The world is so big that only China has martial arts novels.
The world's martial arts authors are many, the sky is full of stars, the unique Jin Yong is the great hero, and the stars are arching the moon.
Everyone needs to talk, and everyone will grow up. Growing up adults want to see adult fairy tales. Except for Jin Yong's martial arts, there is no second adult fairy tale in the world.
We all know that there are two great masters of martial arts novels in China, one is Jin Yong and the other is Gu Long.
Jin Yong and Gu Long are the two best-written Chinese martial arts novels, the two have different temperaments and styles, and have joined forces to push martial arts novels to a new peak.
Jin Yong wrote fifteen martial arts novels in his lifetime, and we are familiar with the "flying snow shooting white deer in the sky, laughing book god hero leaning on bi duck" plus a short story "Yue Nu Sword", each of which can be taken out as Jin Yong's martial arts masterpiece.
Gu Long has written more than seventy martial arts novels, and there are many representative works, such as "The Ruthless Sword of the Amorous Swordsman", "The History of Wulin Foreign History", "Happy Hero", "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng", "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", etc., all of which are popular ancient dragon works.
Jin Yong began to write martial arts novels in 1955, when Liang Yusheng became popular with "Dragon tiger fighting Jinghua", Jin Yong tried the bull knife to serialize the "Book of Swords and Enmity" in the newspaper, he took apart the Yong character of the original name Zha Liangyong as a pen name, the novel was just half serialized, it was already sensational, and then "Green Blood Sword" and "Snow Mountain Flying Fox" came out one after another, Jin Yong became famous, and as soon as "The Legend of the Archery Hero" came out, it was even more earth-shattering, and the whole city competed to read it, thus laying the status of Jin Yong's wulin alliance.
Jin Yong's martial arts novels have caused great repercussions at home and abroad, and some people have said: "Where there are Chinese and Tang people, there are Jin Yong's martial arts novels", which is similar to "where there is well water to drink, you can sing willow words", which is enough to show the wide circulation of Jin Yong's martial arts novels, the large reading group, and the magical charm of Jin Yong's martial arts novels.
Jin Yong's martial arts novels are the splendor of twentieth-century Chinese literature, not only because his novels have a huge number of fans, but more importantly, his novels are broad and profound, and all aspects of traditional Chinese culture are vividly expressed in poetic form. As readers, through Jin Yong's martial arts novels, we can connect with tradition and find a desolate and warm sense of belonging.
Jin Yong has a huge fan base, Gulong is not to mention more, where there are Chinese, Chinese, there are Gulong's martial arts novels, you know the legendary and resounding name of Gulong.
The two most widely circulated sentences about the ancient dragon are "Xiao Li flying knife into a desperate sound, the human world does not see Chu Liuxiang" and "there is no ancient dragon in the world, there is an ancient dragon in the heart", many people only know that this is a legend about the ancient dragon, but do not know that this is two mourning ancient dragons.
Gu Long is a prodigal son, he loves to drink, he loves beautiful women, he is a stranger, he is a miracle. When Jin Yong's martial arts novels made everyone shine, almost everyone thought that no one could write such a wonderful and beautiful martial arts novel again, and the most famous evaluation of Jin Yong in the market was "no ancients before, no one after, unprecedented" These twelve words. Jin Yong became famous earlier, when Jin Yong had already achieved fame, Gu Long was still a fledgling boy, and Jin Yong was naturally a kind of look up to "alpine up".
Gu Long is not an easy person to lose in his bones, he is untamed in his bones, and at the same time he has a genius and keen mind and vision, he sees the shortcomings of traditional martial arts novels, and even has reached the end of the road. Because Jin Yong's writing is too wonderful, the unified jianghu pattern created by Jin Yong has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, in other words, Jin Yong has written traditional martial arts novels to the extreme, and it is difficult for anyone to step on Jin Yong's shoulders to innovate.
Wanting to surpass Jin Yong in the field that Jin Yong is good at is tantamount to a fool's dream, and Gu Long certainly understands this truth.
Therefore, Gu Long broke another world and broke Jin Yong's all-encompassing, unified jianghu writing method of southeast, southwest, and northwest, so there was the peak work of "Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword".
