Please tell me the difference between Jin Yong and Gu Long.

First of all, the background of the novel is different. Jin Yong's novels have both historical shadows and new artistic creations. He wrote about Qianlong and Chen Gelao in Sword Book, Kangxi and Ao Bai in The Duke Of Mount Deer, Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da in Dragon Slayer, all well-documented celebrities. He used the artistic technique of three-point historical novels, which is half true and half false, and there is truth in the false. Gu Long, on the other hand, writes novels regardless of history, and the novel environment he set has almost no clear background of the times, which is both imaginative and reasonable. Second, the descriptions of social environment and customs are different. Jin Yong often has a clear geographical position when describing scenery. Writing about Jiangnan, Saibei, Shaolin and Wudang has detailed and specific changes and descriptions, which gives people the influence of historical knowledge. And Gu Long writes about small towns, villages, mountains and rivers, but he is handy, "out of nothing" and plays it to the fullest. One depends on realism and art processing, and the other on passion to conceive an ideal society; Can appreciate the social customs in Jin Yong's novels; Gu Long's novels reveal the human world. Third, the structure is different. Jin Yong not only got rid of the old style of martial arts novels, but also inherited the rigorous structure of traditional literature, because he used western psychological description methods from time to time when writing movie scripts, enriching the multi-level and multi-perspective structure. His novels are open and closed in one go, and his history is not rigid. The legendary swordsman is a masterpiece in this field. Some of Jin Yong's novels, which are as long as five volumes and more than one million words, have distinct themes and rigorous ideas from beginning to end, which shows their solid artistic foundation. In contrast, Gu Long doesn't pay much attention to structure. He consciously introduced the expressive techniques of western European literature, writing all the way, strange peaks protruding and suspense setting, which was confusing. However, due to the excessive pursuit of bizarre plots, it is inevitable to ignore the tail. Because of Gu Long's brilliant talent, although there are flaws in the structure from time to time, because of his novel writing style, strange imagination and witty remarks, it has also opened the eyes of readers and formed a new style of martial arts novels. Fourth, they also have their own ingenious methods in the connection of stories. Jin Yong organizes stories by interlocking plots; Gu Long attracts readers by creating suspense. The former makes people feel the author's imagination more and more, while the latter makes readers enter a confusing art world. Fifth, each has his own advantages in shaping typical figures, and each has his own preference for artistic models. Apart from Wei Xiaobao, all the sentient beings in Jin Yong's works are best at depicting unpretentious heroes, such as Guo Jing and Qiao Feng, who are kind, loyal, generous and even a little stiff and humble. Gu Long, on the other hand, is better at describing romantic figures, such as Lu Xiaofeng, Chu Liuxiang, Li Xunhuan and Jiang Yuer. In contrast, the witty characters in Jin Yong's works (except Wei Xiaobao) are inferior; The iron sum written by Gu Long is not as wonderful and touching as that written by Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang. Sixth, the biggest difference between Jin Yong and Gu Long lies in language expression. Jin Yong's style is another change on the basis of Liang Yusheng's new martial arts novels. His language is sophisticated and calm. He not only succeeded in inheriting the traditional language of China's classical novels, but also integrated the brushwork of new literature and art. Because of the seamless combination of the two, old readers were not bored, and new readers applauded. Gu Long pursues Europeanization of the language of martial arts novels. He is good at writing short sentences and line by line, making more epigrams in the dialogue, and explaining the ins and outs of things in multiple paragraphs and levels. He tried to write beautiful, witty and philosophical sentences, giving people a brand-new pattern. Of course, Gu Long's innovation in language can't be said to be absolutely successful, but Gu Long's new style broke through the original style of martial arts novels and formed a new language art style. In fact, the difference between Jin Yong's and Gu Long's works is, in the final analysis, caused by the writer's own personality and knowledge. Jin Yong, formerly known as Cha, graduated from Chongqing Central University of Political Science, majoring in international law. Later, he studied at Soochow Law School, specializing in law. Later, he worked as a reporter in Southeast Daily and Ta Kung Pao, compiled international news pages and supplements, set foot in the film industry, wrote plays, and wrote film reviews under the pseudonym "Lin Huan". Jin Yong acted as a screenwriter for "Beauty" starring Xia Meng. Later, I joined the literary world and specialized in martial arts novels. At the same time, he also writes beautiful remarks and is a well-known political commentator. Later, he became the president of Ming Pao and stepped into politics. Judging from Jin Yong's mental journey, he has rich experience and profound knowledge. Therefore, his martial arts novels not only show China's profound knowledge of classical literature, but also have a good understanding of Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, movies, history and natural science. He is a learned man, and even Gu Long admits that Jin Yong's knowledge is deep and wide. In contrast, Gu Long's path is relatively simple. He was a poor student and refused to be a teacher after graduating from college. His writing career is very early. As early as when he was studying, he began to write new literature, love novels and prose, and later he was forced to embark on the road of martial arts novel writer because of life. Gu Long's personality is completely different from Jin Yong's. Jin Yong is strict, calm and modest, and meticulous in his work and creation. Gu Long is wild, lonely and eccentric. He likes drinking and having fun, but he can also bury himself in writing. His laziness and concentration make him a strange person and a freak in the martial arts world. There is no doubt that Gu Long's knowledge is not as profound as Jin Yong's, but because he is a man who pursues freedom, his works can be out of the box, unconventional, deliberately innovative and spread to the world. It is said that Jin Yong likes to play Go, but he doesn't invite guests home easily. On one occasion, he invited Chen Zude, the national player of China Weiqi, to live at home for several months, because he was obsessed with the study of Weiqi, and Weiqi was very particular about layout, which could tell the winner. Jin Yong is very deeply aware of this. He not only arranged the Go competition in martial arts novels, such as the Eight Dragons Tactics; Moreover, when he wrote novels, he also paid special attention to the rigor of structure. Gu Long is a drinker who has no wine and no joy. So nine times out of ten, the heroes he wrote were born in large numbers. These two details seem to show different styles of the work. You can also find the shadow of the writer's hobby and personality from his works. Generally speaking, Jin Yong is a gifted scholar whose novels cover a wide range, so Hong Kong, Taiwan and the United States have "Jin Xue" research societies; Gu Long is a poet. He is relying on his endless passion to create novels and create a new artistic world. Jin Yong stopped writing martial arts novels in the mid-1970s. He knows that he is too good and will accept this fact. His novels are first-rate, but he is not satisfied. He still revised, polished and sorted out the first edition, so Jin Yong's martial arts novels published today are more perfect. Gu Long died unfortunately in middle age. He has no time to finish the 68 martial arts novels he wrote magnificently. Therefore, in terms of quality, Jin Yong's novels generally surpass Gu Long's novels, but Gu Long is worthy of being an innovator of martial arts novels after Jin Yong. If, for example, Jin Yong's achievements are poems in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, then Gu Long is poems in the middle Tang Dynasty. Although the poetry in the middle Tang Dynasty did not surpass the poetry in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, it had its unique literary position after all.
