Open the history of martial arts novels in Taiwan Province Province, and you can find catchy martial arts writers. Besides Gu Long and Jin Yong, who else? Most of the readers of the younger generation may avoid the important, so it's hard to say. In view of this, Ye Hongsheng, a famous martial arts novel critic, and Lin Baochun, a professor in Tamkang Chinese Department who started the course of martial arts novels in domestic universities 30 years ago, jointly wrote the 400,000-word History of the Development of Martial Arts Novels in Taiwan Province Province, which is the first research tool book with the richest information and the most informative content in the Chinese world at home and abroad, and can be called the epitome of martial arts writers and works in Taiwan Province Province in the past half century.
Yang Changnian, a professor of Chinese Department of Normal University who once wrote martial arts novels under the pseudonym of his master, Zhongyue Yun, a professor of Chinese Department of Soochow University and Suzhou University, who are good at quoting historical classics into martial arts creation, and other "Wulin predecessors" gathered together to congratulate the publication of the new book and hope to create a prosperous martial arts world.
Ye Hongsheng, who has been practicing martial arts since he was eight years old, first met the characters in The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan, the landlord of Zhu Huan, and then learned the outline of the story from his mother's mouth and the comic book The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan. By the time he became literate at the age of ten, he went to the bookstore and finally found half an incomplete biography of the swordsman of Shushan. The next year, he read Jin Yong's The Legend of the Condor Heroes and Sima Ling's The Story of Guan Ju, and he has forged an indissoluble bond with martial arts novels since then. Ye Hongsheng said that in the past 50 years, he has been wandering around the rivers and lakes, read more than a thousand swords, and had the honor to meet many martial arts masters such as Gu Long, Sima Ling, Murong Mei, Zhuge Qingyun, Qin Hong, Liu, and so on, which just witnessed the whole rise and fall of the creation of martial arts novels in Taiwan Province Province.
However, when it comes to the reasons for getting angry with books, apart from 199 1 Ye Hongsheng and Lin Bao Spring Festival couplets bought more than 700 old-fashioned martial arts novels from a bookstore, accounting for about one third of the martial arts novels in Taiwan Province Province, the biggest motivation is attributed to198' s going to the United States to participate in the academic seminar "Jin Yong's novels and China literature in the 20th century". In order to "tell the truth to the world", the two decided to work together. Their writing lasted for five years and was revised three times, which left a precious historical record for the development of martial arts novels in Taiwan Province Province.
In Taiwan Province Province, following the 1998 international symposium on Jin Yong's novels, the National Library and the Chinese Department of Tamkang University jointly held a symposium on Gu Long's novels on June 4th and 5th this year, which also contributed to the domestic martial arts research atmosphere. Regarding the historical position of Gu Long in the history of martial arts novels, Ye Hongsheng and Lin Baochun all regard him as a "new martial arts" revolutionary, which seems to have the status of "martial arts leader" and has the meaning of unifying the rivers and lakes. Generally speaking, the development history of Taiwan Province's martial arts novels mainly focuses on the development process of the content and form of Taiwan Province's martial arts creation, which should change with time. In terms of content architecture, the book is divided into four chapters, and each chapter marks the subjective mental outlook of a historical evolution period, covering the period from 195 1 to 2000. Among them, the first and second chapters are the focus of discussion, which explain the prosperity of flowers in the first twenty years in great detail; The third chapter summarizes the difficulties faced by Taiwan Province's martial arts creation in the low tide; The fourth chapter discusses the merits and demerits of the island's martial arts publishers and creators trying to find the "second spring" and the present situation of martial arts research.
When commenting on writers and their works, Ye Helin chose the works of ten major writers representing the efforts and achievements of the old, middle and young generations as the focus of discussion. Lang Honghuan, who made his debut for the first time, was the pioneer of martial arts creation in Taiwan Province Province, and created a precedent for professional writers to be serialized in newspapers and periodicals. In the 1960s, Longsheng Wo, Sima Ling, Zhuge Qingyun and Gu Long were neck and neck. Lu Yu and Qin Hong are outstanding writers in Taiwan Province, and their respective breakthroughs in the "New School of Martial Arts" are irreplaceable by other famous writers. And Liu Ze adopted different styles of "Jianghu Realism School" and compared them, showing their differences. In particular, the former's narrative of history and the reappearance of ancient laws and customs are even more commendable. As for Wen Ruian, although he made his debut late, he also caught the last bus in the ebb tide of martial arts, subverting the style of martial arts with "ultra-new/modern" methods and being unique.
For Ye Hongsheng, who was born in the history department, this new book is also his last work of "retiring from the Jianghu". Ye Hongsheng said with a smile that his real goal in life is to be a "military attache" to clean up the original works of martial arts novels, which are unique to China. Now this "Historical Records of Martial Arts", which is adapted from the works of Taiwan Province martial arts writers, has finally been completed, and my long-cherished wish has finally been realized, and I will live in glad you came this life. However, many of the early martial arts masters' works have been out of print for many years, so Ye Hongsheng decided to donate nearly 1,000 of his own martial arts novels to the martial arts novel research room of Tamkang University, so that later scholars can also enter the hall of martial arts literature in Taiwan Province Province. Ye Hongsheng also selected 105 original martial arts novels, and exhibited a retrospective exhibition of old martial arts books on the day of the new book release. When he tells the history and characteristics of these books in detail, it seems that he has returned to the era of "Little Xia". Above, he is looking for the green void, and below, he is looking for the treasure!
