Second, because of Wu Dalang. The stories of Water Margin and Jin Ping Mei mainly happened in Shandong, among which the stories of Pan Jinlian, Ximen Qing, Wu Dalang and Song Wu are widely circulated and household names. Wu Da's meanness is shameful; Wu Er's benevolence, fortitude and hatred of evil are commendable, and he can be regarded as the representative of Dahan.
Third, because the second child is simple and honest, it can better represent the characteristics of Dahan. It is generally believed that brothers and compatriots are generally the boss, the second child is stupid, and every family has its own problems.
Fourth, the boss plays an ignominious role in folk tales. There are many stories about the separation of brothers among the people. Take Cowherd and Weaver Girl as an example. The boss often marries an evil wife without kindness and becomes "henpecked". After his parents died, he didn't take good care of his underage second child, but he was kicked out of the house. But later, the boss often became a person punished by social morality, such as some greedy stories circulating among the people, saying that the second child was cheated by the boss into a well or a mountain forest. I'm meeting Fox Fairy to talk about what I have seen and heard. It is nothing more than that my daughter has a strange disease, which can be cured with XXX grass, and whoever is cured will be recruited as a husband. Or the emperor and princess got a strange disease, which was related to the turtle essence in the pond. Get rid of the turtle essence, and you will get high officials and high salaries. The second son did as he said, and got a good wife and a high official, while the eldest son was insatiable, went to learn from the second son, and died in well water and forest, which became a delicious meal for wild animals.
Five, because of Confucius. Confucius is the pride of Shandong people, and his thoughts of benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom have a far-reaching influence on Shandong people. And Confucius is the second child.
Sixth, Shandong people are modest, unwilling to be treated as "big" and like to be called "second brother".
