Preface
"People in the rivers and lakes, the body can't help themselves," this is the most common and most able to explain the situation of the prodigal son in Gu Long's martial arts novels, Gu Long will often use the body of the people in the rivers and lakes to explore the weight of freedom.
"The Sword of the Third Young Master" is the first and last work of Gu Long's "Jianghu People Series", the theme of the novel is not limited to martial arts, but also has a profound literary connotation, although it is to seek change in innovation, but the quality is really excellent.
Topic Paraphrasing
The first time I read "The Sword of the Third Young Master", everyone must be deeply impressed by the sentence "Cuiyun Peak, Green Water Lake, Xie Xiaofeng, the Third Young Master of Shenjian Villa", which appears repeatedly at the beginning of the work, giving the reader an infinite sense of mystery before the protagonist appears.
Reading the whole work in combination with the theme, we can feel that the "sword" of the third young master written by Gu Long is definitely not simply referring to the sword in his hand, so how should we interpret it?
You know, Gu Long has a Xi of writing, that is, he likes to use tools to metaphor people, "The sword is in the people, and the sword also refers to the people." For a better understanding, we can dig deeper, such as Yan Shisan's "sword", the black shark skin sheath, which is described very close to his person, as if telling his life. And the "sword" of the third young master, which is nurtured by fireworks every day, is obviously not only a weapon, but also a inheritance and sacrifice.
The Lord of Cuiyun Peak, the Lord of Green Water Lake, the inheritor of the Divine Sword Villa, and the identity of the Third Young Master are all in it, revealing the burden he bears and the blood of the rivers and lakes flowing in his body.
He has no freedom, and the sword in his hand is his shackles, a cage for life, so he wants to be Aji, and he wants to escape.
Anti-叙据
One of the core characters of the story is the swordsman Yan Thirteen, who is famous all over the world for his "Thirteen Swords of Death" and rarely meets opponents. His lifelong wish was only to challenge Xie Xiaofeng, the third young master of the Divine Sword Villa, and pursue a duel with no regrets even if he died. However, when he stepped on the stars and the moon, crossed thousands of rivers and mountains to Shenjian Villa, he found that the third young master had passed away before him.
Yan Shisan's sad wish was empty, his heart was like a tree, and he carved a boat to seek a sword and disappeared, and it seemed that the story was over. Of course, the story doesn't end there, it just begins. Why did our Third Young Master of Shenjian Villa, a near-perfect Jianghu hero, incarnate as a "useless Aji" and hide in the alleys of the market?
Focused autopsis
This idea provides a lesson for Xie Xiaofeng's "abandonment of the world and running away" setting in "The Sword of the Third Young Master". The leader of the world's largest gang is willing to disappear, and the third young master of Shenjian Villa also chooses to escape his name, this peculiar setting allows readers to appreciate the unusual scenery of the rivers and lakes in martial arts novels.
Xie Xiaofeng let go of the past and became a useless "Aji", intending to find inner peace. But that didn't bring him peace of mind. Martial arts are still there, and killing is inevitable.
Yan Shisan's "struggle for fame" at the beginning and Xie Xiaofeng's "abandonment of the world" complement each other, making the whole plot more compact and interesting, and also laying suspense for the final battle of the story, and readers are full of expectations for the ending.
Yan Shisan had already gone through several battles on the way to the Divine Sword Villa, and with the help of his disciple Tie Kaicheng, although he already knew that his "Fourteen Swords of Death" was the nemesis of the Third Young Master's swordsmanship, he still couldn't defeat him, so he was still waiting, waiting for his fifteenth sword ......
Sentence end Kango
"Martial arts literary" is the theme that Mr. Gu Long has been studying in his 24-year creative career. In this regard, he is often in a hurry, but in the innovation of "The Sword of the Third Young Master", he seems to have found the light.
Gu Long used the third young master Xie Xiaofeng as a typical example of the Jianghu people to depict in detail, his literary and innovative is better than "Meteor, Butterfly, Sword" and "Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword" and other famous works, only a real prodigal son, can write the prodigal son's career vividly and vividly.
Drama is like life, and the work "The Sword of the Third Young Master" is enough to make us think a lot. Of course, the life of the prodigal son, the reflection of martial arts novels on the lives of specific people, this is his limitation. Through the description of Xie Xiaofeng, we see a complex soul with inner contradictions and entangled by the rivers and lakes. He incarnated as "Aji" and wanted to get rid of the shackles of the rivers and lakes, but in the end he found that all evasion was in vain, and he couldn't solve the problem at all, because he was an insider.
This is not only the dispute between the rivers and lakes, but also the inner cry of the characters, Gu Long through the role of Xie Xiaofeng, shows the reader the unknown side of the people in the rivers and lakes, revealing their inner contradictions and pursuits.
