In Water Margin, Lu Zhishen always rescued women, that's why he was called the Flower Monk?

Lu Zhishen in the Weizhou military horse governor's office, rescue Jin Cuilian father and daughter, three punches killed Zhen Guanxi, lost his job forced to wander the countryside. In the Peach Blossom Village, he beat Zhou Tong, a small bully, and rescued Liu Taigong's daughter from him.

At the Daxiangguo Temple in Tokyo, he heard that Lin Chong's wife had been bullied by Gao Yannei, and was about to fight him with a Zen warrior, but Lin Chong stopped him before he could give up.

All of this is a good deed of bravery and courage to help each other, how can it be associated with the flower monk.

As for the nickname "Flower Monk", it was because Lu Zhishen had tattoos all over his body, which was a very fashionable thing at that time. There were so many Liangshan heroes who had this hobby. For example, Yan Qing, the prodigal son, and Shi Jin, the nine-tattooed dragon, were all famous for their tattoos.

Particularly Yan Qing, because of a flower embroidery, even by the capital of Li Shishi's favor, which shows that tattoos at that time is a piece of how fashionable and touted things.

So it is only natural that Lu Zhishen also had his body covered in flower embroidery, for which he was nicknamed the Flower Monk. That is to say, this flower of his is the flower of flower embroidery, not the flower of flower heart.

Looking at Lu Zhishen's life, although he was rude in nature, he never did anything unkind or unrighteous. When he went to Liangshan from Erlong Mountain, the first words he said when he met with Lin Chong were: How is sister-in-law? This means that he still remembers the time when he was in the Daxiang Temple in Tokyo, and Lin was bullied by Gao Yannei.

It is a pity that Lin Niangzi has been persecuted to death by Gao Nai, and his father died soon afterward, so Lin Chong has become a loner. If Lin Chong had listened to Lu Zhishen's advice and fought back early, why would he have ended up with a broken family?

We read classical literature, we must grasp the essence of its attempts to comprehend its meaning, otherwise it is very easy to be superficial text to the bias, if that, is not the essence of the masterpieces trampled on, misunderstanding of the depth of!

This flower is not which flower. Lu Zhishen, a martial artist, the road, pull out the sword to help. It is a heroic man who is courageous in promoting goodness and punishing evil. After killing the villain, a friend introduced him to the City God Temple to escape the storm.

After entering the temple, he had to follow Piggy's Eight Precepts: no meat, no alcohol, no gambling, no killing, no prostitution, no stealing, no staying up late, and no philandering.

In the first few days, Lu Zhishen was still able to play meditation and recite incantations honestly, but as time went by, he couldn't hold his breath. The old alcohol addiction is getting worse. Under the pretext of going down the mountain to play knife sharpening equipment, the result sat in the Yuyuan Garden old restaurant, the lion's share of the money, to ask for a side pot of braised pork, an altar of old white dried meat, half of a goat to eat up, eat until the next day at noon to stumble back to the City God Temple.

Since then, he has been playing Zen for three days and eating meat for two days. The temple monks were afraid to avoid it.

The master care does not give Lu Zhishen pocket money, but Lu Zhishen all good strength, with people betting upside down pulling willow trees, won money enough to eat old wine.

Later, the City God Temple has engaged in the three production, the performance program is "flower monk uprooting willow tree". The name of the monk of flowers is not gone.
