Name source

In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhang Heng, a righteous man in Taihang Mountain, once gathered people to fight against Jin. Zhang Heng in the novel outlaws of the marsh may be mixed with his image. in the song and Yuan Dynasty's "Xuanhe legacy of the great Song Dynasty", there are "fireboat worker Zhang Cen" and "yizhangqing Zhang Heng" among the 36 subordinates of Songjiang. In addition, it is mentioned that the pirate Li Heng may be the prototype of Zhang Heng. The story of Xuanhe in the great Song Dynasty is regarded as the prototype or blueprint of outlaws of the marsh. In the Song Jiang 36 people's praise, which is considered to be another prototype or blueprint of the outlaws of the marsh, Zhang Heng is also in it, nicknamed "boat fire". Gong Kai, the author, also attached a praise: "there are six Taihang heroes in their thirties. There is no such fire, and the number is not enough."

Elegant nickname

Boat fire is the rower. "Song Hui yao ji draft" volume 183: "each of the four joint sales workers, shake four, with fire four." Jiang Xiufu of the Northern Song Dynasty wrote in the Journal of Jiang Lin Ji: "in the Jiangnan Festival, the envoys summoned the prime minister, and ordered their sons to set up a group of maidservants to argue with them. The prime minister said:" on the forehead of my wife, I have yellow Qi. " All the maidservants looked at him and told him. "It's also a technique that can be used to argue who is a" spirit man "because of the mixture of fire and spirit. There are water ripples on the cloud surface." It can be seen that in the Song Dynasty, except for the helmsman, other boatmen could be called "Huoer". some people think that "fire" connects with "Gang", which refers to the small leader of the same occupation. "Boat fire" refers to a group of leaders who make boats.
