The character characteristics described in Water Margin are based on life, and with the development of life contradictions, his personality will also change. Lin Chong's personality change in Water Margin is well written and well founded. Why has he changed? When will it change? They all start from life, which is the realism of the Water Margin.

In the Water Margin, Lin Chong has a prominent personality: he can endure, bear the burden of humiliation, swallow his voice and dare not resist. In general novels, to completely idealize a positive character, it is often necessary to write out his advantages from the beginning. But Water Margin is different. Lin Chong is a famous hero in The Water Margin, which is amazing and warmly praised by the author. However, as soon as he appeared, he wrote out his weaknesses and personality weaknesses. The bad side is that he can endure, submit to humiliation, submit to humiliation.

(1) one of the "endure":

An 800,000 imperial coach, whose wife was molested in broad daylight, is unbearable. So he was very angry. "At that time, Lin Chong pulled over and pulled his shoulder blade, but he recognized that it was Gao Yanei, the official, and he relented first." The word "soft first" is worth noting. This is not a simple description of ordinary people's actions, but a sudden excavation of people's inner world. Therefore, Lin Chong was still angry when writing novels. When he knew, he pulled over and relented. But "the anger didn't go away, and I looked at that Gao Yanei with my eyes wide open". But dare to anger but dare not speak, dare to anger but dare not speak, he endured this tone. The novel is very well written here, showing the inner activities of the characters.

At this time, the comparison between Lin Chong and Lu: Lu doesn't buy it, and Lu has a famous saying, which is in sharp contrast with Lin Chong. He said, "But you are afraid of him, and Cudgel is also afraid of him." "If I bump into that bird, I will teach it to eat 300 mord sticks of Cudgel." One is to bear the burden of humiliation and be afraid of things; One is hate. One is that they are insulted and oppressed and dare not resist; One is that you can't bear to see your friends oppressed. The personalities of these two people are in sharp contrast.

2 "forbearance" 2:

Next, I still want to write about Lin Chong's peace and forbearance. But if you want to be safe, you can't be safe. If you want to endure it, you can't bear it. So the novel goes on to say that Gao Yanei bribed Lu Qian to let Lu Qian trick Lin Chong's wife into his house upstairs. Hearing this, Lin Chong "took a knife to untie his wrist" and "went straight to find Lu". He picked up this wrist knife not to find Gao Yanei, but to find Lu Qian. In other words, Lin Chong has begun to resist, but the extent and scope of resistance are limited. You should go to Gao Yanei. There are two meanings here. First, I'm still afraid of Gao Yanei, afraid of provoking him. Like I said before, give him a break this time. This is the second time, he has patience again; Second, this is about Lin Chong's emphasis on righteousness. That is to say, Lu Qian is Lin Chong's sworn brother, and he is also the treacherous person Lin Chong hates most. Loyalty is a very beautiful and precious thing in Lin Chong's character. This is a very important factor that he can change in the future, and it is very revolutionary after the change.

(3) The third part "forbearance":

After Lin Chong was sent to Cangzhou, he could bear it, but he still endured humiliation. This novel is very wonderful here. He wrote a divorce letter before he left. I think this paper has two contents. On the one hand, it shows Lin Chong's kindness and consideration for his wife. On the other hand, he also wrote his tolerant character, which is also naive. Do you think Gao Yanei won't come after writing the divorce papers? Come as usual. So these places, on the one hand, write about his kindness and arouse readers' sympathy for him, on the other hand, arouse readers' more hatred for evil forces.

(4) The fourth "forbearance":

In the match with Cangzhou, there was a plot: two policemen, Dong Chao and Xue Ba, who were detained, abused him all the way and asked him to wash his feet with hot water. Even the reader couldn't bear it, but he still "endured". Later, he went to the Wild Pig Forest, where Dong Chao and Xue Ba were entrusted by Gao Qiu and Gao Yanei to kill Lin Chong. By this time, Lin Chong didn't even think of killing him (Song Wu had already thought of sending someone to kill him when he arrived at Feiyunpu), so tie him up. Another person, such as or jy, would never say such a thing in this situation. Lu Shen Zhi saved him and tried to kill two workers, but Lin Chong tried to stop him. At this time, he still endured and didn't want to resist.

5] "forbearance" five:

Shortly after arriving at Cangzhou prison camp, he learned from Li Xiaoer that there were several "embarrassed people", so he bought a sharp knife to relieve his wrist. He searched the street for several days but couldn't find it. He "slowed down" and "endured" the past.

Cangzhou prison camp arranged for him to go to the forage field, which was a conspiracy. Lin Chong didn't know that he was going to "change a plasterer in the city on a sunny day" and "God bless me and burn paper money another day". I think I will give him a good job and live safer there. Finally, the forage field was set on fire. Suddenly, I heard Lu Qian talking in the temple in the mountain, so I had to collect the bones and go back to Gao Qiu to receive the reward. At this time, Lin Chong flew into a rage, opened the gate of the mountain temple, went out to kill several people, and then rebelled up the mountain, thus realizing a complete transformation.

Summary: Lin Chong walked a very hard road, and Lin Chong walked a very long and hard road. There are many foreshadows for the author to write about Lin Chong's transformation. For example, he and Lu Qian were good friends and became sworn brothers. Later, Lu Qian hurt him, so he once told Lu Qian: "My good brother didn't know that a person has a skill, but he didn't meet a wise master, so he gave in to a villain, so he was so angry." In other words, he is full of injustice under the oppression of the ruling class. This sense of injustice is the basis for Lin Chong to move forward step by step and finally realize the ideological change and rebel up the mountain. Although he was an 800 thousand imperial coach and a middle official, he was oppressed as soon as he appeared. Therefore, although he is a figure of the ruling class, his position is similar to that of the oppressed people, which is a basis for his transformation. Lin Chong was tolerant of those who oppressed and insulted him, but his opponent did not let him go. If one plan fails, another will be born. The dark forces and evil forces in that society are constantly pressing on him, so he is very dissatisfied and has an air of injustice.

Comparison of several Liangshan figures "going up the mountain":

The process of Lin Chong going up the mountain is such a transformation process, from forbearance to intolerance, from cowardice to strength, from humiliation to resistance. Lin washed away a very difficult road and mountain. "Water Margin" describes characters, different heroes have different personalities, and the road to the mountain is also different. This different path is related to his personality, his family background and his life situation. Li Kui jy is the happiest on the mountain, Song Jiang is the most tortuous, Lu is the most hearty, and hearty and happy are not exactly the same; I have no foresight at all, and I am sad and happy. It is very clear that an official cannot be a monk and a monk cannot be a mountain.
