Gu Long is not a martial arts novel writer in the traditional sense. In his novels, especially in the middle and late period, the concept and practice of pure literature are integrated, and the literary creation of martial arts, reasoning, suspense, romance and other types is integrated with the writing of human nature and society, thus achieving a unique atmosphere and comprehensive breakthrough creativity.
Part I: Happy Heroes
Who says heroes are painful? Our hero is happy.
Gu Long pointed out the main tone for the novel from beginning to end, and it runs through the structure of the whole novel.
The popularity of this novel seems small, but the artistic level and aesthetic value of this novel can definitely be called the peak work of Gu Long in his later period, and it is also a fruitful work of Gu Long in innovation and breakthrough.
The second part: the ruthless sword of passionate swordsman.
This is one of the martial arts novels admired by the Chinese-speaking world, and it is also the work of Gu Long to establish his hegemony in the Jianghu.

Without this novel, Gu Long's martial arts world is not only incomplete, but also lacking too much. This work is also the pioneering work of Xiao Li's flying knife series, and its appearance is the peak.
Relatively speaking, although Jin Yong's martial arts concept is broad, it is extremely idealistic, serving the country for the people and being a chivalrous man. Gu Long's martial arts concept is more realistic and closer to people's life. The chivalrous man's pursuit of human justice, human justice, freedom of mind and openness of life in his works will undoubtedly touch people's hearts and trigger * * *.
Part III: Chu Liuxiang Series.
This series created the first myth of Gu Long's martial arts. Since then, Jianghu is no longer the traditional way for chivalrous men to command the world, and Wulin is no longer an endless situation of love and hate between home and country.
When Chu Liuxiang came out, he immediately eclipsed the Jianghu, which undoubtedly rewrote the structural trend and narrative style of the Wulin myth. The prodigal son, the ranger, the detective and the thief, four completely different character experiences began to magically reconcile, giving readers a typological substitute that was amazing at first and then addicted, and became the first in the moment.
Part IV: Seven kinds of weapons
Gu Long is good at the structure of novellas, but neglects the control of novels. This kind of questioning voice actually comes from the seven weapons series.
This series fully shows the magic of Gu Long's brushwork, and also fully shows Gu Long's excavation and polishing of human nature to a superb level.
The series of "seven weapons" is not complete, and what the seventh weapon is is still controversial until now, so it is difficult to draw a conclusion. Everlasting Sword, jasper knife, Overlord Gun, Passion Ring, parting hook, Peacock Feather, every story is a fable, and every weapon represents a kind of humanity and a kind of spirit.
Part V: Legend of Lu Xiaofeng.
Chu Liuxiang is a myth, but Lu Xiaofeng is our friend.
Lu Xiaofeng's image is by no means outstanding in the world of mortals, but it is precisely because of this that he has the temperature that ordinary people yearn for and the thickness of the same kind that ordinary people refer to.
The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng is also a collection of martial arts novellas, which further confirms the statement that Gu Long is not good at writing long stories, but this does not prevent this work from being brilliant and refined, nor does it prevent this work from being deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Part VI: The Legend of the Banner Hero.
This novel also has a name, called "Iron and Blood Banner". The hero is Tie Gu Long's hero. This figure plays a decisive role and is the most traditional figure, leading an era after Gu Long began his new exploration.
In Gu Long's early works, he tried to be modest, but he still walked carefully on the road initiated by Jin Yong. Strictly speaking, iron has the climate of chivalrous men in Jin Yong's works. Of course, compared with Feng Xiao and Guo Jing, there is still a big gap in serving the country and the people.
Part VII: "Double Pride"
This novel is definitely a martial arts masterpiece, with the fate of a pair of twin brothers as the main line, and its structure has become a grand scale of nearly one million.
In this novel, the language system of traditional martial arts novels is gradually broken, and Gu Long's unique structural model is emerging. The first sentence at the beginning is amazing, completely rewriting the layout style and expression form of the old martial arts novels.
Part VIII: Tianya Yueming Dao
This novel was cut in the middle of the series and became a case that Gu Long never forgets. If Chu Yuan's film of the same name is not a great success, it is uncertain whether this work will become famous.
This novel can also be regarded as one of Xiao Li's flying knife series, but compared with the ruthless sword of the passionate swordsman, the eagle flying in September and the prodigal son in the border town, the overall style of this novel is very gloomy and depressing.
Part IX: Little Shi Lang.
This novel is said to have a screenplay before a novel, but it is a work that reflects deep loneliness and pays tribute to the world famous book The Call of the Wild.
Xiao is also a sad prodigal son, but also a lonely river and lake. Compared with, his disappointment with human beings and his resistance to rivers and lakes show a little strong despair.
Part 10: meteor butterfly sword
The originality of this novel is obviously influenced by the film The Godfather, and it can even be said that this novel is an imitation of the film The Godfather.
After reading this novel, I finally understand the truth that your greatest enemy is always your friend.
Perhaps, at that time, Gu Long, who gradually entered the bleak period of life, no longer believed in love, and even no longer believed in his high hopes of friendship.
Gu Long's novels can be said that writing friendship is always more exciting than writing love. But this novel makes people feel afraid of friendship.
