The scene in this picture is different. Perhaps it was Zhang Wuji's fearlessness in the face of six sects' encirclement and suppression on the top of Guangming, perhaps Xiao Feng, Xu Zhu and Duan Yu's high spirits in the face of strong enemies on Shaoshi Mountain, or perhaps Guo Jing and Huang Rong's impassioned outside Xiangyang City.
Or perhaps, people think of the condor heroes who have disappeared from the rivers and lakes, Ling Huchong and Ren Yingying in the legendary swordsman, and even Wei Xiaobao, who is at ease and kills people. ...
Jin Yong, who broke through the world with the "worst" martial arts novels in the history of contemporary literature in China, became one of the greatest novelists in China. Even he himself said that his life was too complicated, with too many experiences and too many secrets. Such talents are the real "legends".
Prominent family background: a loyal and honest heirloom, a collection of poems inherited from Jin Yong, whose real name is Cha, from Haining, Zhejiang. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, Cha moved from Wuyuan, Anhui Province to Haining to avoid disasters, and has since settled down. After Yuan and Ming Dynasties, he became a famous local family in Qing Dynasty.
Especially in the ruling period, Haining's Cha was full of talented people, and there was a legend that "one scholar is ten, one uncle is five academicians". This ancient family, handed down by scholars, has since emerged countless shining figures in the history of China.
If we take Jin Yong himself as the center, we can probably draw a small map of China's modern legend: naturally, he doesn't have to say much; His uncle Ji Min was a famous patriotic industrialist in modern China, and later moved to Hongkong with Jin Yong.
The "double inspection scheme" jointly proposed by them on the election of the Chief Executive of Hong Kong has been written into the Basic Law of Hong Kong, which shows their great influence. His brother Cha Liang Zheng is a famous translator and poet in modern times, and his translation of Selected Works of Pushkin has a great influence in China.
The famous poet Xu Zhimo is Jin Yong's big cousin. This young and famous poet is far from Jin Yong's age, but Jin Yong probably doesn't like him and writes him in the novel. Xu Zhimo used the pseudonym "Yun Zhonghe" in his early years, and Jin Yong embezzled it as one of the "Four Evil Men" in his novel Eight Dragons.
Interestingly, Jin Yong's "cousins" don't seem to be very positive figures. I wonder if he did it on purpose. Cha Pinzhen, the original wife of Jiang Baili, a famous military theorist, is Jin Yong's cousin.
Therefore, Jiang Baili is Jin Yong's uncle, and his daughter Jiang Ying and son-in-law Qian Xuesen are Jin Yong's cousins and brothers-in-law. Jiang Ying was born in Jiang Baili's stepfamily. Although there is no blood relationship between them, the relationship between the two families has always been very harmonious.
When Qian Xuesen and his wife went to Hong Kong, Jin Yong received them many times. Qian Hejiang also bought a whole set of Jin Yong's novels, full of praise for Jin Yong. Qiong Yao, a famous romantic writer in Taiwan Province, is Jin Yong's cousin. Although this relationship is far away, Aunt Qiong Yao is very grateful for it. She once said that the role of "Little Swallow" in Princess Zhu Huan was largely inspired by Jin Yong.
Such a huge and splendid family has brought a good cultural accumulation to Jin Yong. His grandfather and father were local officials, and they made many friends. Mao Dun, a famous writer, is a classmate of Jin Yong's father. Jin Yong visited him when he was a teenager.
Road of Martial Arts: For the country and the people, the greatest knight-errant is 1952. There was a dispute between Taiji Gate and Baihemen in Hong Kong Martial Arts School. Not convinced by each other, the two sides agreed to fight in Macao. This move caused a great sensation in Hong Kong, and major newspapers rushed to report it.
At that time, Chen, a reporter of Ta Kung Pao, was entrusted by the newspaper to create a martial arts novel "Long Hudou Jinghua" based on it to attract readers.
This novel is regarded as the pioneering work of China's new martial arts novels, and Chen's pen name "Liang Yusheng" has since been hailed as the originator of China's new martial arts novels. And his colleague Cha, at the suggestion of Liang Yusheng, started his creation of martial arts novels.
1955, he finished his first martial arts novel The Book of the Sword. In this article, Chen Jialuo became famous as a teenager, and his love tragedy with Huo Qingtong and Princess Xiangxiang was poignant and touching, while Jin Yong skillfully combined the story with the mystery of the life experience of the Heaven and Earth Society in the Qing Dynasty and Kangxi period, and wrote a thrilling martial arts group portrait.
Although as Jin Yong's first novel, its content and characterization were not mature enough, it caused a sensation as soon as it was published at that time, and the name "Jin Yong" soon became a household name.
