Why does Water Margin have two authors, one is Shi Nai an and the other is Luo Guanzhong

The buddy upstairs has to be authentic.

Who is the author of "Water Margin", from the Ming Dynasty to the present, there are three theories: the first theory is that it was written by Luo Guanzhong, that is, the author of "Water Margin" is Luo Guanzhong; The second theory is that "Water Margin" is a collaboration between Shi Nai'an and Luo Guanzhong, which is a lot of opinions, and it is also the opinion of the Ming Dynasty; The third statement was written by Shi Nai'an alone. This was also seen in the Ming Dynasty at the earliest, but relatively late.

That's especially Jin Shengsi's book. After it became popular, because it was preceded by a preface of a fake Shi Nai'an, that preface was fake, and it was written by Jin Shengxian himself.

What era and place is Shi Nai'an? What about his life? It's a pity.

Nothing is known about Shi Nai'an's life and deeds. The only thing we can determine is that he was from Hangzhou, Zhejiang, which was called Qiantang at that time. Why do we conclude that he was from the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties?

That's because his collaborator can be sure that his collaborator is Luo Guanzhong. Luo Guanzhong was from the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties, so the collaborators were from the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties, and Shi Nai'an was of course also from the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties. This author and era are so determined.

However, I only know that his surname is Shi, and his name is not called Nai'an, and Nai'an is either a word or a number. So according to this clue, an opinion can be put forward for everyone's reference. It is not possible to say that he has 100% evidence to be established, but it is just for your reference.

In other words, Shi Nai'an may be a beneficiary. Shi Hui was a dramatist in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, who wrote southern opera. The earliest person we know of this view was Wu Mei, a master of Qu Xue.

Wu Mei said in his book "Old Fun Talk" that Shi Nai'an is Shi Hui, the author of the Nanqu "Moon Worship Pavilion".

Shi Nai'an collected and repaired by Luo Guanzhong.
