武松 / Wu Song

In 番外 15：半拿铁讲《金瓶梅》啦，而且还是绿色的, 武松 enters [[JinPingMei|《金瓶梅》]] through the familiar [[WaterMargin|《水浒传》]] tiger-slaying episode. After killing the Jingyang Ridge tiger, he gives the county reward to punished hunters and is appointed 清河县都头, making him a public hero with official status rather than only a strong man.

The episode then shifts him into domestic pressure. He recognizes [[WuDalang|武大郎]], meets [[PanJinlian|潘金莲]], accepts the invitation to live with his brother, and tries to protect the household’s face and safety. His rejection of Pan Jinlian’s snow-day test and his later warning before a Tokyo errand make him a counterweight to [[XimenQing|西门庆]]: public force and household discipline versus informal local power and desire.
