Appreciation of the legendary swordsman's Works

The legendary swordsman is a martial arts novel written by Jin Yong on 1967. April 20th 1967 to June 1969 was serialized in Ming Pao. The legendary swordsman belongs to Jin Yong's later works, and its narrative has reached a state of perfection. There are countless scenes, characters and fighting scenes of various Wulin characters involved in the legendary swordsman, but they are vividly written, and the scenes change with the situation and change endlessly, all of which can fit life. The center of "the legendary swordsman" is the martial arts for power. In order to achieve the goal, he obtained the Sword Manual for Exorcising Evil and the Sunflower Collection. In the end, both factions were defeated in Sword Spectrum to ward off evil spirits and Sunflower Collection. The legendary swordsman is one of the representative works of the new school of overseas martial arts novels. It is not only fascinating with ups and downs and complicated plots, but also portrays the characters' personalities and creates dozens of vivid and touching literary images in complicated conflicts. For example, Ling Huchong, who is open-minded and unruly, sacrificed his life for righteousness; Beautiful, smart and willful Ren Yingying; Cunning and treacherous Yue Buqun; Ren Woxing, who is unruly and wily; Innocent, lovesick Lin Yi; Open-minded, gloomy and strange, "Four Friends in the South of the Yangtze River" and "Six Immortals in Peach Valley" escape from disputes and pin their feelings on their own preferences, which can add luster to the character gallery of martial arts novels. The lofty spirit of chivalry, benevolence, wealth and unyielding held high in his works still has strong appeal today.

Ni Kuang's evaluation of the loveliness of the protagonist Hu Chong is the most famous figure in Jin Yong's works. He is a little more casual than Yang Guo, a little more imposing than Wei Xiaobao, and a little more handsome than Qiao Feng.

In Jin Yong's mind, Ling Huchong is also a different person from other characters. In Jin Yong's novels, no one has ever written this person's character with so much pen and ink. Ling Huchong's character is not only reflected in his words and deeds, but also in others' evaluation of Ling Huchong. He also wrote his own personality subjectively.

Ling Huchong likes telling jokes, which shows that he doesn't take anything seriously. In Ling Huchong's view, nothing in the world can be used as a joke. The sky is falling, and it can be used as a quilt cover.

This is what Yue Buqun called Ling Huchong. Ling Huchong is a man who cares nothing. For him, there is nothing serious in the world, so why talk about it? This idea, which is regarded as frivolous by the world, is actually the most enlightened idea.

However, after reading this book, Ling Huchong didn't even use any despicable means. This is a situation worth discussing. Just because a person thinks something can be done does not necessarily mean that he will do it. What can be done and what can't be done are all constraints under the social background at that time. Some things that can never be done in a certain period have become extremely common under the change of social background, and everyone is doing it. Whether it can be done or not is a kind of constraint. For those who are unrestrained in character, it is a kind of resistance to the constraint, and you don't have to do it yourself. If you can't resist the constraints ideologically, it is an insult to human nature.

Ling Huchong didn't do anything despicable in moments of honor or disgrace. Later, in Duke of Lushan, Wei Xiaobao did something. Wei Xiaobao's behavior completely conforms to Ling Huchong's thought, but it is still criticized by readers, which is really wrong.

Yue Buqun always thought that Ling Huchong was "cunning" and Ling Huchong was scheming, but everything was true, while Yue Buqun made fakes everywhere and suddenly felt at a loss. I am cheerful and aboveboard. "I hope she can forget me cleanly. After I die, she will not shed a tear. " This is Ling Huchong's hope for Yue Lingshan. He, his lover, Yue Lingshan, is careless and heartless. But also open-minded, for the sake of each other, I would rather "have been sour in my chest." It's not that Ling Huchong can't stand it, but the normal reaction of any normal person. Love, if anyone in the world can be broken, it is not a person but a god. Therefore, Ling Huchong sometimes can't help saying, "When my chest is sore, I have no fighting spirit. Now I want to throw down my long sword and let it be slaughtered. "

Ling Huchong is not a very aggressive person. He comes and goes at will, freely, freely. He kept the fighting spirit in his heart and made himself a combative slave. Why did he come? "What is a temporary grievance?"

