Life of the characters

Character origin

Wu Song is from Qinghe County. He has a brother named Wu Dalang. His parents died and he was raised by his elder brother Wu Dalang. Although the Wusong brothers were born to a mother, Wusong was eight feet long, handsome and had a hundred jin strength. Wu Dalang, however, is less than five feet long. His face is ferocious, short and ridiculous. He is nicknamed "three inch dinggu bark".

Pay homage to Song Jiang

Because Wu Song had been drunk in his hometown Qinghe County before and had a fight with someone, he mistakenly thought that he had killed another person. He was afraid of a lawsuit. He left his hometown and went to Cangzhou to hide in Chai Jin's house for more than a year.

Wu Song has been away from home for two years, always thinking about his brother. Song Jiang, who killed Yan Poxi at home, fled to Chaijin's house, where he met Wu Song. At that time, Song Jiang accidentally threw charcoal fire on Wu Song. Wu Song was angry and wanted to beat Song Jiang. After Chaijin gave Song Jiang's name, wu song was shocked and bowed. At that time, Wu Song knew that the person he "killed" was just in a coma and did not die. After a few days, he said goodbye to Chai Jin and Song Jiang and rushed to Qinghe County to find his brother. Song Jiang did not give up and became brothers with Wu Song.

When they went down the mountain, they ran into the hunters and came to Yanggu County Government together. They gave all the money to the hunters. The magistrate loves his loyalty and benevolence, and appoints him as the head of the capital. Later, he ran into his elder brother Wu Dalang. It turned out that when Wu Da married Pan Jinlian, many dissolute children came to harass him, so he moved to Yanggu County.

Pan Jinlian tried to seduce Wu Song, but was refused. He was seduced by XiMenqing, a wealthy local family. After the affair was revealed, they poisoned Wu Dalang. For revenge, wu song first killed Pan Jinlian and then XiMenqing. After the killing, Wu Song surrendered himself to the county government of Yanggu County. Because of the seriousness of the case, wu song was taken to Dongping mansion for trial. Chen Wenzhao, the official of Dongping mansion, pitied Wu Song for being a righteous man, so he changed the file lightly and sentenced him to assassinate Mengzhou.

Blood splashed on Yuanyang building

On the way to Mengzhou, Wu Song passed by the cross slope Hotel, saw through the Menghan liquor of Mu yecha sun erniang, and had a big fight with her. At the critical moment, Zhang Qing arrives at the vegetable garden and persuades them. The couple also make friends with Wu Song. In Mengzhou, wu song was taken care of by Jin Yanbiao Shi en. In return for his kindness, Wu Song beat Jiang Menshen drunk and helped Shi en recapture the "Happy Forest" hotel. However, wu song was also intrigued by the collusion of Jiang Menshen with the government and Zhang tuanlian, and was forced to kill. He made a scene in feiyunpu, splashed blood on yuanyanglou, and wrote "murderer, beat tiger Wu Song".

In the process of escape, Zhang Qing and sun erniang disguised themselves as "walkers" with hair. Zhang Qing and sun erniang asked Wu Song to vote for Erlong mountain. After that, he went to wugongling in the night and killed the king of wugongling in the grave. On the way, he knocked down Kong Liang because of misunderstanding, fell asleep when he was drunk, and was caught by Kong Liang by the river and tortured in Zhuangzi. Fortunately, Song Jiang, who was in Kongzi village at that time, cleared up the misunderstanding. After Song Jiang and Wu Song left Kongzi village, song Jiang was going to Qingfeng mountain, and Wu Song was going to Erlong mountain. Wu Song and Wu Song went to Erlong mountain respectively. Later, he became one of the three main leaders of the "rebel army". When the latter three mountains fought against Qingzhou, they returned to Liangshan.

After Lu Junyi ascended the mountain, wu song was one of the leaders who firmly let Song Jiang take the first place.

Textual research on the source

Wu Song is one of the thirty-six leaders of Song Jiang's subordinates in Yuan Dynasty.

In the song and Yuan Dynasties, Gong Kai wrote, "Wu Song, the traveler:

The five commandments are in your body. To be rich and lustful is to kill people.

”

These two literary works are considered to be the prototype or blueprint of outlaws of the marsh.

