"Romance of the Dragon and Snake"

Only kill the enemy, do not perform, the martial arts of defending the family and the country are called national arts!

Preface:

1899-1949

In the 50 years since the end of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, thousands of heroes have soared.

The Republic of China was a strange era, leaving behind many dazzling and well-known legends, but there were no one cared about.

They are like the special characters in the era of the generation of good and evil as Jia Yucun said in the Dream of Red Mansions.

Among the tens of millions of people, their intelligence and courage are powerful at home and abroad, and they sacrifice their lives and forget their deaths for the ideals in their hearts, and they are above tens of millions of people; their perverse and evil attitude and impersonal feelings, their cowardly acts for the sake of financial interests, and their despicable acts of defecting to the enemy and betraying the country are also under the tens of millions of people.

Their feet walked in the rolling red dust of the world, and their hearts stepped on the magnificent beauty of China in the Tang Dynasty, and when the sharp iron fist in their hands smashed into the four big characters of "The Sick Man of East Asia", it sounded the horn of resistance in the hearts of ordinary people like a bell.

This is their story, this is the story of the national arts, this is the story of only killing the enemy and not performing, this is the story of a strong man, this is a story of breaking the signboard of "The Sick Man of East Asia", this is a heroic road that spans the world and forgets to die for the country and the people!

You and I are witnesses of this heroic journey to the legend!

...

After returning from Ming Pao, Huo Yaowen began to write "The Romance of the Dragon and Snake", which is not so much a copy of the book as a book of divine machines, but just a book title and the word "national art", the content in it has nothing to do with the fire book of later generations, all of them are Huo Yaowen's original stories.

Huo Yaowen likes the title of "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" very much and feels very much, so it shouldn't be much of a problem to borrow the title of the book and the concept of national art.

Huo Yaowen is self-aware and knows that his ability to describe fights is relatively weak, so the "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" conceived in his mind is not entirely based on fighting, but mainly about the male protagonist and those martial arts masters in the Republic of China period who learned various genres of national arts.

From the beginning of the Boxer Fist of the Eight-Nation Alliance, to the later warlord melee period, the male protagonist and various martial arts masters beat Western warriors and strong men from various countries, and finally put forward the concept of only killing the enemy and not performing in the War of Resistance against Japan, which is called the concept of national art, so as to sublimate the idea of the whole book and the major events of the family and country.

It is equivalent to that this book is roughly just a biography of various martial arts schools, and it is exaggerated to achieve the various non-scientific forces such as light and dark energy mentioned in the novel.

After writing the preface, Huo Yaowen didn't write.

He doesn't know much about the martial arts world, and the types of martial arts he knows are roughly Xingyiquan, Taijiquan, Baguazhang, Dasheng Split, Cai Li Fo, Wing Chun, Hung Boxing... and some other well-known martial arts schools.

And without the support of the Internet, it is too difficult and difficult for him to make up these genres in his own mind, and if he writes blindly, he will end up with other people's tongues, after all, Hong Kong because of martial arts novels, there has long been a good martial arts style among ordinary citizens, and maybe a random fruit seller on the street is the senior brother of a certain genre.

Instead of scribbling, it is better to do a good job of information first, find some free time, visit the martial arts gyms of various schools in Hong Kong, and find a way to get some martial arts information from them.

At present, there are not many martial arts halls in Hong Kong, anyway, there are many more than in later generations, and there are quite a lot of different genres.

In addition to the moves of these schools, Huo Yaowen also has to go to the library or some places to check the information of martial arts masters in the Republic of China, although he knows some characters, such as:

"Big Knife King Five"

"Sharpshooter Li Shuwen"

"Guo Yunshen who punches the world in half a step"

"Sword and palm double Han Muxia"

"The natural Du Xinwu who is natural in the natural door"

"Dong Haichuan, the founder of Da Nei Master Baguazhang"

"Sun Lutang, the martial god known as the first hand of the tiger head and the world......

These characters are only a small number of martial arts masters in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China that Huo Yaowen has seen in his later generations, and now in addition to remembering these names, almost most of the information about these people has long been forgotten.

This kind of real person in history is naturally much more difficult to write than "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", not only to verify that all kinds of information are not tongued, but also to visit as much as possible if his descendants are still alive and move to Hong Kong, and try to get the consent of the other party.

In this way, although the difficulty of writing the essay has been greatly deepened, Huo Yaowen enjoys it, after all, to write such a more realistic legendary story of the martial arts of the Republic of China, as long as it is written well, it must be enough to become the originator of the national art school.

...

was also writing the outline of "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" while Huo Yaowen was about to finish the first "Ghost Blowing the Lantern --- Notes on Tomb Robbery".

At this moment, the "Literary World" newspaper office can be described as very lively.

After more than a month of the essay contest of "New Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream", it officially came to an end today, and no more manuscripts will be accepted, even if they are sent now, they are no longer counted in the essay competition.

In a small editor-in-chief's office,

Inside, the table is piled with a cloud of manuscripts, and on a wall behind it, a huge bookcase is hung with all kinds of books and magazines.

"Thank you, Ms. Nie, for flying back to Hong Kong from the United States to participate in the first "New Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" essay contest proposed by Literary World. I know that you have recently returned to Hong Kong and have been busy, so I specially asked the editors and associate editors below to help review the manuscripts, and a total of 10 manuscripts were selected, all of which had the hope of competing for the top three. So the rest depends on you, Ms. Zhang Ailing, Ms. Yishu and Ms. Qiong Yao to jointly select the top three in the essay competition. ”

Deng McKee, the editor-in-chief of the literary world, looked at Nie Hualing, a well-known female writer who had rushed back from the United States from thousands of miles away, with a grateful face.

Nie Hualing showed a polite smile and said: "I just happened to be back to Hong Kong this time and I was also going to visit a few old friends, and it was also my honor to have the honor to participate in this literary essay contest on the way, and I am very happy to participate in this essay contest." ”

"That's great, to have Ms. Nie join, it must be the pinnacle of our literary feast!" Deng McKee complimented.

Nie Hualing waved her hand again and again, and said modestly: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." ”

"Ms. Nie is too modest!" Deng McKey suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly turned around and took out a book that was almost torn from the bookcase, put it in front of Nie Hualing and said, "Ms. Nie, you must sign me, I have read your book over and over again!"

Nie Hualing took the book and glanced at the blue background color of the cover, as well as the six big characters "The Lost Golden Bell" printed in a vaguely indistinguishable gold or yellow print, and couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that Editor-in-Chief Deng still kept the first edition." ”

Deng McKee sighed: "Yes, it's a pity that I didn't buy two copies at that time, this one has been a little worn out by me, if I had known, I would have bought one and collected it." ”

Nie Hualing chuckled and said, "Aren't books just for reading? The worse you turn them, the better I write, this is something I am very happy to see, if I buy a book and don't read it at home, then why buy a book?"

"Yes, Ms. Nie is right, isn't it just to read books when you buy them?" Deng McKee laughed.

Suddenly, Deng McKee thought of something and asked curiously: "Ms. Nie, I heard that you and your husband ran an "International Writing Project" in the United States last year?

Nie Hualing said with a smile: "In this international writing project, I want to invite literati writers from all over the world to discuss the creation of literature in the future, carry out cultural exchanges between the East and the West, and promote the further development of the literary world." Invite them to come to the International Writing City founded by my husband and I for a short period of literary writing and joint discussions. ”

"Okay!" Deng McKee was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "I wonder if our newspaper will have the honor to participate in it? In the future, whether that writer is a Western writer or an Eastern writer, the manuscript can be published in our literary world!"

Nie Hualing thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes." ”
