Because Wu Sung is a big cowhide, hard to fight the tiger. For one thing, he bragged that he had a lot of liquor, and for another, he didn't trust the shopkeeper and felt that the shopkeeper wanted to figure out that he was staying at the store. This was due to the fact that he was a man with a low sense of self-worth, caused by the death of his parents when he was a child and being bullied along with his brother. Other heroes fight the tiger, that is the initiative to fight the tiger, while Wu Song is no way to fight the tiger, the author intends to warn people to raise children with sound mind, otherwise the risk is too great .
Seeing the title of this tiger-fighting hero, I was reminded of the recent fire in a mess of ramen noodles!
Shandong ramen brother a fire, the country's "demons and monsters" are alarmed, a time to eat a bowl of "ramen" into the fashion, all kinds of high people also show their skills, gathered in small villages in Shandong, simply a modern version of the "Journey to the West". The modern version of the Journey to the West reproduced.
The grass looked at a few videos, there is the Monkey King, there is Jigong, there are holy warriors, there are runt bouncing ...... have sold their bodies to bury their fathers, there are performing magic tricks, there are confession blocking the road, there are also specialized to climb the tree ......
See here, we can not help but to have questions. We can not help but to produce questions, ramen sold three dollars a bowl, not only Shandong ramen brother this one, why this one suddenly on fire?
As we asked in the title, there are so many people who are good at fighting tigers, so how come Wusong is on fire?
First,
The whole "Water Margin", with the tiger on the side of the good man, not only Wusong one, hastily counted, there are at least five people with the tiger have to do:
They are the tiger will be Li Zhong, the hero of the tiger Wusong, the tiger hunter Xie Zhen and Xie Bao, and the king of the tiger, Li Kui! !
First of all, Li Zhong, people's tiger fighting name is a long time ago, when in the Sun Erniang bun store, Wu Sung do not dare to tiger fighting self-proclaimed, and Shi Nai-an masters to explain:
But in fact, Li Zhong's skills are not strong, and did not hit the tiger, the reason why there is a tiger fighting this nickname is because of the "Li Zhong ancestor is the Baling raw! And Baling Sheng is specifically referring to General Li Guang, in the "Records of the Grand Historian", once recorded the experience of Li Guang shooting a tiger, so as the descendant of General Li Li Zhong, inherited the name of the tiger-fighting general.
Although the top of the tiger fighting family signboard, but Li Zhong himself is really not competitive, neither the courage to fight tigers, nor the determination to fight tigers, because he simply did not want to go to find a tiger to fight, but chose to sell street art.
Therefore, the above five, because Li Zhong is just a name in vain, never practiced tiger-fighting, so the first in the tiger-fighting red man was eliminated.
Among the remaining four, Xie Zhen and Xie Bao are professionals, and tiger-fighting is their unique skill. As we always say, don't challenge people's specialty with your interest! As the first hunter in Dengzhou, these two people not only fight tigers, and even how to fight tigers to professionalization, process, standardization.
There is also Li Kui, people can kill four tigers in one breath, and Wu Sung to fight a tiger get exhausted different, Li Kui is almost effortless, after the tiger do not take a breath.
Secondly,
It is strange, why the tiger family did not red, professional tiger hunting did not red, kill the most tigers in one breath did not red, but Wu Song red?
Wu Sung was originally a small gangster, reading when not properly study, every day thinking about when the class boss, to provoke a wrong. After the academic waste, began to mix society, today smashed the windows of the Li family, tomorrow stole the Wang family's chickens, and finally accidentally injured people, escaped.
Or Chai Da Guanren think he is the material, he raised him in the house, of course, Song Jiang at that time also killed Yan Boshi, also was Chai Da Guanren raised in the house.
One day, Song Jiang drank too much and went to the toilet in the middle of the night, and I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but I stepped on the charcoal fire. As a result, the sparks splashed on the face of the fire is there, Wu Song this temper, picked up a pick up Song Jiang to fight:
If not Chai Da Guanren came to stop in time, Song Jiang may not be able to go on the Liangshan, and Wu Song so fierce, so Song Jiang also ate a surprise, the two people on this brotherhood.
