The Outlaws of the Marsh
The Outlaws of the Marsh is also known as The Outlaws of the Marsh of Loyalty and the Legend of the Jianghu Hawker. According to the story of Sung River Uprising in Song, Jin and Yuan Dynasties, it was compiled into a script. More than 211 years later, Shi Naian wrote China's first vernacular novel "Water Margin" based on the script, folk stories and operas, which is of milestone significance in the development history of Chinese vernacular literature. When Song Zhezong was in Tokyo, there was a boy named Gao Qiu, who played a good game. He was taken by Duanwang, the younger brother of Zhezong, and became a confidant of Duanwang. Later, Duan Wang became emperor, and this was Huizong. In less than half a year, Gao Qiu was promoted to the rank of commander-in-chief of the temple. On his first day in office, Gao Qiu punished Wang Jin, the coach who had not arrived due to illness, and forced Wang Jin to flee Tokyo with his mother. Wang Jin came to Shijia Village in Huayin, where he was taken in and worshipped as a master. Later, due to Gao Qiu's tight pursuit, Wang Jin had to bid farewell to Shi Jin and defected to Yan 'an Mansion. After Wang went in, Shi Jin made friends with the leaders of Shaohua Mountain. After knowing this, Huayin County magistrate framed Shi Jin for liaising with bandits and sent troops to burn Shijiazhuang.
Shi Jin had to leave Huayin to find Wang Jin. Passing through Weizhou, I met Luda, the governor of Weizhou, and they came to the restaurant to drink. While drinking, suddenly there was crying from next door. Rudaton was reckless and always brave, and asked the bartender to bring the crying person. The Kim father and daughter were taken, and the daughter cried and said: Because there was no place to visit relatives in Weizhou, Zheng Tu of Zhuangyuanqiao butcher shop took advantage of people's danger and tried to marry my daughter as a concubine, but now he was driven out, so Zheng Tu asked my father and daughter to give him money. After hearing this, Lu Da was furious and determined to punish Zheng Tu. The next morning, Lu Da saw off the father and daughter of the Jin family and went to the butcher's shop in Zhuangyuanqiao. First, he asked Zheng Tu to cut the meat himself, and after teasing the villain, he was killed by three punches. Immediately left the nutrient-laden state. Half a month later, Mr. Zhao came forward and sent Lu Da to Wutai Mountain to become a monk, with a profound dharma name and wisdom.
Later, Lu Zhishen left Wutai Mountain to manage the vegetable garden in Tokyo Sokokuji. One day, Lu Zhishen was practicing martial arts in the vegetable garden, uprooting poplars in public, and Lin Chong, who accompanied his wife to the Yue Temple to make pilgrimages, saw that the two became brothers at first sight. While I was happy, the maid came to report that someone was molesting my wife. Lin Chong rushed to Yue Temple and saw that it was Gao Yanei, the adopted son of Gao Taiwei, so he had to let him go and bid farewell to Lu Zhishen and go home.
Gao Yanei saw that Lin Chong's wife was beautiful, and he was bent on taking her. Fu 'an, a pawn, offered a plan to Gao Qiu, and tricked Lin Chong into taking a treasure knife into the White Tiger Hall. Lin Chong was caught and sent to Cangzhou for the crime of assassination. Gao Qiu also sent someone to bribe the workers to kill Lin Chong in the boar forest. Thanks to Lu Zhishen's secret protection, Lin Chong was spared. When he arrived in Cangzhou, Gao Qiu sent his minions to set fire to the forage field to kill Lin Chong. Unbearable, Lin Chong killed his minions and wanted to go to the water margin at night.
