The Water Margin is one of China's four classical novels. Taking the peasant uprising in the Northern Song Dynasty as the background, the social contradictions and people's sufferings at that time were revealed by describing the images and stories of Liangshan heroes. This paper will discuss Water Margin from the following aspects.

First of all, the justice of Liangshan heroes. In the novel, in order to resist oppression and exploitation, Liangshan heroes rose up against the government and attacked bullies and corrupt officials, which is just. However, some people think that the behavior of Liangshan heroes is too violent and does not conform to the values of modern society.

In this regard, I think we should understand the behavior of Liangshan heroes from the historical background and social environment at that time. At that time, the people were oppressed and exploited, and only through resistance could they gain freedom and equality.

Second, the unity spirit of Liangshan heroes. In the novel, although Liangshan heroes come from different classes and backgrounds, they unite as one and resist oppression. Modern society lacks this spirit of unity. We should learn from the spirit of unity of Liangshan heroes and build a better society together.

Finally, the evaluation of Water Margin. As a literary work, Water Margin has extremely high artistic value and social significance. It not only depicts the social contradictions and people's sufferings at that time, but also shows the complexity and richness of human nature. At the same time, Water Margin also has an enlightening effect, which makes us realize the importance of unity, justice and courage.

In a word, Water Margin is a literary work of great significance. By describing the images and stories of Liangshan heroes, it shows the social contradictions and people's sufferings at that time. We should evaluate Water Margin from many angles and draw lessons from it, so as to provide beneficial enlightenment for the development of modern society.
