In "Shooting Eagle", Huang Rong is a very perfect heroine and one of the best heroines in Jin Yong's novels. However, in "Divine Eagle", readers' praise for her is not as good as in the "Shooting Eagle" period. So, why did Huang Rong become less popular with readers in "Divine Eagle"?
I think that Huang Rong's lack of praise is nothing more than three things.
First, Huang Rong only taught Yang Guo to read and did not teach him martial arts.
The reason why Huang Rong taught Yang Guo to read and not to teach him martial arts. It is not that he discriminates and despises him, but that he is worried that he will become a person who knows martial arts but does all kinds of bad things like his father Yang Kang. Therefore, she first taught Yang Guo to read and not to teach him martial arts first, to put it bluntly, that is, to let him first learn culture and be a person, and then learn martial arts. In this way, he will one day become a person like Guo Jing. Although Huang Rong had no intention of doing so. Later, Yang Guo's experience of being bullied in the Quanzhen Sect, Huang Rong could not predict it, although she was called a female Zhuge Ge, but she could not predict the future. If she could predict the future, then she might teach Yang Guo culture at the same time, but also teach martial arts, at least teach some simple introductory kung fu! In addition, she was also worried that Yang Guo had learned martial arts to avenge her and Guo Jing, after all, Yang Kang's death, they were somewhat responsible. So, who would put a snake that bites themselves in their arms?
Second, Huang Rong's words made Xiaolongnü and Yang Guo separate.
Huang Rong told Xiaolongnü that Yang Guo might not be able to stand the life of the ancient tomb would come out. What she meant by this was that Yang Guo might not be able to stay in the tomb forever. Later, Xiaolongnü asked Yang Guo what if he stayed bored in the ancient tomb? Yang Guo replied, let's go out and play together. But the little dragon girl misunderstood that he would not stay in the tomb and live with her all the time. In my opinion, even if Huang Rong didn't say this, then the little dragon girl might think of it or find out one day. Because Yang Guo at that time was already like this. Therefore, Yang Guo Xiaolongnü would separate at that time, not that Huang Rong let them separate. Rather, this problem was originally a time bomb, and Huang Rong only reminded the little dragon girl. Therefore, Yang Guo and Xiaolongnü will be separated, and this pot cannot be counted on Huang Rong's head.
Third, Huang Rong was worried that Yang would come to her and Guo Fu to avenge her.
As Guo Xiang's sixteenth birthday approached, Huang Rong found out what Guo Xiang had said behind his back. She was worried that Yang would come to her and Get revenge on Guo Fu. In fact, Huang Rong thought like this, which is very normal. After all, Yang Kang died under Huang Rong's soft hedgehog armor, and Yang Guo's right arm (the original cut was the right arm, except for Huang Xiaoming's version, the others were cut off the left arm. This article is based on the original work. Cut off by Guo Fu. If the victim were you, would you choose to forgive? Of course not, at least not most people. In these years, where have you been killed by others and swallowed your anger and let it go? What others do to you, you do to others, this is very normal! And some people think of Huang Rong as a person with a small belly and chicken intestines. This is probably the effect of the halo effect! The so-called halo effect is actually the meaning of feeling that good people are better and bad people are worse. It may be that readers think that Yang Guo is too good, so they will feel that Huang Rong is too bad.
To sum up, Huang Rong's evaluation in "Shooting Eagle" and "Divine Eagle" is so different, not so much because of the change in age, but rather because of the change in her different positions in the two books and the reader's preference for looking at the problem from Yang Guo's perspective, and when reading "Divine Eagle" and watching the "Divine Eagle" TV series, she regarded herself as Yang's sake. And I am not writing this article to fight against the reader, but to see the problem from a different perspective. After all, a thousand readers, a thousand Hamlets, no one is right or wrong about the people in the book, just different perspectives.