Writing martial arts, you can't help but mention "wu" and "xia", wuxia is the combination of "wu" and "chivalry", Jin Yong once said that "wuxia, wu is the means, chivalry is the end, it is better to have no martial arts, not without heroes", which is also vividly reflected in Jin Yong's novels.
"Wu" is martial arts, and the chivalrous in martial arts novels must have martial arts, so when we look at martial arts novels, there are different schools, different routines, and various martial arts.
Jin Yong's most famous martial art is "Descending Dragon Eighteen Palms", and the most representative martial art in Gu Long's pen should be "Xiao Li Flying Knife".
If there is martial arts, there must be fighting, there are martial arts scenes, and the depiction of martial arts scenes is an indispensable skill for a writer of martial arts novels.
Let's look at a clip:
Qiao Feng shouted, "I have come to learn the means of Juxian Zhuang You's Double Xiong." With his left palm together, a large wine altar flew towards You Ji. You Ji palmed a letter, waiting to clap open the wine altar with his palm power, but unexpectedly Qiao Feng followed the right palm to strike out, and with a bang, a large wine altar turned into a thousand fragments when it ascended. The broken tiles were extremely sharp, and under the push of Qiao Feng's extremely strong palm, it was like a thousand steel darts and flying knives, You Ji was hit by three pieces of his face, his face was full of blood, and more than ten people were injured. All I could hear was the sound of scolding, screaming, and warnings. Qiao Feng kicked out with his left foot, and another wine bowl flew up in the air. He was about to add another slap, when suddenly a soft palm on his back fluttered and clapped. Although this palm strength is soft, it obviously contains a strong internal force. Qiao Feng knew that it was sent by a master, and did not dare to slack off, and returned to the palm of his hand. The two of them were agitated by each other's internal strength, and each of them condensed their concentrations, and Qiao Feng looked at the man, only to see that his appearance was guessed, it was the nameless "Zhao Qiansun" who called himself "Zhao Qiansun Li, Zhou Wu Zheng Wang", and said in his heart: "This person has a strong internal strength, but it should not be taken lightly!" Taking a breath, the second palm struck like a sea of mountains. Zhao Qiansun knew that he could not stop with a single slap, and his two palms came out in unison, intending to block his slap. A woman next to her shouted, "Don't you want to die?" Pulling him diagonally, avoiding the blow from Qiao Feng's front. But Qiao Feng's palm strength still surged forward, and the three people behind Zhao Qiansun bore the brunt of it, only to hear three bangs, and all three of them flew up and crashed heavily on the wall, only to shake a large piece of dust on the wall. Excerpt from "Eight Parts of the Heavenly Dragon"
This is a typical Jin Yong style of writing, There are many martial arts scenes in Jin Yong's novels, one move and one style, Jin Yong will carry out detailed artistic depictions with broad talent, bringing us eternal aftertaste. Jin Yong's martial arts are magical, and at the same time, Jin Yong pays attention to seeking truth and completeness in the bizarre, paying attention to the description of each move and each style, clear and clear, the palm force overwhelms the mountains and the sea, the palm wind can fly sand and stones, and even shoot down the birds in the air.
As we all know, Jin Yong is erudite and has a very rich imagination, he integrates the piano, chess, books and paintings into martial arts, calmly interpreting, fascinating, poetry and sword unity, literary and martial unity, self and nature unity, so the martial arts in Jin Yong's novels are colorful and interesting. More famous is the Eighteen Palms of the Descending Dragon from the I Ching, Li Bai's poems in "Chivalrous Travel" have been directly evolved into peerless martial arts, and the "Jade Girl Suxin Sword Method" is symbolized by ancient beauty in every move and style.
Jin Yong's cleverness in describing the martial arts moves also lies in the use of martial arts to highlight the character of the character, like the "Eighteen Palms of the Descending Dragon" can only be counted as the real Eighteen Palms of the Descending Dragon by Qiao Feng and Guo Jing, because Qiao Feng is arrogant and unrestrained, and Guo Jing is simple and strong. "Eclipsed souls" can only be used by Yang Guo, which is the expression of Yang Guo's sad and infatuated mentality; "Toad Gong" can only be used by Ouyang Feng, who is poisonous and vicious, and "Sword Spectrum to Ward Off Evil Spirits" can only be used by conspirators with different appearances, such as Yue Buqun, Zuo Leng zen, and Dongfang Undefeated.
