1. The book describes the story that Song Jiang led 108 people gathered in Liangshan Park at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the government was corrupt, and the officials forced the people to rebel, so the people had to rebel. From court officials to ordinary people, even partisans, they were slightly disillusioned with the government, and it was difficult to maintain their survival. Finally, they were forced to rebel. However, when the heroic deeds of the people's uprising made the morale of the heroes increasingly high, Song Jiang's acceptance and acceptance changed everything, making this vigorous water margin uprising a complete failure, making these 108 water margin heroes disappear into the world, and making the once surging peasant uprising so calm.

2. The Water Margin is the first novel describing the peasant uprising. Focusing on the clue that "officials forced the people to revolt", the book shows the whole process that a group of "heroes" could not bear the oppression of tyranny and gathered in Liangshan, Shui Bo, until they accepted the appeal and the uprising failed. The most brilliant feature of this novel is that it fully affirmed the peasant uprising that the feudal rulers regarded as "thieves and bandits" and profoundly revealed the social roots of the peasant uprising: that is, ministers such as the emperor and Gao Qiu were tyrannical and incompetent, which led to the poverty of the people and the sharp and gradual deepening of class contradictions.
