Gu Long is 156 cm tall, with a big head like a bucket and an ordinary appearance.
In the rivers and lakes, I can't help myself", This classic line must be familiar to everyone, do you know who the creator of this sentence is? That is the Taiwanese martial arts ** family Gu Long.
In Gu Long's "The Sword of the Third Young Master", Yan Shisan once said something similar.
Gu Long, Jin Yong and Liang Yusheng are known as the three masters (or masters) of Chinese martial arts, and the influence of their works has continued to endure. Among them, Jin Yong is the most well-known, but for me, Gu Long is the most unique one, his style is unique and interesting, and I admire it the most.
Gu Long, formerly known as Xiong Yaohua, is a famous martial arts artist, as well as a representative and leader of the new school of martial arts. His creative concept is "seeking innovation and change", not bound by tradition, fusing Eastern and Western classics into one furnace, and has made great contributions to the formation of the concept of "martial arts aesthetics" and the promotion of "martial arts culture".
Today we will talk about this martial arts genius who is evaluated as "156 cm tall, with a big head like a fight, and an unremarkable appearance".
I am fascinated by the state of your life, because there are very few people as unique as you. Every time I read this sentence, my heart is filled with emotions that are both cool and hot.
Gu Long, whose words have been deeply integrated into the history of Chinese literature, has become an irreproducible bright pearl. Although there are many people who try to imitate his style, they cannot replicate his essence, and the difference can be seen just by savoring the text.
Gu Long is Gu Long, his life is like Fu Hongxue, no matter how much Ziyu gives him, he will not be shaken by it, because he is Fu Hongxue. Gu Long has a strong personality, likes to drink, lust, and promiscuity, and his writing attitude is not rigorous enough, he knows that he is wrong, but he still chooses to do it because it is his style.
His unobedience and uninhibited have made him unique. I believe that Gu Long's success lies in his willfulness, but it also leads to his failure because of it. His wanton behavior and extreme character give his ** a romantic color, which has a unique value.
But if he is not so willful, he may have a longer life, more time to revise his previous books, and may be more mellow in his written expression, so as not to make people feel that he is deliberately talking about life and philosophy.
Gu Long's ** is a very special form of literature, which can be regarded as an alternative martial arts**, or it can be seen as pure literature dressed in the coat of martial arts.
Gu Long's "Seven Kinds" is always full of sparks of wisdom. His writing is concise and clear, but it has a profound meaning that makes people feel moved to read it. I especially like his style of language, the protagonist and the villain are both philosophers and are often troubled by metaphysical questions.
The unique "ancient dragon body" of the ancient dragon is worth talking about. In the process of growing up, in addition to Hemingway's dialogues, it was the first time I saw writing ** with such words, short sentences and long sentences interlaced, scattered cultural narratives, and unadorned dialogues, full of philosophy and humor, but sometimes it seemed a little verbose.
The sword light traveled through three thousand miles, and a sword frost covered nineteen states"- Gu Long's "The Sword of the Third Young Master" reveals the theme of Gu Long's third **.
In Gunlong's martial arts**, we can see a unique relationship between monarchs and ministers, which is more like the relationship between the Japanese lord and the samurai. Gu Long's admiration for death and his depiction of characters as proof of death make people feel that the world of martial arts in his writing has a strong sense of déjà vu, as if inherited from the Japanese spirit of bushido.
Gu Long's martial artists are different from traditional martial arts, they pursue a pure, ultimate "Tao", not just skilled moves. This pursuit of "Tao" is more like the Japanese samurai's pursuit of loyalty, bravery, and honor.
Therefore, it can be said that Gu Long's martial arts ** is an embodiment of the spirit of Japanese bushido, and the relationship between monarchs and ministers and characters he constructed in ** is a deep excavation and inheritance of the spirit of Japanese bushido.
The sunset is always the most beautiful, but the time is always close to dusk at this time. The same goes for many things in life, especially those glorious and beautiful moments.
Therefore, you don't have to feel sad or sorry for the loss, even if you go to Jiangnan to enjoy the spring, don't try to keep it. Because that's life, there are some things you can't stop them from happening.
Only by learning to accept the ruthlessness of life can you truly appreciate the tenderness it brings. This is the message that Gu Long wants to convey in "White Jade Tiger". Gu Long's works can be roughly divided into three periods: early, middle and late, and his style began to show its unique charm before it matured.
Gu Long's creative style gradually matured from "Xiao Li Flying Knife" to "Earth Flying Eagle", but it was not full of deep twilight and Zen sighs as in the later period.
