Above the yellow sand and reckless return to xinjiang desert, the dust and sand flew up two feet high, and two horses galloped forward one after the other. In front of him was a white horse with tall legs and a long body, riding a young woman on horseback, with a seven- or eight-year-old girl in her arms. In the back was a red jujube horse, and on its back lay a tall and thin man.
The ancient road west wind thin horse, the sunset in the west, the broken intestines in the end of the world. Ma Zhiyuan's "Tianjing Sha QiuSi" depicts a picture of vicissitudes and sadness, the end of the world is wandering, and the wanderer is homesick.
The story of "White Horse Whistling West Wind" takes place in Huijiang. This is a novella martial arts novel created by Jin Yong, and among Jin Yong's 15 martial arts, it is inconspicuous and even easy to ignore. Most people are familiar with Jin Yong's works, starting with the adaptation of Jin Yong's novels, but "White Horse Whistling West Wind" is too unpopular, many people have not seen the film and television theme, the only adaptation is too long, so it is very strange.
Far away from the rich land of Jiangnan, there is no willow Yiyi, no lights and wine, no paddle sound and shadow, no hustle and bustle of the city. Here the west wind is cold, making people shudder, rolling yellow sand, endless, barren desert, sparsely populated, this picture belongs to the exotic style.
What love story does Jin Yong's novel "White Horse Whistling West Wind" tell? This article will be analyzed.
Traditional martial arts, sword and light sword shadow, sky and sky, jianghu competition, indispensable fighting and fighting, this seems to be the usual pattern of martial arts. The audience likes such a plot, which is undoubtedly a cool text. However, "The White Horse Roaring West Wind" does not have such a description.
There is no hero who swallows mountains and rivers here, there is no big guy who crosses the rivers and lakes, and the chivalrous atmosphere is diluted, and many people may be disappointed.
Although there are martial arts embodiments, the jianghu where Jin Yong's "White Horse Whistling West Wind" is located has been seriously weakened and belongs to a different kind of jianghu in the western region.
Western style
Back to the beginning, the desert yellow sand is reckless, the white horse Li San and his wife Shangguan Hong, daughter Li Wenxiu rode all the way on horseback to escape the pursuit of the Jinwei Dart Bureau. This gang of robbers was numerous, and the target was the Treasure Map of Gaochang in the hands of Li San, the white horse. The end is that Li San is dead, Shangguan Hong is martyred, and the white horse rides the young Li Wenxiu to escape.
A sandstorm blocked the bandits' journey and indirectly saved Li Wenxiu's life, and since then The Han Chinese Li Wenxiu has integrated into the Kazakh tribe. The bandit gang Jinwei Dart Bureau has not given up its dream of finding the treasure map, and for more than 10 years, it has been tracking down the whereabouts of the little girl Li Wenxiu, trying to get clues from her for the treasure map.
Li Wenxiu was in a panic and escaped the pursuit and killing of the enemy family. The depiction of the fight in the novel is just a general entanglement of grievances, and there are not too many highlights. Finally, the feud ends in the Labyrinth of Gaochang.
There is no emotional depiction here, there is no earth-shattering love, there is no lingering plot. Far less than the wind and snow moon and flesh and hemp state of "Eagle Hero".
The Kazakh tribes in Huijiang show the customs and customs of the grassland, and Jin Yong's description of the scenery is very lyrical, very prose poetry style. Just take a look at the description below:
One night, Li Wenxiu heard the song of the Celestial Bell Bird again, but it sang farther and farther away, faintly, with the sound of the wind drifting some, followed by can not hear.
At night on the prairie, the sky is high and blue, the stars are bright, and the grass and flowers spread fragrance.
The song is very clear, and the singing is gentle and feminine. Li Wenxiu's heart was ecstatic with the song, and he gently stepped off the horse' back, allowing the white horse to chew the grass freely. She lay on her back on the grass, intoxicated by the song.
The celestial bell bird is singing happily, the teenager Li Wenxiu and the young Su Pu meet, Li Wenxiu gives Su Pu a jade bracelet, And Su Pu gives her the tianling bird, and the two have feelings for each other. It was the most beautiful memory, and it also became a nostalgia that Li Wenxiu could not forget in his life.
Li Wenxiu's heart likes the grassland teenager SuPu of green plum bamboo horses, but reality cannot be loved.
