arts /director

Wu Song and Lu Zhishen are the two most shining stars in Water Margin.

Both of them are heroes, both of them are chivalrous and righteous, both of them are righteous, both of them are very well-known, both of them are both leaders of the Liangshan infantry army, and the most important thing is that both of them are escaping into monks.

Lu Zhishen was truly ordained at Wenshu Temple in Mount Wutai, and Wu Song wore the toutu clothes given to him by Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang. After rolling in the world, he saw through the swords, guns, water and fire, and the warmth of human feelings. Finally, he was lonely at Liuhe Temple.

These two people are extremely well-known in Water Margin, and have their own fans and fans. Those who like Wu Song will think that Wu Song is the embodiment of a tough guy, while those who love Lu Zhishen even think that among the 108 generals in Water Margin, only Lu Zhishen lives the most transparent, the most casual, and the most perfect.

Both of them have experienced swords and swords, and they have seen through many things after experiencing them. Lu Zhishen has not cultivated good results in his life, but only likes to kill and set fire to comprehend life, while Wu Song has sublimated his life through revenge again and again. So who has more thorough understanding of life between these two people?

First of all, let’s look at Wu Song. Wu Song’s understanding is actually a process of dancing on the tip of a knife and fighting the world. If you don’t accept it, do it. If you dare to provoke me, I will dare to touch you. Therefore, Wu Song’s life is actually a head-on battle and never surrenders. This is a portrayal of Wu Song’s life.

It is precisely because of this personality and the attitude of repaying flaws that make his life completely different from others. He looks very happy, but he suffered a lot of losses and was almost killed many times. If he hadn't been good at martial arts, Wu Song would have been killed long ago.With Wu Dalang's murder and Wu Song killed Pan Jinlian with his own hands, Wu Song was basically silent when he went to Erlong Mountain and went to Liangshan.

What Wu Song saw through is that no matter how strong he is, he is actually unable to compete with life. No matter how hard his fist is, he will be touched and bleeding in the face of reality.However, Wu Song was a person who was absolutely unwilling to bow his head, so he simply became a monk named Liuhe Temple with one arm accompanied by a lonely lamp.

As for Lu Zhishen, he is a very Buddha-like person, but he does eat and drink, fight and kill on the surface. This is in a very strong contrast with his inner love, hatred of evil and full of justice.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this extreme contrast that he was able to sublimate one by one, making him a true enlightened person, from being a magistrate to going to Mount Wutai for Jin Cuilian and his daughter, being chased to save Lin Chong, and finally went to Erlong Mountain. After having no choice, he went to Liangshan again, and finally followed Song Jiang to fight north and north. Lu Zhishen experienced great enlightenment and finally passed away by listening to the tide by the Qiantang River.

Lu Zhishen does not eat vegetarian food, chant Buddhist scriptures, meditate, and is not bound by the rules and precepts. However, he used his actions to explain what is the true heroic and righteousness, what is the true good of helping evil and helping the weak and doing the way for heaven.

In the editor's opinion, Wu Song's understanding is passive and a personal enlightenment, while Lu Zhishen's understanding comes from a great enlightenment of life and the beauty of human nature, which may be their biggest difference.
