When Lin Chong first arrived at the forage field, "it was winter weather, with dense clouds and a rising north wind, but it was already snowing." When I arrived at the forage field, "looking at the thatched cottage on my back, I looked around in a mess and was shaken by the north wind." When I went out to sell wine, "it snowed heavily." When I came back from selling wine, I said, "Look at this snow, it is getting tighter and tighter at night."
These descriptions make readers deeply impressed by the snowstorm at that time. Although there is not much pen and ink used in the description of the scenery, both direct description and side comparison have played a role in promoting the development of the plot layer by layer and gradually reaching a climax. At the same time, it also plays up the atmosphere and sets off the character.
Dense red clouds, whistling north winds, flying snow, dilapidated forage fields and lonely ancient temples have formed a desolate, lonely and cold atmosphere. The burning flames of "peeling off the ground" and "scraping off impurities" on the forage fields also set off Lin Chong's rebellious anger.
Working background
Lin's Snow Mountain Temple is the tenth chapter of Water Margin, one of China's four classic novels. After 800,000 imperial coach Lin Chong was stabbed, after many twists and turns, he was assigned to guard the forage field. As my residence collapsed due to heavy snow, I had to spend the night in a dilapidated mountain temple.
That's why I happened to hear Lu Qian, Fuan and Chapo talking outside and learned that I was framed and almost killed. Angry Lin Chong finally broke out, stabbing three people with a gun and taking out Lu Qian's heart by caesarean section. It can be said that it was this incident that made Lin Chong's only beautiful vision of officialdom go up in smoke and was forced to rebel.
This passage is taken from the tenth chapter of Water Margin, which is an important chapter for Lin Chong to move from resignation to perfection. It is also the most typical example of feudal society in which officials forced the people to rebel, which can help us understand the inevitability of the oppressed in feudal society taking the road of resistance.
