Keywords: Song Wu: The Water Margin Song Wu's image characteristics of loyalty and righteousness

The Water Margin is China's first novel praising rebellion, which is a precedent. The story of Water Margin originally originated in the Xuanhe period of the Northern Song Dynasty. As early as the Southern Song Dynasty before the publication of this book, the story of Song Wu was circulated among the people. With the popularity of Water Margin, the story of Song Wu has been more widely spread, and Song Wu has become a household name in China. Although Song Wu came from a humble background, he was loved, admired and praised by almost all readers and listeners, and became an example for people to learn when they bravely struggled with difficulties. Song Wu is one of the most successful characters in China's ancient novel Water Margin. People who have read this novel are deeply impressed by this character, and almost all articles commenting on the ideological content of Water Margin are based on Song Wu. Since The Water Margin spread for hundreds of years, the image of Song Wu has been deeply rooted in people's hearts. Song Wu was a strong man among ordinary people in feudal society. He is brave and fearless. He has done many things, and everything shows that he will not bow to any evil forces. He only relies on his own strength to avenge himself, and does whatever it takes to achieve his goal and safeguard justice. This is a hero. This kind of character was especially respected and cherished by ordinary people in feudal society. This paper mainly discusses the image of Song Wu from the following aspects.

First, be brave, bold and competitive.

"Fighting Tiger with Song Wu" is a colorful chapter in Water Margin. Song Wu drank 18 bowl of wine, ate 35 Jin of beef, fell drunk on the rock, escaped the tiger's attack and chop, and killed a white-fronted sword with a hammer-like fist, which was full of legend and romance. This amazing story of killing Caihu with his bare hands is amazing in itself, which embodies the author's ingenuity and whimsy in selecting materials and expressing heroic images. Jingyang gang killed the tiger, which concentrated on the strength and courage of Song Wu. Song Wu killed a tiger that hurt the lives of twenty or thirty important people with his bare hands. This is obviously the author's artistic exaggeration and idealization. However, after carefully reading the whole description of Killing the Tiger, I found that it is not divorced from life, which is reasonable and authentic.

First of all, the author used a lot of space to write about Song Wu drinking in a hotel. Drinking itself contains two components: reality and ideal. Most people get drunk after drinking two or three bowls, but Song Wulian didn't even get drunk after drinking eighteen bowls, and he ate four pounds of cooked beef. Drinking in a big bowl and eating meat in large chunks are the heroic qualities of Song Wu shown by the author through exaggeration. Readers can't help but naturally think that a hero with such a capacity for liquor is likely to kill a tiger. This is to pave the way for writing "Tiger Beating" later. This description is obviously idealistic. But on the other hand, it has its realistic foundation. Because wine can really be courageous. A person will become braver and bolder after drinking enough wine.

When the store told him that there was a tiger on the mountain and advised him to stay in the store, he said that people killed people for money. There is not only Song Wu's long-term life experience in the Jianghu, but also his violent, unreasonable and individualistic side. It is said that it is not afraid of tigers, but it actually contains bragging elements. However, Song Wu turned pale and dared to go to Jingyanggang. After all, he still has courage. But seeing the official announcement, he was timid and hesitated. At this time, the author's description of Song Wu's ideological activities and psychological state is excellent. Song Wu is competitive, loves face very much and has a strong vanity. He valued losing face more than losing his life, knowing that it was dangerous to go up the mountain, but he went anyway. This is his cowardice, courage for himself, stubbornly walked to Jingyanggang. This ambivalence fully reflects the personality characteristics of Song Wu. This is Song Wu's shortcoming and his heroic nature. If you write that Song Wu knows that there are tigers on the mountain, but he is not afraid or timid at all, the characters will become incredible because of the lack of life foundation. Look at how the author wrote Song Wu after the tiger appeared: "Song Wu was shocked by it and the wine turned into a cold sweat." I'm still afraid to see the tiger really coming. What's the effect of writing like this? Not only did it not damage the hero image, but it showed the hero better and more truly. Not afraid, not surprised, that's not a person, it's a god. Write tiger attack first, Song Wu defense. The tiger jumps, lifts and cuts, and Song Wu hides, flashes and flashes again. Although he was also afraid and surprised, he was not paralyzed by fear, but so alert and vigorous, and his neat dodge and evasion showed that he was a real hero. The tiger "loses half his breath if he can't catch three things." This description also conforms to the essence of life. Only in this case did Song Wu have a chance to turn to the counter-offensive. Shi Naian deliberately wrote that Song Wu broke his whistle stick and made him fight tigers with his bare hands to highlight the power of Song Wu. Next, writing Song Wu just lost half his whistle stick and held down the tiger with both hands. If one hand holds it down and the other hand hits the tiger, it is unreasonable. When "the tiger will pick up two piles of loess under him and make a pit", Song Wu will press the tiger's mouth into the pit, and then "steal his right hand and raise his fist the size of a hammer and hit it." "Fifty or seventy punches", the tiger was killed, but not dead. At this time, Song Wu returned to the Woods, found a half-folded whistle stick and killed the tiger. This is very correct, because at this time, Song Wu had no strength and could only kill the tiger with a whistle stick, because the tiger could not move at this time, and Song Wu was able to pull himself out and find the whistle stick. So far, the author has vividly demonstrated Song Wu's superhuman strength and martial arts.

