Press: This poem was composed by Mr. Liao Binyu when he was 15 years old, and he read the martial arts novels of Jin Yong, Gu Long and Liang Yusheng in its entirety as a teenager. The poetic intent of "Chivalrous Travels" was drawn by the famous painter Cheng Jun, and annotated by professor Zhang Hongxing, a famous cultural scholar. This article is selected from the "Zhongtian and Standing Collection".
The sword is only a hero, but he walks the end of the world with righteousness.
Heroes have been few and far between since ancient times, and their adventures are now exaggerated.
Three glasses of wine in red dust, a pot of tea in a thousand autumns.
Act evil with a true and heroic heart, and forget about the rivers and lakes to repay the country.
Professor Zhang Hongxing's Note:
Ren Xia: Rely on authority, courage or financial means to help the weak and help others. "History of JiBu Luan Bu Lie's Biography": "Ji Bu people, Chu people also." For qi renxia, famous in Chu. The poem begins by pointing out that martial arts focus on righteousness and heroism, stand up and act directly with a chest, be happy and vengeful, and describe an ideal world that is very different from reality.
Boasting: exaggeration, empty boasting. Tang Dai Shulun One of the "Plugged Songs": "Han Zu praised Lou Force, but married the princess to Yu. This sentence combined with the previous sentence should refer to the fact that most of the heroes in martial arts novels are juvenile heroes, especially Jin Yong novels, almost every one of them is a hero growth history, and each protagonist has deduced various legendary stories because of adventures. Today's real life also occasionally has similar legendary characters and their legendary stories happening, but they are not as strange and cheerful as in martial arts novels. It can be said that martial arts novels can also inspire people, strive to move forward, and pursue excellence.
Three glasses of wine in the red dust, a pot of tea in the great cause of a thousand autumns: the things that are disturbed in the red dust have been discussed in three glasses of two glasses of wine; The hegemonic ambitions of the world are not as good as the fragrance of a pot of tea. It shows that the poet expresses a spiritual quality through the strife of the martial arts world, that is, "indifferent to Mingzhi, tranquility and far-reaching" and the detachment and freedom of cloud and light wind. The intensity of drinking and the gentleness of tea tasting are inextricably integrated, which is a wonderful state that poets can only experience and integrate into their own spirit when reading martial arts novels. After the vigorous life, it will eventually return to plainness. In addition, in real life, the martial arts novel writer Jin Yong loves tea, and Gu Long is drunk, and these two sentences also clearly describe the completely different life experiences of the two writers. Jin Yong, who loves tea, is gentle and elegant, founded Ming Pao, and created a great cause other than martial arts; And the alcoholic Gu Long died young in the burst of flesh and blood. It can also be regarded as the poet's nostalgia for the two writers.
Acting evil with a righteous heart: behaving obediently and having a bright mind. This is a common feature of wuxia novels. Duan Yu in the Eight Parts of the Heavenly Dragon; Huang Yaoshi and Huang Rong women in "The Legend of the Archery Hero"; Yang Guo in "The Condor Man"; Ling Hu Chong in "Laughing proud of the jianghu"; Zhang Wujie in "The Book of the Dragon Slayer in the Heavens"; To Wei Xiaobao in Jin Yong's last "Deer Ding", this is not the case. Compared with Confucianism, wuxia is closer to Taoism, and if Confucianism is a culture that stands above the temple to safeguard the nationality and social welfare, then wuxia thought is a culture that is far away from the rivers and lakes and also maintains the national ethnic community. This point is qiao Feng's helplessness and righteousness in the context of the Song-Liao confrontation era in the "Eight Parts of the Heavenly Dragon"; "The Legend of the Archery Hero" Song Jin confronts Guo Jing in the context of this era; "Yitian Slaughtering Dragon" can be seen in the background of the Song and Yuan dynasties confrontation era Zhang Wuji and Zhu Yuanzhang's story, etc. Confucianism advocates zhongzheng peace and pursues the perfection of the big and the right, and the Taoists can "use the odd to use the army", so as to form a pattern of complementarity between the qi and the positive, while the chivalry has a little more agility and swinging intestines, the Confucian pursuit of perfection and near-roundabout, the chivalry is closer to the public to infect the public, both have a common theme, uphold justice, fight against adultery. To punish evil and promote good is to be a hero, and to stop at the most good is to be holy. The poet expresses that the sages are perfect, admirable and admirable; Chivalry is not perfect, hence the idea that it is lovely.
Forgetting the Rivers and Lakes: "Zhuangzi Inner Chapter, Great Master" and "Zhuangzi Outer Chapter, Heavenly Fortune". "It is better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes." The poet's last sentence expresses that in history and even today, there are always many unsung heroes like the heroes in martial arts novels, who have been buried because they are in the rivers and lakes, and their stories may only be spread in the city and the street. Despite this, these obscure heroes are still serving the country and the people in their own way.
