Zhongfu hotel

After Song Wu killed the tiger in Jingyanggang, the magistrate of a county in yanggu county gave Song Wu a thousand dollars from the rich man, and Song Wu gave it to Orion. Judging from the description in Water Margin, 1,000 yuan was a lot of money for ordinary people at that time. As for why Song Wu didn't keep the money for himself, there are probably the following reasons:

First of all, Song Wu was not short of money at that time. When Song Wu returned home from Chai Jin, Chai Jin gave Song Wu some gold and silver. Song Jiang likes Song Wu very much since he met him. Therefore, when he left Song Wu, he gave a banquet to see Song Wu off in a hotel in Qibali, Zhuangzi, Chai Jin. When Song Wu left, Song Jiang sent some money to Song Wu. The original description is as follows:

Song Wu bowed four times, and Song Jiang told Song Qing to take out a ingot of twelve taels of silver and give it to Song Wu. Song Wuxin accepted it and said, "Brother, the guests used their own plates." Song Jiangdao: "Dear brother, don't worry too much. If you refuse, I won't recognize you as my brother. " Song Wu had to bend down and put it in a wrapped bag. —— (Excerpted from Twenty-three Chapters of the Water Margin)

Chai Jin sent gold and silver in front, and Song Jiang sent silver behind, which shows that Song Wu was not short of money at that time; There is no shortage of money here, not because Song Wufu has it, but because Song Wu brought enough gold and silver to spend all the way home.

Second, although Wu Dalang sells baked wheat cakes, the life is passable. Water margin 24 times, Song Wu made his head in yanggu county. Song Wu's brother Wu Dalang also guessed that the strong man who killed the tiger was probably his brother Song Wu, so he went to the county to do business and met Song Wu who was wandering in front of the county. After meeting with Song Wu, Wu Dalang said the following:

Wu Avenue: "Second brother, why didn't you send me a book when you went to many places? I blame you and miss you. " Song Wu said, "Why do you blame me and miss me?" Wu Avenue: "When I complained about you, when you were in Qinghe County, you drank whenever you wanted, fought with others, and often went to court. You told me to be at my officer's disposal, but I didn't do it for a month, and you often taught me to suffer. This is your complaint. ..... "(from the 24th chapter of Water Margin)

According to Wu Dalang, when Song Wu was at home, he didn't do anything serious, and the family lived on the money made by Wu Da selling kitchen cakes. As can be seen from the following article, Wu Dalang is honest and diligent. Although doing a small business selling baked wheat cakes, life at home is still very passable.

Wu Dalang didn't like his younger brother Song Wu's habit of fighting after drinking, but he didn't expect Song Wu to earn money to support his family. Therefore, for Song Wu, although he has suffered a lot in a foreign land for more than a year, he can't go hungry as long as he goes back to his hometown and has his brother Wu Da. Therefore, Song Wu is a person who doesn't care much about money, and he doesn't care much about a gift of 1000 yuan.

Third, Song Wu is a man who sympathizes with the poor and the weak. In the above article, we analyzed that Song Wu didn't accept 1000 gifts because he had enough travel expenses and his eldest brother Wu Da's life was passable. In fact, there is another reason why Song Wu doesn't accept tips, that is, Song Wu is a person who sympathizes with the poor and the weak.

At that time, in order to catch this tiger in Jingyanggang, Orion was punished by the magistrate. Not only that, seven or eight hunters died trying to catch the tiger.

For Song Wu, he did spend a lot of effort to kill the tiger, but compared with the damage suffered by Orion, his own efforts were nothing to mention. Therefore, in Song Wu's mind, this $1,000 should be distributed to all Orion.

In the thirty-second chapter of Water Margin, Song Wu crossed centipede ridge, killed centipede Taoist priest and saved the robbed woman. When the rescued woman sent one or two pieces of gold and silver accumulated by the centipede Taoist to Song Wu, Song Wu did not accept it, but gave it to the woman as the capital to save her life, which once again showed that Song Wu was really poor and weak.
