A comparison of the roles of "demon girl" written by Jin Yong and Liang Yusheng
With the popularity of the TV series "The Legend of the Witch with White Hair", martial arts literature has appeared in people's field of vision again. The three masters of the new school of martial arts novels are Jin Yong , Gu Long and Liang Yusheng , I believe no one will object. Gu Long's novels are too different, the characters are too mysterious, the rhythm is too jumpy, and the writing style is too far from the other two writers to be compared. As far as Jin Yong and Liang Yusheng are concerned, they have created many female images in their works. Whether the protagonist or not, they are all three-dimensional and full of personality. I personally think that among the many female images, Jin Yong's Zhao Min and Liang Yusheng's Lian Nishang are the most classic ones. Let's briefly analyze the similarities and differences between these two women.
One is beauty. Jin Yong wrote Zhao Min like this: Wearing a sapphire blue silk shirt and shaking a folding fan, he couldn't hide his graceful and luxurious air. I saw that his appearance was unusually beautiful, his eyes were black and white, and his eyes were bright. This Mongolian county lord is undoubtedly the most beautiful woman disguised as a man in the golden book. Her appearance made the whole " Eternal Dragon Slayer " suddenly brightened. It is really meticulous in every sentence, every word is drawn in line, lively, and interesting beyond words. Compared with Jin Yong, Liang Yusheng's description of the characters is slightly inferior. He has always written very little about the appearance of women. Even if it is a peerless beauty, Liang Yusheng only has a few words: Separate left and right, hold each other. A girl as beautiful as a fairy, with an apricot-yellow shirt, a white ling girded around her waist, autumn water as a god, long eyebrows penetrating her temples, walking step by step with a smile on her face. The group of thieves in the hall were dumbfounded, and some of them were even more ashen-faced, shivering in a corner, not daring to move (the first episode of "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch"). Although there are not many direct descriptions of Lian Nishang, it is also shocking to express the appearance of Lian Nishang by writing the reactions of others. It is this unusually beautiful face that is the external reason that makes a simple and pure visual animal like a man fall in love at first sight, and it is also the source of the male protagonists with famous and decent blood who can overcome difficulties, go through fire and water, fight against masters and common sense of social ethics. One of the driving forces.
The second is smart. Wisdom is indeed awe-inspiring, and the intelligence value exceeding the standard IQ will lead to the incomprehension of the general public, and there is a tendency to demonize in people's minds. With his own ingenuity, Zhao Min is like a duck to water in the rivers and lakes, asking for anything, and has even penetrated into the political and military levels. It can be said that Zhao Min is no longer a woman's little cleverness, but has reached the great wisdom that many men can't match. realm. Lian Nishang was raised by a she-wolf, and she is naturally inferior to Zhao Min in terms of knowledge and learning. She is an extremely complex individual, but she also has a beast-like intuition of seeing the essence through phenomena. Therefore, they are envied and hated by others, because they are not traditional women who follow the rules and are courteous and humble. They compete in the world of men, and they are actually better than men, so they all carry the infamy of "demon girls" .
The third is direct. The "demon girls" often grew up under an extremely closed or extremely open education. Zhao Min grew up in a palace and traveled around to make friends with strangers. She inherited the hearty and unrestrained nature of the nomads. Therefore, she will directly ask Zhang Wuji who is beautiful between her and Zhou Zhiruo, she will make no secret of her doubts about Xiao Zhao, she will reveal her love for Zhang Wuji in public, and she will playfully say "I was originally A little witch, sinister and vicious, what about you?" Such a straightforward and frank woman, Zhao Min's heart was as clear as water. And Lian Nishang was bred by a mother wolf, and later adopted by her master, it is purely "stocking". They are not the standard of education, so they have never walked the ordinary road from beginning to end, and their style is daring to love and hate. Rare things are precious. The male protagonists are used to seeing women with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes. After seeing them, they will be attracted by their vividness, so they will sink and be unable to extricate themselves.
Zhao Min and Lian Nishang have many similarities and also many differences, so that their final endings are completely different.
The first is that they grew up in different environments. Zhao Min was born in the royal palace of ethnic minorities, and is a distinguished county lord. Her father's status is prominent, and she is deeply loved by her father. Her father loves her even more than her brother. Zhao Min is the most important person in the palace. She needs wind and rain, attracts much attention and love, so her character is very positive, sunny, healthy and bright. Moreover, she grew up in an environment full of men. Her father's parenting method is no different from that of raising boys, which also determines that Zhao Min's character has a masculine side. And Lian Nishang is different. Lian Nishang is an orphan abandoned by his mother's dead father and raised by a mother wolf, which determines that Lian Nishang's personality has a cold, cruel and violent wolf side. In addition, she was adopted by Ling Muhua. Ling Muhua is an extreme feminist, so Lian Nishang has been influenced by her master for a long time, which determines that there is a feminine and extremely expansive side in her character, and eventually develops stubbornness and arrogance. , extreme character. The growth environment directly determines the development of the character, so Meng's mother will move three times. Zhao Min and Lian Nishang have different backgrounds, and the growth environment is completely different, which leads to the difference in the final character development of the two.
