Press: On October 30, 2018, Mr. Jin Yong, a generation of martial arts literature masters, passed away. At that time, I was still in the Spring City Evening News, serving as the chief editor and chief writer of culture. For four consecutive days, four pages of series of reports were published in a row, and I was deeply nostalgic. This is the second part. (Wen Xing)
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > brilliant and mysterious! Jin Yong's "Yunnan Jianghu"</h1>

Standing at the height of Chinese history, Jin Yong, with profound and extensive traditional cultural attainments, and combined with the spirit of modern civilization, dissolved various elements such as the massive amount of land, people, things, martial arts sects and historical events on the land of Shenzhou, and finally created a total of 15 martial arts novels such as "Flying Snow Shooting White Deer in the Sky, Laughing Book Divine Hero Leaning on Bi Duck" and "Yue Nu Sword".
If you ask Where jin Yong has the most ink, the most fierce force, and the deepest intentions, I am afraid that the answer in the hearts of most jin fans is highly unified, that is, the magical Yunnan, especially dali, a famous historical and cultural city at the foot of cangshan mountain and on the shore of the Erhai Sea.
So, in Jin Yong's martial arts world, what exactly is written about the land, people, things, martial arts sects and historical events in Yunnan? With the wonderful rafters in his hand, Jin Yong painted a picture of "Yunnan Jianghu"? Obviously, this picture is about equal to "Dali Jianghu", and the elements outside Of Dali are not in the minority, but they are far less wonderful and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people than Dali.

Jin Yong's most prestigious work, which can also be called the culmination of martial arts literature, is undoubtedly "Tianlong Babu", that is, in this work, he vividly describes the legends of Duan Zhengchun, Duan Yu's father and son, and the Dali royal family. Jin Yong even bluntly said that what was written in the Eight Parts of the Heavenly Dragon was the story of the Dali Kingdom in Yunnan during the Northern Song Dynasty.
There are few historical materials about dali and few literary works, and the only ones that have formed an influence in the world are the Eight Parts of the Heavenly Dragon.
【Genealogy of the characters of the royal family everywhere】
Duan Yu: Protagonist level, one of the three male protagonists and top masters of "Tianlong", the martial arts are mainly six-veined Excalibur and Ling Bo Microstep, initially as the shizi of Dali Guoshi, and later ascended to the throne as emperor;
Wang Yuyan: Empress Duan Yu, one of the heroines who do not play many roles, does not know martial arts, but the secret books of martial arts in the world are in her chest;
Duan Zhengchun: Heavyweight, first-class master, martial arts mainly for Yiyang Finger, Dali Zhennan Wang, Duan Yu's adoptive father, extremely affectionate and affectionate;
Duan Yanqing: Heavyweight, first-class master, major villain, prince of Dali, Duan Yu's biological father;
Dao Baifeng: Heavyweight, princess of Duan Zhengchun, who once derailed Duan Yanqing and gave birth to Duan Yu;
Duan Zhengming: sub-heavyweight, first-class master, Emperor of Dali;
Tenryuji monks: dragon set type, first-class master, mostly monks of the Dali Kingdom, former emperors or members of the imperial family;
Zhong Wanqiu: Dragon set type, second-rate master, Valley Lord of the Ten Thousand Robbery Valley, Duan Zhengchun's love enemy.
Master of One Lamp (Southern Emperor Duan Zhixing): One of the "Five Absolutes" in "The Legend of the Eagle Shooter" and "The Hero of the Divine Eagle", he was the emperor of Dali before he became a monk, not a character in the "Eight Parts of the Heavenly Dragon", but a character of dali.

