In "The Swordsman", why does it spend so much space on Lin Pingzhi?

Lin Pingzhi’s joke was not because he met the junior sister, but because his family had a sword manual to ward off evil spirits. The poster’s logic was wrong, and the junior sister was here to see the joke.

Although it was a fight against injustice, he accidentally killed someone and buried the evidence, so that his enemy killed the family and gained a reputation. He studied under a teacher but did not practice martial arts diligently. When he fell in love, it was true love! At least the junior sister really gave her feelings and lived up to him until the moment she died. Everything Lin Pingzhi did was to fulfill her obsession, and she never devoted herself to focusing on improving her own abilities. What could she blame others for! Not to mention Xiao Feng's Linghu Chong and Guo Daxia, Huang Rong had to have superb cooking skills, and Guo Jing had to work hard to gain the gradual recognition of Hong Qigong. He could learn all the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, but he didn't have any correct understanding and didn't put in some effort. The great man of chivalry.

The last part is right, paranoia is the devil and affects what should be done. ?Linghu Chong was much more miserable than Lin Pingzhi. His most respected master was expelled from his sect, his closest junior brother died tragically and was misunderstood as the murderer, and he was framed for stealing the sword manual to ward off evil spirits. His favorite little junior sister found a new love, and the most caring junior sister His master's wife committed suicide and finally learned that his idol master turned out to be a very evil person. In fact, both of his parents died, and his biological parents and adoptive mother died. He was really open-minded. If it were Lin Pingzhi's situation, he would have committed suicide.

At first I thought Lin Pingzhi was the protagonist! Only halfway through the book did I realize that he was just a supporting character. If he was kind-hearted, he would probably be able to avenge himself by asking Linghu Chong to teach him his sword skills, but he lost himself.

Lin Pingzhi represents those people who are in adversity but not blessed by God. Everyone wants to be Linghu Chong, but the rules of the game are set by the big guys! In reality, more people become characters like Lin Pingzhi, who gradually lose themselves and go astray on the way to their goals! Although Lin Pingzhi is tragic, he is worth learning and emulating. The characteristic of Jin Yong's novels is that they focus on describing the growth and changes of the protagonists. The changes here are not only the changes in martial arts and status, but also the formation and changes of the characters' personalities and world views, such as Guo Jing, Yang Guo, Xu Zhu, Duan Yu, etc. .

This is different from Gu Long. Gu Long’s character is set up as soon as it appears and will not change throughout. Moreover, it is the character that Gu Long believes is the most perfect, regardless of its advantages and disadvantages. . A special feature of "Swordsman" is that Jin Yong focused the description of the protagonist's growth on the supporting character Lin Pingzhi, but used a method close to Gu Long for the protagonist Linghu Chong.

This also makes people feel that the character of Lin Pingzhi is more flesh and blood. When he goes astray, it makes people feel a sense of sympathy. Linghu Chong can be said to be the character closest to Gu Long in Jin Yong's novels. He is bohemian, heroic, affectionate, and indecisive. He has a very distinct personality with advantages and disadvantages. However, like Gu Long's protagonist, he lacks realism. feel. No wonder many people easily mistakenly thought that Lin Pingzhi was the protagonist when they first read the novel. (In fact, when Jin Yong wrote Xiao Ao, his attitude was that there was no protagonist in the whole book, or each one was a protagonist. Yue Buqun, Zuo Lengchan, etc. were all protagonists. Jin Yong’s background in writing Xiao Ao was quite special, and he aimed to use martial arts to show power and desire. The real world under the struggle, so the background of the story is deliberately downplayed and the priorities of the characters are downplayed).

Linghu Chong was not favored by God, although it seemed that he had adventures all the time. But in fact, Linghu Chong, like many successful people today, has one characteristic, that is, he is focused. For example, the master punished him to face the wall and think about his mistakes. He only discovered the secret of the back hole by focusing on facing the wall. Another example is that he went to learn the piano. It was precisely because he focused on learning the piano and did not gossip about other things that he aroused the love of Miss Ren. Another example is when he learned the Yi Jin Jing, he just focused on learning this set of kung fu. He never thought about why this kung fu was taught by Feng Qingyang, who asked the Shaolin abbot of the Six Immortals of Tao Valley to teach him. As long as he was distracted and thought about it, he would I won’t continue to learn. All his success stems from his focus.

On the other hand, Lin Pingzhi has always been multi-threaded in his work and wants to take shortcuts. Although revenge is his goal, he has never focused on revenge at all. Instead, he is smart enough to involve other things, thinking that he can complete revenge as soon as possible. The simplest example is that although the Fuwei Escort Agency was wiped out, it was not bankrupt. His grandpa is still here. Nima had money and wanted to take revenge, but he couldn't, but he relied on Yue Buqun and fell in love, which led to so many things later.

If he was as focused as Linghu Chong, instead of being accustomed to relying on others, he would not take the initiative to become his disciple when Yue Buqun appeared. Even if he became his disciple, he would not fall in love and concentrate on practicing martial arts, and he would not have any trouble. So many things. Therefore, Linghu Chong's success was not accidental, and Lin Pingzhi's failure was inevitable.
