Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Let's begin with an easy one. In which province is Liangshan located?

Answer: Shandong

Although Liangshan is located in Shandong Province, many heroes come from other provinces, like Hebei or Sichuan.

2. Of the 108 Liangshan heroes, who was the first to appear in the novel?

Answer: Shi Jin

Wang Jin did appear before Shi Jin, however, he is not one of the 108 Liangshan heroes. But I have to say that if I were the book's author, I would have made Wang Jin one of the 108 heroes. After all, he is a very compassionate fellow and has great fighting skills.

3. The Liangshan heroes were perhaps all gallant, but a few of them were known to lust after women a lot... Which of the following Liangshan heroes was a womanizer?

Answer: Wang Ying

Wang Ying, nicknamed the Stumpy Tiger, was definitely a womanizer. Li Zhong was not a womanizer; however, his friend Zhou Tong was one.

4. Of the 108 Liangshan heroes, how many were women?

Answer: Three

Three of the Liangshan heroes were women: Hu the Third, Sun the Witch and Mistress Gu. What's interesting is that each of these three ladies are better fighters than their husbands.

5. Some Liangshan heroes are known to be rather foul-tempered. Which hero, was known, on the contrary, to be very even-tempered?

Answer: Lin Chong

I still cannot believe how Lin Chong soft-tempered is. Li Kui is obviously the most foul-tempered of all the characters in the book. Lu Zhishen, in spite of his foul temper (or maybe because of it, who knows?) is probably one of the most liked characters in the novel.

6. Unfortunately, many wives in "Water Margin" are unfaithful. Which of the following wives stayed faithful to her husband?

Answer: Lin Chong's wife

Lin Chong's wife stayed faithful to her husband, unlike the two others. Unfortunately, she was raped by Gao Qiu's nephew and later committed suicide in order to avoid dishonor. Wu the Elder's wife was killed by Wu Song while Yang Xiong's wife was killed by Shi Xiu.

7. The 108 heroes are divided into heavenly spirits and earthly fiends. How many earthly fiends are there?

Answer: 72

There are 36 Heavenly Spirits, 72 are Earthly Fiends.

8. What was the name of the man who was leader of Liangshan for a period of time before being killed by a poisoned arrow sent by Shi Wengong?

Answer: Chao Gai

Chao Gai was killed by Shi Wengong. However, his death was avenged as Lu Junyi captured Shi alive. After, Shi was executed. Wang Lun, Song Wan and Du Qian were the original leader of Liangshan. Wang Lun, a very selfish, intolerant man, was killed by Lin Chong.

9. Of the 108 heroes, who is ranked third?

Answer: Wu Yong

Wu Yong was a master strategist. Wu Yong's guile always came in handy in battle! Gongsun Sheng was ranked fourth, Guan Sheng fifth, while Lin Chong was ranked sixth.

10. Which is the most frequent last name among the 108 Liangshan heroes?

Answer: Li

Li is the most frequent last name among the 108 Liangshan heroes. Seven Liangshan heroes have Li as their last name: Li Ying, Li Kui, Li Jun, Li Gun, Li Zhong, Li Li and Li Yun. Four heroes have the last name Zhu, 4 others have last name Yang and only 2 have last name Wang.
