The world situation described in Water Margin is mostly cool thin's, and it smells like blood. The keynote of this book has been laid from the beginning of "plague" and "demon". However, even in the dark world, there is still a human brilliance that can't be concealed. Through the thick haze, it burns its brilliance and makes this wonderful book have positive energy.

first, gratitude: people are virtuous to me, and we must not forget

There is always a shadow of "kindness" in Jianghu stories. Just like the song in "Iron Blood and Red Heart": "The body is also in the heart, and the kindness and righteousness are in a dilemma." Some little people in the book embody the idea of repaying kindness. Li Xiaoer is one of them.

After Lin Chong stabbed Cangzhou, he met Li Xiaoer who had helped him. Li Xiaoer didn't treat Lin Chong as a prisoner, but treated him as a guest of honor and a relative. "My husband and wife just don't have any relatives. Today, the benefactor came from heaven." When Lin Chong was in Tokyo, there were naturally many people who wanted to make friends. It is rare that when he was down and out, there were still people who remembered his old kindness.

Li Xiaoer and his wife gave Lin Chong "the warmth of home": they often entertained him with wine and food, and "they didn't have time to send soup and water to the camp to eat with Lin Chong." "Lin Chong's cotton-padded skirts and jackets are all mended by Li Xiaoer's family." It's easy to add icing on the cake, but it's hard to give charcoal in the snow! Presumably, Lin Chong's dry heart also felt the moisture of the rain.

Later, when Li Xiaoer heard the wind against Lin Chong, he informed him tactfully and warned Lin Chong to beware of villains. He is sometimes sad and sometimes happy about Lin Chong. This is the person who really regards you as a friend!

Although Li Xiaoer is at the bottom of the society and has limited ability, it is touching that he can repay his kindness to Lin Chong as much as he can. There is also a weak woman in the book who also knows how to be grateful. She is Jin Cuilian.

Jin Cuilian knew that if it hadn't been for Lu Da's rescue that day, he and his father would still be in the clutches of Zhenkansai. So when she got a good life, she did not forget Ruda's kindness.

When meeting the father and daughter of the Kim family again, Jin Cuilian "invited Lu Da to sit in the center, and put in a candle as if he had made six obeisances, saying,' If it weren't for the benefactor's help, how could it be today.' "In addition to the delicious food, more importantly, Ada asked her husband, Mr. Zhao, to find a place for Lu Da to live, ending Lu Da's fugitive days.

"People's virtue is good for me, and I can't forget it; I have virtue to others, and I must not forget it. " ("Warring States Policy") "Gratitude" is common in Chinese traditional values.

Second, fight for righteousness: when the road is rough, shout, when it's time to fight.

Speaking of "fighting for righteousness", it reminds people of Lin Chong's poem: "Fighting for righteousness is Lin Chong's most simple and loyal person." Lin Chong's words are not boasting of Wang Po, who sells melons. From his good relationship with the bartender Li Xiaoer, we can see that Lin Chong's battle righteousness has planted flowers for his own life.

Liangshan heroes in Water Margin often talk about "righteousness", and the most impressive one is Lu Zhishen who rescued the poor. He rescued the father and daughter of the Jin family who met by chance, and remembered that the crock temple had been helped by Shi Jin, and he did not hesitate to be imprisoned to save Shi Jin. Lu Zhishen's battle righteousness has never been utilitarian, and he has never considered personal gains and losses. Moreover, his "loyalty" moistened things silently and influenced another person: Shi Jin.

Shi Jin once witnessed Lu Da fighting for the father and daughter of the Jin family. Later, he met Wang Yi, a craftsman. When he heard that the prefect of Huazhou robbed the daughter of the Wang family and stabbed Wang Yi far away from the military state, he immediately fried the pot. "Shi Daguan saved Wang Yi on the mountain, killed two guards and went straight to the house to stab the prefect; Being perceived, I ate and took it, and now I am in prison. " His "juvenile arrogance" is very similar to Luda who punched the town of Kansai.

Deng Fei, a fiery-eyed lion, also shows "loyalty". He was originally a mountain king who drank Machuan, and in a robbery, he met Pei Xuan, an iron-faced man on his way to Samoan Island. Knowing Pei Xuan's misfortune, he rescued him because of sympathy, and gave way because of admiration, so he was willing to be Pei Xuan's younger brother. Deng Fei's battle righteousness is also touching!

Third, loyalty: the basic principle of being human

Most of the family tragedies in Water Margin are caused by unfaithful women. But Mrs. Lin Chong embodies the basic principle of husband and wife: loyalty. In the face of all kinds of harassment from Huahua Tai Sui, Lin Niangzi vowed not to follow; When she heard that her husband was going to write a divorce letter to her, she burst into tears and vowed not to marry again; In the end, Lin Niangzi hanged herself to keep her innocence and was unbearable to be harassed. The relationship between men and women in modern society is much more open than before, and people like Lin Niangzi are often labeled as feudal ethics. However, the loyalty between husband and wife needs to be practiced in any civilized society.

There is a loyal servant named Qing Ye in the last forty chapters of Water Margin. His master, Qiu Shen, and his wife were killed during the insurrection in Tian Hu, leaving an orphaned daughter, Qiong Ying. In order to save his master's blood, Qing Ye followed the thief against his will and became the general manager in the Wu Lijun, the prince's maternal uncle. But he has been looking for opportunities to avenge his master. When Joan Ying grew up, Qing Ye told her the truth about the murder of her biological parents, which inspired her to take revenge. After help ZQQ into Tian Hujun, to help Song Jiang destroy Tian Hu. Qing Ye used his wisdom to save his master's flesh and blood, and avenged his master's blood. This little guy showed his sincere loyalty to the old master, which made people feel endless.
