On Lin Chong, it seems that there are three figures in the Three Kingdoms: Zhang Fei in appearance, Zhao Yun in skill, and Liu Bei at the beginning.

When it comes to the similarity between Lin Chong and Zhang Fei, some people may feel abrupt. They think that the imperial coach who is cautious and humiliated in the water margin is not as good as the fierce and reckless Zhang Fei in the Three Kingdoms. To say that Li Kui jy is no worse than Zhang Fei. However, readers should still remember what Lin Chong's nickname is "Leopard Head". On his seventh appearance, he said that his appearance was "leopard-headed, with eyes and moustaches, eight feet long", which was exactly the same as Zhang Fei's appearance in The Three Kingdoms. Lin Chong, the head of the leopard, is ",which shows that the screenwriter of Water Margin may want to write Lin Chong as Zhang Fei in the Water Margin Edition from the beginning, and even infer that we can't see the water margin story circulated by the people in the early days before the water margin was written. Perhaps Lin Chong is really a Zhang Fei-style character (Lin Chong's name is in the" Da Song Xuan He Legacy "and his nickname is already). There is already a fierce Zhang Fei-style black Li Kui jy to write (in Yuan Dynasty) For example, the image of jy in Li Kui is very close to that in Water Margin, so he rewrote the life story of an 800,000 imperial coach and injected some deep feelings into the story that are different from those of Lu, Liu and other rebellious figures.

Ladies and gentlemen, do you still remember how Lin Chong, the coach of the 800,000 imperial army, was driven to the mountain road step by step? It can be said that Lin Chong is the only person in the water margin who is strictly driven to the Liangshan Mountains. From the beginning, Water Margin tells the similar fate of two similar figures-Wang Jin and Lin Chong: both of them are imperial coaches, both of them are good at martial arts, naive and kind, and both of them are ideal national heroes, but they are persecuted by Gao Qiu, a frivolous rogue villain who kicked himself away. One of them was driven out of the house and the other was driven out. The narrator of Water Margin repeatedly compares with the treacherous rogue Gao Qiu, expressing his deep helplessness and resentment against the dark political situation in which Huang Zhong was abandoned, Wafu condescended and he didn't deserve it.

This is actually a very old helplessness and resentment. As early as Qu Yuan's Li Sao, it has been circulated and written in poems, plays and novels for thousands of years. Because the fate of Qu Yuan's exile has been staged again and again for thousands of years, the fate of Yuefei Fengbo Pavilion has been staged again and again. The story of Wang Jin's expulsion, Lin Chong's persecution and Song Jiang's final poisoning in Water Margin has been staged again and again for thousands of years.

This pattern of "clouds covering the sun" (a sentence in Nineteen Ancient Poems, often used by the ancients as a metaphor for evil spirits ruling the country) is actually an eternal problem in the autocratic era. By telling the story of Lin Chong, Water Margin expresses deep and extensive concern about this cloud that covers the sky. With this concern, and as the background and prelude to the violent resistance of many heroes later, Ode to a Strong Man in Water Margin has been improved in character. Therefore, it can be said that the stories of the Snow Temple and Lin Chong's Night Running in Water Margin are completely different from the legendary stories of rebellious heroes such as Lu, Zhu and others. In addition to drinking in a big bowl, eating meat in large chunks and enjoying gratitude and resentment, they did not show their arms and sang a solemn and stirring and generous voice alone in the water margin world.

In addition, in a more general sense, the story of Lin Chong in Water Margin also conveys the profound taste of China people, especially the talented and kind China people, for life depression.

Lin Chong's depression comes not only from Gao Qiu, a powerful villain, but from all kinds of people: First, he was framed by Gao Qiu and almost asked to death; After a narrow escape, he was sent to Kaminooji, tortured by two scum, Dong Chao and Xue Ba, and then tied to the wild pig forest, almost killed by a stick; When I arrived at Chai Jin Villa, although Chai Jin was very enthusiastic about me, I still had to laugh at Hong, a cocky mediocrity. When I arrived at Cangzhou prison camp, I was scolded by the poor because I was a little slow to get money. A Buddha was born and a Buddha ascended to heaven. Lin Chong resigned himself to all this, but Liu came to Cangzhou to kill him. Finally, Lin Chong could bear it no longer. In the cold snow-capped mountain temple, the "bandit soul" deep in his soul, like a sleeping lion, woke up in the heavy snow all over the sky, jumped on the killer in the light reflected from the burning forage field, and blood splashed on the snowfield in front of the mountain temple, leaving a blood-white picture.
