The background of Shi Naian's creation of Water Margins.

When Shi Naian wrote Water Margins, China's social background had undergone a relatively complicated change. In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, political corruption, social unrest, and the people were in dire straits. In addition, commerce and trade were also greatly restricted, resulting in a low level of social and economic development. In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the society was in turmoil. Many peasants rebelled against the ruling class. They organized the rebel army to resist the Ming government. These rebels often used violent methods such as murder, robbery, rape, and so on, causing panic and dissatisfaction in society. Therefore, the government took a series of measures to suppress the rebels, such as strengthening the management and training of the army, strengthening the supervision of commerce and trade, etc. These measures further aggravated social unrest and unrest. In such a social context, Shi Naian wrote Water Margins, which described the story of a group of rebel leaders. It aimed to promote the values of justice, courage, loyalty, and so on, to boost the morale of the readers, so that they could maintain hope and courage in the face of the dark side of society.

Shi Naian wrote Water Margins in the late Ming Dynasty, from 1368 to 1420. During this period, China was in a state of political turmoil and social unrest. Many farmers and soldiers were dissatisfied with the political corruption and oppression of the ruling class, so they organized a rebel army called "Water Margins". In Water Margins, the social problems that these heroes faced included corruption, government suppression, and social injustice. Through resistance and fighting, they hoped to change this unjust state and also hoped to make some contributions to society and the people through their own strength. Therefore, the heroes in Water Margins not only showed their individual courage and loyalty, but also their deep thinking about social responsibility and human destiny.

The authors of Water Margins were Shi Naian and Luo Guanzhong.

Whether the author of Water Margins was Shi Naian or Luo Guanzhong was still controversial. Shi Naian was one of the authors of the Water Margins.

Luo Guanzhong had a more in-depth shaping of the characters in the novel and added elements of political struggle to make the content of Water Margins more colorful. Although Shi Naian and Luo Guanzhong were both authors of Water Margins, their writing styles and contributions were different. Therefore, whether the author of Water Margins was Shi Naian or Luo Guanzhong needed to make a judgment based on the specific reading experience and personal preferences.

The Water Margins was a classic novel by Shi Naian. It told the story of 108 righteous men who gathered at Liangshan Lake to resist the imperial court. During the Ming Dynasty, many people regarded the Water Margins as a counter-book mainly because the novel described the peasant class's resistance to the ruling class, as well as the description of official corruption and persecuting the people. In addition, there were some sensitive political topics in the novel, such as the collusion between Song Jiang, the leader of Liangshan Lake, and the officials of the imperial court. The ending of some characters in the novel was also considered unfair. During the Ming Dynasty, the attitude towards literary works was also different.
