If you ask Liangshan a good man, if you check dozens of them, you can think of Wu Song, Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen, Li Kui, etc., how can you not find Song Qing's head. Maybe no one reminds you, you just forget about him. But he did exist, and he was firmly ranked seventy-sixth among the good men of Liangshan.
In "Water Margin", Song Liquidation is a foil character. Writing Song Jiang and then writing him, it seems that the Song family is like a family. There are brothers and brothers, and they also contrast with each other like Zhang Hengzhangshun, Kong Ming Kongliang, and Xie Zhen Xiebao, and there is a sun and a moon, and there is a left arm and a right arm. However, compared with the third brother Song Jiang's storm, the fourth brother Song Qing seems to be too weightless, if Song Jiang is compared to the moon, Song Qing is only a small star with the moon.
Song Qing has an easy-going temperament, and it should be said that he is a good son and brother who is honest and obedient. He is a bit passive, but he is also honest. Let the old man at home ambush the old father, let the third brother go to the chai official's house to take refuge, accompany the third brother to Cangzhou, let him coax Song Jiang to go home, he will coax Song Jiang to go home, let him go to Liangshan with his father, he will go to Liangshan. He went to Liangshan because of his family, not because he had a sense of rebellion. Because of his easy-going, he never used the power of his eldest brother to cause trouble in Liangshan, and he never did li kui's behavior of causing trouble at every turn. Based on this, we can fully imagine that when he performed his duty of "arranging feasts", he must have acted in accordance with the rules and acted cautiously. What to do, not much to do, this is also commendable.
Some people say that Song Qing came up by relying on the relationship of his eldest brother Song Jiang. This is not easy to refute, Song Qing, an ordinary peasant, did not show how strong the martial arts, did not show how high the literary talent, did not have the special skills of Dai Zong and Shi Qian, and did not make military achievements, but he was listed among one hundred and eight leaders, and it was easy to make people feel that they were relying on relationships. However, "Water Margin" included him in the scope of the leader, and did not write about how he interceded with his brother, nor did it mention how Song Jiang thought about taking care of his brother, moreover, the level of Song Qing's residence and the errands he managed were really not how important or superior. Therefore, there is no evidence to say that Song Qing relied on relationships. Some people also said that Song Jiang was nepotistic because of Song Qing. Song Jiang renren is not nepotistic, he is arranged according to the ability and merit, Song Qing is not in the ranks of Tiangang, in the earth fire, he is only ranked forty. Song Jiang did not let Song Qing continue to climb up, let alone get him to the second and third places. Of course, there was no need for Song Jiang to eliminate his brother Song Qing in order to flaunt his meritocracy.
Some people say that Song Qing's position is very important, he is in charge of the money and grain feast in Liangshan, responsible for the eating and drinking of tens of thousands of people in Liangshan, occupying the most important fat shortage in Liangshan, and even borrowing grain from Zhujiazhuang is his idea. It was a random thought, and there was no close look at the Water Margin at all. Song Qing was in charge of arranging the feast, but that was all. The so-called arrangement is only after the leader decides to arrange the feast and explains how to arrange it, and then he will make a specific arrangement and call on someone to pull the table and serve the plate. It was just an errand to run feet, it didn't mean that he decided to eat and drink, he was at most an administrative section chief or deputy section chief who contacted the hospitality. Liangshan's ministry arrangement was divided into several levels, with Song Qing, Jiang Jing, and others belonging to the lower levels. It was Chai Jin and Li Ying who were in charge of money and grain, and there was no song qing matter. Although Jiang Jing was only a cashier in charge of money and grain, after all, he still belonged to the personnel of this functional department, and Song Qing was not. There are two views on this. One is to demean Song Qing, which means to rely on the prestige of the family to take the position. The other, on the contrary, says that Song Qing played an important role in the cause of Liangshan.
Song Qing had a role in Liangshan. His errand of "arranging a feast" was not a matter of people. Without Song Qing, Liangshan would have set up this errand. The team is bigger, and what kind of position is indispensable. From this, we can understand why one hundred and eight generals are not all military generals. As a team, you need to have generals and you need to have organ personnel. Therefore, there are those who write orders, those who manage money, those who build houses, those who make clothes, and so on. It is equivalent to having several divisions under the army, and the military department also has a political department, a headquarters, and a logistics department. As for letting Song Qingguan set up a feast, perhaps it is safe to settle here without a place, or perhaps it is accurate to See Song Qing's honesty and loyalty, and Ann can also be regarded as a good person here.
Some people also see the strengths of Song Qing's personality and think that a prominent figure like Song Jiang has done a strong job and died a tragic death, while an easy-going person like Song Qing has never been much risk. Zheng Fangla, so many people died, but Song Qing was safe and sound. Song Qing, although he was knighted, only worked as a farmer in the township and worshipped the ancestors with incense. After Song Jiang's death, the imperial court asked Song Qing to inherit the title of Song Jiang, and Song Qing expressed his gratitude and only wished yuncheng to be a farmer. Later, Song Qing gave birth to a son, Song Anping, who should pass the imperial examination and become a secretary. This is the end of the two brothers, who make philosophical reflections on the fate of man. Therefore, he also praised Song Qing.
From the perspective of the novel's conception, since you want to respond to the number of one hundred and eight stars, in addition to the dazzling heroes, you must also dig your heart to find some people, in order to gather one hundred and eight generals, pull a brother of Song Jiang, take advantage of it, it is also natural. In this sense, it can also be said that Song Qing is the foil for the heroic figures of Liangshan.
Song Qing's nickname is "Iron Fan", a name that makes people feel very brave at first glance. However, looking at Song Qing's behavior, there seems to be no place for bravery. Some people also say that folding fans and banana fans have their own uses, and "iron fans" fans do not move the wind, that is useless. Saying that Song Qing is useless seems to be too much. The author gave a general affirmation to the water margin one hundred and eight generals, and did not seem to want to say that Song Qing was useless, otherwise, why give them the title of "Earth Junxing", "Jun" people, where are too mediocre people. As for what "iron fan" means, only those who need to learn to cultivate it are clear.
Song Qing, compared to other characters, appears to be relatively flat and not plump enough. Of course, "Water Margin" has written so many characters that it is difficult to ensure that everyone is plump. Just like a law poem, it is good to have one or two strange sentences, and it is even more rare to have six or seven strange sentences, and it is difficult to think of every sentence. Novels shape characters, it is impossible for everyone to be the protagonist, there will always be a master and a second. If the force is averaged, it will weaken the position of the protagonist.
Song Qing is a foil, but the foil has the role of a foil, and the safflower also needs green leaves to support ah. Being willing to be a good foil is also a virtue.
Song Jiang is written in the Water Margin, and only two brothers appear. However, Song Jiang is "Black Sanlang", which makes people speculate. In the novel "Hubaoyi Song Jiang" written by Mr. Li Dengchao, the names of the four Song Jiang brothers are listed: the eldest brother Song Hai, the second brother Song He, the third brother Song Jiang, and the fourth brother Song Qing. There were only two people in the Water Margin, and perhaps their eldest brother and second brother died at an early age.
