Song Wu and Li Kui are two famous heroes in Water Margin. They occupy an important position in the Water Margin, and they are also two characters portrayed in the novel. Both Song Wu and Li Kui jy are good at martial arts, and they have also killed tigers, while Li Kui jy killed four tigers at once, but after killing tigers, Li Kui jy's fame is far less than Song Wu's. There are many reasons, roughly as follows.
First, Song Wu was not famous before he killed the tiger, and few people in the Jianghu knew him. Even if Song Jiang said to him at Chai Jin Villa, "Wu Erlang's name is widely known in the rivers and lakes. It's lucky to meet him unexpectedly here today!" This is actually just Song Jiang's consistent means to win people's hearts. When Song Jiang met people for the first time, he either kowtowed or gave up his seat, calling himself a "minor" and a "guilty official". When we meet for the first time, it is always easier to get the favor of others by wearing a high hat.
Li Kui jy was famous in the Jianghu before killing tigers, especially the word "black whirlwind". Gui Li used the reputation of jy in Li Kui to cut the diameter in the Woods. Passers-by would drop their bags and run for their lives as long as they heard the word "black whirlwind". It can be seen that jy in Li Kui was much more famous than Song Wuxiang before fighting tigers, and jy in Li Kui was not famous by fighting tigers. Song Wu became famous for fighting tigers, and the so-called silence was a blockbuster.
Second, after Song Wu killed the tiger, people from ordinary people to county officials cheered for him and publicized him widely. He became a figure in the streets and lanes. Song Wu did several things that shook the Jianghu one after another, and he dared to do them. He often said when competing with others, if there is anything, the big bug on Jingyanggang is an example, or after killing people, he left behind "the murderer, killing the tiger and killing the Song Wu!" . Leaving the words "Song Wu Heizai" can show that Song Wu killed him, but he never forgot to add the word "kill the tiger". Fighting tigers has become his symbol, just like the current trademark. Famous brands can't be without trademarks, and Song Wu can't be without tigers. "Beating the tiger" can be used to scare opponents, and it can also be used to publicize yourself when showing that you are a brave person who dares to do things. Song Wu's brand awareness is still very strong.
Killing tigers in jy, Li Kui is something that the government pursues. He kept his name a secret. After killing the tiger, the local people asked him his last name, and he was afraid to tell his real name, let alone publicize it for himself.
Third, what Song Wu did after killing the tiger was called a heroic act by Jianghu people, which made people respect. Jin Shengtan is also known as Song Wu's "God Man!" . Song Wu pays great attention to his image when he does things. Every time he does something, he always finds a proper reason for his behavior. When he recaptured the Happy Forest for the Emperor (the relationship between the Emperor and Jiang Menshen is also a black matter in the Jianghu), he once said: "Don't guess that you are my master, I have no interference with him (referring to the Emperor). I never thought of hitting such an immoral person. If I see a rough road, I will really draw my sword to help, and I am not afraid of death. " How aboveboard you are! So people are happy to name Song Wu.
Li Kui jy's actions are basically hard work for Song Jiang, and they are indiscriminate and reckless. He raised his axe and cut it at the highest price. These are all acts of killing innocent people, and they are all done by barbarians. He only cares about "eating me and killing me", killing officers and soldiers, and then killing people. When the people ran away, even the monks and Taoists were cut down. People won't be famous for Li Kui jy, unless it's to scare children.
Fourth, Song Wu took a whistle stick with him before he killed the tiger, but it didn't come in handy, because he accidentally split the whistle stick on a branch and killed a white-fronted beast with his bare hands. Li Kui jy killed four white-fronted beasts with broadsword and ju. For Song Wu, killing tigers is both difficult and dangerous, which makes him a hero. It is easy for Li Kui jy to kill four tigers, but it is difficult to show his bravery. oneself
Fifth, Li Kui jy didn't fight tigers like Song Wu did, which left a deep impression on readers, and also had a very important relationship with their different specific writing methods in the novel. Transferred from club.china.com
When Shi Naian was writing "Fighting Tiger with Song Wu", he started from three bowls, laying the groundwork layer by layer, and created momentum with a pen. As the plot of the novel unfolds, readers are sometimes nervous and worried, and sometimes easily admire. The novel depicts the characters from the aspects of language, action and psychology, which makes the protagonist Song Wu leave a deep impression on the readers. Through the description of the environment, the novel also renders the tension and fear atmosphere before the tiger was killed. "(Song Wu) came to the post step by step. When I look back on this day, I gradually degenerate. " Jin Shengtan has a wonderful comment on this sentence: "Horrible scene. At this time, there will be no tigers coming, and I will cry. " When Song Wu first saw the blade with white forehead, he let out a cry of "Ouch". The more human nature it is, the more it shows the great power of Song Wu. At this time, the reader's heart will be lifted. Since then, the struggle between man and tiger has become more thrilling.
Li Kui jy killed four tigers. Although he also wrote that he was sad because his mother was eaten by a tiger, he was relaxed and frank in the process of killing tigers, just like a child's play, which was far less attractive to readers than Song Wu's killing tigers.
