Chapter 40 The Origin of Martial Arts Novels

Women are just cheating, there were many in the past, and there are many in the present.

After cheating, if you are in a good mood, fool the past; If you're in a bad mood, you'll just get a divorce.

If a woman cheats on her, it is to kill one, and the criminal case in Donghua will definitely be dozens of times more.

In "Water Margin", there are so many adulterers and adulteresses, and they keep killing their wives, just to vote for fame, just to isolate themselves from society, and completely go to the opposite side of society and become a member of Liangshan.

"According to Mr.'s point of view, there are two criticisms in martial arts novels, one is that righteousness and courage are excessive, and the other is to establish dark forces in the name of chivalry." Liu Rumeng concluded: "The former is still just; But the latter is entirely the source of social unrest! ”

"The birth of martial arts novels also has a certain background of the times; And from the area of martial arts novels, it can be seen that the social background at that time! Li Qing suddenly thought of something.

"Would you like to hear about it?" Liu Rumeng said with a smile.

"In Donghua, most of the well-known martial arts writers were born in Tokyo, but in Osaka, there are very few martial arts writers!" Li Qing said, "And the reason for all this is that Osaka's social security is too good, and the government is building a clean government, so it is difficult to give birth to martial arts masters!" ”

"No, it won't!" Liu Rumeng said: "What does social security, clean government, and the prosperity of martial arts novels have to do with it? ”

Li Qing nodded and said, "That's true." For the birth of any literary theme, literature has its background. During the Warring States Period, it was mainly practical, so the articles were all prose, and most of the articles were words; In the Ming Dynasty, the emptiness was mainly exaggerated, and most of the articles were useless eight-strand essays. In the Tang Dynasty, which advocated force, Song Ci could not prosper; In the weak Song Dynasty, Tang poetry could not be born. ”

"Martial arts novels mainly describe chivalrous warriors, and the chivalrous heroes in them mainly do two things, one is to act bravely and help the poor; The second is to crack down on corrupt officials and corrupt officials, which is the so-called way for heaven. Many readers like to read martial arts novels, in order to see the storylines of chivalrous heroes who act bravely, help the needy, fight against corrupt officials, and do the right thing for heaven. And these contents occupy as many as seven layers! “

Li Qing said with a smile: "Why readers like to watch these plots is essentially that there are too many dark forces in society, and the officials are more **." In reality, many people are helpless against the dark forces; For the official**, there is nothing to do, the so-called has an idea, there is no way, it can only read martial arts novels, find pleasure in martial arts novels, and get spiritual victory! ”

"A spiritual victory?"

The beautiful boss Lilac on the side thought about these two words.

"There are two kinds of victories in the world, one is the victory of reality, making money and making a fortune, fighting corrupt officials, and marrying beautiful women; There is another kind that can't be done in reality, but watching movies and novels, substituting myself into the book, it seems to have become the protagonist, making money, fighting corrupt officials, marrying a beautiful woman, realizing a spiritual fantasy and achieving a spiritual victory! ”

"What you mean by this is that there are few dark forces in Osaka, and the officials are relatively clean, so it is difficult to give birth to martial arts masters; The society in Tokyo is relatively chaotic, and the officials are serious, so most of the martial arts people were born here! Liu Rumeng's expression suddenly became solemn.

"Novels are social reactions, and novels mostly reflect social reality!" Li Qing said lightly: "At this point, there is not much difference between popular literature and pure literature!" ”

In a previous life, in the era of the Celestial Empire.

The old-school martial arts novels were mostly born in the Republic of China, and most of them were the Shanghai Tang generation. At that time, Shanghai could be described as full of gangs, many dark forces, and incomparable officials.

In the era of new martial arts novels, they were mainly born in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Hong Kong, Taiwan, etc., have entered the Asian Tigers, the speed of development is extremely fast, but in 670 years, Hong Kong can be described as full of gangs, many dark forces, and officials are also the most extreme; And the same is true in Taiwan, where there are many dark forces, many gangs, and officials.

At that time, it was the period of rapid development of martial arts novels, and it was the golden age of martial arts novels.

Until the 10s, in Taiwan, Hong Kong, etc., the power of gangs decreased, black became white, social security became better, and officials also decreased a lot. There may still be ** problems, but it is not as blatant as before, the appearance is ugly, and it has converged a lot.

At that time, martial arts novels entered the Silver Age, and even the Black Iron Age.

Thinking about these, thinking about some of the clean-up events before the crossing, Li Qingdao: "The era of the arrival of a harmonious society is the era of the end of martial arts novels. Just because at that time, there was no need for heroes to do the right thing for the sky, and the police uncle would do everything. And righteousness and courage are excessive, which is not conducive to social stability! ”

In a harmonious society, there are cameras everywhere, there is surveillance everywhere, and there is no need for some people to act bravely, and the camera is the best hero.

"Then you say that martial arts novels are essentially the product of unhealthy social birth?" The big reporter asked, there is some taste of going on the line.

"In the world, as long as there are corrupt officials, there are anti-corruption novels; If there are dark elements in society, there will be martial arts novels! Li Qing suddenly said: "In the near future, maybe in some years, martial arts novels will decline and decline." But some elements of martial arts novels will be integrated into novels of other themes! ”

In the years before he crossed over, martial arts novels completely declined.

Writing martial arts novels means hitting the streets.

And martial arts masterpieces are even rarer.

"Canghai" and "Heroes" can be described as the last elegy of martial arts novels.

At that time, martial arts novels mostly extended to infinite streams, or extended to game martial arts. But the martial arts novels that were born after can never surpass the achievements of the previous martial arts novels, and the martial arts novels at that time only derived other things from the martial arts of their predecessors, like some branches growing from the trunk of a tree.

It is like after a hundred schools of thought contended, for a long period of 2,000 years, most of the literati commented on and explained the study of a hundred schools, and no new academic views could be born.

After Jin Yong sealed the pen and Gu Long passed away, many people imitated these two and could not surpass; There are a lot of remakes of TV series and movies, but most of them are from different angles, commentaries and explanations, but the branches that grow on the trunk are destined to not exceed the height of the trunk.

Fortunately, he traveled to the era of Donghua, where martial arts novels are alternating between the old and the new, which is the rising stage, and it has not yet reached its peak, and there is still room for writing.
