Song Wu's nickname was "Monkey", which was a name for Taoist travelers at that time. He is a hero who killed the tiger, but his eldest brother was poisoned and very angry. After escaping, he met his sworn brother Zhang Qing and his wife Sun Erniang.
In order to hide people's eyes and ears and prevent Song Wu from being captured by the imperial court, he disguised Song Wu as a walker, wearing a gold hoop, tattooed hair, wearing a Taoist robe, holding a Buddhist monk's knife and carrying official documents. Later, he did evil deeds, went to Erlong Mountain, joined forces with Lu, and finally went to Liangshan together, and continued to use this ancient costume image to uphold justice for heaven. Since then, Song Wu has formed a nickname of Walker.
