The origin of Liangshan heroes is quite complicated: there is a filial Saburo Sung River who is very popular in the Jianghu; There is a typical marginal figure in officialdom, Lin Chong, who can represent "I am not as good as a villain if I don't meet a wise master". Dissatisfied with Lu Junyi and Shi Jin, representatives of landlords and rich households; There is Li Kui JY, a black whirlwind representing the most rebellious spirit of the peasant class; There are representatives of Lu, who hate evil and are keen on being attacked; There is also a thunderbolt fire Qin Ming who was pulled up the mountain by Liangshan. However, most of the 100 single and eight generals in Liangshan are farmers. The original body of these heroes-farmers, has the following characteristics: they are at the bottom of feudal society; Exploited by the landlord class and the government; The heavy corvee burden does not get any power; Their right to life is always threatened, so they are the most resistant; The lifestyle of small farmers and the bondage of traditional ethics determine that these people can not put forward specific anti-feudal programs. It is this kind of consciousness that determines the ultimate ownership of Liangshan heroes. (1) The identity of "rogue" Throughout the ages, agriculture has been the pillar of our country. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "scholars, farmers and businessmen", which shows the importance of agriculture in China's traditional society. Land was the only means of production in ancient China, and it was also the basis for the landlord class to hold political power. In feudal society, landlords and princes occupied a lot of land resources and labor results. However, with the passage of time, a lot of land occupied by landlords and powerful people has been refined from generation to generation, and many landlords have also become the lower class close to farmers and the declining class without power, and together with the peasant class, they have become the small peasant class. Of the four people, only farmers suffer the most. Ordinary farmers suffer from taxes, corvees and tyranny, and landlords bully them, which makes people with peasant status the easiest factor to launch an uprising and resist society. Different from the ancient feudal dynasty in China, in ancient Roman society, slaves were the lowest class, not the poor. The poor have the right to vote, and they can use this power to obtain the means of subsistence (slaves are at the bottom of society, but they have no power, but they bear the production tasks of the whole society). Although they live in poverty, they still have power. They can decide how many rights they enjoy by voting. On the contrary, the farmers in China undertake most of the production tasks, with many corvees and taxes. At the same time, they do not enjoy any rights. Without any means of subsistence and the right to subsistence, they can only choose to leave the grass-roots social organizations and become hooligans who can obtain means of subsistence through "non-labor behavior" without labor. It is definitely not possible to travel alone, so the hooligans formed a group organization. These organizations are similar to the "Lindong Party" in the official field and the "Wuliangye" in the rivers and lakes. Water Margin is a unit parallel to this kind of organization. These people are linked together for the word "righteousness" in their hearts. Main characters *** 108 people. Different from the traditional hooligans, the "hooligans" in Water Margin have the following obvious characteristics: respecting the concept of "righteousness" and taking it as the creed of life, and carrying out strong practice; Do not follow the laws and ethics of orthodox society, but believe in the ethical relationship derived from "righteousness"; Advocate the logic of "winner is king" and emphasize that the strong have the right to dominate the weak. (2) The lifestyle of hooligans is different from that of the modern working class. Although ordinary people have a hard life, they are at least the most important factor of production in society. They maintain social ties and live a production-oriented lifestyle. Rogues are divorced from this social system. They refuse to work, but rely on this society to survive, because they want to "drink in a big bowl" and "eat meat in a big bowl" and enjoy a higher consumption level than ordinary wage earners. This lifestyle is not based on production, but in the form of consumption. In this case, why doesn't a rogue group that has nothing to do with society or even harms society die out? The reason is that the level of land cultivation in China can't be improved with the improvement of science and technology as it is today. Due to the existence of a large number of small farmers, agricultural technology in feudal society could not be improved rapidly. Coupled with backward land management, "three crops per mu" in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and "one stone per mu" until Song Shenzong, shows the low productivity. If drought and flood disasters are added, taxes and miscellaneous taxes are exorbitant, poverty will become a common phenomenon, and people will "become refugees if they don't farm". At this time, society will be in turmoil and hooligans will launch an uprising to fight. They come from the poorest life, so they are not afraid of death. They have no personal influence, but once they are in groups, they can cross the rivers and lakes and become a force. Their way of life is plunder, and the object is farmers who have no resistance and can bully at will. There are countless such organizations in history: the outlaws in the Western Han Dynasty, the Yellow Scarf Army in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Dou Jiande in the Sui Dynasty, Huang Chao in the Tang Dynasty, peasant riots in Fang La in the Song Dynasty, Liu Futong in the Yuan Dynasty and Li Zicheng rebels in the Ming Dynasty, all of which kept the central government busy. Most of Liang Shanbo's heroes are hooligans. They were originally farmers. Classical seven people are rich peasants in Yuncheng, who "love to make friends with heroes all over the world"; Gongsun Sheng is a Taoist priest and travels everywhere; Ruan Jiasan brothers make a living by fishing, and "used to be a private businessman in the garden" (private businessman, the ancients used the metaphor of private businessman killing people); Bai Sheng is an idle person; Liu Tang wanders in rivers and lakes; Wu Yong is a scholar; Which one didn't kill and steal goods? Therefore, most Liangshan heroes have no proper jobs and become hooligans. The Water Margin Group is a gang organization rather than a political party. It can be seen from its slogan that Liangshan heroes are United according to "loyalty", rather than being United by some idealism like political parties. This kind of children who are sustained by simple long-cherished wishes determines their development and outcome. Consumption-oriented * * The capitalist lifestyle directly starts from the fourth link of production, distribution, exchange and consumption, not the production link. Obviously, its consumer goods can only be obtained through plunder, and then redistributed to achieve the highest moral realm of "helping the rich and helping the poor"
