Reading Notes from Chapter 6 of Water Margin

There are several highlights in the sixth chapter: one is the confrontation between the monks of the Crock Temple and the thieves; the second is Lu Zhishen’s fight against injustice but was defeated; the third is the chance encounter with Shi Jin in Chisonglin, who encouraged him to seek revenge. Fourth, Lu Zhishen was not popular when he went to Xiangguo Temple.

In the Crock Temple, we can clearly see two types of people, one is the monk, and the other is the thieves. In order to make ends meet, the monk refused to have food, which made Lu Zhishen curse when he found the food. This is human nature. After all, people don’t like to give away things that sustain their lives to others. And the monk lied, which can't help but frighten us. After all, the monk has six pure roots and all four elements are empty. It can be seen from this that these monks have not truly returned to Buddhism.

As for thieves, it is simply inappropriate. People are practicing Buddhism here. Why do you drive them away and force them to have nowhere to stay? From the old monk's mouth, we learned that the thieves seemed to have some skills. Otherwise, how could the two of them drive away so many monks? So it was expected that Lu Zhishen could not defeat them later.

Cui Daocheng and Qiu Xiaoyi don’t seem to have a big reason! Is it just to have sex with the snatched women here? I think it’s not just this! If they wanted to have sex, depending on their skills, they could go to Wang Youjin's house to do it openly, or they could go to the county brothel to have more fun. My guess is mainly due to public opinion. However, it seems insufficient for them to destroy a temple just for the sake of having sex in a place where Buddhism is pure. So I personally think that these two people must have other bigger reasons, or they may go down the mountain to seize wealth and send the stolen money here. Are there any other reasons? No one can tell for sure, I think only the author himself knows it. There once was a story that was hard to believe. Earlier, I said that the story of the two brothers' quarrel over the pumpkin vine is a clear example of this.

It is only reasonable that Lu Zhishen was at a disadvantage due to the injustice. Some studies have shown that when people are hungry, they want to snooze, and it is difficult to exert more physical strength. However, the story here and the following story about seeking revenge with Shi Jin tells us that a good man will not suffer the immediate loss, and a gentleman will never be too late to take revenge after ten years. Being sharp is temporary, this is the law of nature. We cannot overestimate ourselves and think that we need the wind to get the wind and the rain to get the rain. After all, the wind needs the flow of air, and the rain needs the accumulation of clouds. After we see the current situation clearly, if during the trial run, we feel that we are unable to control it, then we should think of an empty place and would rather be a rabbit and leave first. Then, if we work harder, we will eventually get what we want. However, what I state here is that I support doing righteous things, not evil things.

After Lu Zhishen arrived at Xiangguo Temple, the actions of Na Zhiqing and others made me think of two more questions. First, image is likely to affect your future. When you apply for a manager position in a group company, you will wear formal clothes such as suits instead of ordinary casual clothes. This is the image. So the image issue is very important. But Lu Zhishen committed an image taboo, which made people doubt him. "Zhike Monk came out and saw the fierceness of Lu Zhisheng, holding an iron Zen staff, straddling a sword, and carrying a big package. At first, he was very afraid of him."

Secondly, previous stains will also affect him. Your future today. For example, if you have a criminal record, not only the police will always pay attention to you, but even the company will be wary of you. Lu Zhishen had killed someone before and was wanted by the government, so Zhiqing and others were hesitant to treat him and refused to give him important positions. Through this episode, we must always remember that we must not break the law, do not have a criminal record, and do not care about our image, because these two points have a profound impact on the job you are applying for and other things.

After reading the sixth chapter of Water Margin (2)

Summary: After Wu Song said goodbye to Songjiang, he walked for a few days and came to Yanggu County. He went to a hotel to eat Eighteen bowls of wine, and we have to go to Jingyanggang. At first, Wu Song went up to the hill in a somewhat drunken state. He didn't believe there was a tiger on Jingyang Hill at first, thinking that the store owner was deliberately deceiving him and scaring him, asking him to stay in the store. However, he is very talented and bold, and believes that "even if there are big insects, I am not afraid of them." It wasn't until I read the seal list of Guyang County that I realized that there really was a tiger. When I was about to retreat, I had no choice but to say the big words. I was afraid of being laughed at, so I had to bite the bullet and keep moving forward.

