Now I will start from here and briefly analyze the image of Lin Chong in Water Margin:
First, love your wife.
The appearance of Lin Chong deserves our attention, that is:
Lu: Tao:&Why did coach LDQu come here today? & amprdqu
Lin Chong replied:&; Ldqu is only with humble Jing, and I still hope that the incense will be in Yue Temple. Hllip& amphllip I don't want to meet my senior. & amprdqu
It can be seen that Lin Chong loves his wife, who goes to the temple and is accompanied by her husband. What a good escort! This phenomenon is rare in feudal society where husbands have high power. If there is, it is common that the wife is strong and the husband is weak, and the husband is often forced to leave. But Lin Chong does not belong to this situation. Lin Chong is a hero, and his wife is also an innocent girl at home. You can see this from the narrative of the novel!
Lin Chong was just about to become sworn friends, having a drink and chatting, when he got a report from the servant girl Jinjiang:&; Ldqu, the lady shut up with others in the temple. & amprdqu Lin Chongwen &; Ldqu hurry up&; Rdqu Farewell to New Brother Lu,&; Ldqu hurriedly climbed over the wall and ran to Yue Temple with brocade. & amprdqu here is a&; Ldqu hurry up&; rdqu，a &； Ldqu is in a hurry & rdqu shows Lin Chong's anxiety and his wife's position in his heart! It should be noted that in the feudal society where brotherhood is concerned, what is popular in society is:&; Ldqu brothers are brothers and wives are clothes. & amprdqu became sworn brothers, from gentleman to Shu Ren, and valued his wife. In addition, Lin Chong is another ldqu loyalty &; Rdqu, a hero who values himself. However, although Lin Chong attaches great importance to the brotherhood between friends, he also attaches great importance to the feelings between husband and wife. Wife is as important as brothers and friends in his heart, which is actually unusual in a feudal patriarchal society. Among the heroes in Water Margin, such a deep relationship between husband and wife is rare, such as Song Jiang and Yan Poxi, Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian, Yang Xiong and Qiao Yun. , all turned against each other because of alienation.
The most telling thing about Lin Chong's love for his wife is that Lin Chong was framed by Gao Qiu, stabbed to death in Cangzhou, and bid farewell to his neighbors and Lin Chong's husband Zhang:
& ampldqu& amphllip& amphllip I saw all the neighbors and Zhang, Lin Chong's father-in-law, in front of the building, and then, with Lin Chong's two workers, they went to the state bridge and sat in the bar. & amphllip& amphllip Zhang asked the bartender to arrange wine and fruit &; Hllip& amphllip Lin Chong held hands and said to his father-in-law:&; Ldqu is on Mount Tai, which was a disaster last year. It attacked Gao Yanei and filed a lawsuit. There is a saying today, from Mount Tai, that I have loved Mount Tai by mistake for three years and have never made any mistakes. Although I haven't had more than half a child, I haven't blushed at all and I haven't argued. Today, the villain is in trouble, his life and death are not guaranteed, his wife is at home, and his heart is unstable. I am afraid that Gao Yanei will bully this marriage; At a young age, Hugh missed his future for Lin Chong. However, Lin Chong advocated it himself, not forced by others. I'm here today, and I understand that divorce is not a dispute. In this way, Lin Chong lost his mind for fear that Gao Yanei would frame him&; hllip& amphllip& amprdqu
From this passage, we can see a true hero with indomitable spirit! What a touching and affectionate man this is! When he was framed and stabbed to death in exile, he thought not of himself, but of his wife. What he wants is how to prevent his wife from being framed by Gao Yanei in his absence! How many men are ashamed of this gentleness? Not to mention in the feudal society where the husband's power is supreme, even in today's civilization, how many rich and powerful people are proud of their wives and abandon their wives and beat them! Lin Chong's remarks can really be circulated through the ages! This is gentle, friendly and sincere!
Second, chivalrous and courageous, help the poor and help the poor
At & ldqu Water Margin &; Rdqu heroes, many of whom are rude and prone to murder, are mostly so, even though the authors are deeply loved by readers, such as Lu and jy. Although brave and chivalrous, there are also careless acts of killing people without a word. The strongmen who open black shops, rob merchants and sell human flesh buns are not uncommon among heroes of Water Margin 108. Strictly speaking, although those people are forced by their livelihood or the government, that is, they are helpless, but they are not heroes or heroes after all, nor can they be said to be courageous. The reason why the compilation of Water Margin wrote about them should also be the fact of peasant uprisings in past dynasties. In the peasant uprisings of past dynasties, the phenomenon of mixed fish and dragons often existed. Some of them plead for the people, and some plead for heaven. Some people fish in troubled waters and brag about their desire to kill. But Lin Chong is not like this. He never thought about bravado and killing people easily. Many times, he has a bodhisattva heart, saving lives and helping people out many times. For example, in Tokyo, when he was the head coach of 800,000 imperial guards, he was exempted from the lawsuit of Li Xiaoer, a wine student. This is the narrative in the novel:
& ampldqu& amphllip& amphllip Li Xiaoer was caught stealing money from his master's house when he was in Tokyo earlier. He wanted to send a lawsuit to plead guilty. However, Lin Chong advocated companionship and was free from lawsuits. After spending some money with him, I can get rid of it and I can't get better in Beijing. Thanks to Lin Chong, I sent him the travelling expenses and went to find someone else. & amphllip& amphllip& amprdqu
There are several points worthy of our attention in this confession in the novel: first, the rescued Li Xiaoer is just a wine student. In the current jargon, he is probably a waiter in a hotel teahouse, rather than a hero with high martial arts advertised in the novel. His previous relationship with Lin Chong should be average, at least not the relationship between fellow villagers, old friends and relatives. Second, after Li Xiaoer's bad things, it is&; Ldqu Delinchong advocates accompanying words &; rdqu。 & here; Ldqu advocacy and research. The word should be&; Ldqu advocates a plan &; Rdqu means that it's not that Li Xiaoer asked Lin Chong for help (because Li Xiaoer knew that Lin Chong was the coach of 800,000 imperial guards, and Li Xiaoer was just a wine student, whose status was very different, and neither of them could find it, even if he found it, it was broken), but that Lin Chong was kind, compassionate and took the initiative to settle it. Among them, Lin Chong naturally has this qualification and power, as an 800,000 imperial. With him, Li Xiaoer himself can avoid the trouble of the lawsuit. At that time, it was really a great kindness to a gentleman like Li Xiaoer, not to mention Lin Chong's accompanying words, losing money and travelling expenses, and pointing out the maze for his livelihood. Lin Chong's kindness is really touching!
