Li Kui jy's mother was eaten by a tiger. Sung river heard this, why do you want to laugh?

Shi Naian's manuscript of Water Margin has long been lost, and we don't know what its content is. At present, there are many versions circulating, all of which are compiled by later generations, and there are many elements deleted. Including 120, 100, 1 15, and 70 copies of Jin Shengtan.

The version of Water Margin has always been controversial. Jin Shengtan boasted that 70 times of his Water Margin were reviewed according to the "original content". There is also a folk saying that "Water Margin" has no plot to levy Fang La. There is also a saying that Jin Shengtan "halved" the Water Margin. It is hard to tell whether there is a plot to conquer Fang La in Shi Naian's works.

However, no matter how you argue, one thing is recognized. Jin Shengtan's evaluation of Water Margin is unconventional and full of charm, and he is the first person to comment on Water Margin.

-Li Kui jy's mother was eaten by a tiger, and Song Jiang and Classical laughed, actually from Jin Shengtan's Seventy Stories.

We can compare it. What is the difference between the copy of 120 and the copy of Jin Shengtan?

120 copy:

Li Kui jy paid homage to Sung River, returned two firewood knives, and told him to take his mother to Yiling, which was eaten by tigers, so he killed four tigers. He also said that the fake Li Kui jy was killed by scissors. Everyone laughed. Chao and Song said with a smile, "You killed four tigers, and there are still two live tigers in the thatched cottage today. Celebration is appropriate. "

Note that in the script of 120, Song Jiang and Classical are not laughing at the fact that Li Kui jy's mother was eaten, but mainly laughing at "true and false Li Kui jy". Li Kui jy killed four tigers and added two heroes to the fortress, which is something to celebrate. So everyone laughed and celebrated.

Let's look at Jin Shengtan's explanation:

Li Kui jy bowed to Song Jiang and criticized him: he bowed to Song Jiang alone and returned two axes, criticizing him: he told the story of the murder of fake Li Kui jy, and everyone laughed; Double criticism: this should be laughed at. First, everyone laughed, and Song Jiang laughed alone. He also told the story of killing a tiger. In order to take his mother to Yiling, the tiger ate him, and then he shed tears. Clip comment: Song Jiang, who writes the most human feelings, laughs.

Note that Song Jiang is laughing alone here. Let's take a look at Jin Shengtan's evaluation!

Song Jiang laughed at the big book, but everyone didn't laugh. Who are the husband and mother? What do tigers eat? The mother was eaten by a tiger, and the son shed tears. How does it feel? There is no need to mourn the saints after hearing the news, but all the people in the street mourn. What is Du Jiang's heart? He can't just mourn it, but laugh at it. Not just laughing, but laughing? Everyone in the world is a son, and everyone in the world is a son of man, so everyone has his own mother. If a river is not a human son, but a river is still a human son, then is there a mother who was eaten by a tiger and smiled as a human son? Who bullied Jiang and Taigong? The author was particularly impressed that in the first big book, Song Jiang was not allowed to pick up his mother, but in the second big book, Song Jiang laughed when he heard that the tiger ate his mother. Therefore, it is a historical regret that people who talk about loyalty and filial piety do not have a heart in their hearts.

Song Jiang smiled and said, "You killed four tigers. Today, two live tigers were added to the hut. I criticized them: I didn't feel sorry for others, but praised myself for adding tiger. Celebrate with integrity. " Editing criticism: I don't mourn my son, but I celebrate robbers. I hate Song Jiang's brushwork.

Jin Shengtan's evaluation mainly means that Shi Naian's Sung River is not a decent leader and is disgusted by Shi Naian!

I quite agree with Jin Shengtan's comments. Song Jiang of Shi Naian is obviously a false "benevolent" leader with duplicity and rhetoric. From when I was a policeman, neither the robber nor the government offended. Visit all over the country to cultivate power, and then return to the water margin to overhead classical. During this period, Song Jiang showed a lot of "hypocrisy", but in fact he was very hypocritical, biting and even cruel. ...
