“欲得官,杀人放火受招安;欲得富,赶著行在(即皇帝住所)卖酒醋”。这首民谣生动阐释了如何在政治和商业中发迹,那就是假借皇权的庇护,利用流氓手段为非作歹。这正是明朝中后期世人内心的真实写照和当时流氓泛滥的间接描述。明代中后期的流氓曾极度猖獗,数量以万计,活跃在社会生活的各个领域,甚至跃上政治舞台,与皇权狼狈为奸。 “To get officials, murder arson by Zhao An; want to get rich, catch the line in (that is, the emperor’s residence) to sell wine vinegar ”. This folk ballad vividly illustrates how to make a fortune in politics and business. That is to say, it is the protection of imperial power and the use of hooliganism as a crime. This is exactly the true portrayal of the hearts of the people in the mid and late Ming dynasties and the indirect description of the proliferation of rogue at the time. In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the gangsters were extremely rampant. Counting tens of thousands, they were active in all fields of social life and even stepped onto the political arena, working in unison with imperial power.
