Why didn't Jin Yong write a modern wuxia novel?

2025-02-22 20:54
Although there was a saying since ancient times that "there is no circle without rules", rules were dead, but people were alive. How could a person's thoughts be rigidly fixed? If a person was "bound to death" by rigid rules, would there be any meaning to life? For decades, the concept of Chinese Wuxia had been rigidly defined as "ancient times", which had long become a serious "common problem". It could only be "ancient times" but not "modern times". What was wrong with it? If he continued to suffer from the common illness, what would this be? Even the country's leader, Deng Xiao Ping, said to "free the mind". Then why would he have any qualms about using it in a wuxia novel or in the modern world? Moreover, what is "martial arts" and "chivalrous"? The combination of "martial arts" and "chivalrous" breeds infinite values. Here, I can shamelessly say that the characters in the comic novels of European countries or Asian countries are chivalrous. They are imbued with the spirit of "chivalrous" and social values. Especially the works of foreign comic novel writers emphasize justice and punishment of evil. Evil will eventually be defeated by justice. It was a kind of chivalrous spirit. As everyone knew, Jin Yong's novels described the flying heroes and divine powers as unscientific. What was the difference between this and the strange moves of the Fantastic Four, the special abilities of the Daredevil, and the spider silk of Spiderman? Since they were all describing unscientific characters, why could they only write about ancient times and not modern times? Jin Yong was the founder of the new school of martial arts, led by Gu Long, Liang Yusheng, and other new martial arts novelists. If he could not play a leading role in his novels, wouldn't such a writer be a layman with backward thoughts who didn't keep up with the changes of the times? Jin Yong's novels that revolved around the historical figures in China were a kind of "false value" because his novels would allow readers to misunderstand the historical figures in the opposite direction. As everyone knew, the historical figures in Jin Yong's martial arts novels were all living people with flesh and blood, not gods, such as Huang Shang, the mysterious man (Ji Gong Li Xiuyuan), the ancestor of the Quanzhen Sect, Wang Chongyang, the Quanzhen Seven Sons, Chen Jingnan, the ancestor of the Wudang Sect, Zhang Sanfeng, and so on. In history, these people might not be the strongest in martial arts. It was quite possible that they knew martial arts. Jin Yong exaggerated it in his novels. At least, the history books would not tell the future generations. On the contrary, there were many famous martial arts figures in contemporary China's history, such as Huo Yuanjia, Ye Wen, and Bruce Lee, the founder of Jeet Kune Do, who was worshipped by the whole world. So many of them were real martial arts masters in history, especially Bruce Lee, the founder of Jeet Kune Do. He could transform the word "martial arts" in China for thousands of years into "kung fu fighting". He wrote the word "kung fu" into the English dictionary. Moreover, he invented the nunchaku and dedicated it to people all over the world for self-defense. Such an achievement was definitely not inferior to Zhang Sanfeng's original Taiji. However, for a pinnacle Wuxia author like Jin Yong and Gu Long, even if they couldn't write it into a novel, they could still use virtual characters to express some of the values of historical Wuxia. Why was that?

Why didn't Jin Yong specifically write about Zhang Sanfeng?

Mr. Jin Yong's novels " The Sword of Green Blood " and " The Return of the Condor Heroes " both mentioned Zhang Sanfeng, but Jin Yong did not specifically write about Zhang Sanfeng's story. This could be due to the following reasons: Zhang Sanfeng is a fictional character created by Mr. Jin Yong himself and does not belong to any real historical figures. Therefore, Mr. Jin Yong did not have the historical background and information to create a story that specifically described Zhang Sanfeng. When Mr. Jin Yong wrote novels, he paid attention to the character's personality, experience, and background of the story rather than the specific appearance and martial arts of the characters. Therefore, when creating Zhang Sanfeng's story, he might pay more attention to the character's inner world and personality rather than his martial arts. As a historical figure, Zhang Sanfeng's life and behavior have many controversial and different views. Therefore, when writing Zhang Sanfeng's story, we need to take into account the views and cultural backgrounds of different reader groups, which may make Mr. Jin Yong feel challenged and pressured. Although Mr. Jin Yong's novels involved many historical figures, he did not specifically write the story of Zhang Sanfeng. This may be due to various considerations.

Why didn't Jin Yong write a novel with a historical background of the Han or Tang Dynasties?

Mr. Jin Yong is a famous martial arts novelist. His novels usually use historical backgrounds as inspiration but also add some fictional elements. As for why Mr. Jin Yong didn't write novels with a historical background of the Han or Tang Dynasties, it might have something to do with his personal experience and cultural background. Mr. Jin Yong was born in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. He grew up in Hong Kong and moved to the United States. His personal experience was not related to the historical background of the Han or Tang Dynasties, so he might lack understanding of the history and culture of these two periods. In addition, Mr. Jin Yong's works are deeply influenced by Chinese traditional culture. The Han and Tang Dynasties are very important periods in Chinese history. The cultural and historical background of these two periods may also have restrictions on his creation. Mr. Jin Yong's works often pay attention to character description and plot design, and historical background is an important factor because it can provide background and plot support for characters and stories. Although the historical background of the Han and Tang Dynasties was important, if it could not provide enough plot and character setting, it might affect the quality of the novel. Mr. Jin Yong was a man with profound cultural heritage and extensive life experience. His works were not only literary works of art but also cultural heritage. He could choose different historical and cultural backgrounds as the background of his novel according to his own interests and creative needs, but he also needed to consider the complexity of the historical and cultural background, as well as the possibilities and limitations of his creation.

Why didn't Jin Yong continue to write the sequels of " Demigods and Semi-Devils "?

Jin Yong was a famous novelist. Why didn't Jin Yong win the Nobel Prize?

Jin Yong is a famous novelist. Why didn't Jin Yong win the Nobel Prize? Although Mr. Jin Yong's novels were widely read and loved and had a profound impact on Chinese literature and culture, he did not win the Nobel Prize. This was mainly because the Nobel Prize selection criteria and requirements were very strict. Although Mr. Jin Yong's novels described the grudges of Jianghu and the loyalty of heroes as the theme, they also involved social reality, historical events, and human nature exploration. They had very high literary value. However, his novel style and plot were relatively simple and lacked innovation. Moreover, his works did not directly involve some internationally influential topics, so it was difficult for him to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. Of course, Mr. Jin Yong, as an outstanding person, his works have had a profound impact on the development of Chinese literature and culture. His contribution is immeasurable.

Why didn't Jin Yong write a martial arts novel set in the Sui and Tang Dynasties?

Mr. Jin Yong was a famous wuxia novelist. His works were famous for their twists and turns in the plot and his character portrayals. His wuxia novels often involved historical backgrounds, especially ancient Chinese historical backgrounds such as the Sui and Tang Dynasties. However, Mr. Jin Yong did not write a martial arts novel set in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. This was because the historical background of the Sui and Tang Dynasties was very complicated, involving many dynasties and political systems. At the same time, there were many historical figures and events. These required very in-depth research to write a good novel. In addition, the Sui and Tang Dynasties were also a period of rich literary works. There were many famous historical novels and literary works such as "Water Margins" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". These works also influenced the creation of martial arts novels, making martial arts novels no longer limited to traditional historical backgrounds. Therefore, although Mr. Jin Yong had a deep understanding and love of Chinese history and culture, he did not write a martial arts novel set in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. This was also because he considered the difficulty of creation and the complexity of the historical background.
