Li Kui jy, a water margin figure, was dark and rude, nicknamed Iron Bull, and was called "Black Cyclone" by Jianghu people. He ranked 22nd among Liangshan heroes and was the fifth leader of Liangshan troops. Song Jiang was sent to Jiangzhou, and Wu Yong wrote to Jiangzhou Senate and House of Representatives to take care of Dai Zhong. At this time, Li Kui jy was a soldier guarded by Dai Zhong, and he knew Song Jiang. Dai Zongchuan Liangshan fake book was caught, and Song Jiang was taken to the execution ground to be beheaded. Li Kui jy took the lead in waving an axe and killed everyone. He was very brave. After climbing Liangshan, he longed for his mother and went back to Yizhou to meet her. When crossing Yiling, her mother was eaten by a tiger. Li Kui jy was very angry and killed four tigers. When courting, little Li Kui didn't want to be courted. He made a scene in Tokyo, tore up the imperial edict, tried to kill the imperial envoys, and cut down the apricot yellow flag of the water margin, in order to counterattack Tokyo and seize the emperor's seat for Song Jiang. Sung river stopped him many times.
After Li Kui established its capital, it established Zhenjiang Runzhou as its capital. After drinking Gao Qiu's poisoned wine, Sung River thought that after his death, Li Kui jy would surely gather people to revolt, fearing that the reputation of loyalty and loyalty of water margin would be broken, so Li Kui jy was poisoned after drinking the poisoned wine.
Li Kui jy behind the surface
-Comment on Li Kui jy in Water Margin.
In Water Margin, Shi Naian created a group of outlaws who roamed the Jianghu and were brave and good at fighting. They have their own unique personality and the growth path of being caught up with Liangshan. Lu Da's generosity and integrity, Song Wu's courage and agility, thoughtful, Lin Chong's tolerance, Song Jiang's humility, Wu Yong's resourcefulness and so on all left a deep impression on me. But among them, Li Kui jy, the "black whirlwind", left the deepest impression on me. Maybe you will say, "Li Kui jy? It's just that you are bold, straightforward and loyal! " But today I want to talk about Li Kui jy in my eyes.
The cuteness behind barbarism
As we all know, Li Kui jy is the most savage and rude character in Water Margin. Because he only knows how to kill people, and he doesn't ask whether the role is good or bad. As long as his name is mentioned in the Jianghu, ghosts and gods are afraid. But I think his savagery is extremely cute.
Different from other 107, Li Kui jy became an outlaw in Liangshan, not out of loyalty to the revolutionary cause and thorough revolutionary thought, but just for the sake of two words-"happiness".
It is not far-fetched to say that Li Kui jy's behavior mainly follows the principle of happiness. The word that Black Whirlwind often talks about is "happiness"! After he chopped Huang Wenbing, he said, "Eat me happily." After he killed Hu Sanniang's family, he said, "Eat me happily." Killing is not for revenge, not for the needs of war, just for happiness! In addition, when Li Kui jy came home to pick up his mother, he met his brother Li Da and advised Li Da to "go up the mountain with him". Even the Black Whirlwind was praised, that is, when Li Kui jy went to Liangshan for the first time, he shouted, "We have many military horses, so we rebel. What are we afraid of?" Brother Chao Gai became the great emperor, and brother Song Jiangge became the little emperor, ... and killed Tokyo's Birdsource. This remark is far from the noble motive of radical revolution, because there is a crucial sentence just after the sentence of "seizing the bird seat": "It's not good to be happy there, but it's not good? "
To put it bluntly, this is the purpose. Killing Tokyo to seize the bird's nest is not waiting for the rich and the poor, not fighting local tyrants to divide the fields, but drinking bigger bowls of wine and eating bigger pieces of meat. This is the thought of Li Kui jy, and there is no such thing as a firm peasant thought.
In short, Li Kui jy's behavior is almost entirely on the word "happy", without any rationality, calculation and willfulness, so his behavior has a childlike side, so it makes sense to say that he is cute.
Second, the attachment behind loyalty.
