What contribution did Jin Yong make to martial arts novels?

Jin Yong's main thing is structural innovation!

There is no doubt that Jin Yong inherited and developed Liang Yusheng's style to a great extent. However, Jin Yong is not only inferior to Liang Yusheng in historical knowledge and writing style, but also has something that the latter does not have: rich imagination and profound knowledge of China traditional culture. These have decided that he is destined to be higher than Liang Yusheng in martial arts creation. Besides, his environment is much more than lianghao's: Liang Yusheng's "New Martial Arts" makes a large number of readers focus on martial arts works.

If Jin Yong has not completely let go of his hands and feet in The Book of the Sword, then there is no trace of any old novel contaminated with royal blood in The Sword.

The characters in Jin Yong's novels are undoubtedly untrue. This kind of unreality lies not in the external image of the characters, but in their inner world. This unreality lies not in the absolute absence of their inner thoughts, but in the incompleteness of their inner world. In other words, all the characters in his works are incomplete. Jin Yong used a technique that can be said to be very difficult here. As for the reasons for this incompleteness, I will talk about it soon. It is only necessary to establish such a concept here. Guo Jing and Xiao Feng are two typical examples. It's a pity that I don't have these two books at hand and I can't quote the original explanation. It's a pity.

Jin Yong's skill in character description far exceeds that of Liang Yusheng. Similarly, people who describe unreal characters will inevitably fall into falsehood in Liang Yusheng's works, but they feel lifelike in Jin Yong's works. As I said before, Jin Yong's skill in writing untrue stories is perfect and unparalleled. This is what I admire about Jin Yong. It is difficult to describe an imaginary character as real in words. Rich knowledge, extraordinary imagination, keen observation, accurate judgment and profound literary skills are indispensable here.

I think that Jin Yong is a martial arts master who can keep pace with Gu Long, largely because of this. With this, Jin Yong was able to jump out of the category of second-rate writers, thus entering the ranks of writers and becoming the representative figure of "wild martial arts" literature. Otherwise, even if his story is ten times better than that of Longsheng Wo and Zhuge Qingyun, it is not much different from them in essence. To this end, we also want to say hello to Jin Yong.

So, how did Jin Yong do it?

Let's take a look at Gu Long's works first. In Gu Long's pen, it seems that all entities are illusory. Unreal time, unreal environment, fictional characters, fictional events, but it is in these illusory entities that we see the real soul, real personality, real feelings and pain. With these, even if the others are not ten times as real, his works are true.

Jin Yong took the opposite approach.

In Jin Yong's works, we often see real times, real historical environment, real historical figures, real historical events, real national traditions, and sometimes we can see some details of life that we are all familiar with (the legendary swordsman, Liancheng and Chivalrous Man seem to be exceptions, and I will discuss these works later). Jin Yong's rich knowledge has played an extremely important and even decisive role here. Even if others want it, it is impossible. It is easy to give people a real first impression by putting fictional characters in such a background.

This impression is important, but not enough.

Jin Yong's second job is to choose (perhaps with a more appropriate structure) the right person. A decisive criterion of this choice is that it must conform to the reader's psychology and choose the reader's heart. He is experienced, and his years of journalist work is undoubtedly a solid capital. He is good at observing and summarizing and grasping reality through essence. It is certain to choose a hero, and no one wants the hero of the novel to be a bad guy. But there are many kinds of heroes. What kind of hero do you choose? I don't think I have Jin Yong's ability, so I can't choose. What I can do is to infer his choice from the characters he chooses. He chose a national hero, which is probably related to the historical background of his conception (in fact, this historical background is necessary, as mentioned above), and may also be related to the social situation at that time (this conclusion is based on the following understanding, that is, even people who are crazy about Jin Yong now may not necessarily like the identity of this national hero, but they are very calm and calm, leaving aside the rational thinking of literature itself. Although I like Jin Yong, I feel emotionally unacceptable.

This is also one of the conclusions, but it is not the most important conclusion I got.

In 1950s, the old martial arts evolved into new martial arts in the trend of commercialization, popularization and popularization in Hong Kong and Taiwan. it

Represented by Liang Yusheng and Jin Yong, he wrote martial arts stories based on fictional history, and later there were martial arts writers in Taiwan Province Province.

Gu Long joined the team, so he called them "Three Heroes of New Martial Arts". The new martial arts novels refer to the little martial arts after the New Culture Movement.

Under the influence of new literature, the new style of vernacular Chinese began. There are many famous artists in this era, starting from Liang Yusheng.

With Jin Yong as the climax. This era is also the "Great Martial Arts Age"!

The new martial arts has a new definition of "chivalrous man". Liang Yusheng said, "The chivalrous men in the old martial arts novels belong to the eagle of the ruling class.

Dog, the chivalrous man in the new martial arts novels, is a hero who kills pests for the society; Chivalry refers to just behavior-in the interest of most people.

The behavior of profit is the behavior of chivalry. The so-called "for the country and the people, chivalry is great". "Most of the new martial arts broke through the old martial arts.

The range of themes, such as the dispute between the sword and the immortal, the dispute between sects, and the vendetta between the escort and the green forest, shows more people's resistance. emphasize

Character description, combined with Chinese and western, broke through the old martial arts novels and eliminated the ghost color of the old martial arts. the same

The personal miracle in the story is strictly limited to the "human potential".

The defect of the new martial arts lies in the chivalrous hero Superman. They jumped out of the three realms, not in the five elements, and won the world. Orfila

Chivalry lacks the depth of realism, succumbs to commercial needs, and is redundant. Stories are often routine.
