As the greatest martial arts novelist in modern times, Mr. Jin Yong is definitely a person worthy of our nostalgia, especially the martial arts works he left us, which are the memories of several generations, so that people will not feel bored even if they read it a few times.
But when we have seen a few of Jin Yong's martial arts works, can you find some inscrutable details in many works? These details even sometimes make people feel incredible, so let's understand today, what are these details? What kind of background does this represent?
Ugly men have no love, and ugly women are just sisters
In "Heaven and Dragon Slayer: Postscript" (revised edition), Jin Yong once said: "The book is too superficial, and it is not like this in real life, because I didn't understand it at that time." ”
This sentence actually has a deep meaning, the most important thing is to show that Jin Yong has continued to understand human nature in reality in his writing at different ages, and only then has he added it to his works, which is tantamount to reflecting his deepening of his understanding of human nature and love.
In 1955, the 31-year-old Jin Yong wrote the first work in his life "Book of Swords and Enmity", in which the protagonist Chen Jialuo "wears a green shirt, looks like jade, is clear and soft", it is obvious that he is a personable young man, so he has the love of no one Huo Qingtong and Princess Xiangxiang.
At that time, Jin Yong may have already known that those beautiful love stories may only exist under the beautiful appearance, although talented people have been matched with beautiful women since ancient times, but talented people are generally good-looking, not ugly.
However, later, with Mr. Jin Yong's high recognition of his works, he felt that love was not only limited to the beautiful appearance, but should be integrated throughout the body, so in his later works, he made great changes.
For example, in "Blue Blood Sword", Jin Yong described Yuan Chengzhi as not a handsome guy, but he was still loved by the royal family, in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", for Guo Jing's appearance, he only used "thick eyebrows and big eyes, big shoulders and round waist" to describe it, which shows that Guo Jing is not a handsome son, and he is still accompanied by Huang Rong.
Jin Yong, who is in his thirties, seems to have a new understanding of love, and integrates his real-life stories into his works!
In 1959, when he was 35 years old when he wrote "Flying Fox in the Snow Mountain", the male protagonist Hu Fei was "full of cheeks and hair, roots like iron, thick hair, but no braids, and upside down like grass", such an extremely ugly appearance, still got the beautiful Miao Ruolan.
In "The Story of Deer and Ding", Wei Xiaobao was described by Jin Yong as a very successful man, with many beauties around him, in "Yue Nu Sword", Ah Qing "has long eyelashes and big eyes, fair skin, very beautiful appearance, slender figure, weak and slender", but she still can't compare to Xi Shi, Xi Shi finally relied on her beauty to take Fan Li away.
Beauty seems to have become a common way of cognition in martial arts, and we can also find it in watching TV dramas, if a handsome chivalrous man saves a beauty, the beauty will say: "The son's life-saving grace cannot be repaid, and the little woman is willing to repay her salary with her body." ”
But on the contrary, he will say: "I can't repay the child's life-saving grace, the little woman is willing to be a cow and a horse in the next life to repay this great kindness, if this woman is good-looking, it's fine, but if she doesn't look good, the male protagonist will say: "Girl and don't do this."
In more than a dozen works of Jin Yong, beautiful love is always left to handsome men and beautiful women, between ugly men and ugly women, only grief is left, whether in the work or in reality, appearance has become our first intuitive cognition of a person, this theory may have existed for thousands of years, which also lets us know that those beautiful fairy tales and love stories are also prepared for good-looking people.
"Minzi women are all ruthless characters"
I don't know if you have noticed it, in Jin Yong's martial arts works, almost all those who have the character Min in their names are almost all very ruthless characters.
For example, Zhao Min, who we are most familiar with, as the heroine of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", although she is beautiful and has brought us an unforgettable love, she has won many martial arts masters on her appearance, and she has done everything to kill people and cut off her fingers. Secondly, there is Ding Minjun, as the "poisonous hand without salt" of the Emei faction, Ji Xiaofu and Zhou Zhiruo have been hurt by her.
In "Dragon Babu", Kang Min and Fu Minyi are also femme fatales, Kang Min framed Qiao Feng extremely viciously, Fu Minyi treats human life like a mustard, and his actions are extremely vicious, they are all ruthless characters, I don't know why Mr. Jin Yong is so sensitive to Min Zi, and they are both women, and his old man was injured by Min on the stele?
"Fujian people have been wiped out"
In Jin Yong's martial arts novels, there are many Fujian people who have been wiped out, including Huang Xian, Lin Pingzhi, Zhuo Bufan and Shi Lang, one is the author of "Nine Yin True Scripture", the other is a master who has practiced the sword spectrum to ward off evil spirits, and there are also masters of sea generals, but they were all wiped out in the end, why is the original of this?
For this reason, many people on the Internet speculated that Jin Yong's first girlfriend may be from Fujian, so Jin Yong held a grudge against it after breaking up, but we don't know what the truth is!
The male protagonists are all orphans
There is another detail, that is, in Jin Yong's novels, almost all the male protagonists are orphans!
Guo Jing is a posthumous son, his mother was later forced to die, Yang Guo is also a posthumous son, his mother died early, Zhang Wuji watched his parents commit suicide, Yuan Chengzhi, Hu Fei, Di Yun, Ling Huchong and Li Wenxiu are all orphans, Wei Xiaobao and Xuzhu Duan Yu don't know who their father is.
The families of these martial arts male protagonists, I don't know if Jin Yong is deliberately describing or what they mean, anyway, they just give people a feeling of being in a desperate situation.
Of course, martial arts novels are ultimately just to give us a chivalrous feeling, and the setting of the characters must be related to Jin Yong's attitude towards life, which is the youth memory of several generations of us!