In fact, by this time, Wu Sung can get out of the name, that is, Song Jiang's worship brother, although later look quite forked. But at that time, Song Jiang is just a murderer absconding with the crime, with the murderer to worship brother, is not how honorable thing.
So, Wu Song never took this identity to introduce himself, even later on Liangshan. Because not long after he figured out that the person he hit back then didn't die, which means he was not guilty. Alas, this worship worship loss, with this thought, and worship brother Song Jiang said goodbye, Wu Song decided to go home.
And really let Wu Sung famous deeds, is the subsequent Jing Yang Gang tiger, it is this experience to open the Wu Sung ups and downs of life.
Thirdly,
So, what is the difference between Wu Song's tiger fight and others?
First of all, removing Li Zhong, the hereditary tiger general, Wu Song is the first person to fight a tiger in the Water Margin. As we all know well, the difference between being first in line and being second in line, people tend to remember only the first, not the second.
The first to dare to blow up the ugly kind of blind date, that is called Phoenix, the second such blow up the ugly kind of blind date, that is called clowns; the first to win the Olympic gold medal, that is Xu Haifeng, the second to win the gold medal, I don't know; the first to wear a coat and sing, that is, the brother of the coat, the second to wear a coat and sing, I don't know what it is called.
Then there is the local publicity, like the spring evening Song Dandan speech, that time is the drums and gongs, firecrackers, red flags, a sea of people ......
Yanggu County finally caught this publicity opportunity, not only the four-carrying sedan chair carrying Wusong parade, but also in front of the face of all the townspeople to give Wusong The county governor also personally came out to give Wu Sung a big bonus. The county governor also personally to Wu Sung toast, and like the treatment of Ding Zhen, to Wu Sung to provide an iron rice bowl, Yanggu County Criminal Investigation Brigade brigade captain position, deputy section level, a time the whole Yanggu County everywhere in the rumor of Wu Sung tiger's heroic deeds.
Yanggu County Yamen's paperwork, but also a meal of interviews with Wu Sung, asking Wu Sung to fight the tiger's journey. And a lot of publicity, including Wu Sung when facing the tiger thought of how many hunters this tiger has harmed, his life is nothing, today must be for the people to get rid of the harm and so on.
In this way, Wu Sung was quickly molded into a tiger hero, Jing Yang Gang also transformed into a 5A scenic spot in Yanggu County. Wu Sung tiger at the crooked neck tree was also protected, surrounded by a group of painters, many tourists lined up ready to pretend to be Wu Sung tiger painting.
Three bowls but the Gang restaurant has also become the hottest restaurant in Yanggu County, many people come to the name, must try this tiger fighting wine ......
Four,
Of course, everyone is also clear, rely on a moment of Netflix driven by the economic effect, will soon die out. So it didn't take long for people to stop paying attention to Jing Yang Gang, and stop drinking Tiger Fighting Wine, not to mention not paying much attention to Wu Sung.
At this point, as Wu Song, what to do?
This is to learn from the experience of the big brother, you know, when in the "Avenue of Stars" famous grassroots star is not a big brother. There is also what straw hat sister, Wang Erni, Rising Sun, A Bao, etc., but, now still active in the flow pool is estimated to be only a big clothes brother.
This can be seen in the big yi brother's cleverness, on the one hand, they are in the intentionally or unintentionally publicity, on the other hand is the side of the people to help him publicize, want to not high-profile are difficult.
So, Wusong is also clear that his name as a tiger-fighting hero will fade away with the passage of time. Even the Monkey King, encountering demons and devils who are not clear about himself, is to repeat:
The strategy adopted by Wu Song is this strategy, in the drunken beating Jiang Men Shen, but he repeated himself three times, for example, at the beginning of the first with Shi En to say:
This is too powerful, after harming three months of malaria, or drunkenness, but even three punches and two kicks to kill the tiger, this It's not a bad idea.
