On the artistic features of the chivalrous case-solving novel Three Chivalrous Men and Five Righteousness.

The chivalrous novel Three Heroes and Five Righteousness, which was created by Shi Yukun, a famous folk artist in Qing Dynasty, and polished by later writers, has been widely circulated for a long time and has far-reaching influence. People in the late Qing Dynasty said that it was "a masterpiece of martial arts, full of lofty sentiments and great momentum" ... It should be appreciated by scholars, and its power to stimulate society has not declined. "

"Three Heroes and Five Righteousness" is artistically, as Mr. Lu Xun pointed out: "Writing heroes in the wild is full of vitality, occasionally lining the world, mixed with humor, and it also makes fools particularly colorful." "Painting sounds are very common."

"Three Heroes and Five Righteousness" is unique in the description of characters. The chivalrous men in the book, though slightly like lofty sentiments, have different personalities, including Fang Lu's frankness, Pingjiang's wit and humor, Xu Qing's frankness and recklessness, Zhan Zhao's shrewdness, Ou Yangchun's lofty aspirations, the charm of smart elves and Ai Hu's innocence. Among them, Bai Yutang is a prominent and profound image. He is open-minded, dignified and full of rebellious personality, making a scene in Tokyo, with a certain contempt for feudal legal rights. But he was proud, willful, arrogant and aggressive, and finally died in the copper net array. The author regards him as a failed hero, which embodies a rare aesthetic consciousness of tragedy.

Another most important feature is the habit of "speaking in simple English". This is manifested in the structure, although the twists and turns are bizarre and there is no sense of growth; Expressed in words, it is lively and full of artistic characteristics of folk storytelling. Ask the bamboo master to praise: "The narrative of the narrator can be vividly portrayed, and the seams are ingenious and seamless." Yu Yue also said that his "description is both implicit and implicit, but also full of twists and turns". Therefore, "only this kind of pen and ink can write Pinghua novels, which is another kind of pen and ink between heaven and earth." These comments are well-deserved in Three Heroes and Five Righteousnesses.
