After martial arts novels were pushed to the highest level by Jin Yong, in addition to the ancient dragon, the status of Jin Yong can be relatively close to Jin Yong, and other martial arts writers only have Liang Yusheng, Wen Ruian and Huang Yishang, and the rest such as Sima Ling, Wo Longsheng, Zhuge Qingyun, Xiao Yi, Xiao Se, Shangguan Ding, Sima Ziyan, Mo Yusheng, Murong Mei, Liu Yanyang, Chen Qingyun, Qiu Mengji, Cao Ruobing, Dongfang Yu, Li Liang, etc., are all like meteors flying away, never to be seen again.
Has that glorious era of martial arts really passed? Actually, there is no such thing as none. If you don't believe it, you can take a look at the popular online articles today, which one does not have the elements and shadows of martial arts? The great man of chivalry advocated in martial arts, for the country and the people, the martial arts proposed in the martial arts to stop the fight for martial arts, the spirit of chivalry first and then martial arts, and righteousness has been continuing, although the face has changed somewhat, but the core has always been in continuous operation, just like the "National Warrior Warriors" written by the Xiao Riding School to talk about today, although it is written about the theme of the era, but there are very wonderful martial arts elements in it.
If you choose the ten most classic works from thousands of online articles, then Xiao Riding School's "Warriors of the Kingdom" should have a place, because this work is so good-looking, so that it can be seen with falsehood, in the turbulent era of the Republic of China, Chen Zikun's birth directly made the era of celebrities and scholars, warlords fighting, and internal and external troubles flashing the most gorgeous colors.
And the place where the most colorful is the Jiangdong Province created by the fictional character Chen Zikun.
Xiao Riding School is very powerful, his works have been hovering on the edge of 404, because although the "Xiao Riding School" he wrote has an overhead component, but because of the time from the May Fourth Movement, to the reform and opening up, and this time period in China, how many singing and crying stories have happened.
For example, the warlord scuffle, the president of the Republic of China is like a marquee, you sing and I will appear. For example, in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Chinese military and civilians formed a united national front to jointly resist the Japanese invaders. There are also such as the Xi'an Incident, the Liberation War, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, etc., all of which are so magnificent.
The protagonist Chen Zikun is like a hero born out of nowhere, he has a fierce heroic spirit, in that black and white old China, first struck down the ruffians, and then had in-depth exchanges with the scholars of Peking University, he learned from China and the West, strong martial arts, thoughtful, affectionate and righteous, and at the same time the means of dealing with the enemy are endless, not only have a big hand, but also a small trick of stealing chickens and dogs. Of course, these descriptions not only strengthen Chan's heroic image, but also make him cute and interesting.
In that turbulent era, Chen Zikun was wrapped in the halo of the protagonist, not only intersected with many famous professors of Peking University, but also had enemies and friends with warlords Wu Peifu, Zhang Zuolin, Feng Yuxiang, Sun Chuanfang, Zhang Xueliang, etc. At the same time, it also has cooperation with the three tycoons of Shanghai Tang. Of course, for Sun Yat-sen and Jiang Zhongzheng, Chen Zikun also had a deep friendship. It's just that at the critical juncture of national righteousness, Chen Zikun still decided to walk with the people, and made great contributions to the War of Liberation and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
Looking at this Xiao Riding School's "Warriors of the Kingdom", you will have the illusion that this is history, because the timeline of the development of the story, including the author's description of various historical figures, is so expressive, and the storyline is also very compact and graphic like a martial arts novel.
From this work, we see the rebirth of martial arts novels after the decline, people say that martial arts are dead, but in fact they are wrong, martial arts novels have always been there, but they have changed their appearance, repackaged, and then radiated a new vitality to continue to infect readers.
This is also why reading Xiao Riding School's "Warriors of the Kingdom" has the kind of refreshingness, that kind of profundity and that hearty pleasure of reading martial arts for a long time.
Jin Gu martial arts.
Let's talk about those good novels!
