Loyalty in Water Margin

"Dedicate yourself to wealth, be loyal to the liver and be courageous", "Liangshan Hu Baoyi, Song Yuncheng Gong Ming" all these voices are shouting a name-Song Jiang. A dutiful son elder brother who puts filial piety first in the eyes of his father and brother, a chivalrous man who acts for heaven in the eyes of all people, and a hooligan who is a "Shui Bo bandit" in the eyes of the imperial court.

Song Jiang, a loyal minister in Shi Naian's works, is full of contradictions-he wants to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, but he laments that there is no way to serve the country. He wants to do justice and should not be labeled as "unfilial" or "rebellious". He made a difficult choice on the core issues of' loyalty to the monarch' and' benevolence and righteousness'.

Song Jiang is a "benevolent". The title of Hu belongs to him. Sad dramas such as Saving the Antique, Helping Song Wu and Three Beats to Tian Jiacun are still vivid in my mind. "A bowl of wine at the turn of life and death" is his life creed, and "being anxious for others" is his working principle. It is all this that has laid his lofty prestige and position among the General Baidan. From then on, it was a great honor to be in charge of the detective. How carefree it is to eat meat and drink in a big bowl; Rob the rich and help the poor, and do justice for heaven. How spectacular.

However, this is precisely the elegy that Shi Naian wrote for him. After all, Song Jiang also played the role of a small official in Yuncheng. There is an ambition in his bones to serve the country loyally to the Song Dynasty. "Dare to Laugh at the Husband of Huang Chao" is a poem written by Song Jiang in Wangjianglou. It seems that it disdains the wild words of the imperial court, but in fact it laments that he can't serve the country. But he forgot that in the decadent Zhao and Song Dynasties, Yuncheng petty officials had no living space, which was deplorable! Poor Liangshan, a hundred singles will be popular, but it ended in a sad end.

The interweaving of loyalty and righteousness made Song Jiang put down his once-clenched sword. The interweaving of loyalty and righteousness made Song Jiang choose to woo; The interweaving of loyalty and righteousness made Song Jiang choose the poisoned wine of the imperial court. The interweaving of loyalty and righteousness led to the tragedy in Liangshan. ...

Song Jiang fulfilled his mission. He lost himself in the interweaving of loyalty and righteousness, and finally chose loyalty-a seemingly beautiful road with no future.

Song Jiang is gone, perhaps, he will smile at the imperial court, and there is still no resentment, leaving only endless regrets and regrets to history and us!