When he met Jiang Men Shen, it was the same sentence:
V.
Including the later Wu Sung blood splash mandarin ducks building, worried about the future storytellers did not have a stalking, specifically left a sentence on the wall:
So, the future storytellers, every time to speak of the Wu Sung great display of power, blood splash mandarin ducks building, will always be a long beat the table.
So, in addition to Yanggu County left the tiger hero Wu Sung legend, there is also Mengzhou is also circulating tiger hero Wu Sung fist Jiangmen Shen, as well as blood splash mandarin ducks floor of the legend, through the dissemination of a variety of storytellers, spread rapidly throughout the north and south of the Yangtze River.
Let's look at how Xie Zhen and Xie Bao fought the tiger:
As the first hunter in Dengzhou, these two brothers came prepared, and were specifically responding to the call of the county magistrate, with professional equipment to fight the tiger. And squatting three days and three nights later, only to kill the tiger, not yet got, but the tiger rolled to the village bully Mao Taigong home yard, was robbed of the credit, but also came to ask for the tiger of this brother and sister to be locked up.
This brother and sister were later saved, this is the only way to escape from death, ran to the Liangshan grass as a bandit, this experience is not good to hear. And there is no local publicity, they are also embarrassed to publicize, so these two tiger heroes buried.
Six.
Let's take a look at Li Kui, a man even killed four tigers, how did not get the name of the hero of the tiger?
In fact, Li Kui killed four tigers in a row, which is much more powerful than Wu Song, when he came down from the mountain after killing the tigers and met a group of hunters. Li Kui, like Wu Sung, told them that he had killed the tigers, and the hunters did not believe him:
Later, after they were sure that Li Kui had killed the tigers, they intended to publicize the story, but Li Kui was a wanted man, and he dared to leave his name, and when Cao Taigong asked him who he was, he dared to answer with a false name:
Even Sze Nai-an felt that it was too much of a pity, and he wrote a poem about it:
In fact, Li Kui killed four tigers in a row, which was much more powerful than Wu Sung.
Li Kui didn't dare to show off in front of the public, but when he went back to Liangshan, he could always publicize it, at least he had killed four tigers, and he could stand up in front of Wu Sung.
But Li Kui told the story of killing four tigers, but the people couldn't tell him that he had taken Li Kui's mother's life in exchange for it, so did they want to celebrate the fact that Li Kui had killed four tigers?
Although they are a group of robbers, but in their respective mother above, or can not, and do not dare to be so reckless ah!
Even when Li Kui faced Wu Sung later, he still felt suffocated, but he had no way. You are embarrassed to mention this, go home and carry my mother to enjoy the blessings, the results of halfway by the tiger ate, how do you say, have the face of publicity?
Moreover, there is no legend in the jianghu saying that Li Kui beat up the four tigers, at most, he would say that a man named Zhang Bold killed the four tigers.
The government did not publicize it, they did not have the face to publicize it, and the people in the know were not good at publicizing it. Moreover, Li Kui beat the tiger was prepared, with a plain sword, and used the terrain to his advantage to kill the four tigers, which is different from Wu Song's bare hands later on.
In this way, Wusong beat the tiger from generation to generation, and the other tiger-fighting heroes, gradually forgotten, tiger-fighting heroes name is not Wusong.
In later years, people gave the continuation of a "post-Water Margin", look down on everything Wusong has become a monk, Chai Jin and others went to visit him, once mentioned his heroism to fight tigers, did not want to Wusong smiled:
At this point, the ramen brother seems to be more than the Wusong see far, a few days ago, he has been forced to hide, the phone does not pick up, the person does not show up. People didn't show up either. Yes, all this will soon dissipate, even if so many people and places are also making a big fuss, and he just want to sell a bowl of noodles only ......
