Lu is one of the classic figures in China traditional literature. His deeds, such as punching in the town of Kansai, making a scene in Wutai Mountain, making a scene in Taohua Village, pulling out weeping willows and making a scene in the wild boar forest, have been widely circulated among the people through storytelling and drama.

Exquisite nickname

"Monk" is an inaccurate transliteration of Sanskrit Upadhyaya in ancient western languages. In India, it is a general term for doctors and teachers, while in China, it is often used to address Buddhist monks. Buddhism believes that life, death, illness and death are all painful. In order to get rid of the pain, we must be pure and have no desire or desire. Therefore, the philosophy of life advocates reconciling everything.

Harmony means patience and obedience, which is advocated by monks. Taking "harmony" as "Shang", monks are called "monks".

"Flower Monk" was the nickname of Lu after he became a monk, but his nickname before he became a monk was not explicitly mentioned in Water Margin. In the Yuan drama "Water Margin Li Kui jy Negative Scenery", Li Kui jy wrote a lyric: "Who doesn't know that you are Lu Shen Zhi in Guanxi Town, and you will become an outlaw when you leave Wutai Mountain?"

In the novel "Water Margin", before killing Zheng Tu, Lu Da pointed at him and scolded him: "It is worthwhile for Zanjia to start investing in his old line and call it' the town of Kansai'." According to this, some researchers believe that Lu's nickname before becoming a monk was "Zhenkansai" and later changed his name to "Flower Monk".

Lofa Wenshu Institute

Luda all the way to the east and arrived in Yanmen County of Daizhou half a month later. At that time, Weizhou Prefecture had issued a document to arrest Lu Da, offering a reward of 1000 yuan, drawing pictures and pictures, and asking the state governments to arrest Lu Da. There is also a poster in Yanmen County.

When Lu Da went to see the list, he happened to meet Jin Lao, who had settled in the local area, and was taken away by Jin Lao. He didn't know it was the outer room of a local rich man, Mr. Zhao, so he followed Mr. Jin to his home and met his husband, Mr. Zhao. Mr. Zhao invited Luda to be warmly received in his own village.

After living in Zhao Yuanwai Village for seven or eight days, Lu Da learned that the government was holding fast and planned to leave. Earlier, Zhao Shuli bought a five-character book in Wutaishan College nearby, and took this opportunity to suggest that Lu become a monk in order to avoid being arrested by the government.

Lu Da thought he had nowhere to go, so he promised to become a monk and go to Wutai Mountain with Mr. Zhao. Mr. Zhao donated money to rebuild Wen Shu Hospital, and asked the abbot, Elder Zhizhen, to shave his cousin, Lu Da. He kept the murder of Luda secret, saying only that he was "willing to abandon the customs and become a monk because of human suffering."

Because Lu Da, the first monk of Wenshu Academy, "describes ugliness and looks fierce and stubborn", he thinks that he doesn't look like a monk, and he is worried that the mountain gate will be implicated in the future. He has advised Elder Zhizhen not to take Lu Da in.

Elder Zhizhen thinks that Lu Da is upright and honest and frank, saying, "Although he is fierce and stubborn at present and his hit is complicated, he will be clean after a long time, and the positive result will be extraordinary." He insisted on shaving Luda and gave him a dharma name "Shen Zhi". From then on, Lu Da became a monk in Wenshuyuan and changed his name to Lu Shen Zhi.
