The 41st hero, the burial object of civilization
"The little man of chivalry is brave in the face of righteousness; The great man of chivalry, for the country and the people! old-school martial arts novels, describing the little ones of chivalry; The new school of martial arts, describing the great man of chivalry. Is this the most important difference between the old and new martial arts novels? The female reporter asked another question.
"Sort of. old-school martial arts novels, mainly based on righteousness and bravery; The new school of martial arts novels is based on the country and the people. Of course, not absolutely! Li Qing opened his mouth and said: "If you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world; If you don't do it, why is it a hero. If a person can't even do righteous and courageous deeds, can he be expected to serve the country and the people? For the country and the people, it is not a slogan, but composed of countless small things! A lot of small things have been done, and big things are almost done! ”
"The great man of chivalry, for the country and the people?" Liu Rumeng asked, "How should I explain it?" ”
"Fan Zhongyan said that if you live in a temple, you will worry about the people, and if you are far away from the rivers and lakes, you will worry about your king." Li Qingdao: "As for the great man of chivalry, for the country and the people, to be specific, it is the last fifty chapters of the Water Margin!" ”
"It's Water Margin again."
Liu Rumeng smiled, she was off topic again, but she liked it very much, it was not important to go off-topic, the important thing was to be wonderful and interesting.
"There is a famous saying in the Song Dynasty that if you want to be an official, you should kill people and set fire to be recruited. Many thieves are going to Zhao'an in the end, or Zhao'an is the dream of many people. The founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang also accepted the Zhao'an of the Yuan Dynasty, which was an expedient measure, and Li Zicheng also accepted the Zhao'an of the Ming Dynasty. ”
And in the Water Margin, the heroes of Liangshan also accepted Zhao'an, which seems to be fate and a doomed ending. Just because there is almost no way out except to accept Zhao'an. If you don't accept Zhao'an, there are only two ways to go, one is to be exterminated by the imperial court, just like in real history - Liangshan was exterminated by Zhang Shuye. ”
"Liangshan in history is very unpleasant, just a Taishou, that is, it is exterminated; is not as awesome as in the novel, and the whole country is mobilized, and it is still difficult to exterminate. Liang Shan is powerful, Liang Shan has defeated officers and soldiers again and again, but it is just that the literati are obscene! ”
"And if he is written as a hero of Liangshan and is exterminated by the imperial court, it is destined to be a tragedy, destined to be disliked by readers, and destined to be reduced to a second-rate novel!"
"The other way is to write that the heroes of Liangshan succeeded in rebellion, Song Jiang became the emperor, overthrew the Song Dynasty, and established a new dynasty, which is also impossible! Historical novels, history comes first, novels come last, novels must obey history, specifically, the general trend is immutable, and small things can be changed! ”
"When writing historical novels, you can make up a lot of characters that don't exist, you can write loyal ministers as traitors, you can write some waste as good generals, many characters, many events, can be rewritten; It's just that the only thing that can't be rewritten is the general trend of history, and history can't be tampered with! ”
"In history, the Northern Song Dynasty died in the Jin Dynasty and died in the shame of Jingkang, but it cannot be written as the death of the Song River, otherwise it is tampering with history!"
In the era of the Ming Dynasty, there were no overhead novels, no time travel novels, and Shi Nai'an naturally could not write Song Jiang as a time traveler, so the general trend of history was immortal, and the Song Dynasty was still destroyed at the hands of the Jin State, not at the hands of Song Jiang.
Historical novels, which can be made into television and movies, have derived many literary genres; But it's not okay to write fiction or travel through history, it's too powerful to tamper with history, and many historical trends have been reversed, and they can't be made into TV series or movies, and the literary genre is very narrow.
In the historical novels, the only one made into a TV series is only "Looking for Qin"; As for other time-traveling historical novels, tampering with history is too serious to be made into a TV series.
""Water Margin" seems to have taken the middle route!" Li Qing continued: "I chose Zhao'an, but I let all the heroes die one after another in the fight against the Liao army and in the battle to destroy Fangla, which made the entire Liangshan tragic to the extreme, and also reached the most ** in the novel!" Resisting the Liao army and destroying Fang La, in Shi Nai'an's eyes, they are all for the country and the people, and they are all chivalrous, compared with the previous righteous and courageous deeds, killing corrupt officials, it is a few levels higher! ”
"But the Water Margin, it's very tragic?" Liu Rumeng frowned.
"When a person is powerless to change the times, it is a tragedy to choose to go along with the flow; Choosing death is another tragedy! Li Qing said quietly: "The heroes of Liangshan have chosen the second tragedy!" The tragedy of the heroes of Liangshan is also the tragedy of those who are chivalrous and serve the country and the people! ”
"Could it be that the one who chooses the great chivalry and serves the country and the people is doomed to tragedy?"
"That's for sure!" Li Qing said leisurely, "The world always says that the world is prosperous, and the husband is responsible. The responsibility of the state lies with the emperor, the official history, the gentry, etc., in fact, it is really the moment when the husband is responsible, when the country is in decline, and it is often the moment when the country is destroyed. The building will fall, it will be difficult to support alone, and at that moment, these reckless people, often weak, unable to bear the house that is about to fall, the only thing they can do is to bury the whole country and the whole civilization! ”
When a country declines, there must always be funerary goods;
When a civilization declines, there must always be funerary goods.
Then the gentry, the officials, would kneel down to greet their new masters; Many grass people will not be buried with them -- they are slaves anyway, they are slaves in the time of the old masters, and they are also slaves when they are in the new masters.
Only those who are chivalrous, for the country and the people, are willing to cut their bodies, dare to save the sky, and if they do not succeed, they will become benevolent, and they cannot save the times and save the entire civilization, so let's bury the entire civilization!
In the Celestial Empire, in Jin Dada's novels, Guo Jing was evaluated by the great man of chivalry, for the country and the people.
But Guo Jing used his own strength to save the sky, and finally failed and was buried for the entire civilization.
"Martial arts novels can easily become righteous and courageous, and can easily evolve into dark forces, which are not conducive to social stability. What is the practical significance and educational significance of martial arts novels? Liu Rumeng changed the topic again and asked.
Many movies, many novels, are mainly entertainment, and most of them say that they are pure entertainment, with no educational significance, no ideological significance, and no practical significance. In fact, it's bad, even if it's a ridiculous novel, an entertainment novel, or a garbage novel, it has its meaning.
This requires the news media, and it takes the journalists to dig hard.
"In today's era, there is no need for heroes to act bravely, because the cameras installed everywhere on the street are the best heroes; There is no need for heroes, for the country and the people, because there is no war, you can't join the army to fight and serve the country; Although they have the right to vote and the right to be elected, most of them are useless and cannot serve the country and the people; As for those who are in politics, after all, politics also requires connections and skills, and most people can't do it! ”
"The so-called for the country and the people, at most, is to write posts on the Internet and comment on them, and be angry; The so-called for the country and the people, at most, is to pay taxes on time, not illegal! ”
"In martial arts, propaganda is righteous and courageous, for the country and the people, in fact, it is very empty, and the empty does not seem to exist......" As he spoke, Li Qing was silent, picked up the tea, took a sip, and said: "Empty is meaningless, it has no ideological significance, it has no educational significance, and it is deceitful!" ”
"I gradually came to a conclusion that martial arts novels have no meaning, only entertainment, only making money!"
Liu Rumeng was stunned, this was not the answer she needed.
"Isn't martial arts fiction really meaningless?" Liu Rumeng asked unwillingly
