About This Novel

"Water Margin" is one of China's four famous novels. It is a novel describing an ancient peasant uprising. The novel originated from the story of the peasant uprising of 36 people including Song Jiang in the late Northern Song Dynasty. It gradually developed and matured through storytelling, opera and other performance forms in the Jin and Yuan Dynasties; and through the artistic processing of these artists, it was compiled into scripts and dramas and was widely sung among the people. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Shi Naian and his student Luo Guanzhong carried out artistic re-creation on the basis of folk tales, scripts and operas, and thus wrote the first Chinese vernacular article novel "Water Margin". The book depicts a number of well-known heroes represented by Song Jiang, Wu Yong, Lu Zhishen, Lin Chong, Wu Song, Li Kui, Sun Erniang, etc. The 108 Liangshan heroes have different origins, experiences and encounters, representing people from different levels of society. They also highlight the general theme of the chaotic government forcing the people to rebel, and reflect the citizens' pursuit of life to resist tyranny and yearn for freedom.
