The image of Lin Chong in Water Margin: Is it mean or drag out an ignoble existence?

When Lin Chong, the leopard head, is mentioned, people will naturally think of the commander of the 800,000 imperial army. This seems to be a very prominent title, giving Lin a sense of prestige in all directions. In fact, we were all cheated by this "coach".

In the Northern Song Dynasty, the imperial army was the regular army of the imperial court, and trained many "coaches" to teach martial arts, such as boxing, guns and sticks, and coaches like Lin Chong. They are a dime a dozen in the imperial army, and they are also the lowest-level instructors, a dirty errand, equivalent to the non-commissioned officers in the "professional soldiers", as well as coaches, patrol instructors and patrol instructors.

After Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin proclaimed himself emperor, he formed his own unique official system, which was divided into official, post and difference. With an official title, you only have a certain level and get paid. Position refers to having some honorary titles and related qualifications; Poverty is the power you really exercise. It's hard to figure out the whole thing without being sent. And the eight hundred thousand imperial coach has no official position, just a small messenger. To put it bluntly, it means working, listening to songs and drinking.

Treacherous court official Gao Qiu appeared in water margin. This Gao Qiu official is Qiu, who is in charge of the imperial army in front of the temple (the imperial army in the Northern Song Dynasty was actually divided by Sima Bu in front of the temple and Ma Junsi in the guards), but the difference is that the official in front of the temple manages the staff above the coach. It can be said that Gao Qiu, ranked first, is not a bit worse than another 800,000 imperial coach, Wang Jin Linchong.

Lin Chong lived a little timid and was a humbled hero. His personality is distorted by the times. His personality is inherently flawed, that is, he is born with a weak Confucian spirit, sometimes unlike a man, which embodies the word "forbearance" and makes people helpless.

Even the forbearance made him bullied and tortured. Gao Qiu's son Gao Yanei took a fancy to Lin Chong's wife and openly molested her. As a man, Lin Chong can't stand up and protect her. He was afraid of Gao Qiu's power, so he cherished himself as a mustard junior official and ate the "imperial salary" coach. He tried to endure, submit to humiliation, thinking that Gao Qiu would not push his luck.

But he forgot that Gao Yanei was infatuated with his woman, and he couldn't have done it without his hand. So Gao Qiu was bent on killing him, forcing him to be cornered and humiliating Liangshan; Wang Lun took him in, although the process was a bit tortuous. Wang Lun, a down-and-out scholar, has his own difficulties. He didn't take in the classical strongman, but also had his own considerations. My website is my master. On a whim, Lin Chong was taken in by the villain Wu Yong and killed Wang Lun. On the surface, he is very manly and brave. It's a bit disloyal to consider this.

Since Song Jiang became the Lord of the shanzhai, he hated Lin Chong in his heart. With his strength, Lin Chong is stronger than Song Jiang. When Chao Gai died, he told us that whoever caught the man who shot him would become a Liangshan hero. The implication is that Lin Chong took over. However, by virtue of his wrist, Sung River directly took over Liangshan, grandly changed the last words of Classical, making it the master of the shanzhai that can catch Shi Wengong, and then "invited" Lu Junyi to suppress Lin Chong up the mountain.

Lin Chong is a coward, which is also related to his life experience. He has no idea of being a cottage owner. Only he knows the pain and humiliation in his heart.

On martial arts, Lin Chong is the top master in Liangshan, but through some information in the book, the author thinks that Wang Jin, who is also the head coach of the imperial army, will have higher martial arts. He only taught his apprentice Shi Jin for "half a year", and he is already a first-class expert in Liangshan. Although Lao Shi didn't arrange for Shi Jin to have too many opportunities to show his martial arts, Shi Jin met Lu for the second time, and the two men fought and killed the dog monk together. Moreover, Lin Chong has another disciple, Cao Zheng, who is a ghost who practices powers, and that martial arts belongs to the last stream.

Lin Chong, a sad and lamentable hero, lived a hard life and dragged out an ignoble existence. He is nothing more than dreaming of being reused by the imperial court, promoting to a higher position, sealing his wife and children, and offering sacrifices to his ancestors, so as to realize his ambition of "being born as a tripod and being sealed when he dies". But he died without reward and lost his dignity as a human being. He is helpless and a tragic figure.

The author loves and hates Lin Chong, and his heart is tangled with contradictions. Sometimes he sympathizes with his experience. How can people not bow their heads under the eaves? Sometimes I want to beat him up like a real man.

Facing life directly, Lin Chong is a humiliated and damaged image, which makes people think deeply!
