Tian Hu

Tian Hu is one of the chief rebels who appear in the Chinese novel ''The Water Margin'' .

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 whose names are written behind a screen in the imperial palace. In the short version of the story, this is the extent of his appearance. In the extended version , 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.
