The Water Margin?

The author of this book-Shi Naian. The Water Margin is one of the four classic novels in the history of China ancient literature. Its author is Shi Naian, but its title is Luo Guanzhong. The Water Margin was originally named "Biography of the Hawker in the Jianghu", but Shi Naian was always dissatisfied with this title. Luo Guanzhong suggested using Water Margin, which he thought was very good. He said that "the water margin is the water margin, which means' opposition'", so it was officially named "Water Margin". This book describes the peasant uprising in Liangshan Lake, Shandong Province led by Song Jiang at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, and truly reproduces the whole process of peasant uprising in feudal society from occurrence, development to failure.

This book also portrays the heroic images of a large number of peasant uprisings such as Lu, Lin Chong and others. (In addition, among the four classical novels, only A Dream of Red Mansions is the work of the Qing Dynasty, and its three largest books are The Journey to the West in chronological order. Note: The history of the Three Kingdoms belongs to history books, not novels)

Who is who?

In the revised edition of 1568, the author clearly stated that the purpose of this book is to describe "the process of artistic regeneration". The word "rebirth" is not only the theme of his whole masterpiece, but also the cornerstone of his historical view and artistic judgment standard.

For the first time, he regarded architecture, painting and sculpture as a whole, instead of always dealing with them in isolation like his predecessors.