At the beginning, because of the treasure map incident, Su Pu's mother and brother were killed by the bandit gang Jinwei Dart Bureau, and since then Su Pu's father, Suluk, "the first Kazakh warrior", has been full of hatred for the Han people. As a teenage hero, Su Pu hung the wolf skin at The door of Li Wenxiu, but was severely beaten by his father Suluk, and the love between the two was suppressed. The kind Li Wenxiu, always thinking about others, does not want to see Su Pu beaten and scolded, in order not to embarrass Su Pu, in the face of Su Pu's courtship, chooses to escape, and hangs the "wolf skin" that symbolizes love to the door of Oman's home... Since then, Li Wenxiu and Su Pu have never seen each other again.
When Li Wenxiu and Su Pu met again, it was the time of the desert snowstorm, and Su Pu and Aman were already lovers. She did not recognize Su Pu head-on, pretending to be a man, Li Wenxiu saw the two people with affection, her heart was sad, she only had to bless this couple, leaving the infinite loneliness in her heart.
Later, Supu married Aman, the daughter of the tribe's Chelku. She missed her beloved.
She could never be with him again. She only likes it in her heart, but she can't get it.
Emotionally, she did not complain, had no quarrel with the world, was elegant, and unworldly. Such a realm may only exist in the world of fairy tale fables.
Throughout jin yong martial arts, the protagonist's love is mostly complete and wonderful.
The love flaws of the heroine of "White Horse Whistling West Wind" are the only examples in Jin Yong's martial arts novels.
It is said that the white horse whistling west wind is a script written by Jin Yong, which was intended to be used for filmmaking. The white horse whistles the west wind, the storyline is not so magnificent, the plot is simple and not compact, there are fewer characters, the style is very different from other novels, and the literary and artistic color is more intense. This may be the reason why "White Horse Roaring West Wind" has not been remade into a movie so far.
Throughout the novel, the white horse accompanies the heroine.
Time is changing, and in the middle of the desert, the white horse has become a landscape that does not fade.
After the reappearance of the Gaochang labyrinth, this Han girl left the desert and she wanted to return to the Central Plains.
In the middle of the desert leading to Yumen Pass, a girl rode a white horse and walked slowly to the east.
The novel concludes with a very helpless question:
If you love someone deeply, but you are deeply in love with someone else, what is the way?
Sad, helpless...
The white horse took her back to the Central Plains step by step. The white horse is old and can only walk slowly, but it can eventually return to the Central Plains. Jiangnan has willows, peach blossoms, swallows, goldfish... Some of the Han people are handsome and brave teenagers, handsome teenagers... But this beautiful girl was as stubborn as the ancient Gaochangguo: "That's all very good and good, but I don't like it." ”
In the last paragraph of the novel, although the story has ended, we feel that we are still unfinished, what will be the future of Li Wenxiu, a girl? When she arrives in the Central Plains, what will happen to her? Limited to the length of the novella, Jin Yong ends with this, leaving the reader with unlimited thinking.
Ni Kuang once said that the end of this hasty end is a bit hasty, and the follow-up story is reflected in Jin Yong's "Lian Cheng Tips".
For details, see my article: Lian cheng tips | huge treasures are secretly hidden in the "Selected Poems of Tang Dynasty", and how to crack it has become the biggest problem
A peak of Jin Yong's realism, Lian Cheng's tips profoundly expose and criticize human nature, and the protagonist is too miserable
The love shortcomings written in this novel are not only between Li Wenxiu and Su Pu, Su Pu and Aman, Li San and the "Three Ladies of The Little Sword of Gold and Silver" Shangguan Hong, "Plum Blossom Gun" Shi Zhongjun and Shangguan Hong, Vallaqi and Ya Lixian, Ma Jiajun and Li Wenxiu, and others. Space limitations will not be elaborated upon.
Through this novel, Mr. Jin Yong takes the experience of the kind and stubborn heroine Li Wenxiu as the main line, and unfolds the narrative, and the good wish for love that he wants to express is more like a love prose poem in martial arts. This prose poem, there are sentimentalities, there is loneliness, vicissitudes and melancholy, just like a desert, white horse, wind and sand map, worthy of the name "White Horse Whistling West Wind"!
Chen Mo, a professor at the Communication University of China and vice president of the Chinese Wuxia Literature Society, dedicated to the study of Chinese cinema and martial arts culture, commented on "White Horse Whistling West Wind":
The beauty of this novel is not in its martial arts, but in its feelings; not in its chivalry, but in its iniquity; not in its goodness, but in its beauty; not in its things, but in its people; not in its hilarity, but in its elegance; not in its sensations, but in its sentimentality; not in its twists and turns, but in its depth... It can be said that it is bland but has a lot of charm.
