论宋江与晁盖的兄弟之情——江湖结义的典范

梁山泊的事业蒸蒸日上之时，晁盖却中毒箭而死，学界由此产生了一种看法，认为宋江排挤晁盖，致使晁盖早死。但是在宋元水浒故事、杂剧和明代刊行的《水浒传》中，二人都是江湖结拜兄弟，是江湖兄弟结义的典范，并无任何隔阂。清初金圣叹在“金本”《水浒传》做了一些改动，使“宋江排挤晁盖”有一些依据，而这只是金圣叹纂改的结果，并非施耐庵的本意。

On the Brotherhood of Song Jiang and Chao Gai-A Model of Sworn-Brotherhood

Chao Gai dies from a poisoned arrow when Liang Shanpo is at its prime time.It is widely believed that it is because of Song Jiang who elbows out Chao.But in all the stories about the Water Margin-Shuipo Liangshan of the Song,Yuan and Ming dynasties,the two figures are described as blood brothers.The rumor about Chao’s death partly comes from the novel Water Margin by Jin Shengtan,a novelist of the early Qing dynasty,who made some changes in the plot,which serves as basis for the conjectured conflicts between Chao and Song.But this arrangement is not the original idea of Shi Nai’an,the initial writer for the novel Water Margin.
