. This shows that when the heroes of the Water Margin were in the midst of the peasant struggle, the people imagined and portrayed them with their own thoughts, making the story continue to develop.
The first chapter of "Water Margin" did not mention any Water Margin heroes, nor did it write about any corrupt officials. It starts at five o'clock on March 3rd, the third year of Jiayou's reign in the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty. At that time, it was the early dynasty, and an official reported that the plague was rampant. Renzong immediately ordered a general amnesty for the whole country and exempted taxes to save the people. But the plague got worse the next year, so Fan Zhongyan suggested that Hong Xin find Zhang Tianshi's method to eliminate the plague.
But Taiwei Hong is not a trustworthy person. He is not determined and full of curiosity. He went to invite Zhang Tianshi, but he was frightened by two harmless beasts halfway up the mountain and was too scared to move forward. He also heard a shepherd boy's discouraging words to him, so he returned to the Taoist temple at the bottom of the mountain, saying that he would look for him again in a few days. In fact, the shepherd boy was Zhang Tianshi, but Hong Xin didn't know it. Fortunately, the Heavenly Master knew the truth and went down the mountain to practice it. When Hong Xin learned about the situation, he showed off his official power and visited the Sanqing Pavilion. He refused to listen to others' dissuasion and actually released all 108 demon kings in the "Palace of Demon Suppression", causing trouble.
The first chapter of "Water Margin" is not very long, but it completely describes the background of the origin of Water Margin and the situation of the world at that time. Although there were decades of peace, disasters followed one after another. The cause of these disasters was Gao Qiu.
●The reading notes of the second chapter of Water Margin
It uses a short story about Gao Qiu's rise as an introduction. Because Gao Qiu's success is a portrayal of the decadent life of the feudal dynasty, he describes him as a negative character and also shows the political background of the Water Margin Uprising. I think "Water Margin" is not all about the struggle between the Liangshan rebels and Gao Qiu, but more about extending to the entire Song Dynasty in the different encounters of each hero, depicting who will succeed in the Song Dynasty complex.
Because "Water Margin" is a historical literary novel, there are indispensable traces of literature. It showed up in the first episode. Poems and beautiful and vivid descriptions are used many times in the article, which adds a lot to this novel.
