- Poster 2, left panel, second part of the story: In the third lunar month of spring, Wu Song returned from the Eastern capital, reported to his superiors, and went to visit his brother. How was he to know that when he entered and drew back the curtain, Wu Dalang’s memorial tablet was set up inside the house. With the instigation of [the matchmaker] Old Woman Wang, [Wu Dalang’s wife] Pan Jinlian had formed an adulterous liaison, poisoned Wu Dalang, and to hide their crime they had cremated his body to destroy the evidence and create a false impression. When Wu Song learned the facts he made a complaint but without success. In an uncontrollable age to avenge his brother, he cut off Pan Jinlian’s head, then, grasping his knife, he ran to Lion Hall and had a savage fight with Ximen Qing, cutting off his head, thus removing a horror from the people of Yanggu. Truly it is said: Two heads were presented to the memorial, Wu Song took revenge on his brother’s behalf, From ancient times feeling of outrage must be wiped clean, There good and evil will always be repaid.

- Poster 1, left panel, first part of the story: [characters on rock: Jingyang Ridge][left image caption] Wu Song bade Song Jiang farewell and went home to visit his elder brother. His path took him to Jingyang township, and he drank 18 bowls of wine at an inn, and hurried drunkenly to Jingyang Ridge. Exhouseted in mid-journey, Wu Song leaned against a rock and closed his eyes to recover. With a sound like a thunderclap, the king of beasts flew out of the mountains. The tiger had a body the size of a rhinoceros, its head like a wicker basket, as it leaped at him, huge mouth open. Wu Song sobered up from fright, turned a somersault and dodged the tiger; he wielded his club and split the tiger’s cheeks, then brandished his fist and broke the tiger’s nose. With a flying leap, he straddled the tiger’s back and rained blows down on its head. After 35 blows, the tiger that had been terrifying all its life now had no breath in its body. Truly it is said: Paying no mind but embarking blithely on a long journey, He steeled himself and went up Jingyang Ridge, Drunk he came and beat a mountain tiger to death, Winning a great reputation everywhere.
