A martial artist with one foot in the coffin
After years of reading and accumulation, I have divided martial arts novels into several categories.
The first type is the bloody and weird type, and the representative figure is Chen Qingyun. In this type of martial arts works, there is a lot of violence. In just a few lines, there is a fight. It is not so much a martial arts novel as it is an anti-Japanese novel.
The description of one hateful fight after another seems okay at first, but after a long time it feels boring.
The second type is the iron-blooded Jianghu type, and the representative figure is Liu Canyang. I have read a lot of Mr. Liu’s works, including "Green Dragon Yan Iron Clothes", "The Legend of Iron-Blooded Heroes", "Jade Faced Shura" and so on. I feel that Liu Canyang
The teacher's description of the grievances and grievances between Jianghu sects is very thorough, but what is slightly lacking is his expression of the characters' emotions.
The third category is the Flying Flowers Chasing the Moon type, the representative of which is Wo Longsheng. Teacher Niu, like Gu Long, is also a master of flowers. He always likes to drink flower wine when he has nothing to do. Because of his rich experience, it is reflected in his works everywhere.
It depicts the constant and chaotic emotional relationship between men and women. Although this is the most attractive part of Mr. Niu's novels, it is also his weakness. If too many descriptions of one thing are described, it will undoubtedly cause aesthetic fatigue.
The fourth category is the scholarly family type, and the representative figure is Liang Yusheng. As the founder of the new school of martial arts novels, Mr. Liang’s cultural heritage is undoubtedly the best. The most obvious thing is that in any of his novels, the title of the novel has a
The first poem is secondary. Reading his novels will give people a feeling of bookishness. If Mr. Liang didn't have a profound family foundation, how could he have a strong sense of scholarship?
The fifth category is the peak-turn transformation, represented by Gu Long and Wen Ruian. At the beginning, these two people did not take a simple and philosophical path. Gu Long initially followed Wo Longsheng, and Wen Daxia also adopted a flat path.
narrative style, but later in order to
In order to seek change, Gu Long first created a way of writing with bizarre plots and concise language, and then Wen Daxia used ism. No matter what, as two of the Four Heavenly Kings, they both made things that others could not do for the glory of martial arts novels.
I would like to pay tribute to them both for their contributions.
The sixth category is the hidden needle type, represented by Xiao Yi and Sima Ling. Personally, I think these two people have similar writing styles. Their works are not shocking in terms of story frame, narrative style, and character portrayal.
The writing is dense and long, and later on, the key points can often hit the nail on the head. In fact, I have always believed that these two people should be the masters of the generation.
The seventh category is the type that stirs people's hearts, and the representative figure is Jin Yong. Everyone is familiar with Uncle Jin, so I won't go into details here.
The eighth type of unbridled type, the representative figures are Ni Kuang and Huang Ying. Everyone knows that Ni Kuang is also called Wesley. He mainly writes science fiction novels. In fact, his martial arts novels are also very good. Not only does the primary and secondary structure work well,
And it is filled with a lot of suspense, which makes it a unique experience to read. As for Huang Ying, because he died relatively early, many people don’t know about it. In fact, this person was very talented. Our ancient university
The teacher likes romance, and when he is lazy, he wants to find someone to write for him. Apart from Sima Ziyan, the most important person is Huang Ying. Huang Ying's representative work is "The Hero Shen Shengyi". This novel, no matter the story,
Even the connotation inside is not inferior to "Chu Liuxiang". Let's talk a little more, Huang Ying is not only a good novelist, but also an outstanding screenwriter. A large part of the popular Hong Kong ghost and zombie movies were edited by him.
The ninth category is the bold and revolutionary type, and its representative is Huang Yi. I personally admire Mr. Huang Yi very much, so I won’t describe it here.
The tenth category is the type of sailing against the current. The representative characters are Harvest the World and the current martial arts colleagues. To be honest, martial arts novels have gone through more than two thousand years and have declined, especially in a world where everything is about speed.
In this novel era, this kind of written culture that represents justice is likely to disappear from people's sight unknowingly.
For those who read this post, I hope you will read less of the kind of "real guns and live ammunition" Ren fairy tales that disappear in the long river of history. Maybe this is alarmist, but calling for it early is better than reacting later. You
