Water Margin: up and Down (Four Great Classics: Audio Version)

"Water Margin", also known as "Water Margin", "Water Margin of Loyalty" and "Water Margin", is a representative work of heroic and legendary novels in Chinese classical chapter novels. This novel describes the story of one hundred and eight heroes led by Song Jiang during the Huizong period of the Northern Song Dynasty, who rose up in Liangshan to revolt, accepted recruitment, and fought everywhere. The Liangshan heroes depicted in the novel have vivid personalities and full images, reaching a very high artistic level. Therefore, it is highly praised by us as one of the "Four Great Masterpieces" of Chinese classical novels. "Water Margin" was re-created by Shi Naian and Luo Guanzhong in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties on the basis of widely circulated folk tales, scripts and operas. However, there is no unified version in history, but there are multiple versions with different contents. The most influential ones are the 100-chapter version and the 120-chapter version, as well as the 70-chapter version abridged by Jin Shengtan in the early Qing Dynasty. In comparison, the stories and texts in the 100-chapter edition are more complete and concise. The People's Literature Publishing House's "Water Margin" was compiled based on the 100-chapter edition of "Mr. Li Zhuowu's Criticism of Water Margin" published by Rong Yutang in the Ming Dynasty. In addition to adding new punctuation marks, the compiled version also provides necessary annotations for difficult words and dialects. This is a convenient and reliable version that is very suitable for readers.
