Is Ximen Qing's death in Water Margin really just because of "the disaster caused by lust"?

On the surface, Ximen Qing's death was caused by lust, but in essence, he died not of lust, but of? Betrayal and betrayal? . The whole story of Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian is about betrayal and betrayal. Based on ethical stories, Shi Naian has given a higher level of meaning.

So, what is the deeper meaning of Ximen Qing's death?

Why Pan Jinlian is 93 years old

It is a common view that Pan Jinlian and Pan Qiaoyun in Water Margin are metaphors of two ministries of Zhang Shicheng, the rebel leader at the end of Yuan Dynasty, that is, Pan Yuanming and Pan Yuanshao brothers who betrayed Zhang Shicheng.

in 1366, Li Wenzhong attacked Hangzhou, and the commander Pan Yuanming surrendered to Zhu Yuanzhang. Pan Yuanshao, the son-in-law of Zhang Shicheng, who was guarding Suzhou, also killed seven wives and surrendered to Zhu Yuanzhang under the attack of Chang Yuchun. The betrayal of the Pan Shi brothers led to the overthrow of the Zhou regime, and Zhang Shicheng was captured and then hanged himself.

It seems reasonable to mock the betrayal of Pan Yuanming and Pan Yuanshao by the shameless infidelity of Pan Jinlian and Pan Qiaoyun. This argument should be based on Shi Naian, right? Shi yanduan? , was once a rumor of Zhang Shicheng's staff. In fact, Zhang Shicheng's downfall was not only due to the surrender of the Pan Shi brothers, or rather, the surrender of Pan Yuanming and Pan Yuanshao to Zhu Yuanzhang was not the most direct cause of Zhang Shicheng's demise.

Ming History records that Li Wenzhong attacked Hangzhou, and it was Xie Wu, not Pan Yuanshao, who surrendered in Kaicheng. Besides, "Ming history? Taizu biographies "in the evaluation:? Pan Yuanming's whole city has defected, and the people are not affected by the front? Pan Yuanming's practice conforms to the idea of Shi Naian's Water Margin. Peace in the world? People's talent? Have some fun? .

Suzhou fell because Zhang Shicheng didn't listen to people's words, stuck in an isolated city, and was arrogant and extravagant. In the end, Chang Yuchun, who was brave and resourceful, broke the city, which was self-defeating, and Pan Yuanshao should not be allowed to take the fall.

Shi Naian wouldn't be so foolish as to blame the Pan Yuanming brothers for Zhang Shicheng's failure. Even, let the whole city people suffer, is by no means endorsed by Shi Naian. In addition, it is said that Pan Jinlian is a metaphor for Pan Yuanming, so what about Ximen Qing? Isn't he more innocent?

To solve Ximen Qing's death, we have to start with Pan Jinlian.

Ximen Qing met Pan Jinlian, and his soul was taken away. I think this is a very normal thing, and it is not worth criticizing Ximen Qing. However, because of the appearance of Wang Po, Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian hooked up and became traitors, which eventually led to the deterioration of the situation and the murder because of the exposure of adultery. Therefore, Wang Po is undoubtedly the grave digger in Ximen Qing.

Ximen Qing coveted Pan Jinlian's beauty and asked Wang Po about this woman. At that time, Wang Po said something very strange:

That lady Wuyinsheng, a tiger, was exactly 93 years old in the New Year.

This sentence is not conspicuous in Water Margin, which is a joke made by Wang Po at Ximen Qing. However, it is this sentence. Funny? Shi Naian's intention to write stories about Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian is also the root cause of Ximen Qing's death.

So, how does Wang Po's statement imply that Ximen Qing died suddenly?

Pan Jinlian is three years younger than Wu Song.

Pan Jinlian was originally a good woman, a strong woman who was not afraid of the arrogance of a large owner. Because of Wu Dalang's incompetence, he gradually degenerated into? Stealing men for the head? Bad woman. Wu Dalang to avoid Qinghe county? Treacherous floating children? Entanglement, moved to yanggu county.

Before hooking up with Ximen Qing, Pan Jinlian seduced Wu Song first. According to the book, Pan Jinlian asked Wu Song about his youth geometry, and Wu Song replied that he was twenty-five years old this year. Pan Jinlian's extremely charming age of self-violence, said: Long slave is three years old? .

It turns out that Wang Po was not joking. Pan Jinlian was born in Wuyin, a tiger, and was exactly 93 years old. Why?

9+1+3=22, isn't Pan Jinlian? Ninety-three Years old?

The story of Water Margin has a hidden time sequence. The weight of Lu Zhishen's mord tells us that sixty-two years later, from the third year of Jiayou (158), it was the first year of Song Huizong Xuanhe (1119). So, during this period, is there a Wuyin year? Indeed, in the first year of Song Zhezong Yuanfu, in 198 AD, the official branch was Wuyin. Pan Jinlian is twenty-two years old, that is to say, this story happened in 112 AD, that is, the second year of Song Huizong Xuanhe.

when Shi Naian writes a book, he doesn't mess around, and the time sequence is very strict. Wang Po said that Pan Jinlian is a tiger, which is actually a time node of the story of Water Margin.

counting further up, Wu Song should have been born in 195, the second year of Zongshaosheng in Song Zhe, and was a pig.

However, it is almost meaningless to write like this in Water Margin. Shi Naian's story basically doesn't involve anything in Song Zhezong.

moreover, Wang Po added a special word when introducing the age of Pan Jinlian? New year? . In other words, Pan Jinlian is only twenty-two years old to turn over the New Year. Isn't this very contradictory?

Of course, Pan Jinlian may be talking about nominal age, while Wang Po is talking about real age. In fact, according to the custom, men talk about emptiness and women talk about reality. There is no same story about imaginary age and real age. This is a text contradiction.

Is Shi Naian so careless? Not at all. The Water Margin is written in this way, which is of great significance. Besides,? Think carefully and fear? .