"Water Margin", a lot of good men have fought tigers, such as Li Kui killed four tigers, Xie Zhen, Xie Bao brothers hunting tigers, and Wu Sung beat the tiger, etc. plot The main reason for this difference, I think there are the following:
First, Wu Sung tiger difficulty
Li Kui killed four tigers, the number of much more than Wu Sung, but Li Kui had a weapon in his hand, and the tigers were slaughtered completely unprepared, basically by Li Kui first to kill; solve the treasure, solve the treasure brothers were professional tiger masters, have a set of specialized to deal with The two brothers Xie Zhen and Xie Bao were originally professional tiger hunters and had a set of methods and tools specialized in dealing with tigers. Wu Song fights a tiger is not the same: first of all, Wu Song did not have any experience in fighting tigers, purely for the first time to fight with the big bugs; secondly, Wu Song's weapon was broken at the beginning in the panic; thirdly, Wu Song fights with the tiger completely rely on the personal force. Combining these points, Wu Sung's fight with the tiger is far more difficult than the previous two cases, thus gaining a lot of attention points.
Second, the description of the process of fighting the tiger is more vivid
Strictly speaking, the Water Margin in the Xie Zhen, Xie Bao did not fight the tiger's performance, they used the machine to injure the tiger and then continue to chase; Li Kui to fight the tiger's process is like a running gag, to see a kill a, there is not too much thrilling, exciting, exciting, heart-warming details of the description. Wu Sung fights the tiger is different, from the mountain after seeing the list, the heart hesitates to go back to the beginning, Wu Sung at the beginning to bring the reader a sense of joy. After encountering the tiger, Wu Sung from the beginning of the panic, to later move to dodge, take the initiative to attack, attack and defense conversion, and the psychological description of the tiger after thank God, a vivid and lovely and courageous image of a good man deep into the hearts of the people.
Third, the character of Wu Sung is more popular
Another main reason is that the character of Wu Sung is extremely popular, and the brothers Xie Zhen and Xie Bao needless to say, they have almost no fans. And Li Kui also has many fans, but not like him more, the main reason should be that he hurt the innocent too much. Wu Song is different, this characterization has always been an important representative of "Water Margin", and its stories of avenging his brother's death, drunkenly beating Jiang Men Shen, the battle of Fei Yun Pu, and splashing blood on the Yuanyang Tower are widely known and fascinating, and the stories related to Wu Song are of course also attracting a lot of attention.
I was born in Yanggu County, Shandong Province, and the place where Wu Song beat the tiger, Jingyanggang, is in Yanggu County. So I am proud of our hometown Yanggu County appeared a tiger hero! More Wu Sung tiger deeds are widely spread and feel proud! In my opinion, the story of Wu Sung's tiger-fighting has been widely spread because of its own characteristics! This characteristic is to use two fists to kill the tiger, and did not use any weapons, only from this point on the full proof of Wu Song's martial arts. The second is that it leads to a series of wonderful stories that are very compelling. For example, Pan Jinlian poisoned Wu Dalang, which led Wu Song to kill Simon Qing and Pan Jinlian in anger. This in turn leads to the wonderful and fascinating stories of beating Jiang Men Shen, splashing blood in the Mandarin Ducks House, and so on. From these stories, Wu Song's skill and wisdom are further seen, which makes people feel that Wu Song is a hero who is strong in martial arts, sweeping away the darkness and eliminating the evil. That is why it further sets off the image of a true tiger-fighting hero! The most critical factor is that the image of Wu Sung close to life, close to reality, because no matter when the people are very much in need of such a good hero to punish evil.
Water Margin in the death of a tiger there are several people, there are Wu Sung Jing Yang Gang tiger, Li Kui Yiling kill four tigers, 解珍解宝打虎, etc. But the most famous or Wu Sung tiger. But the most famous or Wu Sung tiger. Why is it that other people are not so famous for fighting tigers, but Wu Song is so famous for fighting tigers? We analyze one by one.
解珍解宝打虎China's ancient times, there is a special occupation, called hunters, from the name to understand, is to hunt for a living a group of people. On Liangshan Mountain, there are two members of the Big Dipper who are hunters, and they are the brothers Xie Zhen and Xie Bao.