Ling Huchong and Wei Xiaobao have similar personalities. If they can meet, they will become inseparable friends, and every word between them can be said to each other's hearts. However, Wei Xiaobao and Ling Huchong are completely different. When writing a novel, the most difficult thing is to write two people with similar personalities, which are completely different. This is what Jin Yong did in Ling Huchong and Wei Xiaobao.

Flipping through a the legendary swordsman is not a deliberate search. There are many things about Ling Huchong's character. There is a reason why Jin Yong made a special description of Ling Huchong's character. The reason is that Ling Huchong's personality is rare. Ling Huchong is really a free and easy person, and he has achieved great success. There may be many such people in ancient society, but in today's society, there are really few. He is willful and naughty just because he doesn't want to be bound. Any bondage imposed on him will be regarded as a thorn in his side. He doesn't necessarily dislike this bondage, but if he must have it, he can't stand it. This is a typical unruly character: if you ask him to do something, he may not do it; If you don't let him do it, he will have to.

Jin Yong said in the Postscript of the legendary swordsman: "Complete and complete freedom is impossible." That's why people have desires For example, even Ling Huchong has not been completely free. All external constraints can be completely ignored, and life and death can be ignored. But what about internal constraints? In April and May this year, Jin Yong and I were in Hawaii. One day, wandering in the street, I saw an artist creating with glass in the street. There are all kinds of portraits, balance devices and so on, all of which are of high level. After a careful look, I found a work, which was reluctant at that time and was bought by Jin Yong. The title of this work of art is "Heart Prisoner". A man who looks extremely miserable and eager to be released is trapped in a net with glass. In fact, this net can't catch this person at all, and the gap is huge. This man can get out of the net at any time. But this man doesn't seem to know that he can escape from the net and struggle in it. This net comes from this person's inner restraint and is a heart net. People who don't want to be bound again can't break this net. "It is not the ability of ordinary people to get rid of all desires and gain a thorough understanding." Ling Huchong also happens to be an ordinary person, so he can't. This is the sorrow of ordinary people. No matter how big the resistance is, he can't resist himself.

Ling Huchong did her best. Ling Huchong is an outstanding man. 1. When Yue Lingshan mentioned that Lin Yuantu became a monk and later got married and had children, he said, "Heroes and heroes, teenagers became monks, not without them. Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang became a monk in Huang Jue Temple when he was a child. " Therefore, the background of the legendary swordsman should be after the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

2. At the end of Yuan Dynasty, Zhang Sanfeng was still alive, and the proud Xu Chong was Zhang Sanfeng's N disciple. It can be seen that the legendary swordsman must have happened after the Yuan Dynasty. In the twenty-third chapter of Duke Lucheng, Cheng Guan once said, "As the ancients said, when martial arts are just around the corner, the antelope hangs on the corner and there is no trace to be found. I heard that there was a lone warrior in the previous dynasty who wanted to defeat, and there was another warrior in Ling Huchong, who was invincible in the world and had no way to win. " It can be seen that Xiao Ao was born before the Qing Dynasty.

3. the legendary swordsman's Shintoism is also one of the arguments: If it was in the Qing Dynasty, why not openly call it Zoroastrianism? Moreover, Sun Moon Shintoism is obviously a Jianghu sect rather than a political organization, so there is no point in opposing the Qing Dynasty and regaining sight. The reasonable explanation is that Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor relying on the power of Zoroastrianism, but a hundred birds were born, and he began to purge the power of Zoroastrianism. Zoroastrianism was originally a Jianghu organization, so it had to be renamed as "Sun Moon Shinto", and it became more and more strange to hide the general rudder on the black wooden cliff. However, it originated in the western regions and has an extraordinary relationship with the government, so it is incompatible with the major sects in the Central Plains and has been an enemy for generations.