Maybe you will think that Li Kui jy can follow Song Jiang to the death, work hard for him, and help him take the country for himself because of his special loyalty to Song Jiang. But I think it is not so much loyalty as attachment. Because for Li Kui jy, he also needs a yardstick of value, a spiritual father who can confirm the meaning of his existence. You must remember how ecstatic and excited he was when Song Jiang, whom he admired for a long time, appeared in front of him. And Song Jiang also sent money, took Li Kui jy to drink, and laughed off his reckless behavior. You say you need money to pay your debts, so I'll give you money to pay your debts. You said that the small lamp was not enough to eat wine, so you ordered the bartender to change the big bowl for you. Seeing that you didn't eat enough fish, you asked for two pounds of meat. When you left, he also sent 521 pieces of silver. How many people in the world can treat the rude, arrogant and cruel Li Kui JY like this? ! There is only one answer.
I still deeply remember Song Jiang's imprisonment for anti-poetry. Li Kui jy was afraid that he was greedy for wine and missed Song Jiang's dinner, so he "didn't eat wine at all, only served in prison in the morning and evening, never leaving his pocket". What a mutual affection this is. It is unique that the crude black Li Kui jy can do this, and this fear is much more difficult than that he later gave to the court by jumping off a building for robbery. Later, one of them said, "He and I have the strongest feelings." The other said, "I dare not scold him in my dreams. When he wants to kill me, let him kill me. " When Song Jiang 1 month took several people to Tokyo, they once joked with Li Shishi that Li Kui jy was a "home-born child, Xiao Li". Therefore, Li Kui jy's affection for Song Jiang is neither brotherly nor subordinate's loyalty to the commander-in-chief, which is closer to the child's deep attachment to his father.
The perfection behind the three difficulties
Throughout the complete works of Water Margin, you will feel that Li Kui jy is a "troublemaker", because his reckless personality and simple mind do not know how many disasters have been caused to everyone. This can be seen from the result of Song Jiang's personal behavior towards Li Kui jy. After drinking Gao Qiu's poisoned wine, Sung River thought that after his death, Li Kui jy would surely gather people to revolt, fearing that the reputation of loyalty and loyalty of water margin would be broken, so Li Kui jy was poisoned after drinking the poisoned wine. But look deeper, but behind Li Kui jy's troubles lies Song Jiang's fulfillment.
Mr. Xia Zhiqing said in "Introduction to China's Classical Novels" that Li Kui jy clamored for rebellion to support Song Jiang as emperor, "which expressed Song Jiang's desire to be emperor", while Song Jiang's reprimand of Li Kui jy "seems to be condemning the ulterior part of his heart". Xia Zhiqing's conclusion may be inspired by Jin Shengtan. When Jin Shengtan commented on Water Margin, he always thought that Sung River was a hypocrite full of loyalty and filial piety, while Li Kui jy, whose stomach was straight, often shouted out Sung River's ulterior motives. Didn't he fulfill Song Jiang?
Looking through some of China's ancient novels, we will find that this combination of "Song Jiang+Li Kui jy" is too common in China's ancient vernacular novels with similar themes. For example, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, Yue Fei and He, He and Cheng. Song Jiang, Liu Bei, Yue Fei and Yang Liulang all have a common feature, that is, they are cautious and rational, and they are models of China. But you can imagine, if the characters in the works are all Song Jiang, Yue Fei, who was strangled by a bad king and didn't resist, Yang Liulang, who was framed by a traitor and resigned, and Qin Qiong, who knew that McCullough was killed and didn't dare to say more, if the characters in the works are all China models who submit to humiliation, won't the readers suffocate? then what At this time, people like Li Kui jy are needed. Dare not scold Tang heartless, let Cheng scold. Yang's family suffered a despicable attack from the villain, so he let the villain be killed overnight. Yue Fei is not convenient to rebel against the bad king, but Niu Hao can rebel, and Song Jiang always talks about wooing, but he wants to be emperor, so Li Kui jy cried out to grab the emperor's bird seat. ...
Although the so-called "boorish" character like Li Kui jy is generally not the first protagonist in large-scale works, he is an indispensable and extremely active role in the works, because he not only perfected the "boorish" Song Like Ginger, but also added more than half of his life to the works!
This is Li Kui jy—— in my eyes-cuteness behind barbarism, persistence behind loyalty and perfection behind troubles. Maybe my point of view is not necessarily correct, but I hope that after reading this article, you won't say, "Li Kui jy? It's just that you are bold, straightforward and loyal! "
