Song Jiang's name appears in the "History of Song Dynasty" and in the "Chronicle of Huizong". Although Song Jiang of Liangshan is not as influential as Fang La of Jiangnan, his influence is much greater than that of the unknown Tian Hu and Wang Qing.

"History of Song Dynasty" also records that there have always been many robbers in Liangshanpo, and the government's way of dealing with robbers was also very harsh. Generally, they would cut the tendons of the robbers first and then interrogate them. The result of the interrogation was mostly beheading. Even if they were not killed, they would starve to death if they were thrown back to Liangshanpo - robbers would not be kept for free.

There are many heroes of Liangshan in historical records. For example, Shi Bin, who proclaimed himself emperor in Sichuan, is Shi Jin, the Nine-Striped Dragon. Yang Zhi, the giant bandit who deserted from the battlefield during the anti-Jin war and caused the death of the minor general Zhong Shizhong, is the Green-faced Beast on Liangshan. Black Whirlwind Li Kui became a "Le Jiang Jieji" after being recruited, and when the Jin soldiers invaded the south, he killed the Jinzhou garrison commander and betrayed his country to the enemy.

The names or historical prototypes of Song Jiang, Shi Jin and Li Kui can be found in "History of the Song Dynasty". Even Wang Lun, the first leader of Liangshan, appeared in the historical materials of the Song Dynasty: this man was a soldier of the Tiger Wing Army. He took advantage of the earthquake in Yizhou to rebel, and was finally captured alive by Fan Zhongyan. According to the practice at that time, his tendons were cut first, and then his head was displayed to the public.