When he arrived at the hill, he was overcome by alcohol. He staggered and was about to lie down on the big bluestone to sleep. After a gust of wind, a large white-fronted insect jumped out. Wu Song said "Ah!" and was so shocked that he broke into a cold sweat. At this time, he had no time to hesitate and could only accept the challenge. After first dodging the tiger's three fierce attacks, including a pounce, a lift, and a scissor, he immediately raised his stick to strike. However, in a moment of panic, he mistakenly hit the stick on a branch and broke the whistle stick into two pieces. But he immediately calmed down, calmly responded to the challenge, punched and kicked, used all his strength and all his life skills to beat the tiger to death.

Feelings: Because of the specific writing, everything is brought to life. This description of body movements gives readers a vivid and vivid impression. It seems that everything is vivid in that line of sight, including the attack and kicking of the big insect, Wu Song's dodging and dodging, and even Wu Song's cold sweat when he was surprised. After the big insect was beaten, the blood in his eyes, teeth, mouth and nose all made people feel like they were there. See. The vivid description and narrative are mixed with short paragraphs of discussion, and it is quite interesting to briefly discuss the three martial arts of the big insect. The author's small discussions while busy made the readers feel relieved, and the writing became more lively and tortuous. The entire language is extremely accurate, concise yet rich. Especially the training of verbs is very skillful and worth experiencing slowly.

After entering, he returned to the temple for the second time, killed the two thieves Cui and Qiu, and burned down the Crock Temple.

This time the protagonist Lu Zhishen did both good and bad things. The good thing was that he and Shi Jin killed the scum who corrupted Buddhism. However, because Lu Zhishen could not win and escaped, the old monks were worried Those two Buddhist scum would kill them, so they had to hang themselves. We must do more good deeds and avoid bad deeds as much as possible. If we make a mistake, we must apologize first and remember the lesson. Don’t make the same mistake again and again!

Reflections after reading the sixth chapter of Water Margin (Part 3)

This time it is written about Lu Zhishen’s bravery and generosity once again, and the road was uneven, and the person who was saved was a weak woman. . In the dark society at that time, where bandits were rampant and the government was corrupt, women were the weakest group and they could easily become victims. Lu Zhishen was unable to find a place to live after he made trouble with Buddhism. Elder Zhizhen recommended that he go to Tokyo's Xiangguo Temple to seek a family background. He encountered this incident on the way. Based on Lu Zhishen's situation at that time, he could not care about this matter because he had to settle down and make a living for himself. Nothing has been resolved, but Lu Zhishen is Lu Zhishen. When encountering such injustice, he has to take care of it and take care of it to the end, even if he loses his own future because of the injustice. In the process of teaching Zhou Tong a lesson, Lu Zhishen's wisdom was also reflected, which really impressed me. He was not like Li Kui who was blind and reckless, but he carefully designed a trap himself, so that he could teach Zhou Tong a lesson without affecting others. Other innocent people gave Zhou Tong, the robber who bullied men and women, a good beating. When I saw this, I not only felt relaxed and happy...

Zhou Tong’s sworn brothers Li Zhong and Lu Zhishen knew each other. Through this relationship, Zhou Tong and Lu Zhishen reconciled. After Lu Zhishen's adjustment, Zhou Tong promised not to embarrass Liu Taigong's daughter anymore. He invited Lu Zhishen to the village to have a drink, and went down the mountain to steal money to give to Lu Zhishen. Lu Zhishen looked down on their behavior and left resolutely. , seeing this, I thought that as both members of the 108 heroes, Zhou Tong and Li Zhong were in sharp contrast to Lu Zhishen. Under the brilliance of Lu Zhishen, Zhou Tong, Li Zhong and others looked so insignificant and insignificant. ...

Lu Zhishen is like the savior of the weak in this decadent society. I think if the Song Dynasty had more such chivalrous heroes, then the world would be very peaceful, and the Northern Song Dynasty would not be the same. In the end, he ended up being destroyed by the Kingdom of Jin!