Wang Lun, the leader of the shanzhai, was jealous of Lin Chong and asked him to rob him down the mountain. Lin rushed down the mountain and waited for three days before he saw a man passing by. This man is Yang Zhi, a blue-faced beast. Lin Chong fought with him for a long time, but he didn't win or lose. Wang Lun persuaded them to invite Yang Zhi up the mountain. Lin Chong took the fourth place in the partnership, but Yang Zhi refused to join the partnership and went down to Tokyo. Yang Zhi had nowhere to turn to in Tokyo, so he had to sell his ancestral treasure knife to make some money. The ruffian Niu Er made trouble without reason, trying to get the treasure knife, and was killed by Yang Zhi. Yang Zhichong joined the army and left the company in Daming Mansion. Liang Zhongshu, the son-in-law who stayed in Cai Jing, took a fancy to Yang Zhi's martial arts and asked Yang Zhi to escort a birthday gang worth millions of dollars to Tokyo to celebrate Cai Jing's birthday. When Liu Tang, a red-haired ghost, found out about this matter, he advised Classical to rob this batch of ill-gotten wealth, and Classical asked Wu Yong, a multi-star, to find a way. Wu Yong invited seven people, including Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, Ruan Xiaoqi and Gongsun Sheng, and decided to rob this batch of birthday hills in Huangnigang. Yang Zhi and his party came to Huangnigang. Chao Gai and others pretended to be jujube traders. While Yang Zhi's men were buying wine and drinking, they threw in the medicine, drugged them and robbed Birthday Gang. When Yang Zhi woke up, he found that Birthday Gang had been robbed. Knowing that a catastrophe was imminent, he went to Longshan, Qingzhou and became a robber. Liang Zhongshu informed Cai Jing that his birthday gang had been robbed, and Cai Jing ordered Jeju to arrest the thief. Jeju prefect sent He Tao to take charge of the case, and it was found that it was done by Classical and others. He Tao took people to Yuncheng County to arrest Classical. Song Jiang, an escort in the county, is a good friend of Classical. He immediately informed Classical when he heard the news. Classical burned down his manor. Defeated by He Tao, he led the people to the water margin.
Wang Lun deliberately made things difficult and refused to take him in. Lin Chong was furious, killed Wang Lun and elected Classical as the leader of water margin. After defeating loyalist and stabilizing water margin, Classical sent Liu Tang to thank Song Jiang with letters, gold and silver. Song Jiang returned the gold and silver and wrote letters. Halfway back to her residence, she was stopped by Yan Po, who pulled Song Jiangqiang home and wanted to betrothed her daughter to Song Jiang to thank him for his years of support. Sung River doesn't care about women, so she barely stays at her home for one night. But the letter was discovered by Yan Poxi, and she asserted that Sung River was secretly connected with the water margin and wanted to report to the official. Sung River begged for nothing. In a rage, he killed Yan Poxi and fled back to Songjiacun. The magistrate of a county sent Zhu Tong and Lei Heng to capture Song Jiang, but they deliberately let Song Jiang go and let Song Jiang hide in Chai Jin Zhuang. Song Jiang met Wu Song, who fled here, and they became brothers.
synopsis of The Journey to the West's story
In the distant ancient times, there was a Huaguo Mountain in the overseas sea of Dongsheng Shenzhou. A fairy stone on the mountain was naively shown, and the sun was shining, which made it feel well-informed for a long time. Fairy cells are bred inside, which burst in one day and produce a stone egg as big as a ball. Seeing the wind, he turned into a stone monkey, carrying two golden lights in his eyes and shooting at Doufu.
On a scorching summer day, this stone monkey was in the mountains with a group of monkeys for the summer, and accidentally found a waterfall flowing down from the top of the mountain. The monkeys said, "Who can get into this waterfall to see what happened? We worship him as king." The stone monkey volunteered to dive into the waterfall and found that it turned out to be a spacious and quiet cave. On the stone tablet, it was engraved with the words' Flower and Fruit Mountain, water curtain cave Cave'. The monkeys worshipped the stone monkey as king and called him the Monkey King.
After many years, the Monkey King went far away from Huaguoshan to seek immortality and visit thieves. After a few days' wandering at sea, he came to the boundary of Nanshanbuzhou. He visited Xiandao, but he didn't get a chance to meet it. After eight or nine years, one day, he thought that there must be immortals overseas, and he drifted across the West Sea alone to the boundary of Hezhou, the west cow. Under the guidance of a woodcutter, he came to the Samsung Cave in the square inch mountain of Lingtai, and he had to be accepted as his apprentice by Bodhi, and named the Monkey King. Founder Xu Bodhi thinks that he has the spirit to teach Wukong seventy-two kinds of changes and a somersault cloud that can turn 118,111 miles. After learning kung fu, the Monkey King returned to Huaguoshan. In order to practice the monkeys, Wukong used magic to shoot the weapons of Aolaiguo on Huaguo Mountain, and all the monsters and beasts in the mountain worshipped at Wukong's feet. Later, Wukong went to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea to borrow treasures, and got the precious iron of Tianhe Dingdi, that is, the wishful golden hoop that weighed 13,511 Jin. Soon, it made a scene in hell again, and all the monkeys' names were blotted out in the book of life and death. The Dragon King and the Yan King in the East China Sea show the Jade Emperor, so please subdue the demon monkey.
