《水浒传》为了自身的传播，写进了忠义思想及招安、投降的内容。

For popularizing the Water Margin, its writer put in the contents of loyalism and offering amnesty and enlistment to rebels.

全书淡化了忠君观念，批判了前传中宋江等接受招安的错误路线，敢于向帝王的权威提出质疑与挑战。

The book has weakened the concept of loyalty, courage to challenge the authority of the emperor, critical mass in the former Song Jiang and other amnesty to accept the wrong line.
