Chapter 206 Random Guessing When "Water Margin" was Completed ([-])
"Wutou and Chuwei" is first of all a geographical term.

In "Water Margin", Song Jiang wrote anti-poems in Xunyang Tower, Jiangzhou (now Jiujiang), and was buried in Liaoerwa outside the south gate of Chuzhou (Huai'an) after his death.

"Wu head and Chu tail" as a geographical term, I personally think it should come from the story of "Wu Zixu".

It can be roughly clarified that Wu Zixu's geographical scope before crossing the river during the period of "passing Zhaoguan, meeting Huansha girl, and Yuqiudu" before "Zhuzhu assassinates the king and Liao" belongs to "Wu head and Chu tail".

Based on the only two ancient ferries in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, "Wujiang Ferry and Yuqiu Ferry" (in ancient times, the lower reaches of the Yangtze River entered the sea, passed Jingkou and Zhenjiang, and the river surface was very wide. Even in the Yuan Dynasty, it was no longer suitable for "people in Luzhong". kind of series of ferry).They are all located in Hezhou, known as the "Jinling Lock and Key".

Zhang Xiaoxiang of the Southern Song Dynasty was a native of Hezhou, and he called Hezhou "the land where the head of Wu and the tail of Chu are".

Wu Zixu crossed the river from Yuqiu and entered "Wu". From the map, it is indeed the closest straight-line distance to Wudu.

"Wu head and Chu tail":
It starts from "Jiangzhou (Jiujiang)" in the west, and the central axis is "Hezhou". According to "Water Margin", it ends in "Chuzhou (Huai'an)" in the east.

Due to the inconvenient transportation and the chaos of war, even "Nai'an" and "Huhai Sanren" experienced the life territory of the ancients, that is, the geographical scope is not large.

"Water Margin" is a "realistic" text of a long novel before the Ming Dynasty. Not to mention the distinctive regional characteristics of the language in the text, it is said that the geographical description of "Zheng Fangla" is far more detailed and well-founded than "Zheng Liao".Therefore, it is only natural for the author to place the "ups and downs" of the life of Song Jiang, the core character of the book, in "Wutou and Chuwei" (Li Kui's life ups and downs are also at Wutou and Chuwei: Jiangzhou, Zhenjiang Runzhou).

Since the writing, narrative, and characterization of the second half of "Water Margin" have dropped too much, I am not sure whether "the end of a hundred chapters" is the "original writing" or "original meaning" of "Nai'an".

According to the ending of "Water Margin", although Song Jiang was framed by Gao Qiu and died in "Chuzhou", after his death:
"The people of Chuzhou are grateful for Song Jiang's benevolence, loyalty and righteousness, build ancestral halls, and enjoy sacrifices at all seasons."

This ending not only corresponds to the theme of "loyalty" in the title prefix of the existing publications of Water Margin since Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, but also connects the "Nine Heavens Profound Girl" with Song Jiang's story of "Song Jiang returning to the throne of heaven as the star master" " round pit".

It is located in the "southeast side" of Chuzhou at the "head of Wu and the tail of Chu". According to today's itinerary, it is about a hundred kilometers away, which is the "Baijuchang" in "Xinghua", where the "Eighteen Sons" of Zhang Shicheng's Beiji Temple gather At the same time, it is also the place where Shi Naian lived in seclusion and wrote a book (although it is logically logical, there is still no evidence for the name "Nai'an").

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, especially after the defeat of Zhang Shicheng, those "Yuanyi" and "Nai'an" and "Huhai Sanren" who were not willing to submit to Zhu Yuanzhang who were related to Zhang Shicheng avoided war and seclusion. According to the notes, one is in "Songjiang", and the other is "Xinghua".

Xinghua is also the place where the head of Wu and the tail of Chu are.

Although "Nai'an" is a "room name", interpreting life conditions from nouns is fundamentally different from "Jianghai Sanren". Of course, "Jianghai Sanren" is different from Luo Guanzhong, a 1364-year-old man who was recorded by Jia Zhongming before 40.The two are not the same kind of people at all.

"An": a domed thatched house, and it is not open to the public.

For example: the "Tao'an" of "Zhang Dai", a survivor of the Qing Dynasty, according to his emotions and moods expressed in the preface of "Tao'an Mengyi", and his personal opinion, "Tao'an" should be: the hut of his relatives (his mother) (Ling An).

The "resistant" in "Nai'an" is personally interpreted as "endurable" and "capable".I personally think that there are many people with "ability" in this world, and those with "capability" are the rarest.

As the top writing master in the Chinese dynasty who can write texts such as "Water Margin", he can be praised by many literary and artistic theories since Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty. He really can't ignore every kind of "naming" in his works, let alone It is related to the naming of his own state of mind.

And Zhang Dai's "Tao Temple" expresses "the past is prosperous, but it is empty in a blink of an eye, the past is sloppy, after the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, it is unkempt, like a savage... all want to self-determination...doubt is the retribution...repent (at the relatives' Lingan)... ..." The mood is absolutely different.

What is the "an" in "Nai'an"? Why "resistant"?