The second is the difference in the cultural level of the two. Zhao Min is the head of the Mongolian county. She has a superior background and is the jewel of her father's palm. Therefore, she has read a lot of books since she was a child, and reading can make people wise. She has the cultural heritage and wisdom of Han women, and she lacks the shackles of Han women. So she fully understands when to advance, when to retreat, when to be firm, when to be soft, what to pursue, what to stop, what to want, and how to get what you want of. Zhang Wuji misunderstood her and hurt her again and again, but after the truth came out, not only did she not hold on to Zhang Wuji's fault, but she forgave him generously, making Zhang Wuji feel ashamed, remorseful, and ashamed, and thus fell in love even more. she. After Lian Nishang was raised by a wolf, she was adopted by her master and taught martial arts. From the process of her learning martial arts, it can be seen that she is talented and talented, and her IQ is not lower than Zhao Min. But unfortunately, her educational level is not high, so she is destined to think about problems as well as Zhao Min; Lian Nishang only knows how to advance but not retreat, only knows how to be firm and not soft, she can't understand Zhuo Yihang's dilemma, and she can't be tolerant Zhuo Yihang hesitated, she knew what she wanted, but she didn't know how to get what she wanted; so she would rush to Wudang and hurt Zhuo Yihang's classmate, forcing Zhuo Yihang to shoot She, when Zhuo Yihang finally made up his mind to abandon everything and fly with her, she was unwilling to give each other a step down, which eventually led to the pair of men and women looking from north to south on the top of the snow-capped and cold Tianshan Mountains. So far away! One with beauties and white hair, the other who waited all his life, and could not be together until his death, wasting a lifetime of good years in vain.
Finally, the two have different personalities. This is also the fundamental reason for the difference in their final outcome. Zhao Min's character is quite masculine. She has a grand ambition and a peerless appearance. She can be called a Zhuge among women. At a young age, she leads a group of strange people, roaming the rivers and lakes, helping her father to quell the rebellion, arrest the six major factions, and destroy the Ming Sect. She can be on her own and does not allow men. If she hadn't met Zhang Wuji, I'm afraid she would have done it long ago. No wonder King Ruyang's three hatreds include: "I only hate Minmin for being a daughter!" affim. However, Zhao Min's love path has always been full of thorns and blood. The dignified Mongolian county owner, with golden branches and jade leaves, has a distinguished status, but fell in love with the enemy Zhang Wuji. In front of Zhao Min, there is a ditch between righteousness and evil, a ravage of family and country. She is not "bad", but has a different position; aside from ethnic hatred , it is difficult to deal with only rivals in love: Zhiruo's beautiful and charming, Xiaozhao's tender feelings, and Zhu'er's deep and righteousness, none of them should be taken lightly. Nationality, position and secular criticism, Zhao Min is the one with the worst congenital conditions. But she is stubborn and will never admit defeat. "I want to be reluctant." A word that sounded a little wayward was also her uniqueness. In her world, there is no point of view of "letting you go if you love you", so she will not surrender Zhang Wuji, even if he is misunderstood and humiliated by Zhang Wuji. At the wedding hall in Haozhou City, the two daughters fought for their husbands, blood splashed in Huatang, and they just snatched Wuji back from Zhou Zhiruo's hands. And she also has a trait that ordinary women don't have: she can stretch and bend like a man. After Zhou Zhiruo killed Yin Li, she put the blame on Zhao Min. Zhao Min didn't care about her injustice. She could bear the grievance, search for the real murderer, and wait for the day when the truth was revealed. It was precisely this trait that made Zhao Min be the final winner. Lian Nishang is different, although Lian Nishang is also frank and bold, but she is an orphan, with big breasts from a female wolf, she has the wild nature of a wolf, and it is easy to go to extremes in life. As soon as she came up, she robbed the family of Zhuo Yihang, a descendant of the officials and the leader of Wudang. She was a drama thief in southern Shaanxi. She was the devil in the eyes of the world. The height of her martial arts is unbelievable, and her methods are ruthless and frightening. However, she is also a girl who is as beautiful as a fairy, and she is called "Jade Rakshasa" in the rivers and lakes; "Rakshasa" refers to Buddhism in Buddhism. The evil spirit that eats human flesh shows her murderous and demonic aura. The prefix "jade" for "Rakshasa" naturally refers to her beauty. The combination is amazing and fierce. Beauty is beautiful, but it is too sinister. In the most beautiful years, she met and fell in love with Zhuo Yihang, who was elegant, shy but hesitant and cowardly, which was bound to be a tragedy. Lian Nishang is extreme and strong, while Zhuo Yihang is cowardly and hesitant. Lian Nishang does not understand the truth that "the one who is too strong is straight and easy to break, and the one who is kind and soft is invincible". She forced Zhuo Yihang to choose. In the end, a choice will be made between love and righteousness, but the problem is that people need to think about the time to struggle, hesitate and wander. Zhuo Yihang has received orthodox education since childhood, followed the way of Confucius and Mencius, and the etiquette of sages. You want him in a short time. It is impossible to abandon the teacher's school, betray the classics, let go of the world, and run away for love. So the tighter she pushes, the more counterproductive the effect. She was heartbroken, her temperament changed greatly after a night of gray hair, and she went to another extreme, hating all the men in the world, and when Zhuo Yihang was willing to give up everything to repent in front of her, she was unwilling to forgive Zhuo Yihang. While it's partly because she feels inferior to her white-haired and red-faced appearance, I believe it's more out of revenge on Joo. Revenge has always been a double-edged sword. Although Zhuo Yihang was punished, he was unhappy all his life, and he didn't wait for the euphoria to bloom until his death, but how could Lian Nishang ever be happy? In terms of grievances, Lian Nishang is less than one-tenth of the grievances Zhao Min suffered; in terms of obstacles, there are only sectarian concepts and secular prejudices between Lianzhuo, and between Zhao and Zhang, except for sects Concepts, secular prejudice, and national hatred and emotional war. Lian Nishang and Zhao Min, who is more unfortunate? The answer is obvious! But Zhao Min got a relatively happy ending, but practiced Nishang but didn't get it. Therefore, the tragedy between Lian Nishang and Zhuo Yihang is largely caused by Lian Nishang's overly resolute character. This tragedy is actually a character tragedy.
Zhao Min and Lian Nishang, no matter how much the same or how different, are eternal classics in everyone's heart.
