Eight Features and Five Features of Gu Long's Novels —— Ye Shengsheng

Eight characteristics and advantages

First, the vision is broad

I agree with the statement that there was no new school before Gu Long's novels. Gu Long's novels are truly new-school martial arts novels, which are innovative in form, completely get rid of the shackles of China's traditional stale thoughts in creative vision, and attach importance to the contradictory struggle of human nature. I think all the martial arts novels before Gu Long are inseparable from the Confucian sky, but Tin Sang Lung has modern thinking, which combines western and Lao Zi's thoughts. Gu Long's novels can be epoch-making, I insist.

2. Story attraction

(1) suspense style

For example, "White Jade Tiger" has an attractive suspense from the beginning.

(2) Absurd style

For example, in Blood Parrot, the legend of 100,000 ghosts and 100,000 drops of blood is frightening.

(3) grand style

For example, the large-scale war between the old man and Wan in meteor butterfly sword and the application of psychological tactics.

(4) the game of wisdom

For example, Jiang Xiaoyu has solved nearly a hundred problems and crises, large and small.

(5) Experiential type

For example, in "The Sword of the Third Young Master", a set of "thirteen swords to kill" propped up the whole story.

(6) Romantic style

For example, the ruthless sword of a passionate swordsman has developed from a love story to a crisscross story.

(7) Metonymy

For example, Xiao Yilang, a whole set of novels enveloped the wolf's life.

(8) Atmospheric types

For example, the desert amorous feelings of the border town in The Wandering Son of the Border Town and the cold, wet, dark and cold environment from Fu Hongxue all create a shocking feeling effect.

(9) Weapon style

For example, there are very few swordsmen who specialize in practicing pike in "Game-writing protocol and silver gun washing".

(10) detective style

For example, The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng is a series of martial arts detectives, which created a new style of martial arts.

3. Unique style

(1) Poetry Writing

For example, Tianya Yueming Dao is a thoroughly poetic novel, which can be called a pioneer work and has a great influence on later generations.

(2) arrangement of short sentences

Reading every novel in the later period gives people a neat pleasure.

(3) Europeanization of language

Gu Long was deeply influenced by European novels.

(4) write epigrams.

Gu Long's aphorisms are within reach. When you try to imitate Gu Long and write a series of life maxims, you will know that it is not easy.

Fourth, literary talent is flying.

Gu Long can often portray the characters vividly in a few words, and his unique language style has attracted many descendants to imitate him.

5. Outstanding thinking

The theme expressed in Gu Long's novels advocates the realm of freedom and openness, and has an anti-traditional attempt. The unique handling of moves has made Gu Long's taste soar for several levels. Gu Long has turned the battle into a confrontation between psychology and cultivation, which is enough to make all new martial arts novel writers feel ashamed. Think about it, how much Gu Long has done, and promoted the "fighting and killing" of the warriors to the confrontation of ideas.

6. Intelligent Superman

Gu Long's dialogue is the most humorous. In this respect, it can be said with certainty that Gu Long is the first person in the field of martial arts novels. The dialogue between Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua in Chu Liuxiang is simply a wonderful humor prize in turn, and the dialogue between Jiang Xiaoyu and Su Ying in A Family of Two Pride is also superb, while The Happy Hero is a joke in life. Only a really smart and open-minded person can write such a wonderful and humorous dialogue.

Seven. experienced

The characters in Gu Long's works are various and lifelike, and all walks of life, such as casinos and wineries, have unique vitality, which shows that Gu Long is well informed.

Eight. Dare to pick difficulties

Gu Long sometimes deliberately embarrassed himself. In "tell it to the judge", Gu Long spent a lot of pen and ink to describe how a Jianghu person makes a living, even writing carelessly, knowing that the more trivial things are, the more difficult it is to write. But in Gu Long's works, it is humorous and wonderful. In "Big Man", Tian Sisi is a naive girl who has just entered the Jianghu. Gu Long wrote in more than 10,000 words that Tian Sisi was cheated by charlatans for seven or eight times, which was natural and smooth, without affectation.

Five outstanding shortcomings

One. Too many smart people.

This is a shortcoming that few people know how to mention in Gu Long's novels. The characters in each of Gu Long's novels are full of smart people, not only too many, but also similar smart people. Gu Long is an extremely clever man, but he has to show his cleverness everywhere, which makes his novels too sharp and lacks a kind of wisdom for collection. All novels are not necessarily written with intelligence.

2. Sometimes it's too deliberate

"Seven kinds of weapons" is Gu Long's deliberate work, and seven kinds of weapons can match seven kinds of will or mentality. Because all seven stories are short stories, there are no strange twists and turns in the stories, which failed to make people feel shocked. But it has to be hastily matched, giving people a sense of haste and stubbornness. I don't think Seven Swords is a good work. This is the masterpiece of Gu Long's Urgent Chapter.

3. There are duplicate figures

From the later works of Gu Long, it is obvious that Gu Long is tired. Although his writing style still exists, his stories and characters have failed creatively. Especially in terms of characters, many supporting roles are self-consent. Let's just say. In fact, Gu Long has created many outstanding and unique figures, ranking first in the whole line in terms of quantity. This must be made clear first. But he pushed himself too hard, and new works emerged one after another. At the critical moment, he just needs to repeat them. This is indeed a tragedy. Therefore, it is my painstaking effort to summarize the essence of Gu Long's novels in the form of "Top Ten", not all because I want to express novelty.

4. Sometimes it's too laissez-faire.

Gu Long's novels are full of freedom and dare to break through the tradition, but sometimes they are too laissez-faire, which destroys the overall level of novels. For example, Rebirth in Chu Liuxiang is a mistake of Gu Long, which pulls open the main line of the novel for no reason, leaving readers confused.

There is too much discrimination against women.

Gu Long is a male chauvinist and rarely describes the great side of women. In this respect, I don't think he has anything to do with Gu Long's ability, but his natural prejudice and negligence in character. But he seems to be self-aware and disdainful of arguing, so this issue will inevitably sublimate into a confrontation of personal freedom, and I don't want to elaborate here.
