C1121, Song Jiang and his companions surrendered (水滸傳)

Water Margin (水滸傳) is vaguely based on the historical outlaw Song Jiang (宋江) and his 36 companions. The group was active in the Huai River (淮河) region and surrendered to the government in 1121. They were recorded in the The History of the Song Dynasty (宋史, Sòng Shǐ). The name of "Song Jiang" appeared in the chapter of Emperor Huizong (徽宗) of Song while the activities of the outlaw group were mentioned in the chapter for Zhang Shuye.
