Mondo Culture Updated on 2024-02-08

Mr. Jin Yong, a generation of martial arts masters, in his famous book "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", there is a famous figure in history - Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang, who later became the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was deliberately smeared by Mr. Jin Yong in **. So, why did Mr. Jin Yong treat this historical figure like this?

The story takes place in the last years of the Yuan Dynasty, when the rivers and lakes are turbulent and the people are struggling to make a living. The young Zhang Wuji has experienced on the rivers and lakes and experienced one life and death battle after another. In this process, Zhu Yuanzhang, the future generation of heroes, appeared in Zhang Wuji's fate as an insignificant role. In **, the image is not glorious, he is cunning, insidious, selfish, and unscrupulous for his own selfish interests. His grievances and hatreds with Zhang Wuji are like an undercurrent, always surging in the depths of the story. Mr. Jin Yong skillfully integrates historical figures into the plot, so that readers can enjoy the passionate martial arts stories and become curious about the future Ming Dynasty emperor.

Why is Zhu Yuanzhang's image in ** so unbearable? This is precisely Mr. Jin Yong's cleverness. By discrediting Zhu Yuanzhang, he conveyed a message to readers: heroes also have unbearable pasts, as well as their unspeakable privacy. This makes Zhu Yuanzhang's image fuller, and it also makes readers interested in this historical figure.

However, this is only the beginning of the story. With the growth of Zhang Wuji, Zhu Yuanzhang is also slowly rising. They met on the rivers and lakes, became enemies, and started a fierce contest. In this life-and-death struggle, Mr. Jin Yong skillfully reveals Zhu Yuanzhang's ambitions and conspiracy, allowing readers to feel the sinister nature of the rivers and lakes and the impermanence of life.

Why did Mr. Jin Yong make such an arrangement? Because he wants to tell readers that the truth of history is often hidden in a lot of fog, which needs to be excavated and examined. And martial arts rivers and lakes are such a world full of legends and mysteries, which can not only show the brilliance of human nature, but also expose the ugliness of human nature.

By discrediting Zhu Yuanzhang, Mr. Jin Yong allows us to see a completely different historical figure. This future generation of heroes, before his rise, was also an ordinary person, even a little humble. This arrangement not only makes the story more engaging, but also makes us feel awe of history.

In short, there are the following aspects:

1.Personal Emotional Factor: Although Kim Daxia is a brilliant writer, he is not a god and has unique emotions and positions. Perhaps due to personal reasons, he had a certain negative feelings about the Ming Dynasty and Zhu Yunwen, so he expressed them accordingly in his works.

2.Historical environment: Jin Daxia lived in an era where access to information was not convenient, and his knowledge of historical events was limited. In "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", some of the leaders of the late Yuan uprising may be wrongly blamed for their bad behavior, which leads to slander against them.

3.Literary creation skills: Jin Daxia is good at using contrasting techniques to highlight themes by creating various characters. In Heaven and Dragon Slayer, the image of Zhu Yunwen may be used as a means to foil other characters to highlight their justice and wisdom.

4.* Plot: In "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", Zhu Yunwen is portrayed as a humble man, which may be due to the needs of the **plot. By degrading Joo's image, it helps to shape other characters and makes the story more engaging.

5.Influence of social concepts: In the historical period in which Jin Daxia lived, there were differences in social concepts. In that era, the evaluation of historical figures and dynasties may have been subjectively influenced, and Jin Daxia was no exception. His slander of Zhu Yunwen in his works may also be influenced by the social atmosphere of the time.

In short, Jin Daxia deliberately slandered Zhu Yuanzhang in "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", which may be influenced by a variety of factors such as personal emotions, historical environment, literary creation skills, plot needs and social concepts. However, this does not mean that Jin Daxia's view is completely correct, and it is only a manifestation in the process of literary creation. Readers should pay attention to distinguishing the boundary between literature and history when appreciating **.