The Jade Emperor took the advice of Taibai Venus and called the Monkey King to the Heavenly Palace to be a horse breeder. At that time, the Monkey King was happy and went to his post with Mu Dexing. Afterwards, Wukong discovered that this was a dirty official, and knowing that he had been fooled, he angrily returned to water curtain cave, Huaguoshan, and set up the banner of "Monkey King". The Jade Emperor ordered King Tota Li Tian and Prince Nezha to capture Wukong with heavenly soldiers and generals, and Wukong was defeated. The Jade Emperor was helpless, so he had to admit the title of "Monkey King" and ordered the Monkey King to manage the Flat Peach Garden in the Heavenly Palace.
in the flat peach garden, Wukong heard that the flat peach is a peach, which has been cooked for 6,111 years. After eating it, it is light and healthy, and it will live forever. The Monkey King was overjoyed when he found out, so he stole all the peaches in the garden. Soon after, Wukong was very angry when he learned that the Queen Mother was going to have a flat peach party, but he was not invited. On the day of the Flat Peach Blossom Party, he cheated the barefoot fairy away, pretended to be a barefoot fairy, went into the meeting place and drank all the fairy wine for the banquet, and also broke into the Dan room of the old gentleman in Taishang, ate all the elixir in the gourd, and then returned to water curtain cave. The Jade Emperor hated the Monkey King for disturbing the Flat Peach Club, and ordered the four heavenly kings, King Tota Li Tian and Prince Nezha to catch Wukong. One million heavenly soldiers were defeated by Wukong. The Jade Emperor sent Erlang God to fight the Monkey King. After many fights, during the war between Erlang God and Wukong, the old gentleman threw down the diamond ring and hit Wukong before he was arrested.
The Jade Emperor ordered the Monkey King to be executed. However, since Wukong had eaten the elixir of the Grand Master, he was spared the knife, axe, thunder and fire. Seeing this, the old gentleman told the Jade Emperor, "This monkey has eaten my elixir, so let me take it and put it in a gossip furnace to be refined by civil and military fire, which can refine it and turn it into ashes." The jade emperor agreed, so the old gentleman put Wukong in the gossip furnace. After 49 days of tempering, the old gentleman thought Wukong was dead. Who knows that Wukong is not only alive, but he has refined a pair of eyes. Wukong jumped out of the Dan furnace, wielding a golden hoop, neck and neck, attacking the enemy in the east and west, and no god could stop him. Only hit the Tongming Hall, outside the Lingxiao Hall, and there was chaos in the Heavenly Palace. The Jade Emperor was helpless and turned to the Buddhist paradise for help. Wukong said to Tathagata, "If the Jade Emperor doesn't give me the Heavenly Palace, he will never be at peace!" But after all, the Monkey King can't compete with the boundless Buddha dharma, but he can't turn over the Buddha's palm all the way. The Tathagata pressed the Monkey King under the Five Elements Mountain, hungry for iron pills and thirsty for copper juice, and suffered for 511 years.
five hundred years later, it was the period of Li Shimin. Tathagata, in order to persuade all the people in the East to be good, made his apprentice, Golden Cicada, reborn in the home of Chen Zhuangyuan, but before he was born, his father was killed and his mother was occupied. After he was born, his mother put him in a wooden basin and threw him into the river. After that, he was rescued by a monk in Jinshan Temple and became a monk, whose legal name was Xuanzang. When Xuanzang became an adult, he was noble in virtue and was invited by Emperor Taizong to Chang 'an to preach Buddhism. At this time, Guanyin Bodhisattva accepted the edict of Tathagata, took five treasures, such as cassock, and went to the Tang Dynasty in Dongtu with Hui 'an Walker, looking for someone who went to the Western Heaven to get the true scriptures of Sanzang. Guanyin turned into a monk with a donkey's head, and gave the cassock and xizhang to Xuanzang, saying: The eastern land is all Mahayana Buddhism, but there is no Mahayana Buddhism, and Mahayana Buddhism can transcend the dead and ascend to heaven, and can relieve the suffering people, with the greatest merit. Instruct Xuanzang to go to the Tathagata Temple in Tianzhu, Daxitian, and get the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures and three Tibetan scriptures. After being enlightened by Guanyin, Xuanzang decided to go to the Western Heaven for Buddhist scriptures. Emperor Taizong personally drove off, calling Xuanzang his royal brother and giving him the title of Sanzang, and sent him to A Dream of Red Mansions outside Chang 'an
A Dream of Red Mansions
A Dream of Red Mansions is based on four families, namely Jia, Shi, Wang and Xue, and the story is composed of two contradictory clues.
