1. Song Jiang has several nicknames. What do they mean?
Everyone in Water Margin has nicknames, such as Zhi Duo Xing Wu Xingyong, Black Cyclone Li Kui jy, Leopard Head Lin Chong and so on, while Song Jiang has several nicknames. Song Jiang, nicknamed Black Song Jiang, Black, Timely Rain, Hu, etc. Now explain it in the order before and after the nickname appears.
1, Koichi Kursaburo: This is from Song Jiang's handling of family relations. Song Jiang's handling of family relations is mainly filial piety, especially for his father, and other things will not be detailed.
2. Timely Rain: It mainly means that he is ready to help others. There are 25 such narratives in Water Margin, which shows the heroic nature of Song Jiang to some extent.
3. Hu: Until today, we still can't give a satisfactory explanation. According to textual research, it is related to an official name in the Song Dynasty. Most scholars believe that this nickname reflects Song Jiang's attitude towards the imperial court.
Second, how to evaluate Song Jiang's life?
In the evaluation of Water Margin, there are different views on Song Jiang. Jin Shengtan was the first to comment. He said that Song Jiang was an inferior person, and he was very righteous. Song Jiang himself said: black in appearance, short in stature, born in a small official, he can't be literate, can't be convinced by force, can't be tied with the strength of a chicken, and can't be an arrow (Chapter 68 of Water Margin). Explain that Song Jiang still has self-knowledge. To tell the truth, I don't know Song Like Jiang, but we should judge Song Jiang from the reality and rationality of his works, not from his personal likes and dislikes. Now I will analyze Song Jiang's family background, education and occupation.
1. The influence of Song Jiang's birth and occupation on his thought, personality and life path.
When Song Jiang appeared in the novel, he said that he and Song Taigong (Song Jiang's father) were farmers in the village, lived in some rural areas and worked as escorts in Yuncheng County. He is proficient in knives and pens and officials. ……。
Song Jiang studied Confucian books since childhood, received traditional education, and entered the society to be a escort (petty official) in the county government. He is proficient in knives and brushes. His birth experience and personality enable him to understand and experience the sufferings of the people, have a sense of justice, develop a cautious and resourceful attitude, and like to play politics. Because he is a small official, he knows the law and has the habit of obeying it. After Song Jiang arrived at the water margin, he dealt with the problem comprehensively. Some people say that he is hypocritical and plays politics, which is his way to deal with problems. Such as capturing Qin Ming and ceding Lu Junyi. After he committed a crime, the yamen put a cangue on him. Others flail, he said no. This is a national law.
2. Before going to Liangshan, Song Jiang was a hero and a classic of benevolence and righteousness. When there was a contradiction between law and righteousness, Song Jiang ignored statutes. He made a certain contribution to the cause of Liangshan. He killed Yan Poxi when he gave the Liangshan hero the last straw.
After Song Jiang went to Liangshan, he became the leader of the rebel army. He himself says that he has no advantage in both civil and military skills. Why can he be the leader of the water margin? This is because Song Jiang has the following advantages: he has a certain appeal in the rivers and lakes; Caring for brothers and trying to save them when they are in trouble; Have certain organization and military command ability, such as Sanda Zhujiazhuang Campaign. He paid attention to summing up experience, starting with investigating the actual situation, and broke up Zhujiazhuang and the other two alliances.
4. After Song Jiang was recruited, he became a loyal minister of the imperial court. His idea is to contribute to the country and ensure the safety of the people. After the death of Chao Gai, Song Jiang changed "Juyitang" to "Loyalty Hall", which was a great event for the insurgents and a key for Song Jiang in Water Margin. After he was called up, he changed the banner of "doing good for heaven" in Liangshan to "protecting the country according to heaven", and also changed from a rebel leader to a subordinate who obeyed the court. At this time, Song Jiang's thought is: I love the country, the emperor represents the country, the court does not live up to me, and I do not live up to the court. He didn't listen to the dissuasion of Wu Yong and others, and went to woo Fang La, the leader of the rebel army, and played miserably.
5. Tragic ending. After Song Jiang led Fang La, there were 27 heroes left in the original 108, and the rest were either sacrificed or left. The court didn't trust him and killed him. Before Song Jiang died, he was afraid that Li Kui jy would rebel again and let Li Kui jy drink medicinal liquor and get poisoned.
Song Jiang's life is tortuous. First, he is a hero and a Liangshan hero. After joining the army, he became a loyal minister of the court and finally had a tragic ending.
Third, what do you think of Song Jiang's acceptance of "woo"?
1, Song Jiang's acceptance of woo has a historical basis, not created by the author out of thin air.
In the 32nd chapter of Water Margin, it is said that woo was put forward by Wu Songxian, and Song Jiang agreed. There are stories about courtship in history, but it is only about 100 words, and there are quite a few scenes in the novel, and the plot is very specific.
2. The stories of Song people and folk stories describe Jiangdu in Song Dynasty.
There are records of courtship in Xuanhe's legacy of the Great Song Dynasty, and there are also courtship contents of Song Jiang and others in folklore stories.
3. What do you think of Song Jiang's acceptance of harness?
This is related to Song Jiang's contradictory personality. On the one hand, he is a heroic hero and the leader of the rebel army. On the other hand, he wants to serve the court and be loyal to the monarch and the people. However, it is consistent for Song Jiang to want to woo, unlike Song Wu, who proposed it at first, but when Song Jiang proposed to woo, Song Wu was the first to stand up against it. Song Jiang insisted on wooing and serving the imperial court until death do us part.
In the thirty-ninth chapter of the Water Margin, Song Jiang wrote an anti-poem: The heart is in Shandong, the body is in Wu, and the heart is floating in Pengjiang Lake. When she was young, Ling dared to laugh at Huang Chao's husband. I think this is because he is drunk, but it doesn't represent what Song Jiang really thinks.
Four, about "two kinds of" Water Margin "and" two sung rivers ".
This was put forward by a scholar of Hubei University.
1. From the perspective of typology, this statement is not completely in line with the reality of novel creation.
2. The key is how to treat Jin Shengtan's addition, deletion and modification of Song Jiang's image.
Jin Shengtan changed the Water Margin from 120 to 70 chapters. During this period, he made a lot of revisions to the original text, including additions, deletions and changes to the novel. It should be said that he contributed to the spread of Water Margin.
Song Jiang is a controversial figure in Water Margin. People have different opinions about him for many years, but while we hate and criticize Song Jiang, we have to admit that Song Jiang is one of the most successful and representative figures in Water Margin, and he has a lot of room for future generations to comment.
