Kong Ming (孔明), not to be confused with Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms, is a character in the novel Water Margin.
Kong Ming was from Qingzhou, and his father was a squire. He was nicknamed “Curly-Haired Star” (毛头星) and had a younger brother named Kong Liang, nicknamed “Lonely Fiery Star.” Once, their father sent them to Chai Jin’s home to fetch Song Jiang to their manor. Both the Kong brothers were fond of martial arts and so they were willing to be students under Song Jiang and let Song instruct them.
