As the first long-form novel written in classical vernacular, "Water Margin" played a crucial role in the development of Celestial Dynasty literature.
Taking the most widely circulated 120 chapters as an example:
The first seventy chapters of the story seamlessly introduce each hero with a smooth narrative, where each hero's appearance is naturally integrated without a deliberate introduction of time or place, while telling the story without leaving any trace of seams.
Until the seventieth chapter of the novel:
The Stone Tablet in the Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness receives celestial omens, and the heroes of Mount Liang rank their seats.
All the previous clues converge into one line, merging into the sea, propelling the grand storyline forward.
And at this moment, on Blue Star.
As readers, like an endless stream, successively purchase "Water Margin" and begin reading, the first thought that occurs to many is:
This book is very much like "Journey to the West"!
