted to kill him, Lin Chong pleaded with Lu for them. His forbearing character really makes readers unbearable. It was not until later that Liu Cai set fire to the forage field. When he heard with his own ears that he was going to pick up a bone from him and go back to give it to Gao Taiwei as a reward, he really couldn't bear it. His anger finally broke out, killing traitors and rulers, and finally breaking up and resolutely rebelling. The reason why Lin Chong's personality characteristics and changes are so well-founded, reasonable, true and natural is that this ideological character is rooted in the soil of reality. Character comes into being in real life and develops and changes in the contradictions and struggles in real life. This is the genius of the description of the characters in Water Margin, and it is also an outstanding artistic achievement of realism.
