General Liangshan 108 in Water Margin, why are there more nicknames with the word "tiger"?

The Water Margin is about a group of rebels gathered in the mountains. The so-called 108 clubs are mostly "vicious people", similar to people in today's mixed society, so their nicknames are all poisonous snakes and beasts: on the one hand, they want to flaunt themselves and make people afraid, on the other hand, the nicknames given to them by people who have suffered a lot are spread, and they are also happy to see their success.

It is for this reason that 108 takes tiger, dragon (dragon, stork), tiger, leopard, lion, dog (wild dog), snake, eagle and other beasts as nicknames, which is normal.

Among these beasts, tigers account for the highest proportion, with 1 1 * *: Lei Heng, Yan Shun,,,, Gong Wang, Ding Desun, Zhu Fu, Xue Yong and Gu Dasao.

It stands to reason that dragons are very powerful and more auspicious than tigers, and the proportion should be very high. However, the feudal society in China lasted for thousands of years, and dragons were often used exclusively by the royal family. Others use them without authorization, calling them illegal invasions in order to behead or even exterminate the country. So I really want to know how many claws are the nine dragons tattooed on Shi Jin's body-even the four claws are for the sovereign, right? But he's alive! I still have a mystery.

Because dragons are limited, dragons can never be separated from clouds and water. Therefore, those who use dragons directly in 108 will enter Yunlong Gongsun Sheng, Jiuwenlong Jin Shi, and Hunjianglong Li Jun-Yunlong has a spell that can really enter the clouds, Hunjianglong is a water army, and Jiuwenlong is a tattoo. In addition, Zou Run, a one-horned dragon from Zouyuan, Lin Long, is the second uncle, and there is a sarcomatous dragon horn behind its head. As for Tong Wei's two brothers, Jiao and Hong are also water forces.

Tigers are not only not dedicated to the emperor, but also cannot be separated from the restrictions of clouds and water. And "the tiger is the king of all animals" is well known to the public. The ecological environment in those days was much better than now. Tigers are not only spread all over the country, but also it is common for tigers to hurt people-they are written in several places in Water Margin, such as Jingyanggang and Yiling, so these nicknames of "tigers" in Water Margin can probably hurt people.

But although tigers are more familiar to the people, they seem to be far less noble than dragons and lions. So in Water Margin 108, although there are many nicknames called tigers, their status is not high. Only Lei Heng, who entered the leadership (the highest day is 36 days), is still the 25th-the most unbearable position is that Lei Heng is the hometown of Yuncheng, the big leader, and the criminal Kursaburo is released leniently. If it weren't for this reason, with hard power, Lei Heng should be in Sanshan Town, Huang Xin and Sick Wei Chi Sun Li, and even the top spot in the front row of the earth star has never been seen.

So the nickname tiger can scare people even if you don't see it. Why is Lei Heng called "the sky retreats from the stars" and "the wing tiger"? If you are inferior to others, you will settle for the second best. Having a good relationship with the big leader is like a tiger with wings, flying from the dungeon to the highest heaven in one fell swoop.
