Xiao Yi thought of the meaning of martial arts novels

Recently, there are reports about Xiao Yi, Mr. Xiao Yi is the master of martial arts novels after Jin Yong , Liang Yusheng and Gu Long . At the age of 23, he entered the literary world with his debut novel " Tie Yanshuang Ling ". In fact, he started writing at about the same time as Gu Long. For nearly half a century, he has authored more than 40 various martial arts and historical novels , and more than 1,000 various column essays and essays. He is also a part-time screenwriter for a TV company, writing more than 200 episodes of various TV scripts and more than 20 movie scripts.

Xiao Yi's martial arts novels are different from Jin Yong's big scenes and grand spirits, and also different from Gu Long's turbulent and illusory, happy and enmity, but focus on the fine depiction of the characters' hearts. Xiao Yi is good at portraying those amorous knights who can't help themselves and are in a dilemma, but like the novels of Jin Yong, Liang Yusheng, and Gu Long, they pay great attention to chivalry. Abandoning this idea is not the value of the martial arts tradition." Yes, it is the broad mind and great sympathy that are the fundamental chivalrous spirit.

From Jin Yong to Xiao Yi, the influence of martial arts novels is very extensive. In the past ten years, it has been remade into film and television, and the impact is even greater. The first meaning of martial arts novels is the breadth of influence, from highly educated people such as professors, Senior engineers, etc., to people with a little cultural knowledge, such as plasterers, carpenters, etc., from domestic to overseas Chinese areas, as long as there is an influence of Chinese characters, some people like to read martial arts novels, and they read them with great interest. This is unmatched by other novels, including historical novels.

The second meaning of martial arts novels is the subtle cultural meaning. Martial arts novels spread culture through fictional stories dominated by chivalry and supplemented by martial arts. The twists and turns and interesting stories contain rich cultural information, expressing the values of Yang good and evil, allowing the majority of readers feel the value of culture. It can be said that martial arts novels are very Chinese and have a very Chinese flavor. The spread of martial arts novels in overseas Chinese areas is actually spreading traditional Chinese culture to the world. This "soft" method of dissemination is much more effective than "hard" propaganda.

The third meaning of martial arts novels is to give people a relaxed and happy feeling. In the fast-paced modern life, busy people are already under very tired and heavy pressure, reading serious novels, reading stories with strong authenticity, reminiscent of heavy reality, too tired, and the illusoryness of martial arts novels , fun, and highly episodic style that makes it easy to read, lighthearted, and enjoyable to read. The kind of "unexpected, but within reason" narrative style often makes readers stunned.

The fourth meaning of martial arts novels is to promote the development of cultural industries such as books and film and television. Most of martial arts novels are very popular, and their adaptations into movies and TV are also very popular with audiences. This is a more effective specific way to develop the cultural industry. With the help of the "creativity" of the masters of martial arts novels, the operators of books and films have turned the stories of "Martial Arts" and "Xia" into big stories through certain creative planning. Turn a lot of bills and point "things" (story) into "gold" (money).

The fifth meaning of martial arts novels is to expand the scope of novels. Martial arts novels were originally considered not "novels" and were not considered by orthodox literature, but now they are more and more definitely novels: the history of literature wrote martial arts novels The chapters of the wuxia novels were taught by university professors, and the chapters of the wuxia novels were selected into the teaching textbooks. In fact, martial arts novels expand the scope of novels in their unique form, making them more vivid, interesting, and more widely read. When literature is liked by people, people like literature. In this sense, martial arts novels are more "literary".

Of course, martial arts novels also have certain negative influences due to their strong fiction and their exaggeration of chivalry, such as only talking about brotherhood and downplaying legal system awareness. However, just imagine, what kind of literary form does not have negativity?

Anyway, martial arts novels like to read are interesting.