To sum up: Xiao Ao happened in the Ming Dynasty. 2. The upper and lower limit of age is 1, and the upper limit is: in the book Laughter, it is mentioned that the Taiji Chuanjing written by Zhang Sanfeng was taken away by the Shinto of the Sun and Moon for more than 80 years. Zhang Wuji, the protagonist of Yi, was originally from Wudang, and later served as the founder of Zoroastrianism, the predecessor of Sun Moon Shintoism. He is not only good at martial arts, but also famous in Wulin. Therefore, when Zhang Wuji was alive, Sun Moon Shinto did not dare to run wild on Wudang. When Zhang Wuji retired, he was in his early twenties. In the same year, Zhu Yuanzhang drowned in Han Liner, which was about twenty years before the establishment of the Ming Dynasty. Zhang Wuji's internal skill is so high that it is not surprising that he can live to be a hundred years old. Therefore, the day when Sun Moon Shintoism seized the scriptures was 50 years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the age of laughter must be 130 years after the founding of the People's Republic of China. In addition, in the Book of Changes, Songshan School was unknown, but in Laughter, it has become a very important school, and its development takes about one hundred years, which is consistent with the above estimation.

2. Lower limit: Huashan Sect was completely destroyed by cannibalism in laughter, but in the late Ming Dynasty, it became a sword sect stained with the blood of the royal family. Although the process of its revival has not been recorded, its outline can be known by looking closely. In the book Bi, Huashan disciples always worship Feng Zushi before learning sword. Master Feng is probably laughing at the wind. In addition, the revival of Huashan School is also due to the strength of Ling Huchong. However, once Ling Huchong became the head of Hengshan School, it would be inconvenient to be the head of Huashan School. Secondly, it has been explained that it is not convenient to play the banner of rebuilding Huashan School. Third, based on modesty, he wouldn't call himself grandpa, but his fencing is self-evident, and when rebuilding Huashan School, he naturally takes the wind as his grandfather. As for Ling Huchong's reason for accepting disciples, he is probably old and bored. He thinks quietly, and he doesn't want to lose the nine swords, so he will accept disciples for many years after he quits the Jianghu. In this way, it should have happened about forty years after Ling Huchong retired, and there was only one disciple. According to Bi, in the same year of Ming Dynasty, Huashan School held a master meeting. At that time, Yuan Chengzhi was in his twenties, about the same age as Feng Bubu and Feng Bubu, the sons of Feng Bubu. Feng's enemy master is Mu Renqing's apprentice; Calculated by 20 years of each generation, Mu is 90 years old. It is estimated that Mu joined the Huashan School in his twenties, that is, more than 70 years before the demise of the Ming Dynasty and about 2 10 years after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

So laughter occurred after the founding of the Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1368) 130 to 40 years, that is, around A.D. 1500. Third, the author's point of view "Because I want to write about some common characters and common phenomena in life, this book has no historical background, which means that similar scenes may happen in any dynasty." Since Fu Wei Guard Company destroyed the gate.

About 80 years before extinction, the inferno stole Wutangmen's Taiji biography and Taiji sword.

About 75 years before extinction, Su Yue and Cai Zifeng won the "Sunflower Collection"/were killed by the magic elders.

Main evidence:

Chapter 17, "Ling Huchong said with a smile," When I was six years old, I gambled on dice and drank with you. How did you forget? Isn't today a full 20 years of friendship? " "So Ling Huchong should be 25 when he plays.

In the fifth chapter of Healing, Ling Huchong quoted a passage: "I am an orphan without parents. Fifteen years ago, I was admitted by my tutor and my mistress. Yang Ge was only three years old at that time, and I was much older than her. I often take her out to pick wild fruits and catch rabbits. She grew up with me. Master Jenny has no son. She regards me as her son and my younger brother is my sister. " Yue Lingshan should have been 18 years old.

Chapter 1 says that Lin Pingzhi's horse was given to Lin Pingzhi 17 by her grandmother two years ago, so Lin Pingzhi's age should be 19.

In chapter 22, there is a paragraph describing "saying to Wen Tian:" The leader does not say that the young lady is a child. She is as smart as an adult. Miss was seven years old, right? She counted the number of people on the table and suddenly asked you,' Dad, why do we drink on the Dragon Boat Festival every year?' You were shocked and asked,' Why did you lose one person a year?' The young lady said,' I remember there were eleven people last year and twelve the year before last. This year, one, two, three, four, five ... we only have ten left. ""That is to say, Ren Yingying should have been 19 years old.

In the second chapter "Listening to Secrets", Lao De Nuo also said: "Yes, I am an artistic teacher. When my disciples joined Huashan School, the master elder brother had been under the teacher for twelve years." Therefore, Lao Denuo has only been a member of Huashan School for three years.
