As we all know, there are three editions of Jin Yong's wuxia series of novels, namely the serial edition that was first serialized in the newspaper, the revised edition (also called the triptych edition) published by the first revision and collection, and the new revision edition revised at the beginning of the century. Due to the two major repairs, the images of many characters in many novels are no longer the original settings, such as Madame Wang in "Tianlong Babu", which is a typical example. After two revisions, Mr. Jin Yong changed her from the first master of the Murong family to the daughter of Ding Chunqiu, and it can be said that Lady Wang's face has undergone earth-shaking changes. So why did Elder Jin want to change the original appearance of Lady Wang, Yu Lingjun personally believed that it was because of two people, one was Wang Yuyan and the other was Jiu Mozhi.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >, from the first master of the Murong family to Ding Chunqiu's daughter, the change in Lady Wang's character image is not insignificant. </h1>
In the popular version, it is also the impression of many friends, Madame Wang's name is Li Qingluo, she is not only Duan Zhengchun's lover, but also the daughter of Li Qiushui and Wuyazi. Her relationship with the Murong family was that she was Murong Fu's aunt, which meant that Murong Fu and her daughter Wang Yuyan were brothers and sisters belonging to her uncle's cousin. Moreover, everyone knows that the reason why Lady Wang hated Murong Fu was because she had a bad relationship with Murong Fu's mother (the little sister of the Wang family), and there were estrangements and conflicts between her sisters-in-law. The reason for the bad relationship between the two was that Murong Fu's mother broke the affair between Lady Wang and Duan Zhengchun, saying that she stole Hanzi. This is clearly stated in both the triptych and the newly revised novel.
Wang Yuyan's eyes rolled with tears, "My cousin is your nephew, you... Why do you hate him so much? Even if your aunt offends you, you don't have to hate your cousin. ”...... Mother Yan was in a hurry, and wanted to bring this little girl with her, but nineteen lives were in danger, and she cried: "Miss, Miss, Murong Jia's aunt said that madame stole Hanzi, saying that your grandmother is even more unorthodox..." The newly revised version of "Tianlong Babu · Twelfth Time"
Therefore, Lady Wang forbade the people of the Murong family to go to Mantuo Mountain Villa, nor did she allow Wang Yuyan to find Murong Fu, and it was in this way that Wang Yuyan would run away from home at the instigation of Duan Yu in order to find Murong Fu.
However, this was not the case in the original version, according to the serial version of the setting, Lady Wang was actually Murong Fu's aunt, that is to say, Lady Wang and Murong Fu's father Murong Bo were brothers and sisters, and Murong Fu and Wang Yuyan (the serial version was called Wang Yuyan) belonged to The GuBiao, we can call her Murong Luo. And what subverts many people's imagination is that this version of Lady Wang is also the first master of the Murong family. According to this version of the setting, the reason why Lady Wang hated Murong Fu was because he had a bad relationship with Murong Fu's father Murong Bo, and there was a gap between the brothers and sisters. The reason for the poor relationship between the two was that Lady Wang blamed his brother for his single-minded desire to restore the country and did not take martial arts to heart, so that he could not create the invincible "Murong Zong" in the world. At this point, we can see what the original text of the serial version of the novel says.
The young girl (Wang Yuyan) smiled and said, "He is my cousin." In this village, except for uncles, aunts and cousins, no one else came. Later, my uncle and my mother quarreled, and my mother did not even allow my cousin to come. ”...... Duan Yu said, "Well, your mother is your uncle's sister, he... he...... He is your uncle's son. ”...... Yu Yan bit her lower lip and said, "I know that you are suspicious of your uncle's lack of contention, and you hate that your cousin does not concentrate on learning martial arts, so that you cannot create the invincible 'Murong Zong' in the world." Madame Wang sneered, "Hey," and said, "What do children know?" I am no longer surnamed Murong. If Murong Zong didn't succeed, what did it have to do with me? Yu Yan said, "I know, you hate yourself for not being a man, otherwise you would have built 'Murong Zong' long ago, and you blame your uncle and cousin for single-mindedly wanting to 'restore the Yan Kingdom' and not taking martial arts to heart." "Serial edition of Tianlong Babu Chapter 31"
It can be seen that Lady Wang despises Murong Bo's father and son. Moreover, in this version of the novel, Wang Yuyan runs away from home to find Murong Fu not only because she thinks of him, but because she hears that Shaolin is going to deal with Murong Fu and personally go to Shaolin to save him. The reason may also subvert the impression of many friends, that is, Wang Yuyan's martial arts are still above Murong Fu, yes, Wang Yuyan knows martial arts, and he is also very powerful. Originally, Wang Yuyan wanted to ask Lady Wang to rescue Murong Fu, but Lady Wang did not agree, and Wang Yuyan ran away from home at the instigation of Duan Yu, which is why Lady Wang looked down on Murong Fu.
