As for his birth, he is a quasi-surname and born short, so others have given him a nickname. He was born in a car family. He got rich on the way and robbed a guest, but he was arrested after the incident. Later, he escaped from prison and fled to Qingfeng Mountain in Qingzhou. Robbed the house with Jin Hu Yan Shun and her white-faced husband Zheng Tianshou.
His acquaintance with Song Jiang was also purely accidental. On one occasion, Song Jiang came to Qingfeng Village to go to Huarong Road, a little Li Guang. When passing by Qingfeng Mountain, I was caught by a group of minions. Wang Ying and three of his colleagues were drunk. Drunk Wang Ying was so drunk that he wanted to make sober soup with Sung River's heart. Sung river in the feeling be nasty under, called out his name, happened to be heard by Yan Shunzhi. The three talents learned that he was a timely rain in Shandong, and quickly untied him, bowed down and left him to live in Qingfeng Mountain for a while.
During this period, something happened between Wang Ying and Song Jiang. At that time, Gao Liu's wife passed by Qingfeng Mountain when she went to visit the grave, only to be found by some dreamers. And Wang Ying lewd, Liu Gao's wife caught up the hill, ready to play back to his room. Song Jiang aside thinks that such behavior is not a heroic move. Besides, she is the wife of a friend of Huarong's, so she advised Wang Ying to let her go and promised to be his matchmaker in the future. Yan Shun saw that Sung River was very determined, so he ignored Wang Ying's opinion and let Liu Gao's wife go. Although Wang Ying was very unhappy, she had to give up for the sake of friendship. Shortly thereafter, Song Jiang left Qingfeng Mountain.
Wang yuyi
In Water Margin, heroes have names and nicknames, but most of them are names. Except Wang Ying and Hu Sanniang, heroes only say their names or nicknames when they appear. In Water Margin, Wang Yingduo is called "Wang Aihu" and Hu Sanniang is called "Zhang". It can be seen that the name of Hu Sanniang appeared later, and the name of Wang Heyi has long been widely circulated among the people.
In Guan Hanqing's zaju Fei Yi Meng, there are two sentences: "Compared with taking Wang Dwarf Tiger, Zhang Qing must be entangled first". It can be seen that by the time of Guan Hanqing, the relationship between Wang and Yi had been confirmed and widely known.
Compared with Wang, except for his name and nickname, Lin Chong's image is basically shaped by the author of Water Margin. In other words, Lin Chong appeared much later than Wang. How can he shake the status of Wang and Zhang as husband and wife in the hearts of the people? Therefore, the author of "Water Margin" is partial to Lin Chong, so he can only marry Zhang to the king.
02. The tradition of a handsome wife and an ugly husband
In fact, this combination of handsome wife and ugly husband is not uncommon in folklore, and even often has unexpected comedy effects, such as Cheng and Pei Cuiyun, Qi, Tu and Deng Chanyu, Wang and Zhang. Therefore, although Water Margin is a heroic book and extremely generous, Wang Ying himself has a sense of joy.
As long as we read through the text of Water Margin, we can find that people like Rainbow Ying are basically the targets of attack, and they are greedy for money, lustful, cannibal and disloyal ... and basically have no advantage. Paradoxically, if people who haven't read the original water margin think that Wang Ying is a funny and lovely figure, it is the subtle result of various dramas, folk art and film and television dramas. Its source is this kind of handsome wife and ugly husband model with a sense of joy.
Hu Sanniang is a rare beauty in the water margin, and her events are often commented by later generations. The controversy about her mainly comes from her seemingly disproportionate marriage with Wang Ying and her bitter feud with jy of Liangshan Li Kui. Some critics also believe that Hu Sanniang's abnormal personality and performance need not be interpreted too much, perhaps just the author's original intention.
