Abstract

Outlaws of the Marsh not only presents a world of Jiang-hu (literally rivers and lakes, term which refers to the environment where the martial artists live) for the public, but also presents a cultural complex, including rangers, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. Among them, the "righteousness" of ranger culture and the "loyalty" of Confucian culture are the main body of Outlaws of the Marsh. The combination of overt and covert constructs a Jiang-hu of "Outlaws of the Marsh" for readers.
