Extended information
1. Creation background
During the Southern Song Dynasty, the story of Liangshan heroes was widely circulated. The painter and writer Gong Kai at that time wrote "Praise and Preface to the 36 Song Jiang People": The stories of Song Jiang and other 36 people have spread all over the streets; the painter also wrote pictures and shadows for them.
The earliest blueprint of "Water Margin" is the Song Dynasty's "The Legacy of Xuanhe". It focuses on describing Yang Zhi's selling of knives, Chao Gai and others ganging up to rob the birthday card, and Song Jiang's killing of Yan Poxi. It also describes Lin Chong, Li Kui, Wu Song, Lu Zhishen and other major figures are also described. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, there were many scripts based on Water Margin stories. In Yuan dramas, the number of Liangshan heroes has grown from 36 to 108.
Shi Naian organized and processed the stories and characters about Water Margin, and faithfully accepted the people's views in the process of creating "Water Margin". This is the reason why "Water Margin" achieved great success. Base.
2. Novel Materials
The book "Water Margin" is based on the story of the Songjiang Uprising in the late Northern Song Dynasty. According to "Dongdu Shilue Hou Meng Zhuan": "Jiang led thirty-six men to rampage in Heshuo, and there were tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in the east of Jingdong who dared not resist." The pirates Song Jiang and others invaded the Huaiyang army, and sent generals to arrest them. They also invaded Jingdong and Hebei, and entered the border of Chu and Haizhou. They ordered Zhang Shu, the prefect, to surrender at night. ""History of the Song Dynasty* Biography of Zhang Shuye": "Song Jiang started in Heshuo. , transferred to ten counties, and no officers and soldiers dared to attack the enemy. The uncle's night envoys targeted the enemy, and the thieves approached the sea and robbed more than ten large boats.
So he recruited a thousand dead soldiers, set up an ambush near the city, and sent out light troops to lure the battle away from the sea. He first hid the strong soldiers by the sea, waited for the soldiers to join up, and set fire to their boats. After hearing this, the thieves had no fighting spirit. His deputy thief, Jiang Naijiang." In addition, there are similar records in Li Wei's "Outline of the Ten Dynasties", Chen Jun's "Nine Dynasties Chronicles" and Xu Mengxin's "Three Dynasties Northern League".
There are also records that Song Jiang participated in the battle of Fangla after surrendering. From these records, we can know that this rebel army was small in number (but definitely more than 36 people), but it was very powerful in combat and had great influence among the masses. It once posed a certain threat to the Song Dynasty. The uprising of Song Jiang and others was about from the first year of Xuanhe (1119) to the third year of Xuanhe (1121), more than three years before and after.
The storytelling skill flourished in the Song Dynasty, and the folk stories of Song Jiang and 36 other people were quickly adopted by storytellers as materials for the creation of storybooks. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Luo Ye's "Drunkard's Talk" records the novel's catalog " "Green Faced Beast", "Flower Monk" and "Martial Walker", these must be the stories of Yang Zhi, Lu Zhishen and Wu Song. In addition, "Stone Sun Li" may also be a story of the Water Margin.
This is the earliest record of the script of "Water Margin". At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, there was Gong Kai's "Thirty-six People Praising Song Jiang and Preface". The preface said: "The events of Song Jiang can be seen in street talks." It was also said that before Gong Kai, there was a painting academy waiting for Li Song, who had painted portraits of Song Jiang and others. . But Gong Kai's praise did not tell the story.
The earliest work that tells the story of the Water Margin that we have seen now is "The Legacy of Xuanhe of the Great Song Dynasty" (see "The Legacy of Xuanhe"). It was either written by the Yuan people, or it was an old version of the Song Dynasty. There are gains from time to time. Some researchers believe it is the foundation of storytellers.
The outline of the story of the Water Margin recorded in it begins with Yang Zhi selling his sword to kill people, through outsmarting the birth plan, Song Jiang killing Yan Poxi, and the Nine Heavens Xuannu teaching the Book of Heaven, until he surrenders to the imperial court and suppresses Fangla's uprising. The order is the same as that of later generations. "Water Margin" is basically the same. At this time, the Water Margin story has developed from many scattered and independent stories into a systematic and coherent whole.