Among the yuan zaqu, there are operas written by Li Er, the scarlet letter, with Wu Song as the protagonist, such as "zhe Dan Er Wu Song Da Hu" and "Zhai Xiu Er Wu Song". There are also operas written by Lu Zhishen, in which Wu Song appeared as one of the heroes of Liangshan. In the early Yuan Dynasty, Gao Wenxiu wrote "Revenge of Wusong, the head of Shuangxian" (lost).

Some researchers believe that the blueprint of Wu Song in Outlaws of the marsh is drawn from Bian Yuanheng, the Minister of Zhang Shicheng's uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. The story of Wu Song's fighting against tigers in Jingyanggang comes from Bian Yuanheng's fighting against tigers.

Another local chronicle of Hangzhou shows that there was a tiha named Wusong in Hangzhou in Song Dynasty, who assassinated the son of Cai Jing, or was one of the sources of Wusong. This is the origin of Wusong tomb in Hangzhou.

In addition, some of Wu Song's stories, or in view of the stories of other characters, are similar to Sun Li's in qingsuo Gaoyi. Wu Song's words on the pink wall or Li Kui's words on killing people in Black Whirlwind shuangxiangong are used for reference.

Character appearance

The body is awe inspiring and the appearance is magnificent. One eye shining cold star, two curved eyebrows like painting. With a broad chest, it has the invincible prestige of thousands of people; with a high voice, it has the ambition of flying in the clouds. The heart is bold, like a lion shaking the sky down to the clouds; the bone is strong, like a rock on the ground. It is like the God of heaven.

The front hair covers the eyebrows, and the back hair is uneven. Soap straight like dark clouds cover the body, variegated tapeworm like flower Python entangled. The hoop on the forehead is bright, with bright eyes, and the patchwork jacket on the body is gorgeous, like iron and steel. Two swords, hold to kill the autumn; a hundred parietal bones, read the sad wind full road. Eating people, Luocha must bow his hand, and Dharma protector also frowns.

Praise poetry

120 copies:

Zhili cold, covered with black fog, ring hoop light shooting autumn frost. Cut your hair in front of your forehead, brush your eyebrows, and protect your head behind your head.

The parietal bone is white and the tapetum is yellowish. The cold light from both ends of the steel knife makes Wu Song a traveler.

Lu Zhishen has a Zen staff and two steel knives. The steel knife flies out of the fire, and the Zen stick comes like an iron gun.

The staff opens the head and the steel knife cuts off the waist. The two kinds of weapons are not sparing each other, and they stand out among millions of troops.

100 copies:

Yan Shi's voice is like Meng's taste, and like Dongge's talent. Wusong is fierce and fearless. Firewood flows everywhere.

If you are confident that you can kill a tiger, you can't win three bowls. It's so strange that brother Pao and sister-in-law Pao win a high reputation.

Reviewer evaluation

Jin Shengtan: one hundred and eight people, will test Wusong. Shi Qian and Song Jiang are first-class people, so they will take the exam Wu Song is a hero who is free.

Jin Shengtan: if you don't pay attention to the five words, it is said that the mind of sages and sages has become muddy, and they don't chase the east wind up and down madly.

Li zhuowu: I say that Duke Zhou is not his younger brother, but Wu Songfang is.

Wang Wangru: Wu Er avenged his brother. The court had its own way. How could he take the sword in the daytime and call on his neighbor to testify? He killed Pan Jinlian and XiMenqing, and then he took the blame for himself? Yin Jiu of Gaixian County pierced his nose for XiMenqing. He was oblivious to the evil and perverted the law. Wu Song knew that he could not get revenge, but he had to. So he tried to kill a tiger with his own hand, although he had no mercy on his life.

Yuan Wuyan: Wu Song's insistence on uprightness is not admirable, and his kindness is not appreciated.

Yu xiangdou: if Jinlian and Wusong eat beautiful meat, Wusong's heart does not regard color as his idea, and the whole way of human relations is true and righteous. Wu Song heard that there was a thief in houtang. Zhang Tuan Lian (capital supervisor) was very kind to him. I don't know if he was willing to help. Everyone was like this.

Other comments

Mao Zedong: we should learn from Wu Song in Jingyanggang. In Wu Song's opinion, the tiger on Jingyanggang is the same way to stimulate it or not. In short, it needs to eat people. Either kill the tiger or be eaten by the tiger, the two must be one.

Xia Zhiqing: according to the heroic creed, if a hero feels that he or his relatives and friends have been wronged, he must personally uphold justice,
