Chapter 42 is a very critical link in the Water Margin. The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady called Song Jiang the "Song Star Lord" and awarded him three volumes of the Book of Heaven, ordering him to act on behalf of Heaven, be loyal and righteous, and assist the country and the people. This laid the necessary theoretical foundation for Song Jiang to eventually become the leader of Liangshan Village.

The significance of the words given by the Nine Heavens Xuannv
From the Water Margin, the content of the Heavenly Book is mainly about the art of war and hexagrams. Even so, the Book of Heaven itself is actually a kind of prophecy, that is, a mystical prophecy that foretells Song Jiang's future political status and destiny. But the more clear prophecy is the four heavenly words that the Nine Heavens Xuanzang told Song Jiang when she taught the Book of Heaven: "When you encounter a lot of joy, it is not bad when you are in a high place. In the north and in the south, there is harmony, and you will see wonderful achievements in both places."
It is time to return to the previous poem, praising Song Jiang for being the first to be filial and righteous, and thus receiving the divine book. The poem clearly points out that "everything is high when encountering a good place" is a prophecy: "It is not a fluke that the road leads to the road again, and the divine book is not accidental. When meeting a good person, it is not a fluke." The prophecy comes first when everything is high, and Song Jiangyuan is the Daluo Immortal. "Su" in "Enjoy Su Chongxi" refers to Su Yuanjing, the Taiwei in front of the palace.
This prophecy came true twice, once in the 59th chapter. Su Taiwei was ordered to go to Xiyue to pay incense. The Liangshan heroes intercepted him and put him under house arrest. They used his name to earn money and opened the city of Huazhou. , rescued Shi Jin and Lu Zhishen who were taken to prison. The other time was in Chapter 81. Through the relationship between Su Taiwei, Song Jiang and others finally achieved the political goal of recruiting the entire Liang Shanbo gang.
The "gao" in "High is not bad" refers to Gao Qiu, the commander-in-chief of the palace. Gao Qiu was a treacherous minister who specifically opposed Liangshan Bo and personally led an army to conquer Liangshan (chapter 78 to 80). However, this was not a bad thing for Liangshan. Gao Qiu was defeated and captured, and became the target of the Liangshan rebels who were recruited. important opportunity.
The "You" in the next two sentences refers to the Liao Kingdom in the north (Youzhou was occupied by the Liao Kingdom at the time), and "Mu" refers to the Fang La Rebel Army in the south (Muzhou is its base). These two prophecies predicted that after Song Jiang and others were recruited, they would conquer the Liao Kingdom in the north and capture Fangla in the south, making great achievements in both places.
According to Volume 7 of "The Encyclopedia of Searching Gods from the Origins of Three Religions", Nezha was originally a Daluo Immortal under the control of the Jade Emperor. He was later named the First General Envoy and the Commander-in-Chief of the Thirty-Six Members. Yongzhen Tianmen. Song Jiang is also known as Da Luo Xian in Water Margin. He is also a subordinate of the Jade Emperor and the leader of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gangs. Nezha was originally the leader of the rebellion, and Song Jiang was also the leader of the bandits. Nezha later corrected his evil ways, and Song Jiang He also invited An to surrender.
Song Jiang and Nezha have very similar origins and experiences, which is no accident. The prophecy of "everything goes well" clearly foretells the development trajectory of Song Jiang's gang of "murdering, setting fire, and being recruited". From the perspective of its importance, "everything goes well" can be the second prophecy in Water Margin.