Second, brotherhood is profound, precise and decisive.

After Song Wu discovered that Wu Da had gone astray, he carefully examined Pan Jinlian's body. An in-depth investigation was conducted on Uncle He Jiu and Brother Dan, and witness and material evidence of Wu Da's murder were quickly obtained, which showed his bold and cautious personality and rich experience in social struggle. Killing sister-in-law and offering sacrifices to brother is the most tortuous and complicated story in Song Wu, and it also fully shows Song Wu's character, which has always been loved by people. Wu Dalang, the elder brother of Song Wu, was a mediocre and cowardly vendor selling kitchen cakes, and he was only a family in the Song Dynasty. His low social status made him not only succumb to the rule of feudal government, but also dare not resist the bullying of treacherous floating children. He was insulted by his wife and swallowed it. He dodged everywhere, but disaster pressed him at any time, and finally he was killed. Wu Da is the image of the insulted and injured who was crushed at the bottom in feudal society. The readers' deep sympathy for Wu Da justified Song Wu's later revenge.

The complexity of Song Wu's revenge behavior comes from the scale of his opponents and their careful planning. Ximen Qing is a rich man who lives in peace. "Recently, he has been responsible for some official duties in the county. He has been arrogant with others, talking about money and dismissing officials. " He first bribed Wang Po with money and things to seduce Pan Jinlian. After poisoning Wu Da, he bribed the head of the team, Uncle He Jiu. After Song Wu complained, Ximen Qing sent money to the county magistrate to pay bribes. In this way, Ximen Qing laid a tight encirclement in front of Song Wu, which was connected internally and externally, colluding from top to bottom, so that Song Wu's efforts to search for witness material evidence and attempt to retaliate by legal means failed. Pan Jinlian is the central figure in this event. She bears a grudge against Song Wu because she lured Song Wu to be rejected. After killing Wu Da, she said to Ximen Qing: Wu Da died today, and I only rely on you to make a decision. "Be dead set and Ximen Qing formed a gang to deal with Song Wu. Her main strategy against Song Wu was to deny Song Wu's "immediate family rights". She said, "When I first married Wu Da, I didn't know I had an uncle, so I couldn't get there! "Song Wu wants to retaliate by complaining to the government. Pan Jinlian's forgery and sophistry will be insurmountable obstacles. Wang Po is also a key figure among Song Wu's opponents. Wang Po runs a teahouse and has contact with all kinds of people in the society, thus developing her character of being good at reading other people's psychology and being opportunistic by any means. She is rich in social experience, cunning and good at making suggestions. Needless to say, Pan Jinlian was trapped by her, and even Ximen Qing was completely trapped by her. The strategy she designed to deal with Song Wu can be said to be impeccable. What she is doing is "mowing grass, removing roots, sprouting without hair", which is quite vicious. She wants to poison Wu Da, burn the corpse and raise the ash, and destroy the evidence? If there is no trace, Wu Er will come back. How dare you? " In order to cope with the possible investigation of Song Wu, she quoted the feudal etiquette of protecting criminals: "Since ancient times, my sister-in-law has never asked questions. "Marry from your relatives first, and then marry from your body. How does uncle manage it? "Legalize illegal behavior. Under the social conditions at that time, it should be said that Wang Po's method might work. Under the assumption of Wang Po, Song Wu, who came back after leaving home for more than two months, would be in a state of destruction. Even though he knew there were grievances, he had no evidence, no confession, no complaint, no complaint, and watched Pan Jinlian and his gang "live in harmony with the elderly" in a miserable situation. In fact, this is exactly what happened after Song Wu came home.

