Actually, the reason why it is called Water Margin is not particularly particular. Water Margin actually means waterside. The name of this book is Water Margin, which means stories about heroes that happened on the Liangshan Mountains in Shuibo. So it's not a particularly special name.
Water Margin is where those Liangshan heroes gathered. Some of them are civilians, some work as minor officials, and some do small businesses. These people had nothing to do with each other and were all doing their own things. But some of them were forced by the government to rebel, some could not stand the suppression of the government, and some were aware of the darkness of society and participated voluntarily. But no matter what, they all gathered together in the end, and 108 leaders led a large number of ambitious people to form the large group of Shuibo Liangshan.
The name Water Margin is very down-to-earth. From the name you can find out what this book is mainly about. Although this name only has three words, it describes the main place where this book takes place and his things. It mainly talks about the things those heroes did in Water Margin, robbing the rich, giving to the poor, and eliminating harm for the people.
Water Margin, as one of the four ancient Chinese classics, has always played a decisive role in the development of our history. Many people may only understand it as a novel about killing and killing without any cultural color. You may feel that this novel is a bit too low compared to A Dream of Red Mansions, and the plot is quite bloody. But we should also read it often, and slowly we can realize the useful knowledge recorded in Water Margin that is useful to our lives.
