As we all know, Jin Yong is the founding father of modern Chinese martial arts novels, and many works have been adapted into film and television dramas, which have a far-reaching impact on the Chinese people. It can be said that many online writers have embarked on the road of novels under the influence of Jin Yong. However, online writers can only imitate the "shape" of Jin Yong's works, but they cannot imitate the "gods" of Jin Yong's works. The root cause is that they lack the cultural heritage of Jin Yong. For example, in the matter of naming novel characters, Jin Yong seems to be very knowledgeable.
The first meaning of the five absolute names
For example, in Jin Yong's novel "The Legend of the Archery Hero", the five absolutes are: the Eastern Evil Yellow Medicine Master, the Western Poison Ouyang Feng, the Southern Emperor YiLan, the Northern Qigong Hong, and the Zhongshentong Wang Chongyang. Many people think that Jin Yong has randomly pinched five names, in fact, each name that Jin Yong has taken is full of deep meaning. The first meaning of these five names corresponds to the five elements of yin and yang.
Huang Yaoshi
In traditional Chinese culture, the east belongs to wood, the west belongs to gold, the south belongs to fire, the north belongs to water, and the Chinese belongs to earth. Let's take a look at the names of these five absolutes: East Evil Yellow Medicine Master, medicine is the head of the grass, so the name of Yellow Medicine Master corresponds to the "wood" in the five elements, and he also happens to live in Peach Blossom Island near the East China Sea; Ouyang Feng, the word feng, so Ouyang Feng corresponds to the "gold" in the five elements, and he comes from the White Camel Mountain Villa in the western region.
Ouyang Feng
A lamp master, the lamp is fire, so he corresponds to the "fire" in the five elements, and his Dali kingdom is also in the south of the Central Plains; Beiqi Hong Qigong, hong this word with "water", so Hong Qigong corresponds to the "water" in the five elements. The main area of activity of the Cai Gang is also in the north; Zhongshentong Wang Chongyang, real name Wang Zhongfu, character Yunqing, after entering the Dao changed his name to Wang Zhe, the character Zhiming, the number of Chongyangzi. "Zhe" corresponds to the "earth" in the five elements, and Xi'an, Shaanxi, where the Quanzhen Sect is located, is located in Guanzhong. Therefore, Zhongshentong is Wang Zhe, who contains the attribute of "earth".
Wang Chongyang
In addition to this, the clothes of these five people also have special designations. For example, the wood in the five elements represents cyan, so the yellow medicine man appears and is always wearing a green shirt. Gold represents white, and the people of White Camel Villa are all dressed in white when they appear. Fire represents red, and the master of one lamp often wears a red robe (in some TV series, the one lamp master robe is yellow, that is because the writers and directors do not understand the deep meaning of Jin Yong's name).
A master of lights
Water represents black or blue, so Hong Qigong's beggar clothes are mainly black and blue. As for Wang Chongyang, the clothes should be earth yellow, but it is obvious that he made a mistake in the TV series. You can find the portrait of Wang Chongyang's ancestor in history, and the clothes in the painting are yellow.
The second meaning of the five absolute names
Another meaning hidden by these five names is the level of the ranking of the five martial arts. At that time, When Huashan discussed the sword, Wang Chongyang was superior in skill and seized the prestige of the first in the world. The other four did not qualify. According to the principle that the five elements of "gold, wood, water, fire, and earth" are mutually exclusive, the answer can actually be known.
Hong Qigong
Among them, "Jin Kemu" alludes to the fact that Huang Yaoshi will be suppressed by Ouyang Feng, and Huang Yaoshi's daughter and disciples are indeed almost folded in Ouyang Feng's hands. "Mu Ketu" does not mean in this novel that Huang Yaoshi can defeat Wang Chongyang, but that he has passed Wang Chongyang's disciple Zhou Bo for many years. "Tukeshui" is also obvious, when Wang Chongyang defeated Hong Qigong, Hong Qigong was indeed not his opponent.
Five absolute
"Water and Fire" is not very obvious in this novel, because Hong Qigong and the Master of One Lamp belong to an ally of a front. The two barely exchanged hands. And "Huo Ke Jin" is the most obvious, the Yang Finger of the Master of One Lamp, and the Toad Gong of Ouyang Feng. Hong Qigong also said to Huang Rong: "That 'Southern Emperor' kung fu is so strong, your father and I are jealous of him for three points, Nanhuo Kexijin, he is even more the nemesis of the old poison Ouyang Feng." ”
In this way, among the remaining four absolutes, it should belong to Hong Qigong's highest martial arts, because he has lost the opponent who restricts him.
