Which historical masterpieces have stories about tigers?
One is "Song Wu hits the tiger" in "Water Margin".
Song Wu (nickname: Walker Song Wu) went home to visit his brother and passed by Jingyanggang on the way. I drank a lot in Gangxia Hotel and staggered to Shang Gang. There was not much excitement, but the bark of a tree was scraped, which read: "Recently, someone was injured by a big bug in Jingyanggang, but there were businessmen in Ganggang. You should team up to cross the gang. Please don't make mistakes. "
Song Wu thought it was a scary letter from a restaurant. In order to let passers-by live in his shop, he ignored it and moved on. When the sun was about to set, Song Wu came to a ruined temple and saw a government notice posted at the door with an official seal on it. Song Wu didn't know there was a tiger on the mountain until he read it. He wanted to go back to the hotel, but he was afraid of the shopkeeper's jokes, so he kept walking.
Because of the attack of alcoholism, he found a smooth big bluestone and lay down on his back. He was just about to fall asleep when he heard a gust of wind whistling by. A big tiger with a white forehead came at Song Wu, who quickly dodged and hid behind the tiger. When the tiger jumped, Song Wu hid again.
When the tiger is in a hurry, it shouts at Song Wu with its tail. Song Wu quickly jumped away again. When the tiger turned around, he raised his whistle stick and slammed it on the tiger's head with all his strength.
With a click, the whistle stick hit the branch. The tiger is a wild animal, and it came at Song Wu. Song Wu threw away half a stick and rode on the tiger's back. He grabbed the skin on the tiger's head with his left hand and slammed it with his right hand. It didn't take long to beat the tiger's eyes, mouth, nose and ears with blood everywhere, and he couldn't move on the ground.
Song Wu was worried that the tiger would play dead, so he raised half his whistle stick and played for a while. He stopped when he saw that the tiger was really out of breath. From then on, Song Wu became famous and was called "the hero who killed the tiger".
Second, there is a story in Journey to the West that a demon turned Tang Priest into a tiger.
Pig Bajie and Friar Sand hid their strength and were defeated by Huang Paoguai after ten rounds.
Friar Sand was caught and Pig fled.
Later, Huang Paoguai incarnated as a beautiful boy and came to Baoxiangguo to meet the king, saying that Tang Priest was the tiger soul who stole Princess Baihua Shame.
In order to prove that what he said was true, he cast a spell in public and turned Tang Priest into a tiger. In fact, this spell is just a very common distraction in the celestial world. However, the ministers and ministers of Bao Xiang are all carnal and cannot see through.
The Tang Priest is locked in an iron cage and will be beheaded in public in a few days.
Extended data:
Shi Naian's "Water Margin", Song Wu's first show is Jingyanggang killing tigers. Song Wu went home to visit his brother, passed by Jingyanggang and drank 18 bowls in the restaurant. After being drunk, he wanted to continue on his way. The restaurant told him that there was a tiger hurting people on the mountain and advised him not to do it.
Song Wu didn't believe it, but he saw a big white frontworm hanging on his eyes on the mountain. Song Wu fought back all his life and killed the tiger with his fist. Jingyang Gangda Tiger is an eternal swan song, but before me, where were those lost times? Behind me, where is the next generation? . Then I didn't deserve it. However, behind the killing of tigers by Song Wu lies a strange disaster in ancient China-the tiger disaster.
Chinese tiger culture has a long history and has already become one of the totems of China. Because of its majestic image, tigers have been used to symbolize the courage and strength of soldiers since ancient times, such as tiger generals, tiger ministers and tigers.
In ancient times, a tiger was carved in gold on the military symbol of dispatching troops, which was called the tiger symbol. In all fields of traditional culture, it has become an indispensable part of Chinese civilization. However, China people have complicated feelings for tigers, and they love and hate them, and they are full of ill feelings towards tigers. The frequent occurrence of tiger disasters was a nightmare for people at that time. It has been a history book since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
China people have a long history of fighting tigers, which appeared in the records of Oracle Bone Inscriptions and animal bones about three or four thousand years ago. In ancient society, the distance between man and tiger was very close, and in order to survive, conflicts inevitably occurred between man and tiger.
For example, the story of "King Wu takes office, birds and tigers are twenty-two" is about hunting in Zhou Wuwang. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius passed by the foot of Mount Tai and was deeply touched by the tiger's wounding. He said an eternal famous saying: tyranny is fiercer than tigers.