Lady Wang said, "Your cousin is a big man, ten years older than you, who doesn't study well all day, doesn't grow up, is crazy and doesn't know what to do, and his kung fu can't even reach you, and Murong Jia's face has also lost him." The four words 'Murong Gusu' have been a great power in the past hundred years, but what about your cousin's kung fu? Worthy or not? "Yuyan listened to her mother's words... I felt that my mother's words were not wrong, and I had no words to answer for a while. ...... Duan Yu said, "Well, Murong Gongzi is in danger... Your martial arts are stronger than your cousin's, why don't you save him yourself? "Wang Yuyan... Staring at him... After a while, he said, "I... How could I go, mom was even more disapproving. "Serial edition of Tianlong Babu Chapter 31"
Therefore, according to the setting of the serial version, Lady Wang is actually the first master of the Murong family. It was also because Mr. Jin Yong initially set her martial arts too high, so when he finally wrote that she was killed by Murong Fu, he would write that she and Duan Zhengchun were poisoned by the "Red Flower Fragrant Mist" (the triptych version began to change to "Sad crisp breeze"), without any resistance, so that Murong Fu could naturally kill her.
Since Lady Wang was Murong Bo's younger sister, she could not be Li Qiushui's daughter, and who would her mother be? In fact, although it is not explicitly stated in the serial version, it can be determined through several inferences that she is Li Qiushui's sister, the prototype of the jade statue in the Lang Huan Jade Cave Li Xiaomei. First of all, because Madame Wang and Wang Yuyan both look exactly like her, and secondly, Wang Yuyan will also "Ling Bo Micro Step" this martial art, to know that this martial arts secret is Li Xiaomei personally engraved on the bronze mirror of the jade cave, Wang Yuyan will do this martial art, combined with the first point, the only possibility is that she passed it down. According to this version of the setting, it should be that Li Xiaomei could not wait for Wuyazi in Dali, so she left Lang Huan fu and left Gusu, and then married Murong Bo's father.
Only to hear the woman (Wang Yuyan) walking around, as if there was nothing to do for a while, whispered: "That day I wanted him to learn that way footwork, he was partially unwilling to learn, if he could do 'Ling Bo micro step'..." Duan Yu heard the four words "Ling Bo micro step" and couldn't help but "ah" a sound... Serialized edition of "Tianlong Babu • Chapter 29"
It can be seen that since the revised version, Mr. Jin Yong has greatly changed the relevant settings of Madame Wang in the serial version. This is not only that, but some of the settings added by Jin Laoxin in the new revision have changed her original image dramatically. Because in the newly revised novel, Madame Wang is actually the daughter of Ding Chunqiu. Of course, it was not her own daughter, but after Li Qiushui hooked up with Ding Chunqiu, in order to hide his eyes and ears, he asked Li Qingluo to recognize Ding Chunqiu as his father. We can see what the novel says.
Madame Wang was originally the daughter of Wuyazi and Li Qiushui, and after the two of them loved this daughter, they lived together in the immeasurable mountains... But there is no cliff in the piano and chess painting and calligraphy... Since the work is extensive, it is inevitable to be alienated from Li Qiushui. Li Qiushui abducted many handsome teenagers outside into the cave... The original intention was to attract the attention of the lover to himself, but he knew that Wuyazi hated it very much and left in anger. In addition to Li Qiushui's disappointment, he even seduced Ding Chunqiu, the second disciple of Wuyazi. Ding Chunqiu suddenly attacked and knocked Wuxia off the cliff, not knowing whether he would live or die. Ding and Li then took the "Lang Huan Jade Cave" and Li Qiushui's daughter Li Qingluo to Suzhou. Li Qiushui ordered his daughter to call Ding Chunqiu her father, and Lady Wang had become accustomed to calling herself since childhood, and she did not change her mouth when she grew up. The newly revised edition of "Tianlong Babu · The Fortieth Time"
Li Qiushui
So, why did Elder Jin revise it twice, and repeatedly revise the relevant settings of the character of Madame Wang? Directly turned her from the first master of the Murong family into the daughter of Ding Chunqiu. Through the comparison of the settings of several editions of the novel, in Yu Lingjun's personal view, Jin Lao's move is entirely for two people. The first revision changed Lady Wang from the first master of the Murong family to Li Qiushui's daughter Li Qingluo for Wang Yuyan' sake; the second time changed Lady Wang to Ding Chunqiu's daughter for the sake of Jiumozhi.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > two, two major changes to Mrs. Wang, can see Mr. Jin Yong's helpless revision. </h1>
As mentioned above, Wang Yuyan (Wang Yuyan) in the serial version not only spied the world's martial arts, but also practiced a very strong martial art, and the martial arts were still above her cousin Murong Fu, and she dared to go to Shaolin to save him for her cousin. However, wang Yuyan, who was set up by such a person, after running away from home with Duan Yu from Mantuo Mountain Villa, in the subsequent journey to the rivers and lakes, she looked like a weak woman, and everywhere Duan Yu, the messenger of the flower protector, was protecting her thoroughly. Logically speaking, with the high level of her martial arts and the setting of the little fan sister of the fu official, after she found her cousin Murong Fu, she should share the worries for her cousin and join forces against the enemy. However, from the later plot, it does not. Her cousin was successively taught by Ding Chunqiu, XuanZhu and Duan Yu, and she could only obediently be a bystander and powerless, not to stand up and join hands with her cousin, which had to surprise people.