one is centered on the love between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu, and runs through the whole book. It takes the contradiction between Jia and Lin's thought of fighting for freedom of love, independence of marriage and liberation of personality and feudal system and feudal ethics as a clue, and ends with Jia and Lin's complete betrayal of feudal system and feudal ethics and the tragic ending of love.
From the third and fourth times, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai came to Jiafu one after another, and their love entanglements with Baoyu began to form and developed in contradiction. Until the 97th and 98th chapters, Daiyu and Baochai were completely different in "mourning" and "joy", and under the strong contrast of "sadness" and "joy", one "soul left to hate heaven" and the other "becoming a bride became a big gift" ended in tragedy, which was the climax of the main line and the focus of realizing the theme of the book. After 21 times, it is in the aftermath of the climax, the decline of the plot, the end stage. At this stage, the Jia family was copied and won a situation that reflected light. Finally, Baoyu escaped into an empty door and the book ended.
From this main line, the root cause of Jia and Lin's love tragedy is that under the shackles of feudal system and ethics, young men and women can't make love and marriage independently, but depend on the wishes of feudal parents. Specifically, Jia and Lin's love and marriage do not depend on their own will, but are decided by the Rongfu authorities represented by Jia Mu, who takes the feudal class interests as the basic point. Her "pain" for Lin Daiyu is only based on the "bone and blood" relationship, and she does not like her "self-restraint", "dust-free" and "small sex" that do not meet the requirements of feudal ethics. The "love" for Xue Baochai is based on her "extreme" feudal character, especially her "open-minded behavior, following the times" character that meets the requirements of feudal morality. Therefore, Xue Baochai was finally selected and Lin Daiyu was abandoned. As a result, it caused three tragedies at the same time: Lin Daiyu, who endured the last tear for love and died with hatred; Jia Baoyu finally abandoned the "land of tenderness and wealth" and fled into an empty net; Although Xue Baochai became the "second grandmother" of Rongfu, she didn't really win love, and accompanied her to mention her lifelong desolation and loneliness. She and Lin Daiyu are just two bitter melons with different properties on the same feudal poisonous vine.
this main line reveals the evils of feudal system and feudal ethics; It also praised the rebellious spirit of young men and women against feudal ethics.
The other line claim in A Dream of Red Mansions is a sub-line centered on Ning and Rong Mansions and their social relations, which is composed of some independent and interrelated plots. It takes the feudal class oppression, hierarchical system and the feudal system's own contradictions caused by the parasitic, decadent and decadent life of feudal survivors as clues, it takes the contradictions of the feudal system itself caused by Jia's family as clues, and it ends with the decline of Jia's family, which not only constitutes the social background of the main line, but also leads to the same goal with the main line, prompting and whipping the evil of the feudal system.
synopsis of the story of Romance of the Three Kingdoms
In the first year of Jian 'an, Dong Zhuo was divided, and Emperor Xian of Han fled to Luoyang and Cao Cao rushed to protect him, welcoming Emperor Xian of Han in Xudu, taking full power. At the same time, his father died and went to Sun Ce, Yuan Shu.

Shortly thereafter, Cao Cao sent troops to Shouchun, moved to Xuzhou, defeated Yuan Shu, killed Lu Bu, and made the corps commander and the Commissioner of Shanhaiguan pass, which made him more powerful. Unwilling to be controlled, Xian Di put letters in his clothes, which made Dong Cheng design to get rid of Cao Cao. Liu Bei was attached to Cao Cao at this moment and also participated in the premeditated plan. In order to prevent Cao Cao's murder, Liu Bei planted vegetables in the backyard, thinking it was a plan to hide his strength.
