Analysis of Yan Qing’s Appreciation of Characters in Water Margin
4. Yan Qing is a person who attaches great importance to the overall situation but neglects the love of his children.
The woman Yan Qing had the most contact with in Water Margin was Li Shishi. For the sake of recruitment, Yan Qing volunteered to complete this task. So Yan Qing proposed to meet the emperor through Li Shishi, so as to express to the emperor the desire of Liangshan heroes to recruit people. Li Shishi was a prostitute and a watery person. When she saw Yan Qing's talent, she fell in love with him. During the conversation with Yan Qing, Li Shishi used words to tease him intentionally or unintentionally. Although Yan Qing saw it, he was indifferent. Yan Qing understood the purpose of his visit this time. He should not let his children's affair ruin the future of the Liangshan brothers. But Yan Qing agreed to Li Shishi's request to play the flute and see his tattoos. Because Yan Qing understands that he is the key person if he wants to successfully meet the emperor Li Shishi, and he doesn't want to screw it up because of himself. Faced with Li Shishi's constant verbal teasing, Yan Qing suddenly proposed to become sworn brother and sister with Li Shishi. They became sworn sworn sworn people to worship the woman, so that she could do great things in the middle. If the second one is drunk and debauched, it will also ruin the matter. Therefore, the top laner shows that Yan Qing's heart is as solid as stone, and he is a good man! 9 Indeed, Yan Qing maintained his own self under Li Shishi's temptation, put the overall situation first, put aside his personal affairs with his children, and showed his true character as a man. He also used his own wisdom to handle the relationship with Master Li very well, and finally successfully completed the recruitment task.
Comprehensive analysis, I think Yan Qing played a great role in the Water Margin. Without Yan Qing, Song Jiang's wish to recruit people might not be realized. And Yan Qing's ability to play such a big role is inseparable from his personal image characteristics. Yan Qing is confident, far-sighted, loyal to his master and knows how to be grateful. The big picture is conducive to his successful completion of tasks time and time again. Yan Qing is the best-performing among Liangshan heroes and the one I admire most. In my opinion, Yan Qing is a very pursuing person. Yan Qing dared to challenge Optimus Prime not for the rewards of money and gifts, it was his pursuit. He stayed away from the court, retreated to the mountains and became an idler, which was another pursuit of his.

Yan Qing’s Character
Yan Qing is talented and beautiful, charming, smart, careful, loyal, loyal, rational, and character. Being unassuming, low-key in dealing with things, and having a smooth temperament will lead to outstanding talents.
Loyal Savior
After Song Jiang succeeded as the leader of Liangshan village, in order to strengthen Liangshan's momentum, he sent military advisor Wu Yong to win Lu Junyi up the mountain. Wu Yong pretended to be a fortune teller and sneaked into the Lu Mansion to tell Lu Junyi's fortune, saying that there was going to be a bloody disaster and that he had to go to the southeast for a thousand miles to escape. Lu Junyi was convinced and wanted to take his housekeeper Li Gu to Tai'an Prefecture to do business in order to avoid disaster, and left Yan Qing to look after the family's warehouse. Yan Qing tried his best to dissuade him, thinking that going to Tai'an Prefecture must pass through Liangshanbo, and the road was unsafe. He also pointed out that the fortune teller must be from Liangshan and wanted to trick Lu Junyi into going up the mountain. Lu Junyi didn't listen. Yan Qing wanted to go with him again, but Lu Junyi still refused.
When Lu Junyi was passing through Liangshan, he encountered an ambush and was eventually captured alive by Zhang Shun, a man from Langli Baitiao. Song Jiang stayed with Lu Junyi for a short while, released Li Gu, and lied to him that Lu Junyi had fallen into the mountain village.
Li Gu had an affair with Lu Junyi's wife Jia for a long time, so he took the opportunity to report it to the government and seize the Lu family's property with Jia. Lu Junyi lived in Liangshan for two months, said goodbye and went home, and met Yan Qing outside Beijing. Yan Qing had been kicked out of the house by Li Gu and became a beggar. He told Lu Junyi the truth and advised Lu Junyi not to enter the city. Lu Junyi didn't believe it, and despite Yan Qing's repeated dissuasion, he insisted on entering the city and returning home.
Li Gu reported to the government again that Lu Junyi had colluded with the rebels and was preparing to attack Daming Mansion together. Liang Zhongshu ordered people to arrest Lu Junyi, torture him severely, and then put him on death row. The Cai Fu brothers were commissioned by Chai Jin with a large sum of money to open up their joints, and finally changed Lu Junyi's death penalty to assassination. The officers Dong Chao and Xue Ba were bribed by Li Gu and tried to kill Lu Junyi on the way to assassinate his wife, but were shot to death by Yan Qing's cold arrows. Yan Qing rescued Lu Junyi and fled to Liangshanbo with him on his back. While resting at the inn on the way, Yan Qing went out to hunt game, but Lu Junyi was captured by the pursuing officers and soldiers.
Facilitated the recruitment of troops
Taiwei Gao Qiu led his army to conquer Liangshanbo, but was defeated three times and was finally captured by Zhang Shun and taken to the mountain stronghold. However, Song Jiang wanted to use Gao Qiu to recruit him, treated him with courtesy, and even hosted a banquet for him. After Gao Qiu got drunk, he talked arrogantly and boasted that there was no one in the world of sumo wrestling. Lu Junyi asked Yan Qing to fight with Gao Qiu. Yan Qing used his special skill of "defending his life" and knocked Gao Qiu to the ground with one fall.
When Gao Qiu came down from the mountain, Song Jiang asked Xiao Rang and Lehe to accompany him and wait for instructions. But as soon as the two arrived in the capital, they were placed under house arrest. Song Jiang also guessed that Gao Qiu would conceal the defeat in front of the emperor, so he ordered Yan Qing and Dai Zong to go to Tokyo to find out the news. Yan Qing pretended to be Xiao Xian and went to see Li Shishi again, telling Gao Qiu about the defeat and asking her to play the role of emperor. But Li Shishi only talked about Fengyue, flirted with her several times, and even wanted to see his tattoo. Yan Qing remained unmoved. In order to get rid of her entanglement, he became a sibling with her and lived in her home.
When Song Huizong came to see Li Shishi, Yan Qing was introduced to Huizong by Li Shishi, and gained Huizong's appreciation by playing the flute, plectrum and singing. He pretended that he had been kidnapped by Liangshan for three years and asked Huizong for pardon. Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty granted him a letter of pardon and asked Liangshan for details. Yan Qing took the opportunity to inform Huizong about the defeat of Tong Guan and Gao Qi in the expedition, and said that Song Jiang "had long hoped to recruit troops and was willing to contribute to the country." The next day, Yan Qing went to see Taiwei Su Yuanjing again, conveyed Song Jiang's intention, and asked him to facilitate the recruitment, and made a plan with Dai Zong to rescue Xiao Rang and Lehe from Gao Qiu's mansion. Finally, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty issued an edict to recruit peace, and ordered Yuan Jing to go to Liangshan to issue the edict. ;
