Project Gutenberg 2008-05-06 Public domain in the USA. 2717 Yu, Wanchun 1794 1849 俞萬春 蕩寇志 Dang Kou Zhi Produced by Yu-Sheng Xie "Dang Zhi" by Wanchun Yu is a historical novel written during the late 19th century. This work is positioned as a continuation or response to the famous classic "Water Margin" (Shui Hu Zhuan), focusing on the themes of loyalty and treachery, particularly highlighting the character of Song Jiang, who is portrayed as duplicitous. The narrative appears to juxtapose portrayals of loyalty and honor against the backdrop of outlaws and authority, seeking to clarify the distinction between true righteousness and the criminality often dressed as virtue. At the start of the tale, the character Liu Junyi is introduced, revealing his troubled thoughts spurred by a prophetic dream that foreshadows peril. Upon awakening, he perceives a haunting lamentation outside, which he initially mistakes for supernatural foreboding but soon discovers to be mere autumn insects. The waking brings him to ponder the brutality of his lifestyle as an outlaw, steeped in turmoil and uncertainty regarding potential retribution or reform. The sequence unfolds with a fire at their base—a troubling omen that leads to a swift inquiry and highlights the tension among the leaders, hinting at the broader conflicts to unfold. Through this opening, the foundation is laid for a narrative steeped in intrigue, conflict, and morality, as various factions vie for survival against both human and supernatural threats.