After "The Eagle of the Earth", Gu Long's works gradually decreased, and only the longer ones were the stories behind Lu Xiaofeng and the small format works such as "Heroes Without Tears".
His later works pay more attention to the expression of emotions, and although the plot is not as rich and varied as in the middle period, the exploration of human nature is more profound and unique, full of tiredness, melancholy and loneliness.
Gu Long's late works are more like he is expounding his understanding and comprehension of Zen theory, which is especially evident in "The Legend of the New Moon", which is full of Zen sentences.
Gu Long's cold wind is like a knife cutting, using the earth as a chopping board and all living beings as fish and meat; Thousands of miles of snow, the sky as a furnace, in which all things melt into **.
Jin Yong and Gu Long, as two literary giants, have their own merits. On the whole, Jin Yong's literary attainments surpass Gu Long, but in terms of depicting artistic conception, Gu Long's brushstrokes seem to be more delicate, his writing skills and storyline complement each other, the environmental description is unmatched, and the plot is also first-class.
The juxtaposition of Gu Long and Jin Yong stems from Gu Long's exquisite skill in describing artistic conception. In contrast, Jin Yong's characters lack storytelling. Taking Jianghu as an example, Jin Yong's Jianghu is like a traditional RPG game, where players can get peerless magic skills by buying wine or chicken legs for beggars, but the specific content is unknown.
Gu Long's world of rivers and lakes is different from the character settings in other works. The characters here have distinct personalities, they have their own boundaries and principles, but you can only ** what they won't do, and you can't predict what they will do unexpectedly.
Gu Long's words give life and vitality to these characters, and their names - Li Xunhuan, Chu Liuxiang, Lu Xiaofeng, etc., once mentioned, can immediately sketch a vivid image in the reader's mind.
Compared with Mr. Jin Yong's works, I prefer Mr. Gu Long's works. Mr. Jin Yong's works, although full of family and country feelings, his concept of love is a lifetime and a couple, and his protagonist is often a symbol of justice.
And Mr. Gu Long's works are even more free, his concept of love is romantic but not lewd, he is not bound by the world, has his own rules and bottom line, and his protagonist is better at finding fun in life.
In the works of Gu Long and Jin Yong, I personally prefer the female characters portrayed by Gu Long, such as Mei Yinxue and Shi Guanyin. Jin Yong's female characters are often portrayed as vassals of men, and they are not as independent as the characters in Gu Long's works.
However, Gu Long's martial arts** also have its shortcomings, and the plot is not as compact as Jin Yong's works, so readers may feel more freedom when reading Gu Long's works, while Jin Yong's works need readers to chase them down in order to be able to do so.
In addition, Gu Long's works may not be quite in line with the overall aesthetic of mainland readers, while Jin Yong's works are better in this regard.
Mr. Gu Long's world is rich and colorful, like an all-encompassing treasure, but it also makes the production of many works full of challenges. In contrast, Mr. Jin Yong's works are closer to life and down-to-earth, which can be seen from the fact that we can see more Jin Yong's works being put on the screen.
Wandering in the rivers and lakes, people's bodies are involuntarily, love and hatred are difficult, and grievances are endless. With his pride, chivalrous tenderness and talent, Gu Long left behind many wonderful and popular martial arts masterpieces, creating a new era of modern martial arts and pushing martial arts literature to a new peak.
His works are full of contradictions and conflicts, with distinct personalities, complex emotions, vivid language, fluent writing, sincere emotions, and deep roots, showing the complexity and diversity of rivers and lakes, which is deeply shocking.
Gu Long retreated at home, devoting himself to practicing calligraphy and practicing Buddhism, and only a few close friends would occasionally come to the door to share ** Zen principles. This change of state of mind contributed to the change in the style of his later works.
If he was still alive at that time, he would not have faced the cruelty of death, and his attitude to life and mood would not have undergone such a big change, he would still live a graceful and high-spirited life, calling friends and companions, dominating the rivers and lakes, and there would be less pessimism and decadence in the philosophy of human nature, perhaps a little similar to the mid-life crisis confusion and loneliness in "The Sword of the Third Young Master".
Gu Long, with his works, shows the life course of a literary giant. His works, at first, were full of life and vitality, which made people's blood boil; However, as the years passed, his late works gradually revealed the calmness and profundity of the old man, more like a wisp of life's tired and deep sigh.
This change may be because he saw through the world and human feelings in advance, transcended things, and became an old man. However, this also imbues his late works with a sigh-like style and context.
In any case, his works are a microcosm of his life, allowing us to feel his passion and depth in reading.
