There are few materials about Shi Naian's life story, and some records collected are quite contradictory. Since the 1920s, some related materials have been found in Xinghua, Dafeng and other places in Jiangsu Province, such as Shi's genealogy and Shi's genealogy. In addition, supplement 13 of Xinghua County Records contains 65,438+0 biographies of Shi Naian, and supplement 14 contains 65,440 epitaphs of Shi Naian written by Wang Daosheng in the early Ming Dynasty.
According to the analysis of these materials:
Shi Naian is a descendant of Shi Zhi, one of the seventy-two sons of Confucius. The descendants of Shi Zhi in the late Tang Dynasty took Suzhou as their home. His father's name is Yuan De and his mother is Bian Shi (Bian Shi's descendants also moved to Dafeng City, Jiangsu Province).
Shi Naian is smart, studious, talented, filial and brave.
19 years old is a scholar, 28 years old is a juren, and 36 years old is a scholar with Liu Bowen.
He served as an official in Qiantang (now Hangzhou, Zhejiang) for three years. Because he was dissatisfied with the darkness of officialdom, he didn't want to meet dignitaries, gave up his official position and returned to his hometown. When Zhang Shicheng rose up against Yuan, Shi Naian took part in his military activities. After Zhang occupied the Soviet Union, he participated in the planning under his protection and was closely related to his Ministry. Later Shi Naian, Lu Yuan, Liu Liang, Chen Ji, etc. Disappointed, they left one after another because Zhang was greedy for pleasure and lacked advice. When he left Lu and Liu, he made a divertimento "New Water Farewell to Qiu Jiang" to express his generous grief. Soon, Zhang Shicheng died and the country was ruined. Stone travels all over the world, roaming in Shandong and Henan. He befriended her, was taught by Yuncheng County, and then lived with her teacher in the early days of the Xu family in Jiangyin. Later, he returned to his old white pony, unable to live in seclusion, and felt that the situation was going downhill. He wrote The Water Margin as his sustenance, and together with his disciple Luo Guanzhong, he wrote The Romance of the Three Kingdoms and The Biography of Sansui Pingyao. He is also good at poetry, but it is rarely circulated. Besides the divertimento Qiu Jiang Farewell, there are other poems handed down, such as Gu Ti's poems and Liu Liang's poems. Shi Naian hid in Huai 'an to avoid the Ming Dynasty conscription, died of illness and was buried on the spot at the age of 75. Decades after Shi Naian's death, Sun Wenyu's family business flourished, and his ancestor Naian was buried in Baiju West Lake (now Shijiaqiao Village, Xinduo Town, Xinghua City, Jiangsu Province), and Wang Daosheng was asked to write an epitaph.
In the 19th year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty (1540), Gao Ru's "Hundred Rivers Record" contained: "Loyalty and Righteousness Water Margin 100 Volume. Qiantangben Edited by Luo Guanzhong. " In the forty-five years of Jiajing, Lang Ying said in the Seven Drafts: "This book is Shi Naian Qiantang Book. During the Wanli period, Hu Yinglin pointed out in "Shao's Mountain House Pen Collection": "The Water Margin compiled by Zhongshi in Wulin is particularly popular. "Today, people agree that Shi Naian is the author of Water Margin. Others think it was co-authored by disciple Luo Guanzhong or a sequel by Luo Guanzhong.
Judging from the existing historical materials, Shi Naian still exists, but there are few records of his life story in the history books. Even though some materials are clearly recorded, the authenticity and credibility of the materials themselves have not been recognized so far. We think he is probably from Hangzhou and has lived in Hangzhou for at least a long time. Some people speculate that he may be a book club talent who specializes in writing scripts for storytellers, or he may be a storyteller who is good at writing calligraphy. He lived in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. My ancestral home is Gusu, my name is Zi An, and the word is An. He was born in Shen Bing (1296) and was born in Yuan Zhen. He is a young man and has written a good article. Later, he was a scholar of Shunzhi Xinweike (133 1). He also worked as an official in Qiantang for two years, but he was too ambitious to get it. Some people say that he had a good relationship with Zhang Shicheng, the leader of the peasant uprising in the late Yuan Dynasty. Bian recommended Zhang Shicheng as the chief of staff, but Zhang Shicheng repeatedly refused. It is said that once Zhang Shicheng personally visited him and saw him writing a book "The Legend of the Hawker in the Jianghu" in his study, which is also called "The Water Margin". Later, when Zhang Shicheng was defeated, Shi Naian moved his family to Huai 'an to avoid disaster and continued to write for entertainment. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang also issued an imperial decree asking him to be an official, but he still couldn't stand being an official and accumulated a good reputation in the local area. He died a few years after he finished writing Water Margin.