Wang Yuyan saw that her cousin's situation was critical, and her heart was full of anxiety, although she was familiar with the martial arts moves of various sects in the world, she knew nothing about these six-veined excaliburs, and could not point out, only to be anxious. Serial edition of "Tianlong Babu • Chapter 118"
Yu Lingjun personally believes that Mr. Jin Yong was absolutely helpless in his later creations, but in order to make the storyline develop, he could only ignore Wang Yuyan's martial arts. Therefore, when it comes to revision, he will abandon Wang Yuyan's original setting of martial arts, turn her into a weak woman, and in order to correspond to her new image, change her name from Wang Yuyan to Wang Yuyan. However, in order to fulfill Wang Yuyan's weakness, it was necessary to modify the relevant settings of her mother, Lady Wang. Because in the serial version, Lady Wang is the first master of the Murong family, is bent on creating "Murong Zong", because Murong Bo and Murong Fu are committed to restoring the country and do not concentrate on learning martial arts, she pins her hopes on Wang Yuyan's body, and also for Wang Yuyan to protect herself, it can be said that she is the primary factor that promotes Wang Yuyan's practice of martial arts.
Therefore, in order to make Wang Yuyan become Wang Yuyan, Elder Jin could only change the original setting of Lady Wang, turning her from the first master of the Murong family into the daughter of Li Qiushui and Wuyazi. In order to maintain the relationship between Wang Yuyan and Murong Fu's cousins, they changed from uncles to cousins, saying that Lady Wang was a cousin of the Wang family before Li Qiushui went to Western Xia, and when she grew up, she married Wang Yuyan's father (that is, Murong Fu's uncle), and Lady Wang's discord with Murong Fu's family also changed from a sibling estrangement to an unhappy sister-in-law. As for the act of turning Lady Wang into Ding Chunqiu's daughter in the new revision, it is actually to explain the source of Hatsuma Zhi's "small and no Xianggong".
Whether it is a serial version or a triptych version, the novel does not clearly explain why Hatsumo Zhi is "small and unsociable", so that before the advent of the newly revised novel, there were rumors that the King of The Great Wheel Ming had actually become Li Qiushui's little white face. Because the "small no phase gong" is Li Qiushui's housekeeping skill, coupled with Li Qiushui's once hooked up with a beautiful teenager, this makes many readers mistakenly think that this is true. It is also in order to fill this gap and explain clearly the ins and outs of why Hatsuma Zhi would "Xiao Wu Xiang Gong", Jin Lao explained this matter in the newly revised version of the novel, and it turned out that The Ming King was taking the "Xiao Wu Xiang Gong" secret in mantuo Villa.
According to the newly revised version, after Being trapped in Taihu Lake by Aju that day, He mistakenly entered the Lang Huan Jade Cave in Mantuo Mountain Villa, and then secretly heard the conversation between Madame Wang and Ding Chunqiu about "Xiao Wu Xiang Gong", and then waited for Ding Chunqiu to leave and then went along with the secret. It was only because the eight volumes of secrets were taken away by Ding Chunqiu, and Hatsuma Zhi was not complete in his training, which also laid the foundation for his subsequent misdeeds. However, when writing the secret of "Xiao Wu Xiang Gong", why did he let Lady Wang recognize Ding Chunqiu as his father? There are two reasons for this. The first is to explain why The Lang Huan Yudong has the secret of "Xiao Wu Xiang Gong", and the second is that because the martial arts of Lady Wang mentioned earlier have been reduced, she can never understand the secret of "Xiao Wu Xiang Gong", in order to let Ji Mo Zhi secretly obtain the secret place, she can only borrow Ding Chunqiu's mouth, but in order for this to succeed, she can only make Lady Wang recognize Ding Chunqiu, who is infected with Li Qiushui, as her father.
Madame Wang walked over to the old man and said, "Father, are you practicing 'Little Wu Xiang Gong' again?" You take all these books, anyway, you and your mother took them, and you can't point them out, and you can't understand them. "The newly revised edition of "Tianlong Babu · The Fortieth Time"
It's just that although Jin Lao filled in this gap and explained the source of Hatsumo Zhi's "Little Wu Xiang Gong", it made Madame Wang's image change fundamentally again, and it should be known that Ding Chunqiu was a recognized great demon in the martial forest. Moreover, since Lady Wang recognized Ding Chunqiu as her father, why did Wang Yuyan never recognize Ding Chunqiu as her grandfather? This is a new unsolved mystery. It can be seen that in fact, for the modification of the relevant settings of the character of Madame Wang, Jin Lao is quite helpless, and from his two major changes to this character, it can be seen that he has to modify the original face of the supporting role in order to take care of the overall framework and main line settings. Fortunately, he was successful in changing Lady Wang for Wang Yuyan, after all, Wang Yuyan's new image was more easily accepted by readers; and because King Ming made Li Qingluo recognize Ding Chunqiu as his father, although it was difficult to accept, it made the reason why Hatsuma Zhi was caught in the fire was clearer. Overall, the two major reforms have their necessity.
