There are five heroes tattooed in Water Margin, but the book is called "Flower Embroidery".
One is the history of nine dragons. From his nickname, we can know that he has a tattoo of Kowloon. The second time, Shi Taigong said to Wang Jin, the imperial coach in Tokyo who stayed in the hotel:
"The old man's son, since the childhood, not farming, only love spear stick. Mother said he was furious. The old man had to follow his temper. I don't know how much it cost, so I voted for the master to teach him. I also invited a skilled craftsman to embroider this flower with him. There are always nine dragons, side by side, on the chest. The population of counties and counties is stable, and they all call him the Nine-grain Dragon Shijin. "

One is Lu and the other is a monk. Lu was his legal name after becoming a monk, and his real name was Lu Da, who was originally the manager of Yan 'an Laozong under the account of "xianggong". This flower embroidery on his body was also stabbed before he became a monk. It turned out that when Mr. Zhao asked the true elder of Wutai Mountain Wenshu Institute to shave Lu Da, the monks saw that "this man is not like a monk. His eyes are like thieves. " I've never seen the embroidery on him. I think this flower embroidery is stabbed where the clothes can cover him. After four or five months, Lu was so bored that he went down the mountain to drink. "。 After drinking, he was promiscuous and revealed this flower embroidery: "I only said that I sat in the pavilion for a long time, but the wine came up." I went down to the pavilion and sat on the pine root for half a rest, and the wine poured up. Shen Zhi took off his soapy clothes, wrapped two sleeves around his waist, embroidered clothes on his back exposed, and spread his arms up the hill. " (the fourth time)
It turns out that the back is embroidered with flowers. Lu's nickname is "Flower Monk", mainly not that he is a monk with wine and meat, and he doesn't care about Buddhist taboos at all, but that "Lu is called a Jianghu Flower Monk because of embroidery on his back." (Back to the 27th)
The third tattoo is Yang Xiong. His embroidery pattern is on his arm. Because he was imprisoned in both houses, at the same time, he always rolled up his sleeves, so when Yang Lin first saw him in the street, he saw that he "showed an indigo-like flower embroidery". Shi Naian even wrote a poem praising Yang Xiong in Linjiang County. The first sentence is "Carving jade with two arms". As for his flower embroidery, it is blue in color, so it is comparable to "tender jade".
The most beautiful flowers are embroidered on the most beautiful figure, and this figure is the prodigal son Yan Qing!
"This man is a native of Beijing Stone Everyone. His parents died when he was a child, and Mr. Lu raised him. In order to see that his snow practice is like white meat, Lu Junyi found a skillful craftsman to stab him with this flower embroidery, but the jade pavilion column seems to be covered with nephrite. If you enter the competition, you will lose to him. " (Sixty-first)
Shi Jin's flowers are embroidered on "shoulders, arms and chest", while Lu Wen is tattooed on "back" and tattooed on both arms. It's just that this Yan Qing is tattooed with "a flower embroidery" or "If you play games, no matter who you are, you will lose to him." This flower embroidery has become Yan Qing's personal business card, attracting people from all over the world:
"But dragged his fist to hit the front, but was the man's hand up and down, in the middle of Yan Qing's left leg, knocked to the ground. The man behind him got up, stepped on Yan Qing, made a big knife and chopped it down. Yan Qing shouted:' Hero! I might as well die, but who should I report to in water margin? "Yan Qing said,' Where do you ask me to live?' The hero in front of him dragged Yan Qing's hand with flowers embroidered on his wrist. Hurriedly asked:' Aren't you Yan Qing, the prodigal son of Mr. Lu's family? Yan Qing said,' Both sides are dead. Let's tell him to catch him and be with his master's ghost. Service road:' I am Yan Qing, the prodigal son of Mr. Lu. Today, I'm going to Liangshanpo to tell Song Gongming to save my master. "They smiled and said,' I wouldn't have killed you! It turned out to be my brother Yan Xiaoyi! "Do you know me?" It was none other than Yang Xiong, the leader of the water margin. Behind, is desperately saburo Shi Xiu. "(back to sixty-two)
This is the scene where Lu Junyi, his master, was caught on the wall by Wu Yong's Tibetan anti-poem "Lu Junyi Anti" and was sentenced. Yan Qing moved to Liangshan Park to get reinforcements. It is because Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu saw the embroidery on his body that they didn't.
Recognize his identity, otherwise, it will inevitably be the ghosts of these two Han dynasties. The most famous one is Si Qi, who provoked Zhao's housekeeper's bitch Li Shishi: After a few drinks, Li Shishi said with a smile, "I heard that my brother has a good figure and can embroider. How about taking a look? " Yan Qing said with a smile, "Although I have some embroidery on my humble body, how dare I take off my clothes in front of my wife's roots!" Li Shishi said, "Son of the Golden Sports Society, where can I ask about naked clothes?" Again and again, you must watch it. Yan Qing only patted the shoulder. Li Shishi was overjoyed to see him. Stretch out a sharp jade hand and touch him. Yan Qing hurriedly put on his clothes. Li Shishi and Yan Qing took the oil lamp again and handed the words to him. (back to the eighty-first)
This is a scene in which Song Jiang took Yanqing to Tokyo, went to Goulan Academy to collect money from Li Shishi, wanted to borrow a skirt to reach Emperor Daojun, and embraced the Water Margin in an all-round way. This Li Shishi is a real person in history, and she is a household name in Goulan, not only because of her marriage with Daojun, but also according to the notes of the Song Dynasty, she and Zhou Bangyan, a great poet at that time, also took precautions, which made Daojun greatly jealous. Of course, it is such an ordinary fireworks woman who must have a high vision, and she was amazed at this flower embroidery of Yan Qing. She not only "stretched out her jade hand and touched him", but also "adjusted his words". It is conceivable how touching this flower embroidery is. Yan Qing's flower embroidery, when going to Mount Tai to fight with Ren Yuan, is even more synthetic-aperture:
"Yan Qing in addition to the headscarf, naked comb a corner, took off his sandals, barefoot, squatting on the altar. Untie your legs and kneepads, jump up, take off your shirt and throw a shelf. Look at the officials in the temple, such as stirring the sea and crossing the river, cheering at the same price. Everyone was shocked. Ren Yuanjian embroidered his body and felt a little afraid of him. "(back to the seventy-fourth) the fifth is the last one to join the partnership, Gong Wang, and Zhang Qing without the arrow. Then King Gong was different: "Tiger Spot was tattered and swallowed a tiger's head around his neck" and "Bad Spotted Beast swallowed his head". The tattoo on the whole body is famous for its magnificence, which is in sharp contrast with the flowers of the prodigal son Yan Qing. (Back to the seventieth)
In addition to these five heroes, you also mentioned a group of "thirty or twenty are flowers" in your book. That's Ren Yuan, a sumo wrestler from Taiyuan.
"There are embroidered flags all around in front, and Ren Yuan is sitting in a sedan chair. Before and after the sedan chair, thirty or twenty pairs of brave men with flowers and arms came to the altar. " (Back to the seventy-fourth)
In the Water Margin, there is no place to write embroidery, and there is no place to be praised for this embroidery. Only from this point, we can know that the author Shi Naian's rebellious spirit against feudal ethics is like writing a group of heinous strongmen into heroes in the book. Why do you say that writing embroidery is full of admiration and rebellious spirit? Because not only before the Song Dynasty, but also in the early Ming Dynasty when the author Shi Naian lived and after, tattoos were regarded as the works of ordinary people, despised by the literati, not allowed by etiquette, and even rejected by political life.
