Northern song dynasty. In the last years, Song Weizong was mediocre, the eunuchs were in power, and the people were not happy. Shandong Yuncheng to Song River.

Led by 36 people, they started a surging peasant uprising, killing the rich and helping the poor, and performing chivalrous deeds, which terrified the ruling class and made the broad masses of the people applaud. The rebel army continued to thwart the encirclement and suppression of officers and soldiers, and the food and salary of soldiers and horses continued to be enriched and strengthened. The golden sand beach ushered in 80,000 heroes of the grass, and the broken gold pavilion gathered heroes from all walks of life.

The one hundred and eight generals of Juyi Liangshan have very different personalities and are brilliant. They are either superior in intelligence, brave and strategic, or in the fight against violence and peace, chivalrous and righteous, or righteous and awe-inspiring, selfless and righteous heroes, or loyal heroes. They were the embodiment of the ideals that had been condensed in the minds of the peasant class throughout the ages.

Water Margin", one of China's four famous novels, is a long story with the Songjiang Uprising in the late Northern Song Dynasty as the main story background and a heroic legend in terms of type. The author or editor is generally considered to be Shi Nai'an, and most of the signatures of the extant journals are one of Shi Nai'an and Luo Guanzhong, or both.

"Water Margin" takes the occurrence and development process of the peasant uprising as the main line, and through the different experiences of each hero who were forced to go to Liangshan, it describes the whole process of their awakening from individual awakening to small-scale joint resistance to developing into a grand peasant uprising team, showing the inevitable law of peasant uprisings in the feudal era of "official coercion and civil rebellion", shaping the group image of peasant uprising leaders, and profoundly reflecting the political situation and social contradictions in the late Northern Song Dynasty.

The description of Zhao'an in "Water Margin" has had a negative impact on some leaders of the rebel army, such as Zhang Xianzhong's care in Gucheng, which means "killing the royal family and following the story of the Water Margin of the Song River". But in comparison, the positive impact of "Water Margin" on the peasant uprising is still the main one.

Groups of rebels used "Water Margin" as a textbook for the uprising, drew strength from it, and held high the banner of armed struggle. According to the available information, from the 14th year of Wanli (1586), the influence of the heroes of Liangshan on the rebels can be seen.

Especially in the peasant uprising at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the slogan of the heroes of the Water Margin has been widely written on the banner of the peasant army, and many leaders of the rebel army have used the names or nicknames of the "Water Margin", which has become a wonder in the history of the Chinese peasant uprising.

Later, it was not uncommon for the Qing Dynasty rebels to carry the banner of "Water Margin", and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Heaven and Earth Society, the Little Knife Society, and the Boxers were all influenced by "Water Margin". This is not comparable to any work in the history of China and even in the entire history of Chinese literature.

The rulers of the Song Dynasty were corrupt, and Taiwei Gao Yu was originally a scoundrel, but because he could play football, he was appreciated by the emperor, and since then he has risen to the top and done all kinds of evil. In order to occupy the beautiful wife of Lin Chong, the head of the 800,000 forbidden army, he slandered Lin Chong for bringing a knife into the White Tiger Hall, a major military aircraft, in an attempt to misdeceive, and sent Lin Chong to the army, and wanted to kill him halfway through the wild boar forest.

Fortunately, the flower monk Lu Zhishen rescued him with righteousness. On Taishi Cai's birthday, his son-in-law looted 100,000 pieces of gold and silver treasures, sent them to the capital to celebrate, and sent Yang Zhi to escort them. The three brothers Chao Gai, Wu Yong, and the Ruan family planned to outwit the Shengchengang, and afterwards fought fiercely with the imperial court, and finally everyone defected to Liangshan together.

There is also a tiger hero Wu Song because Ximen Qing colluded with his sister-in-law Pan Jinlian to kill his eldest brother Wu Dalang, so he killed them.

was sentenced to be in the army, and finally experienced a series of twists and turns, and he was also forced to go to Liangshan. In addition, there are many heroes such as Song Jiang and Lu Zhishen, a total of 108 people, who were finally forced to settle in Liangshan for various reasons and uncover the uprising. They raised the banner of rebellion and struck all over the country under the slogan of doing the right thing for heaven and robbing the rich and helping the poor, dealing a heavy blow to the arrogance of the reactionary rulers.

The monkey is in the mountains, but it can walk and jump, eat herbs and trees, drink streams and springs, pick mountain flowers, and look for tree fruits; With wolves and insects as companions, tigers and leopards as a group, roe deer as friends, and maces as relatives; Overnight at the bottom of the stone cliff, towards the peak of the cave. It's really "there is no nail in the mountains, and the cold does not know the year." "Once the weather was hot, I escaped the heat with a group of monkeys, and they were all playing under the pine shade.

Look at him one by one: jumping trees and climbing branches, picking flowers and fruits; Throwing marbles, throwing marbles; Running sand nests, building pagodas; catch dragonflies, flutter eight wax; Worship the Bodhisattva; Tearing kudzu vines, weaving straw; catch lice, bite and pinch; Trim sweaters, pick nails; Suffer and rub and rub; Push of push, press of press; Pulling, pulling, pulling, letting him be stubborn under the green pine forest, and washing the green water stream. A group of monkeys played for a while, but went to bathe in the mountain stream.

Seeing that stream flowing, it really seemed to be a rolling melon splashing. Gu Yun: "Birds have bird words, and beasts have animal words."

All the monkeys said, "I don't know where this water is." We have nothing to do today, slide up the stream to see the source, and play tricks!

When they shouted, they all dragged men and women, called brothers and brothers, and ran together, climbed the mountain along the stream, until the source of the stream was a waterfall and a flying spring. But see that: A white rainbow rises, and thousands of snow waves fly; The sea breeze blows constantly, and the river and the moon are still shining.

The air conditioning is divided into green mountains, and the rest of the flow is moist and green; The gurgling waterfall is really like a curtain curtain.
