In Eight Dragons, Ding Chunqiu said, "I am from Qufu, Shandong". Why did Jin Yong do this?

Mr. Jin Yong's martial arts novels were once the youth of a generation. When I was a teenager, I was always deeply attracted by confusing stories and dazzling martial arts moves. When I grew up, I read Jin Yong's martial arts again and found an extremely exquisite place. Seems to have some antipathy to Jin Yong? Shandong people? In martial arts, the characters involving Shandong people are often villains, or Jianghu heroes who don't distinguish right from wrong, and soy sauce players with ordinary martial arts.

Ding Chunqiu is a cliff-less bard and inverse acts in Taoism. It doesn't matter who he learned from, nor how much martial arts he has. What matters is why Jin Yong set up such a person. In the original work, the election of the Wulin League Leader was presided over by Master Xuan Ci, and the Stars School also joined in. Master Xuan Ci refused to recognize the Xingxiu Sect as a Sect of the Western Regions. Ding Chunqiu stood up and said:

Jin Yong emphasized that Ding Chunqiu was from Shandong for two reasons. First, Ding Chunqiu lied that he was from Shandong in order to prove his family background, and then hooked up with Confucius, thus obtaining the qualification to compete for the title of Wulin leader. Second, Jin Yong deliberately used the corner of Ding Chunqiu to ridicule those Confucian scholars who covet hollow reputation.

What kind of ridiculous jokes do you always use in combination with the appearance mode of star schools? Stars and immortals, boundless magic, invincible; Immortal happiness lasts forever, and life is with the sky? The debut of BLACKPINK. As the hometown of saints, Shandong has made outstanding contributions to the emergence and development of Confucianism. Confucianism has been carved by later Confucian scholars, and most of the classic principles have long been divorced from the sacred will of Confucius.

Tian Ba Long Bu is also set in the Song Dynasty, which is the dynasty when Neo-Confucianism began to flourish. Jin Yong may have borrowed Ding Chunqiu's "People's Tales" to allude to a pseudo-Confucian who cheated the world and stole fame after the Song Dynasty. They have already turned their backs on the teachings of saints, and have shown their profound knowledge and stolen their reputation in the world by working hard on moral articles.

Compared with Ding Chunqiu, Yin Zhiping's character is much more noble. At least this man hasn't lost his conscience. Although he has done some excessive things to the little dragon girl, he can still face up to his mistakes and pay off his chastity debt with his life.
