Novel of the Qing Dynasty: Fighting Against the Kou Zhi (12)
by Yu Wanchun
About This Novel
"Dang Kou Zhi" is a continuation of the Ming Dynasty novel "Water Margin" by the Chinese Qing Dynasty novelist Yu Wanchun, also known as "The Complete Story of the Water Margin" or "The Water Margin". It was drafted in the sixth year of Daoguang and written in the twenty-seventh year of Daoguang. There were "three changes to the draft" in the middle, which lasted for 22 years. Because the author lived in the era before the Taiping Rebellion, thieves were rampant in the country. The author felt that China was suffering from thieves at that time, so he hated thieves deeply, which inspired his creation. There are also opinions that "Dang Kou Zhi" is actually a work that uses "qubi" to praise "Water Margin". Yu Wanchun is a die-hard Water Margin fan. There is a lot of "self-irony" in "Dang Kou Zhi", and its main theme is actually the same as the version of "Water Margin" before it was cut in half. Yu Wanchun wrote "Dang Kou Zhi" on the surface to vilify the Liangshan heroes, but in fact he used "self-vilification" to praise "Water Margin".
