Among the heroes of Liangshan, how many of them truly had the spirit of chivalry?
The Liangshan heroes were one of the famous peasant uprising organizations in Chinese history. Their members came from different social classes but all had chivalrous spirit. However, the number of heroes with chivalrous spirit among the Liangshan heroes is not certain because different readers or authors may have different definition of "chivalrous spirit". From a general point of view, most of the Liangshan heroes, including the leaders Song Jiang, Lin Chong, Wu Song, Li Kui, and others, had chivalrous spirit. On the one hand, they rebelled against feudal rule, on the other hand, they sympathized with the vulnerable groups such as women, children, and the elderly. They even sacrificed for these people. Their behavior also reflected the characteristics of chivalrous spirit, such as protecting the weak, being righteous, and not afraid of power. However, there were also some Liangshan heroes such as Yan Qing and Qin Ming who had chivalrous spirit, but their behavior did not completely conform to the traditional definition of chivalrous spirit. In addition, there were also some Liangshan heroes who were not generally regarded as chivalrous, but their behavior also had a certain chivalrous nature, such as Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng, etc. Therefore, the number of heroes with chivalrous spirit among the Liangshan heroes may be uncertain. Different readers or authors may have different opinions on which heroes are more chivalrous.
