"Book of Swords and Vengeance" is Mr. Jin Yong's first martial arts novel, the pioneering work. The birth of this novel actually stems from a chance, this opportunity directly affected Jin Yong's life, changed Jin Yong's fate, and became the beginning of Jin Yong's path to martial arts creation.
Regarding the book Of Swords and Enmity, it is necessary to mention Jin Yong's colleague Liang Yusheng at the time, a pioneer of the new school of martial arts novels.
Jin Yong and Liang Yusheng are colleagues of the New Evening News. At that time, Jin Yong had not yet used the pen name Jin Yong, his name was Zha Liangyong. And Liang Yusheng's name is Chen Wentong.
In October 1949, Hong Kong's "New Evening News" was launched, and Leung YuSheng was transferred to the "New Evening News" by the chief screenwriter Rover. In 1951, at the age of 27, Liang Yusheng was appointed editor of the supplement of the New Evening News, "Tianfang Yetan"; while Zha Liangyong (Jin Yong) was appointed as the editor of the "Afternoon Tea Party" of the "New Evening News", and the two became colleagues of the newspaper, had a good relationship, and liked to play chess together.
Jin Yong and Liang Yusheng
Speaking of Jin Yong, I have to mention his Bole boss, Mr. Rover.
Rover, a Hong Kong newspaperman and editor-in-chief of the New Evening News at the time, was Jin Yong, Leung Yu-sang's BoLe and mentor, and was known as:
The progenitor of The Bo Le and Jin Yong Liang Yusheng martial arts novels in the Hong Kong literary world.
The rise of Hong Kong wuxia novels is directly related to the forward-looking vision of wuxia culture by the editor-in-chief Rover. In 1954, a contest between the Tai Chi school and the White Crane school in Hong Kong caused a sensation in Hong Kong and the mainland. At the same time, it has aroused the world's interest in martial arts.
As the editor-in-chief of the new evening newspaper, Rover has a clear business mind, and immediately realized the reader's needs of martial arts novels, Rover took a fancy to Liang Yusheng's writing talent, and on the third day after the competition, Liang Yusheng published "Dragon Tiger Dou Jinghua" in the "New Evening News" newspaper to get the praise of readers, and the newspaper was robbed madly. On August 1, "Dragon tiger fighting Jinghua" was serialized; on August 11, Liang Yusheng published his second novel, "The Legend of the Grass Mang Dragon and Snake".
Liang Yusheng's two novels have supported the world of martial arts novels in the new evening newspaper and won the wide love of readers.
After that, Liang Yusheng's martial arts novels were many, many of which belonged to the fine works. "Seven Swords Under the Heavenly Mountain", "Ping Trace Hero Video", "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" and so on are all his famous works.