Subsequently, Jin Yong serialized 14 martial arts novels in the newspaper with an average efficiency of one to two years. Coupled with Yueniang's short and medium-length sword, one * * * becomes fifteen. 1972 With the end of the novel Duke of Lushan, Jin Yong officially announced the closure of the pen.
Works 15, retouched and published, adapted into film and television works from 1980. In just over ten years, they quickly swept the country and spread to the global Chinese cultural circle.
Fans wrote a 14-character Tibetan couplet for him, "Flying Snow Shoots the White Deer Plain, Laughing at the Magic Man Leaning in the Garden", to describe Jin Yong's fourteen works.
As for the influence of Jin Yong's novels, someone gave a more accurate description: where there are Chinese in the world, no one does not know Jin Yong's name. Jin Yong used his words to build a martial arts world that exists in the hearts of all Chinese people.
The so-called "four martial arts masters", that is, "bronze inscriptions", actually have their own characteristics. The chivalrous men in Gu Long's novels are mostly one person with only two or three confidants. They have beautiful women and wine, but they never have a real home. This is an extremely romantic world.
Most of the chivalrous men in Wen Ruian's works walk alone in the world. Faced with all kinds of sinister and bizarre things in the world, rivers and lakes are like travelers, and everyone just rushes by. This is an extremely thrilling world.
Jin Yong, on the other hand, is good at integrating history into stories, and the emotions of the characters are extremely real, warm and sad. The real hero in Jin Yong's works is not for fame or profit. What they do is for the integrity of men and the protection of the country and people.
As Guo Jing said, "Serving the country and benefiting the people, the chivalrous person is also the greatest", which is the core of "chivalrous spirit" in Jin Yong's novels. Because of this, Jin Yong's novels have aroused a sense of identity with Chinese traditional virtues in every China, which is also an important reason why his works are widely circulated.
Sudden death: make a scene and leave quietly. In recent years, Jin Yong and his works have been listed as "the most valuable/influential masters or works", juxtaposed with Lu Xun, Shen Congwen and Ba Jin, and even surpassed Mao Dun for a time.
For this ranking, there are two diametrically opposite voices among the people: one thinks that Jin Yong and the martial arts novels he represents can only be regarded as a branch of popular literature. After all, it is different from mainstream literature and it is difficult to be elegant.
Another voice says that good literature can be loved and supported by the broad masses of the people, while Jin Yong's novels convey the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation and highlight the profound national history, which should be praised.
In this regard, Mr. Jin Yong just smiled indifferently in an interview. He explained that he was just an ordinary person, and of course he was happy to be liked by everyone, but Mao Dun was his elder, and he couldn't compare with his elders.
This statement may contain modesty, but it is not difficult to see that Jin Yong's understanding of himself is sober and low-key, and his words and deeds are full of everyone's demeanor.
After decades of influence, Jin Yong's novels have become a very distinctive symbol in China culture. The public's love for Jin Yong and his martial arts novels has gradually spawned a group of scholars who specialize in Jin Yong's novels.
Perhaps it is not as profound as Four Great Classical Novels after all, but through the study of martial arts novels, we can still get a glimpse of the spiritual core of the Chinese nation and have a deeper understanding of Jin Yong.
Many people tried to write a book for Mr. Jin Yong, but Jin Yong himself declined one by one. He said, "My life is too complicated, I have experienced too many things and too many secrets, so I am not suitable for writing and biography."
It is this character that he upholds, doing things with high profile and keeping a low profile. Someone once asked him how he lived his life. Mr. Jin Yong smiled and said the famous eight words:
"Make a scene and leave quietly."
20 18 10 year 10 30, Jin Yong, a world-renowned literary master, died at the age of 94. His achievements before his death were comparable to those of China's top literary masters, but he kept a low profile for decades until his death.
It can be said that his life is a true portrayal of the above eight words. His life left such a precious spiritual wealth to the people of China that after his death, people continued to express their opinions on his life and works with infinite feelings for a long time.
In "The Condor Heroes", Cheng Ying once said to Lu Wushuang: "Look at these white clouds, gathering and scattering, scattering and gathering, and life is on and off." Life is like this, so are rivers and lakes. Jin Yong's pleasure, kindness and enmity are the heroic feelings of having fun when meeting and turning around when leaving.
Everyone who loves Jin Yong's martial arts will certainly learn some meaning and truth from it. Only in this way can we live a wonderful life without regrets.
The deceased has been dead for a long time. In the process of remembering Mr. Jin Yong, if we can remember this passage written by Mr. Jin Yong, we may really be able to let go of our melancholy and move on with our admiration for the old gentleman and love for our works. The mountain is high and the water is long, and the gentleman is already there; All roads lead to the same goal, and we will meet again.
