Chapter 11 Talking about "Book and Sword Enmity Record"

Jin Yong's novels, a total of fourteen. Each of these fourteen novels (two of which are short stories, which can be called a novel but not a part), each has a different style and feature, and each chapter must be discussed. The following are my opinions on these fourteen novels, which are only my opinions on the novel as a whole, and the characters in the novel will be discussed in detail separately. Book Sword Enmity Record "Book Sword Enmity Record" is Jin Yong's first novel. In the first novel, there are two possible scenarios.One possibility is that the first novel is a half-baked study;

Jin Yong's situation is very different. Among Jin Yong's works, "Book, Sword, Enmity and Enmity" is of course not very good, but it is already brilliant, and its successors are even more brilliant. Among the writers in the world, there are very few such examples. "Book and Sword" is not an outstanding work among Jin Yong's works.The reasons are as follows: First, "Book and Sword" is a group play, and the protagonist is the Red Flower Society, not one or two people.The Red Flower Society has a total of fourteen masters. Although Jin Yong highlights a few of them, the appeal must be scattered, so that there is no one who is the most outstanding.

One characteristic of martial arts novels is that they are quite individual.When readers read martial arts novels, they require individual spiritual satisfaction. The stronger the color of individual heroism and the more prominent the image of the individual, the more acceptable it is. Although Jin Yong still emphasized group power until "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", among his works, only "Book and Sword" is a group play, and the rest have got rid of this point, and use one or two The characters dominate.It is possible that after Jin Yong himself created "Book and Sword", he quickly realized that this was a shortcoming.

"Book Sword" adopts the legend that Qianlong is a Han Chinese, and uses Qianlong as a character to describe the contradiction between vested power and ethnic hatred. It succeeds in expressing this idea. The main characters in "Book and Sword" are not well written, but the secondary characters are vivid and vivid, which is admirable. As the first work, Jin Yong has demonstrated his extraordinary creative talent in "The Book and Sword", with many characters and intricate plots, arranged in an orderly manner, but also in a coherent manner. At the beginning of "The Book of Swords", the relationship between Li Yuanzhi and Lu Feiqing's master-student relationship should be obviously influenced by the first paragraph of Wang Dulu's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".The brushwork also deliberately imitates traditional Chinese novels.And several times when the characters appear on the stage and their names are mentioned, it seems like "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

The skill in writing characters has also been revealed in "Book and Sword".For Jin Yong, "Book and Sword" is an attempt, and this attempt must have been extremely successful, which laid the foundation for further success in his future works. In "Book Sword", there is a passage about the conflict between Zhou Zhongying and Zhou Zhongying in Zhoujiazhuang. When it was first published, the plot was obviously taken from Western novels.After the revision and correction, completely change it.This shows that Jin Yong has gradually matured in his creative process, and is more committed to the establishment of his personal style, abandoning all external influences.

The gradual formation of this unique style is the process of Jin Yong's success. "Book Sword" is a starting point of Jin Yong's success. Among Jin Yong's works, the status and ranking of "Book and Sword" is eighth.