Liang Yu was born with a bad birth, and the newspaper column was vacant, which gave Jin Yong a perfect opportunity and changed Jin Yong's fate.
Liang Yusheng traveled to the north for a while, and the newspaper's martial arts feature could not be stopped, because the readers did not agree, which would directly affect the sales of the newspaper. At this time, the chief screenwriter Rover thought of Zha Liangyong, who was the same age and hobby as Liang Yusheng, so he asked Char Liangyong to write a serial novel.
At this time, Jin Yong was also called "Zha Liangyong", and he had previously done foreign translation and editorial, but had never written a martial arts novel. At this time, Jin Yong actually belongs to the newcomer, a small white in the jianghu, who has no experience in writing martial arts, and even has some inferiority.
Rover is kind and kind, knows people and is good at responsibility, he sees the potential of Jin Yong, encourages Jin Yong to write serial novels, it can be said that Rover is Jin Yong's Bole! Jin Yong's thousand-mile horse was discovered by Rover.
Jin Yong himself made a self-description of the background of his own creation of "Book of Swords and Enmity":
One day eight months ago, the editor-in-chief of the new evening and the boss of "Heavenly Night" suddenly pulled out the manuscript to me urgently, saying that "grass recklessness" was over, and there must be a "martial arts" on top. Liang Yusheng was in the north at this time, saying that his fellow disciple Zhongxiao saw that the sword master was practicing martial arts, so the responsibility of writing the manuscript had to fall on my head.
But I had never written a martial arts novel, not even any novel, so I didn't dare to agree. But the two old editors are old friends, to paraphrase a metaphor in the "book sword", it is simply the friendship between Zhang Hump and Brother Wen, well, the big husband said to write, at most it is not good to write, can I still take my life? So a phone call came to the newspaper and said that the name of the novel was "Book of Swords and Vengeance".
According to Jin Yong's self-report, at that time, Liang Yusheng's "Biography of the Grass Mang Dragon and Snake" had been serialized, and the newspaper column was in a "gap period", and it was urgent for someone to fill the gap. Liang Yusheng and the "Sword Lord" are competing in martial arts, competing in martial arts, and should be studying martial arts moves and the like, and in the short term, there is no way to return to the society.
Jin yong 's
This undoubtedly gave Jin Yong, who also loved martial arts, a chance to show himself, and opportunities often favored only those who were prepared.
Jin Yong was born in Xiangmendi, Haining, Zhejiang, and has been reading poetry books since childhood, reading martial arts novels, and is no stranger to martial arts novels. But to create their own martial arts novels, this is indeed the first time that the big girl has been on the flower palanquin.
The newspaper needed someone to help, and in the face of the newspaper's request for help, Jin Yong reluctantly agreed to fight the righteousness and rescue the emergency.
The old editor was a hot hand, and immediately sent a co-worker to my house and said that he would write a thousand-word manuscript before 9 o'clock, otherwise there would be a big blank space in the newspaper tomorrow. So on the first day, I described an old man in the Saiwai Ancient Road with great emotion, and the first part of the Book of Swords and Vengeance was written in this way.
I couldn't believe that Jin Yong's "Book of Swords and Enmity" was actually forced out.
According to Jin Yong's own account, in order to urge the manuscript, the editor-in-chief sent a colleague from the newspaper to run directly to Jin Yong's home and urge the manuscript. In other words, I'm just waiting for the manuscript here, and if you can't finish it, I'll stay at your house and not leave. This is equivalent to the leader arranging tasks, afraid of employee delays, and sending someone to supervise the work! This trick is really amazing!

There is pressure to have motivation, and under pressure, there must be miracles. In the face of the on-site urging of the workers, Jin Yongwen thought about the spring and conceived the opening plot, so there was the first time "The First Time the Ancient Road Horse Surprised white hair", and the Famous Lu Feiqing of the Wudang Sect appeared.
At the beginning of the book, Jin Yong quotes a poem: "The general is famous in a hundred battles, to the river beam, back to the thousand miles, the old man is extinct." Easy water Xiao Xiao west wind cold, full of clothes like fog. The righteous hero sang a song of sorrow. The chirping bird still knows as much as it hates, and does not expect to cry green tears and cry blood. Who's with me, Drunken Moon? ”
An old man in good spirits, riding on a horse, hummed the word with emotion. He looked around, only to see that the night was gradually closing, and on the long Saiwai Ancient Road, except for their large group of mules and horses, there were only gusts of crows, and no other sounds could be heard...

Based on the legend of Qianlong's life in his hometown of Haining, Jin Yong integrated the story of the anti-Qing dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty, and constructed the context of the story of "Book of Swords and Enmity". The book Sword and Vengeance was serialized in the newspaper, won the favor of readers, the newspaper sold well, and the name Jin Yong was known to the world since then.
There are heart-planted flowers that do not bloom, and there is no heart to plant willows. As a model of the new school of martial arts novels, the success of Jin Yong's "Book of Swords and Enmity" gave Jin Yong, who had never written martial arts novels, great self-confidence, and since then, Jin Yong has become more and more familiar with the creation of martial arts novels, creating 15 novels such as "Flying Snow Shooting White Deer in the Sky, Laughing Book God Hero Leaning on Bi Duck" and so on, becoming the grand master of Chinese martial arts novels.

Jin Yong is full of poetry books, and his love for martial arts novels and knowledge reserves are already available, which is an important foundation for the creation of "Book Sword". Opportunities will only be given to those who are prepared.
An opportunity may change the trajectory of a person's life. Jin Yong was forced to create "Book Sword" because of the emergency of the jianghu, and he never expected that a jianghu xiaobai would actually become a hit and create the first classic martial arts. After that, it was out of control, and the road to creation made rapid progress, creating 15 martial arts works in 18 years, becoming a legend among Chinese writers!
Today, although Mr. Jin Yong has gone away, the martial arts world he created is still wonderful and has become an indispensable spiritual food in mass culture!
