Mr. Jin Yong's martial arts novels, with their rich character creation and twists and turns in the plot design, have become classics in Chinese literature. In his pen, there are many characters who have obtained top-notch magical skills, but they have been repeatedly frustrated in actual combat, and are nicknamed "straw bales" by readers. In this article, we'll explore the stories of these four characters and why they're always at a disadvantage in real combat.
Character introduction and analysis
1. Zhang Wuji ("Heaven and Dragon Slayer")
Zhang Wuji, the leader of the Ming Sect, has the two great skills of "Jiuyang True Scripture" and "Qiankun Great Shift", and it stands to reason that he should be invincible. However, his character is too benevolent and lacks decisiveness, which makes him often used by the enemy in actual combat, and even nearly lost his life many times. Although Zhang Wuji's martial arts were high, his kindness and tolerance for the enemy put him at a disadvantage in the struggle in the rivers and lakes.
2. 令狐冲（《笑傲江湖》）
Ling Hu Chong, a disciple of the Huashan faction, inherited the essence of "Dugu Nine Swords". He is a skilled swordsman, but when faced with enemies, he often hesitates because of his affection and righteousness. Although Ling Hu Chong's martial arts are outstanding, his character has made him subject to others many times in actual combat, and he has even been bullied by some opponents whose martial arts are not as good as his.
3. יהוה (יהוה)
Guo Jing, known as the "Northern Hero" in the rivers and lakes, studied under the "Southern Emperor" Duan Zhixing and the "Eastern Evil" Huang Yaoshi, and his martial arts are strong. However, Guo Jing has a simple personality and does not understand the world, which makes him used many times in the rivers and lakes. Although his martial arts are strong enough to stand out from the crowd, his innocence and loyalty have become his weaknesses in actual combat.
4. Di Yun ("The Legend of the City")
Di Yun, a child of a peasant family, got the inheritance of "Liancheng Jue" due to fate. His martial arts have improved by leaps and bounds in a short period of time, but due to his lack of actual combat experience and experience, Di Yun is often passive in the face of enemies. Although his martial arts are strong, his simplicity and straightforwardness have repeatedly frustrated him in the deceit of the rivers and lakes.
Cause analysis
Personality factors
Although these four figures were strong in martial arts, their character traits - benevolence, affection, simplicity and straightforwardness - put them at a disadvantage in actual combat. Their personality makes them often unable to strike decisively when facing the enemy, but is held back by the enemy's strategy.
Inexperienced
In addition to personality factors, these four characters are also relatively lacking in experience and practical experience. When they face seasoned opponents, they often suffer from a lack of ability to handle complex situations.
Jianghu environment
The complexity and cruelty of the rivers and lakes are also one of the reasons for their repeated setbacks. In this environment full of intrigue and betrayal, martial arts alone cannot guarantee everything, and sufficient wisdom and strategy are also required.
epilogue
Although the four "straw bag" characters in Mr. Jin Yong's pen have reached the top level in martial arts, they are always at a disadvantage in actual combat. This is not only because of their character and lack of experience, but also because of the complexity of the environment. Their stories tell us that although martial arts are important, survival in the rivers and lakes requires more wisdom and strategy. The images of these characters, although they have their shortcomings, their integrity and kindness still deserve our respect and learning. In Mr. Jin Yong's martial arts world, their stories will continue to inspire us to pursue justice, to stick to our beliefs, and to face the complex world.
