Interpretation of the Deep Implications of Wang Jin in The Water Margin
As the first hero to appear in The Water Margin,Wang Jin was both loyal and filial,almost a per-fect person.He also embodied the author's personality and life ideals.On the surface,the author attempted to warn future emperors to have a sense of responsibility and ambition,to select capable individuals,and to stay away from treacherous people in order to create a peaceful and prosperous era.From a deeper understanding,the au-thor's opening of writing about Wang Jin was to create a benchmark and compared his life choices to 108 heroes',emphasizing a good choice to be self-sufficient and living in seclusion in the countryside as a hermit in turbulent times.The reason why the author did not write about Wang Jin's ascent to Mount Liangshan might be due to deep reasons in character portrayal.