The author shaped Song Wu into an extraordinary hero, so he was endowed with an extraordinary personality. His brave, strong and meticulous characteristics have been fully demonstrated in this incident. Pan Jinlian's seduction not only aroused his strong antipathy, but also immediately gave Pan Jinlian a stern refutation and firm warning. And let him see that his cowardly brother is not strong in the village, and the fence is not strong and in danger. That's what he said when he left. At this point, he is already the protector of Wu Da. He can not only foresee the danger, but also have full confidence to shoulder the responsibility of protection and have the ability to solve any trouble. So, when he came back from Tokyo, he heard that his brother had died. Instead of being sad, he sent out a series of questions: "When did my brother die?" What are your symptoms? Whose medicine do you take? "Listen to the lotus of Pan Jin and Wang Po's answer, he didn't refute. He returned to his residence, picked up "a wrist-relieving knife with a sharp handle, a short back and a thin blade" and began his revenge. If Song Wu's revenge should be carried out in a "legal" way like ordinary people, then his courage will not break Ximen Qing's network, his strength will not win Wang Po's good plan, and his strength will not stop the sophistry of spreading the golden lotus. You can only get the result of failure. What makes Song Wu stand out in the novel is that when his first appeal failed, he immediately lost his illusion about the feudal government and did not appeal to anyone. He just said, "Since" xianggong "is not allowed to complain, he will ignore it. "Immediately start his independent revenge-he will personally investigate the case, try the criminals and execute the judgment. What a bold move this is. He is not afraid of any enemy, and he is ready to remove all obstacles. It was his just act of desperate revenge for his brother that won the heartfelt admiration of countless readers.

Debate is not Song Wu's strong point. Confrontation depends on whether the government is just-Song Wu has found that the government is unfair. All Song Wu has is his magical courage. So, he gave full play to his shocking power, cut the gordian knot, and surprised Wang Po's good plan. Pan Jinlian's cunning braids have been crushed, and Ximen Qing's net can do nothing. All three criminals wanted their lives and successfully avenged their brother.

Third, kindness pays attention to loyalty.

After Song Wu killed the adulterer, although he committed the crime of murder, he was sheltered by the magistrate of a county, was given a lighter sentence and sent to Mengzhou prison city, and got some good results here. At first, Song Wu despised 100 gun killing, but he remembered those who pleaded for himself. In addition, he is kind to wine and meat. Although Song Wu didn't understand it at first, after knowing its meaning, he decided to take it out for good. This inevitably leads to the idea of gratitude. This is compared with the scenes described by other prisoners in the prison at that time. It is also reasonable for Song Wu to regard the exemption of bullies as a favor. ) Since Song Wu didn't pay attention to the gun-killing stick, then the kind intercession can only be counted as some water favors. But Song Wu attached great importance to this drop of water. I heard that there were many complaints about pity, but Jiang Menshen took over a happy forest for pity, and Jiang Menshen gave me a beating, which kept pity from getting out of bed for two months. Song Wu is keen and chivalrous. After learning the news, he immediately went to Jiang Menshen regardless of his physical condition. When he arrived at Happy Forest, he first found fault, then threw Jiang Menshen's wife into the jar, and then threw a bartender into the jar. Another bartender also received the same "gift" After Jiang Menshen came, Song Wu came to speak, but at that time, Song Wu's two big fists were empty in front of Jiang Menshen. Then his hands pressed it down, his right foot flew up and went straight for Jiang Menshen's eminence. Then that fellow fell, and Song Wu stepped into the step, stepped on his chest, waved his fist and landed on Jiang Menshen's head, ready to move.

