Someone asked me, what is a jianghu? What is Wulin?
I replied: Mount Hua on the sword, the peak of the Forbidden Purple, that is the martial forest. The little two are drunk, and the big hero spares his life, that is the jianghu.
Of course, different people have different understandings of the rivers and lakes, Gu Long will tell you that "people in the rivers and lakes, involuntarily", Xu Ke said in the movie that "the earthly world is like a tide of people like water, only sighing a few people in the rivers and lakes back", Fan Zhongyan replied while drinking: The height of the temple is worried about the people, and the far side of the rivers and lakes is worried about its king.
And Jin Yong will definitely say: As long as there are people where there are people, there will be grievances, there will be rivers and lakes, and people are rivers and lakes.
Indeed, whether it is "Tianlong Babu", "Legend of the Archery Hero" or "Deer Ding", the rivers and lakes and the temple have always been closely linked.
In order to protect the people of the Great Song Dynasty, xiao Feng of the Khitans was willing to fulfill their oath and commit suicide at Yanmen Pass, Guo Jing and Huang Rong fought with the Mongol army to the death of exhaustion in order to defend Xiangyang, and even Wei Xiaobao, who was most like a leper, could do his best in the Battle of Yaksa in order to maintain the territorial integrity of the country.
To tell you the truth, I like such stories, I also love to see such heroes, but I always feel that they are too far away from me, you say, Xiao Feng's bizarre life between the Khitan and the Han people, doomed to carry the historical mission that ordinary people can not carry, Guo Jing Yang Kang's name is taken from the "difficulty of Jing Kang", the hero in the chaotic world, the important back for the country and the people, bowing down to the responsibility, otherwise what are you a hero, Wei Xiaobao is not to mention, in real life, there are several people who can be the number one leader of the country.
That's why I said, Xiao Feng, Guo Jing, Wei Xiaobao, and other martial artists, we used to love and admire, but our hearts are actually very far away from them.
Most people have a lifelong life, no bizarre life, no unique martial arts, and no historical mission that is indispensable to me, we are just the most ordinary sentient beings, how dare we expect to become such a hero as Xiao Feng and Guo Jing.
Perhaps Mr. Jin Yong also realized this, so he changed the routine of "the great hero, for the country and the people" in the past, put aside the historical environment, put aside the protagonist's life, and wrote this wonderful "Smiling Proud of the Rivers and Lakes".
Ling Hu Chong is so far my favorite protagonist, there is no one, he does not have Xiao Feng's mission, no Guo Jing's responsibility, no Wei Xiaobao's calculations, he looks absurd, hippie smile, happy in front of the master and master's mother," dancing in front of the master and the wife, there is no posture of the master brother at all, angry with the division brothers "this morning there is wine and this morning drunk", it is such a big grinning man, in the face of his beloved little master sister but out of inferiority "dare not confess".
Think about it carefully, whether there are any similarities between your experience and Ling Huchong, sometimes I feel that he is me, I am him, and the Huashan Sect is equivalent to all of us"!
Before you went down the mountain, your master and master were so amiable, they taught you earnestly, warned you that the rivers and lakes are sinister, and you need to be careful in everything, but you did not pay attention, because you only had a little master sister in your eyes, and at that time you felt that love was all, what grand ambition was hegemonic, what was the first in the world, all of them had to make way for their first love.
But you never expected that the little master sister fell in love with the handsome-looking Fujian boy, and for this reason you were in great pain, and your liver and intestines were broken.
The three major sufferings of life: resentment and hatred, love and separation, can not be sought, some fate is doomed to be lost, but the fledgling you do not understand.
So you swear to practice your skills hard, you vow to make a name for yourself in the rivers and lakes, but the mountain gate above Mount Hua and the rivers and lakes under Mount Hua are basically two different things, which is somewhat similar to when you went to college and after graduation, the rivers and lakes and society are a complex system full of grudges and hatreds, full of interest exchange, some people have feelings and righteousness, some people are ruthless and unjust, different causes, different results, you choose to have or not, enter or retreat, all by your own heart!
What is Chivalrous? The chivalrous man is destined to fight against the decay of the whole world with a lonely conscience. When you stay on the rivers and lakes for a long time, you will find that the temples and the rivers and lakes are the same.
Those so-called emperors, presidents, and chairmen are actually just a larger wulin alliance lord, and they are always worried that someone will come to the top and take their place, so they engage in some thousands of years, engage in some reading and singing, invite people's hearts, and suppress dissatisfaction; those so-called prefects, zhizhou, and zhixian are actually just sect leaders, leaders, and helpers of different sects, who are fighting and killing each other for the sake of the so-called Sword Sect Qi Sect' concepts, for the sake of the Five Peaks Sword Sect, and for the actual interests of the Sun and Moon Sect Even those small servants, Xu (Xu) officials, and fast catchers are actually just insignificant disciples and disciples of a certain sect, and they may be betrayed by your classmates, colleagues, and even your closest masters at any time.
You think you resigned, you don't do it, you fired your boss, you can swim in the sea from now on, be a hermit in the mountains, scatter people in the five lakes, and find that going to any place is the same jianghu, because you can't help being in the crowd. What you didn't accept and disdain before, perhaps, is what you are complacent and happy in the next moment.
When I watched "Smiling Proud of the Rivers and Lakes", I also thought about such a problem, that Yue Buqun, who was known as the "Gentleman's Sword", perhaps he was also a teenager with bright eyes and bright teeth when he was young, and he also had the great ambition to swallow the world, but unfortunately, the years smoothed out his edges and corners, the struggle polluted his soul, and the ambition of his youth also became his last paranoia, making him sink into the devil's path and could not extricate himself!
It's really ridiculous, self-proclaimed righteous gentleman's dirty will not be rare, the real bright and upright may be the devil cult demon, even if you cut off an arm to help you escape the robe Ze Xiangtian, this is a black and white upside down jianghu.
But in terms of heart, there are still those sincere and beautiful things in the jianghu that are worth loving, cherishing, and reminiscing, such as losing Yue Lingshan, but destined to meet Ren Yingying, such as being expelled from the Huashan Sect, but yin and yang mistakenly became the leader of the Hengshan Sect, with a large group of believers following around, through another way to achieve the justice and ambition in their hearts. I think this is probably the biggest charm of jianghu in my heart.
At some point, I think Fox Chong and Boy Pi are quite similar, we are all ordinary people, full of endless curiosity about this complex world, without realizing that it is a man-eating monster!
And the node of life always comes so suddenly, suddenly to the point that the teenager Pi has not even had time to say goodbye to the beloved girl, and he has to go on the road alone, facing the man-eating tiger of life in the boundless rivers and lakes.
This tiger, like the undefeated silver needle in the East, is dangerous enough to take your life at any time, but it also makes you feel the taste of confidant between life and death, this tiger is Mr. Mo Da's sword, it is the star-sucking Dafa of any way, it is the Yi Jian Jing of the Shaolin Temple, and it is a table and a hongmen feast set for you by this jianghu along the way.
Despite the dangers and bruises, you still push the cup with everyone, drink and brain fever, sing and laugh, and sigh "there is a hero in the wind and dust".
At this moment, whether you can be a chivalrous guest may not matter, what is important is that you know yourself, people in the jianghu, how tomorrow will be, where is the king, where am I, who can know?
The jianghu is like this, why should we say more, why should we say it again, everyone, if there is a chance, the jianghu goodbye!
