Sweeping Through Water Margin

Sweeping Through Water Margin, also known as Sweeping Through the Water Margin, is a fifty-chapter sequel to the Jin-pi edition of Water Margin, written by Dutou Yunge. While writing it, the author gathered and consulted scattered historical records about the Song Jiang uprising, including official histories, scholars' notes, and epitaphs, as well as folk legends and modern and contemporary studies and papers on Water Margin. Using these sources and reasonable imaginative reconstruction, the author seeks to portray the full course of Liangshan's decline after its great gathering, along with the fates of its heroes, presenting readers with another possible account of what might have happened after the Liangshan gathering, based on historical materials.
