Wusong fights the tiger in Jingyanggang, Pan Jinlian disdains her husband and flirts with others, Ximen Qing meets Pan Jinlian under the curtain, and Wang Po becomes a matchmaker for money...these exciting stories in "Water Margin" showcase the various social patterns of Yanggu County in the past, including local customs, drinking and dining, and banquet customs, leaving an endless aftertaste.