Song Wu beat Jiang Menshen's kindness and took back the hotel, which showed his kindness, attached importance to friendship and drew his sword to help him. Be merciful to Song Wu and treat him with hospitality every day. Song Wu keeps this friendship in mind and will go all out if he has something to entrust. What we want to crack down on is the villain, as Song Wu said, "Just crack down on the tough guys and those who don't understand morality in the world." When Song Wu was elegantly invited to fight Jiang Menshen, Song Wu's words and deeds, such as "Say anything urgent, leave if you want, and wait for today and tomorrow!" If you want to leave, you will leave, fearing that he will be prepared. "This shows his frankness and impatience. Courage needs no analysis. What Song Wu did in Happy Forest Hotel also showed that he had a strategy. Strategy mainly refers to Song Wu's coarseness and refinement. For example, before leaving, "I asked for a small plaster and put a golden seal on my face" to avoid exposing the identity of the prisoner; Such as his "Fake Wine"; If you know that "this big fellow must be Jiang Menshen", you should ignore him first and go to the hotel first. All these indicate Song Wu's strategy.

Then there was blood spattering on the mandarin duck building, and when Feiyun was spreading, Song Wu knew that Zhang Dujian had set a trap, which caused him to be jailed and almost lost his life. At this time, he was furious and returned to Mengzhou with a bow. In order to wash away the grievances in his heart, he killed everyone, the groom, Zhang Dujian, Zhang Yongying, Zhang Dujian's wife, Zhang Dujian's children and Zhang Dujian. Out of the main hall, tied the front door, came back, and then found two or three, and killed them all. Although he killed a little too much, we can see the hatred, integrity and bravery of Song Wu's heroic image, so many readers ignored Song Wu's killing too much and appreciated his Liangshan heroic image more.

Fourth, the mind is clear and unique.

Song Jiang is not only Song Wuchong's eldest brother, but also his spiritual mentor. Song Wu followed Song Jiang and accepted it gladly. In the Water Margin, Song Wu was indeed the first person to propose wooing, but although Song Wu and Song Jiang had the same wooing idea, their purposes were different. Song Wu's heart only has the loyalty of "righteous brother" Song Jiang, so when he meets forgiveness, the first thing he thinks of is to find Song Jiang. His righteousness is heavy, and his love is true, which is obvious; Song Jiang realized the greatest value of life in the process of thinking about his official career, serving the country faithfully and making his name famous in history.

It is normal for Song Wu to have the idea of courtship, which comes from the environment and social reality of Song Wu. However, Song Wu gradually realized the reality, became firm and mature, and gave up the original intention of wooing the government troops. Song Wu fought with Song Jiang in the north. In this process, Song Wu had a different understanding of Song Jiang, and his trust gradually disappeared. There is a rift in their relationship. Song Jiang wanted to woo, Song Wu wanted to woo before, but now he doesn't want to woo. In the end, Song Wu parted ways with Song Jiang in the way of becoming a monk in Liuhe Temple, and made a complete break. The important reason for the complete breakdown of the relationship between Song Wu and Song Jiang is that Song Wu has his own unique views on the issue of wooing an. what does he want to do? "Song Wu doesn't understand the general will, and he has to shake his feathers vertically and horizontally." This poem gives the answer. Song Wu doesn't want to be pursued and bound. He wants to fly high. At the chrysanthemum meeting, Song Jiang wrote the word "Man Jiang Hong". Lehe hasn't finished singing, "I saw Song Wu shouting:' Today, we also want to win over, and tomorrow, it will cool our brothers' hearts! "In the face of an argument that" I hope the king will surrender a letter to woo at an early date ",Song Wu stood out from the crowd, and he did not let him.

Blindfolded by loyalty and righteousness, regardless of the attitude of "righteous brother" Song Jiang, he was the first to jump out and explicitly oppose wooing. This aloof and unyielding, even Song Gongming's brother whom he admired, is hard to shake, which is extremely valuable. Admittedly, the right or wrong of wooing can't be made clear in a few words, but after wooing, many Liangshan heroes lost their former elegance, especially after settling the wax, and even many people chose to give up following Song Jiang back to the DPRK to be an official and a knight, which can prove the profound knowledge of Song Wu. Song Wu's choice is not only correct, but also wise. The last different ending between him and Song Jiang is the most powerful proof.

The martial arts in the Song Dynasty in Water Margin are fearless and their spirit covers the sky. Like ordinary people, he loves and hates. His character is both familiar, enviable and more lovable. Song Wu "condensed the ideal of beauty of people's heroes". He is a tall and perfect image of "harmony between man and nature". He is so happy that he goes his own way, so he can be generous, repay his friends, retaliate against his enemies, be a "ruffian" hooligan, drink in a big bowl, kill people and set fires. Although Song Wu has many disgraceful places, people can forgive him. People still appreciate his shining side, and we will love our Liangshan hero as always.
