Jin Yong's masterpiece, the female protagonist **, the male protagonist is hungry and thirsty, why has it become an immortal classic?
In that distant era when electronic entertainment was not yet popular, martial arts ** was the spiritual food for many people. However, with the increase in the number of martial arts, people have begun to realize that the plot of martial arts is repetitive and old-fashioned.
Most martial arts usually tell the story of the struggle between the sanctimonious hero and the ** forces, and the ending is often the final victory of justice. In this case, why can Jin Yong's works stand out in the vast martial arts?
Jin Yong's heroes are different. The heroes of many writers are morally noble and flawless, while the heroes of Jin Yong are closer to real human nature and are full of complexity and contradictions.
Taking Jin Yong's works as an example, the heroes and heroines have many shortcomings, the male protagonist is uninhibited and unrestrained, and the heroine is changeable and emotional, and this unusual character has become a classic of the work.
In most martial arts**, good heroes are always very noble and firmly believe in morality and justice, but this kind of overly perfect description often makes readers feel distant from them and difficult to resonate. But, just as each of us has weaknesses and problems, heroes in the martial arts world shouldn't be perfect either.
Take "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" as an example, the protagonist of the story, Zhang Wuji, has been an honest man since he was a child, but his inner world is full of contradictions and struggles.
He witnessed his parents being so-called"Good people"Killed, but not avenged. When the Battle of Guangmingding broke out, he had the intention of killing the enemy, but he chose to forgive. It is precisely because of these complex emotions that Jin Yong's works can deeply move readers.
In the vast world of martial arts, many heroes have emotional entanglements with each other. Some love is as solid as a rock, while others are like wild cranes, unable to put love in their hearts.
One of the protagonists has a somewhat complex way of managing his emotions, and on the surface he seems to be loyal, but in fact he is emotionally complex. Speaking of him, he is not the Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min we often say, let alone the famous Mr. Wei Xiaobo. On the contrary, as soon as the hollow bamboo in "Tianlong Babu" appeared, it became the center of the book.
This unusual young monk leaves a mixed impression on the reader. When he first entered the rivers and lakes, he was like a blank sheet of paper, ignorant and naïve. But he had a profound impact on everyone, especially when Wu Yazi taught him all of his martial arts, and his fate seemed to enter a whole new whirlpool.
The young monk's first impression is one of kindness and innocence, but as the story unfolds, we realize that he is not as simple as it seems. Like Meng Gu, the women around him have their own stories and complex emotions, and he seems to be at the center of many of their emotions.
Xu Zhu is a seemingly simple but complex character, he is not only strong in martial arts, but also shows a unique personality charm in the emotional vortex. His life has changed from an ordinary monk to a master of the rivers and lakes, but his emotions have always been as elusive as a labyrinth.
In the depths of the distant Xixia Ice Cellar, Tianshan Tong organizes an ingenious game involving the naïve Shaolin monk Xuzhu and the imprisoned innocent Menggu. In this cold and dark place, an unprecedented relationship quietly develops.
Tianshan Tong's grandmother seems to have deliberately broken the rules of Buddhism, giving Xuzhu wine and meat, and making him give up the obsession in his heart. When Meng Gu appeared in the ice cellar, this seemed to be the biggest test that Tong Mu had prepared for Xuzhu.
When Meng Gu entered the ice cellar for the first time, she was obviously a little scared, but what she was afraid of was not Xu Zhu, but the endless darkness and heart-piercing cold. But when her body first came into contact with Xu Zhu, that fear turned into another kind of expectation. His body slowly approached Juezhu, as if looking for a safe haven.
The Xuzhu monk, who follows the rules on weekdays, has mixed feelings at the moment. His heart seemed to beat faster, and his arms unconsciously wrapped around Menggu's body. Although he is usually almost blank in the affairs of men and women, his body and mind seem to tell him that it is a feeling that has never been felt before.
Such an encounter is undoubtedly Tong Mu's calculation, but it is undeniable that the relationship between Xuzhu and Menggu is real and deep. Both seem to have forgotten their identities and surroundings, just enjoying the warmth and sweetness of the moment.
In Mr. Jin Yong's chivalrous world, the most unexpected is Xu Zhu, a Shaolin monk who seems to have nothing to do with martial arts. His initial innocence clashes with his deep affection for women, which makes people can't help but feel heartache, and such a person is destined to fall into the abyss in the turbulent rivers and lakes.
From Tianshan Tong to Li Qiushui, and then to the harem concubines"Western Xia", who would have thought that there would be countless wonderful adventures and romances in Jin Yong's pen?In these changes, Xuzhu is no longer an innocent monk who first entered the book, but an ordinary person who has experienced love, hatred, and power conspiracy.
Jin Yong boldly tried to portray his main character. He seems to want to tell us that even in the martial arts world, there are images of ordinary people, whose mistakes, conflicts, and struggles are actually the core part of the story. Jin Yong used them to show many aspects of human nature.
Judging from the title of the book, "Dragon Babu", this is a story full of mythology. And Jin Yong explains this many times in the book, mentioning Buddhism, Taoism, and many mythological stories, which makes the book full of profound philosophies.
However, the reason why this book has become a classic is probably not only because of its profound philosophy, but also because of the characters in it. Like everyone in our lives, they have their shortcomings and sometimes make bad choices, but deep down, they always fight for justice and goodness, showing us true humanity.
Although Xuzhu's decisions are sometimes unexpected, he is the most representative character in this story. Similarly, Duan Yu's romance and Xiao Feng's tenacity also show Jin Yong's redefinition of the perfect hero, and their classic thing is that they have the contradictions and struggles of ordinary people.
