What poetic allusions do the characters in Gu Long’s and Jin Yong’s novels come from?

Jin Yong and Gu Long are two giants in the world of martial arts novels, and comparisons between them have never stopped. But those who really love martial arts must have great respect for other martial arts novelists, even if they particularly admire them. This is the purpose of our article.

Mr. Jin Yong said in "The Eight Parts of the Dragon: Postscript": "Traditional Chinese novels without poetry are not decent after all." What he means is that martial arts novels are traditional novels, and martial arts novels must require tradition. The embellishment of poetry can make it more complete. In fact, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" quotes more than 40 ancient poems.

Both of them have very profound attainments in traditional Chinese studies. Just by looking at the names of people in their novels, you can deeply feel their attention to words. Today we will first take a look at what is so clever about the names in the novels of these two gentlemen?

"The Analects of Confucius·Yang Huo" says: "The evil purple is the one who seizes the vermilion." Collection by He Yan Explanation: "Zhu, the right color; purple, the good color of the middle color. Hate the evil and like the right color." Later, "Zhuzi" was used as a metaphor to confuse the right with evil or confuse the true with the false. The "Book of the Later Han·Chen Yuan Zhuan" says: "The wise man sees alone and is not confused by nobles." Therefore, it is also a metaphor for the quality of character.

2. Wang Yuyan

From "The Lustful Ode of the Dengtuzi" by Song Yu of Chu Dynasty in the Warring States Period: "A charming smile confuses Yangcheng and captivates Cai."

< p>3. Su Xinghe & Ding Chunqiu

The star river metaphors the infinite space, and the spring and autumn metaphors the infinite time. In addition, the only work "Inscribed on Qingcao Lake in Longyang County" by Tang Wenru, a poet in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties, has this poem: "When you are drunk, you don't know that the sky is on the water, and the boat is full of clear dreams that overwhelm the stars."

4. Wu Yazi & Li Qiushui

Both names come from "Zhuangzi", "My life has a limit, but I know it has no limit" and "Qiu Shui Pian"

5. Ren Yingying& Linghu Chong

The names of Linghu Chong and Ren Yingying are taken from the "Tao Te Ching": "If a big surplus rushes, its uses are endless." This implies that the two characters complement each other. There is also the following in "Nineteen Ancient Poems": "The water is full of water, and the pulse is speechless."

6. Yue Buqun

Yue Buqun comes from "The Analects of Confucius": " A gentleman is a group but not a party, and a villain is a party but not a group." It implies that Yue Buqun is a hypocrite and a true villain.

8. Murong Qiudi

From Bai Juyi's "Pipa Xing", the first sentence is "The Xunyang River sees off guests on the first night, and the maple leaves and flowers rustle in autumn."

Mr. Jin Yong is famous for his use of allusions. For example, Guo Jing and Yang Kang imply "Jingkang's shame", and Qiao Feng's "Qiao" also implies that this name is a disguise, but it is actually Xiao Feng. The beauty of Gu Long's name is that the name is not only romantic, but also closely fits the character. For example, Ximen Chuixue actually blows blood, Reaching for the Stars sounds like a gangster, and Ye Gucheng sounds like a cold and elegant man.

Some people think that the tenderness of literature and art and the bloody storms of martial arts novels are ultimately incompatible, but the world exists because of contradictions. We need the iron bones of the sword and the end of the world, and the tenderness of the flowing water on the bridge. posture.

Jin Yong means elegance, and Cologne means freedom and romance. Which style do you prefer?