Look at Cologne's again:
The sword flashed and struck down like lightning. Zhuo Donglai did not hesitate, did not flinch, nor was he confused by the lightning-like dazzling sword light. He had already found the sharp edge of this sword in the flash of light. The tip of the sword is the heart of the sword. The sword momentum changes with the sharp edge, and this change is the lifeblood of this sword. He slashed the lifeblood of this sword. The flickering sword light in the sky suddenly disappeared, and Zhuo Donglai's blade was already behind Sima Sima's left neck. He had no strength left to dodge the counterattack, and the blade that cut the iron like mud could cut off his head in an instant. There was only a flash of knife light, and no blood splattered. This knife is carried down with a knife. Then he left; neither looked back nor looked at Sima Chaoqun again. Sima couldn't help but hiss and ask, "Why didn't you kill me?" ” Zhuo Donglai still did not look back, only said lightly: "Because now you are a dead person." ” Excerpt from "Heroes Without Tears"
Through comparison, it can be seen at a glance that the tricks of Jin Yong and Gu Long are different, and the tricks of Gu Long and Jin Yong, Liang Yusheng and others have completely different flavors.
In fact, the early gulong also wrote such a trick as Jin Yong, and the design and writing method of martial arts once imitated Jin Yong, for example:
This is Gu Long's imitation of Jin Yong's writing, which looks exactly the same, and is deeply rooted in Jin Yong's three ambiguities.
But Gu Long did not continue to use this way of writing, because Gu Long knew that the greatest achievement in writing in this way was "Jin Yong Second" or "Jin Yong's successor".
Therefore, Gu Long took a different path, Gu Long said: "Of course, there can be no tricks in martial arts novels, but shouldn't the way of describing moves be changed?" ”
Whether it is "Pingsha Falling Goose" or "Xuan Bird Scratching Sand", "Black Tiger Digging Heart", "Monkey Stealing Peach", "Pulling Grass and Looking for Snakes" these in Gu Long's view, has been somewhat outdated, readers have read it many times, almost all the martial arts writers at that time wrote tricks like this, there are boards and eyes, there are names and facts, and such martial arts scenes have been flooded, readers have been visually tired, Jin Yong is relying on his own broad talent to cover up this.
Therefore, Gu Long began to forge a unique path, self-reliant portal, self-created martial arts, Gu Long's martial arts to invincible, to empty reality, looming, mysterious, it is Gu Long's most creative martial arts "no trick".
In the master duel, the other party still does not understand what is going on, the other party's sword has already been shot, no one knows how he shot, and no one knows how he drew the sword, and he has fallen.
In Gu Long's pen, the complicated tricks are gone, the beautiful names of the tricks are gone, only two martial arts masters are facing each other, only the tense atmosphere and subtle psychological activities, especially the kind of eyes that look at each other intently and try to see through each other's weaknesses, which makes people feel excited.
In Gu Long's eyes, martial arts are used to win, not to show people, so he does not play any tricks, the real master, winning is often a move a moment, a move is not hit on the whole body retreat, there is no two people play for half a day to dismantle thousands of moves and do not distinguish between victory and defeat.
Gu Long believes that the actions and moves in martial arts novels are not necessarily fighting, and the description of the tricks in the novel should be short and powerful, tigers and tigers are angry, not conventional, and should first create conflicts, the conflict of events, the conflict of emotions, and then the various conflicts are piled up into a climax, and then create an atmosphere, an atmosphere of slaughter, so as to stimulate.
Gu Long thought so, so he wrote like this.
So we see this kind of stimulation in Gu Long's novel, and we look as if we are immersed in the scene, just as nervous as the two martial arts masters facing each other.
Using the atmosphere to set off the excitement of the action is indeed a very clever way, Gu Long has never written this way before, no one has ever handled martial arts design in this way, And Gu Long has created a new way of writing martial arts novels.
Such a genius cologne, had to be impressed.
Jin Yong and Gu Long have created their own world, created their own styles, and both bring endless memories to the reader, as for Jin Yong and Gu Long who is better, this comparison is meaningless. Just as it is difficult for us to compare which martial art is more powerful in the "Eighteen Palms of the Descending Dragon" and the "Little Li Flying Knife".