解珍解宝兄弟不是主动去打虎，可能猎户平常也不会去招惹老虎这种大型猛兽，危险系数太高，更多是打一些危险性低的小型动物。 But the local tiger disease, so the government issued a tiger trapping instrument, called the hunters to go to fight the tiger, and limited time, in three days to complete the task, there will be corresponding punishment.
So Xie Zhen Xie Bao to fight tigers, a little bit of duck on the meaning of the shelf.
In fact, for the hunters, to kill a tiger is not particularly difficult thing, because the hunters to fight the tiger means a lot of things, such as digging traps, shooting poisoned arrows, and so on, and the hunters are often groups of people, not a separate activity. Xie Zhen Xie Bao is also like this, the two dug the trap beforehand, placed the medicine arrow, and then climbed to the tree to hide, quietly waiting for the tiger to take the bait.
From this we can see, Xie Zhen Xie Bao the so-called tiger, not the real meaning of the fight, but to do a good job in advance of the ambush, waiting for the tiger to take the initiative to fall into the ambush, do not need to people to really fight.
The fact is also true that the tiger that Xie Zhen Xie Bao fought, is the first to fall into the ambush in the medicine arrow, the effect of the medicine so that the tiger died.
So Xie Zhen Xie Bao hit the tiger, nothing special, after all, is their job.
Li Kui Yiling killed four tigers
Li Kui killed the tiger is more interesting, the reason is that Li Kui back on his mother back to Liangshan Po, on the way to the mother thirsty, so the mother put down to look for water, did not want to mother was eaten by the tiger. So Li Kui was furious and killed four tigers.
So Li Kui's so-called tiger fighting is actually tiger killing. Li Kui was well equipped at that time, with a plain sword in his hand and a belt knife on his waist. As the saying goes, if you have a knife in your hand, you won't panic when things go wrong (my own words). With two sharp edges in his hand, plus Li Kui's own reckless character, dealing with the tiger was still relatively easy for him.
Li Kui's process of killing the tiger is also relatively wise, first killed two small tigers, did not spend too much effort, and then used the waist knife to kill the female tiger, the knife from the anus straight into, pull out can not pull out. Finally, he killed the male tiger with a plain knife.
So Li Kui killed the tiger with the help of a weapon and two sharp blades. If it was empty-handed, I think Li Kui probably had to go to accompany his mother.
Wu Sung fights the tiger
Wu Sung fights the tiger, is the real meaning of the fight, is the bare hands of the fight.
Wu Sung beat the tiger, there is no weapon, there was a whistle stick, but I do not know at that moment Wu Sung is scared of the circle or anxious fire attack, a stick hit on the branch, the stick broken, the only weapon is broken. So Wu Song fights the tiger is a real fight, with a fist.
Wu Song beat the tiger process is also more difficult, basically in line with the people in the life and death of the situation to burst out of all the potential, I believe that the whole process of beating the tiger, Wu Song brain are confused, the instinct of survival so that his strength and speed are very explosive, coupled with the Wu Song itself strength, casserole pots and pans big fists according to the tiger's sky cover to hit the 70-80, straight hit the tiger seven orifices, blood, and can not move. I can't move.
The book of this description is quite detailed, but also quite wonderful, because this is the human empty-handed face of the beast, in the strength and size of the disparity between the great case of a fluke victory. The word "fluke" is not too much to use here, although Wu Song often bragged about his experience of fighting the tiger in the late stage, but I have to say, Wu Song was really confused, and it is true that he had to die in one life. Afterwards, Wu Song himself also felt afraid.
So why is Wu Sung more famous, precisely because Wu Sung beat the tiger, is the real meaning of the fight, bare hands and empty fists, without the use of any external forces to fight. It is a victory for ordinary human beings to face the beast, which can be said to have changed people's common sense and cognition, and it is also an unrepeatable victory.
Therefore, Wu Sung's fight against the tiger deserves to be written about, and Wu Sung deserves to be worshipped.
The above is a personal view, welcome to add attention to the discussion.
