Steve Lee dials into the Mojo Ministry podcast from Hong Kong to talk to us about The Water Margin, AKA Outlaws of the Marsh, AKA The Heroes of Liangshang Marsh, AKA, All Men Are Brothers, etc.
Not only is this the first Wuxia novel and one of the first works to establish the Jianghu, it's raw as hell.
We'll be talking about how crazy the world of the Water Margin is, from the Song Dynasty legal system to the codes of ethics and morality.
This was an age where the local prefect would beat your neighbors' asses if they couldn't catch you after a crime, and being a good man was mostly about martial arts excellence.
