Tian Hu

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tian Hu(田虎) is one of the chief rebels who appear in the Chinese novel The Water Margin (also known as Outlaws of the Marsh).

Tian's domain lay in the Hebei region. He, along with Song Jiang, Wang Qing, and Fang La, appears as one of the four chief rebel leaders troubling the empire whose names are written behind a screen in the imperial palace. In the short (100 chapter) version of the story, this is the extent of his appearance. In the extended version (120 chapter), however, the Liangshan Marsh bandits, now acting as government forces, fight both Tian Hu and Wang Qing before embarking on the final expedition against Fang La.
