Did the author write about Lu Dapan's restaurant to save Jin Cuilian on purpose?

At that time, Shi Jin was looking for master Wang Jin, passing through Weizhou, and met Lu Zhishen, who was still in charge. Of course, Lu Zhishen was not a monk at that time, and his name was Lu Da.

Lu Zhishen has heard a lot about Shi Jin's reputation. Seeing that he is tall and looks like a hero, he invited him to drink. On the way, I met Shi Jin's first master, Jong Li, and the three of them went to Panjia Restaurant to drink together.

When I was drinking, I kept crying. When Lu Da asked, I knew it was Jin Cuilian. Later, as we all know, Lu Da asked Jin Cuilian's father and daughter, so he gave them fifteen taels of silver and killed the town of Kansai with three punches. First, he fled to the Jianghu, then became a monk, and then saved Lin Chong until he became an outlaw in Erlongshan and fell into Liangshan.

Before punching Zheng Tu in Kansai, Lu Zhishen saved Jin Cuilian's father and daughter in Panjia Restaurant. If you look closely, it contains the word "Pan Jinlian". Is this a coincidence, or did the author do it on purpose?

Some people say that this is to lead to the incident of Pan Jinlian, while others say that it is a hint that Pan Jinlian's appearance has harmed Wu Song and Jin Cuilian has also delayed Lu Da's future.

actually, personally, this is just a coincidence.

let's talk about Panjia restaurant first. In the history of the Song Dynasty, there was indeed a Panjia restaurant, but not in Weizhou (of course, Weizhou may also have it), but in Bianliang City, Tokyo. Besides Panjia Restaurant, Fan Lou, Hele Building, Huixian Restaurant, Xinle Building, Shilou, Banlou, Baxian Building and Taihe Building are also famous in Tokyo.

Shi Naian may have moved the Panjia restaurant in Tokyo to Weizhou. In the book, Panjia Restaurant, like Fan Lou, only represents high-end hotels and has no other meaning.

Jin Cuilian's name again. Jin Cuilian, occupied by Zheng Tu, is actually called "Ada". Ada is a plant, but it was often used as the name of young girls in ancient times.

In addition to Water Margin, there are many books in which Ada also appeared.

For example, in The Legend of Liu Yong, there was a girl named Bai Cuilian. In Legend of Heroes of Children, Bi Tong has two daughters, one of whom is Bi Cuilian; In the Biography of Tang Sanzang's Journey to the West, there is a Li Cuilian; In Baowentang Bibliography, there is a sharp-tongued Li Cuilian; In Jingjiang Baojuan, there is a Fang Cuilian and so on.

Not only in novels, but also in official records, several "Ada" have been mentioned.

One of the most famous "Cuilian" in the official history is one of the sixteen maids who tried to strangle Emperor Jiajing, named "Xing Cuilian", which was also mentioned in Wan Li Ye Bian. "A Record of Emperor Xiaozong of Ming Dynasty" also mentioned "Ada"; In A Record of Tongzhi Dynasty, a commoner "Guo Cuilian" is mentioned; It is said in Jiangning Fu Zhi that Zhao Huai had a concubine named Ada and so on.

As for "Golden Lotus", it can refer to a woman's feet wrapped in feet, so it is often used to refer to a woman, or even simply used as a woman's name. Pan Jinlian is an example.

In the poems, zaju, operas and novels of the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, there are more "golden lotus". If you look at the context, you will find that there is also "Song Yulian".

Therefore, whether it is "Panjia Restaurant" or "Cuilian" or "Jinlian", it is a very common place name and name in ancient times. The so-called "saving Jin Cuilian in Panjia Restaurant" includes "Pan Jinlian", which is just a coincidence at best, and it is not intentional by the author at all.