It is not difficult to see that Jin Yong's Dali State has a complete political system, the people's customs are simple, and the national strength is not weak, which is completely in line with the situation of the real Dali State in history.
Compared with other regimes, including the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia, the Dali Kingdom has a very unique side: there is a Tianlong Temple where masters gather, in Dali, which worships Buddhism, this temple is a god-like existence, and it is also Dali's "Dinghai God Needle", but there is big trouble in the country, and the current emperor Duan Zhengming's first and only thing he can think of is to go to the Tianlong Temple and ask for help from master Ku Rong and other senior monks, such as Duan Yu, who was poisoned, was rescued from the Valley of Ten Thousand Disasters and sent to the Tianlong Temple.
The tenth chapter of the "Heavenly Dragon" reads: Tianlong Temple is located outside Dali City to the north of the Cangshan Mountain Peak, and the official temple is called Chongsheng Temple. However, in the book and in the mouths of the local people, it is customary to call it Tianlong Temple, and the "Six-Pulse Excalibur", which is the supreme of Dali and one of the highest martial arts in the world, is hidden here.
The martial arts of Dali Guowei and the rivers and lakes all originate from this ancient temple. The eighth part of "Tianlong" says: Duan Zhengming and Duan Zhengchun brothers are rich and noble, still often travel in micro-clothing, and when they encounter people in the martial forest who come to explore or seek revenge, they are also treated according to the rules of the martial forest, and do not put up the royal shelf.
As a martial arts sect, the Duan clan of Dali entered the entire jianghu from the imperial hall in a corner of the city. The so-called Dali Guo and Duan Sect, in today's parlance, are "two brands, a group of people" - such a phenomenon, whether in martial arts literature or in real history, is extremely rare.
In reality, Dali's Chongsheng Temple has been preserved to this day and is still full of incense. However, naturally there is no six-veined Excalibur or One Yang Finger to speak of, and chongsheng temple has always worshipped "sacred" (Buddhism) and has never been known for its force.
Outside the court, before Duan Yu matured, the long-term actual ruler of the Dali State was the "Four Evil Men". His eldest, Duan Yanqing, was a former imperial prince who had been exiled to the rivers and lakes, and he always wanted to return to the court and regain power. Because of its super combat strength, it almost succeeded.
There is also a force in the Dali State Jianghu, and Jin Yong uses this to write down the huge trouble caused to Duan Yu by Duan Zhengchun's wind and current account, that is, Duan Zhengchun's "dragon set love enemy" Zhong Wanqiu and his Valley of Ten Thousand Disasters. Although the "Heavenly Dragon" is not specified, when rescuing Duan Yu, the duan brothers' team Tianming set out, "running like the wind, not yet in the middle of the day, has reached the woods outside the Valley of Ten Thousand Disasters", which can be known in the territory of Dali.
Nowadays, Dali's city flower, camellia, has also been depicted and rendered almost to the extreme in "Tianlong". Duan Zhengchun often used it to give it to his mistress. Lady Wang, who was far away in Gusu Mantuo Mountain Villa, was one of his mistresses. Lady Wang is the mother of Wang Yuyan, and her mother is Li Qiushui, the lover of Wuxiazi.
In the cave of Dali Wuliang Mountain, when Duan Yu came to the sculpture of the young girl Li Qiushui in an adventure, the "Immortal Sister" lived in his heart forever. This also laid the groundwork for Madame Wang's persecution of him and his feelings for Wang Yuyan...

The structure and image of Dali Guo in the "Eight Parts of Heavenly Dragon" can be said to be quite complete and plump. Perhaps it is precisely because of Jin Yong's self-praise and preference for "Dali people in the past life", in addition to Dali, he wrote about many other Yunnan elements in his works such as "Tianlong" and "Heroes of the Eagle", "Legend of the Eagle Hero", "Deer DingJi" and so on, which are relatively scattered and difficult to form a system.
【Characters】 Wu Sangui, Wei Xiaobao, He Tieshou, Blue Phoenix, He Hongyao
【Sect】 Five Poison Sect, Diancang Sect, Shennong Gang, And Immeasurable Sword Sect
【Cuisine】Steam pot chicken, Xuanwei ham, bridge rice noodles, Erhai bowfish, fried centipedes, soaked wine
【Plants】Love Flower (Mandala), Dragon Girl Flower, Seven Star Begonia, Broken Intestinal Grass, Tianshan Snow Lotus
【Folk remedies】 Treat diseases with leeches sucking blood
These Yunnan elements are, of course, far from all. The characters involved are either Yunnan people or have important roles in Yunnan, although scattered and difficult to form a system, but they are unique and rich. Together with dali's Yunnan elemental system, they outline a splendid and mysterious Yunnan in the world of Jin Yong martial arts.
