Why is Tian Xia Ba Sing so great and has written so many works in his twenties?
Personal success is not entirely limited by age
It is indeed not an exaggeration to say that the world's most famous singer has become famous all over the world just after he started his career.
First of all, his most famous masterpiece, the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" series, can be said to be the first type of novel tomb-robbing novels. It is the most widely spread and well-known in the Chinese-speaking world after Jin Yong's martial arts novels. The highest series of novels.
In 2006, he became an instant hit with "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Wonderful Ancient City", which quickly led the best-selling craze. In less than two years, he created "Longling Fans" one after another with the speed of inspiration. He was only 28 years old when he created the nine-part "Ghost Blowing Lamp" series in Cave, Yunnan Worm Valley, Kunlong Shrine, Huangpizi Tomb, etc.
What are other world-famous writers doing at the age of 28?
As far as I know, Haruki Murakami was struggling with debt while working as a bar owner; Hemingway was still a little-known reporter and was planning to resign at any time; Saramago He was a solid wage earner and worked many jobs such as painter, welder, insuranceman, draftsman, and surveyor. It was not until he was 60 years old that he began to enter the golden age of creation.
What about the world’s most popular singer? Less than thirty years old, he has already ushered in the golden period of his creation, and has become a phenomenal writer in the Chinese publishing circle, building an unprecedented and bizarre tomb robbing world.
These works have been adapted into films and games, attracting more audiences and becoming unrivaled super IPs.
A person’s knowledge does not entirely depend on experience
As we all know, the theme of Tian Xia Ba Sing closely revolves around tomb robbing, but it is obvious that he is neither a writer born in a major nor a A cultural relic worker with a major in college, he studied fine arts in college, and his first job after graduation was mining-related futures investment.
But why did he have a systematic understanding of the astronomy, geography, Zhouyi Bagua, Feng Shui, humanities and historical background involved in tomb robbing, and vividly implant them into the novel? Perhaps it stems from childhood exposure and the strong interest that arose from it; the second aspect stems from the author’s writing talent, as well as the accumulation of reading and experience before creation.
He was born in Tianjin (one said Shenyang, the answerer is not sure) and grew up in Inner Mongolia. His parents happened to be employees of the geophysical exploration team. He followed his parents since he was a child and lived in the compound of his work unit. Their job is to explore mineral deposits in various parts of Inner Mongolia. In the process, they will inevitably encounter various ancient tombs that have not been excavated and hear all kinds of vivid anecdotes. These have become the talking points of the previous generation after work, inspiring It aroused his curiosity and planted the seeds of imagination in his heart.
The starting point for Tian Xia Ba Sing's writing was the Lotus Powder Gossip section of the Tianya Forum. Inspired by the large number of posts in this section, he became passionate about creation and began to write the series "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". Perhaps he never thought that his life path would change dramatically.
In an interview with a reporter, he once said frankly: "I think I am a particularly uneducated person. I never thought that I would be a writer or engage in any work related to writing." Just watching this kind of thing is not enough, what should I do? Write it yourself. So I wrote "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" and wrote a million words in one year. ?
On the other hand, he also said that he likes to read classical literature, such as "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" and "Water Margin". These works influenced his future writing style; while engaged in mineral futures investment, During the process, he came into contact with a large number of Feng Shui masters and accumulated a lot of insights while dealing with them, which became inspiration and material for his future creations.
Ancient inheritance, mysterious relics, strange curses, strange adventures, the unpredictable nature of human hearts, and the preciousness of friendship? The "Ghost Blowing Lamp" series completed by Tianxia Ba has indeed created a classic of the era.
This just proves that a person’s intelligence is neither entirely limited by age nor entirely dependent on experience, timing and motivation, talent and diligence, accumulation and thinking, and can often achieve unexpected results. The work of one man.
