A century-old history of martial arts novels. From Huanzhu Louzhu down, there have been many famous writers, but Jin Yong is the most famous and has the longest reputation, sweeping the Chinese world. With his unbridled imagination, he wrote 15 works in more than ten years.
"The flying snow shoots the white deer, and the laughing book hero relies on the blue mandarin duck." The 14 characters in this couplet are exactly the first characters in the titles of his 14 martial arts novels. There is another film that is not included, that is "Yue Nv Sword".

What many people don’t know is that it was a very accidental opportunity for Jin Yong to start writing martial arts novels.
In 1955, the next evening newspaper of "Ta Kung Pao" had a young man who was very successful in writing martial arts novels. He was a colleague of Jin Yong. His name was Liang Yusheng. That year, Liang Yusheng's martial arts novel was about to be completed, and his writing had reached a period of exhaustion. Therefore, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper invited Jin Yong to continue writing martial arts novels.
Although he had never written a novel before, Jin Yong agreed to take over Liang Yusheng's task due to his understanding and love of martial arts novels. He separated the word "yong" from his name and made a pen name. "Book, Sword, Enmity and Enmity" was his first martial arts work, and it became an instant hit.
After the success of this book, Jin Yong created other works such as "Blue Blood Sword", "Snow Mountain Flying Fox" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in just a few years, which became popular throughout Hong Kong. In more than ten years, he wrote 15 masterpieces.
html In the early 1980s, a magazine in Guangzhou began to serialize "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and Jin Yong's martial arts novels officially entered the mainland. To this day, even if you have never read his original works, the films and TV series that his works have been adapted into in China, Taiwan and Taiwan may be a sign of your growth.Weng Meiling played Huang Rong in 1983 "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Although the writer Wang Shuo once criticized Jin Yong's novels as one of the four major vulgarities in modern society (also including Jackie Chan movies, Qiong Yao TV series and the Four Heavenly Kings), Jin Yong did not think this was a bad criticism. He said that vulgarity is Approach a lot of people, or a lot of people like it.
This is indeed the case. Jin Yong’s martial arts novels have been welcomed by readers from all walks of life. He has been interviewed by the top leaders of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places, and is also loved by ordinary men, women, and children.
In 1972, the serialization of "The Deer and the Cauldron" ended, and when Jin Yong announced that he would close the book, many readers regretted it.

In 1924, Jin Yong was born in a scholarly family in Haining, Zhejiang.
The Cha family in Haining was a distinguished family. During the Kangxi period, the imperial examination myth of "ten scholars in one discipline, uncles and nephews, and five Hanlin" was created. In modern times, there were also industrialist Zha Jimin, educator Zha Liangzhao, and representative poet and translator poet Zha Liangzheng (Mu Dan) of the Nine Leaf School.

There are also many familiar names in the collateral marriage relationship of Jin Yong's genealogy, such as:
Xu Zhimo - Jin Yong's cousin (Jin Yong's mother Xu Lu is Xu Zhimo's cousin);
Jiang Baili - Jin Yong uncle (Cha Pinzhen, the first wife of the famous military strategist Jiang Baili, is Jin Yong’s aunt);
Qian Xuesen - Jin Yong's cousin-in-law (Jiang Baili's daughter Jiang Ying is the wife of Qian Xuesen, the "Father of Aerospace" and "Two Bombs and One Star")
Qiong Yao - Jin Yong's cousin-in-law (Jin Yong's cousin Cha Liangmin married Qiong Yao) His third uncle Yuan Xingyun)
...
Under the influence of the scholarly environment, Jin Yong spent a comfortable childhood.
When the Anti-Japanese War broke out in 1937, 13-year-old Jin Yong went south with his school and began a journey of thousands of miles into exile. From safety to danger, from wealth to poverty, Jin Yong did not become decadent in the ups and downs of war.
When he was 15 years old, Jin Yong worked with two classmates to compile a book "Dedicated to Junior High School Applicants". Based on the examination questions, he made some model answers for the students, which is roughly equivalent to today's "Five Years to Simulate Three Years of College Entrance Examination" Such reference books. The book was very successful and made them a lot of money.
Some people say that Jin Yong is the most profitable scholar and knight. In this regard, Jin Yong has already shown his talent in middle school. Jin Yong, who seemed gentle and kind, had a very wild side when he was young. When
was in school, because he was dissatisfied with certain behaviors of the school, he wrote an article to satirize the dean of students. He also argued with the dean of students in college. As a result, he was expelled from the school twice. The worst thing was that after he was expelled for the second time, because he had no money, he had no food or clothing. Jin Yong solved his livelihood problem by asking for help from a cousin named Jiang.

As a master of martial arts novels, this identity may be his most famous one. And another label that is indelible in Jin Yong's life is that of a newspaperman, an outstanding newspaperman.
In 1947, he entered Shanghai's "Ta Kung Pao" and stood out from 3,000 applicants. The next year, the Hong Kong edition of "Ta Kung Pao" was founded, and Jin Yong was sent to Hong Kong. He was 24 years old that year. At that time, Hong Kong was less developed than Shanghai, but Jin Yong said, "I have always liked adventures in my life and lived a novel life."
writer Li Ao once criticized Jin Yong's martial arts novels on the show, "What the hell are they?" When it comes to the chivalrous part, Jin Yong himself can't do anything, "I don't tell the truth, I don't do the truth." However, as a reporter, Jin Yong does not seem to be what Li Ao said.
In 1959, 35-year-old Jin Yong founded Ming Pao. He said:
"When I ran Ming Pao, I just wanted to be able to uphold justice and tell the truth to readers."
His editorial articles were published once a day at their peak, and his martial arts novels were almost always updated on a daily basis. The rhythm of progress has been uninterrupted for decades.
Stills from the TV series "Dragon"
Writing martial arts with one hand and editorials with the other laid the foundation for his life. In 30 years, Jin Yong built "Ming Pao" into a very influential newspaper in Hong Kong.
When this newspaper was founded, it had a circulation of only 6,000 copies. During these difficult times, all staff received a 20% discount on their salaries. Jin Yong said, "Everyone endured it together with me."

Jin Yong had a rich life experience and was awarded many honors. He was a famous martial arts novelist, an outstanding journalist, a scholar, and a leader in the Chinese cultural circle. One of the important figures and so on, he has witnessed numerous major historical events in China in the last century.
In 1972, Jin Yong closed the book; in 1989, on the 30th anniversary of the founding of "Ming Pao", Jin Yong resigned as president; in the 1990s, Jin Yong sold the "Ming Pao" group to businessmen and withdrew from the business world; in 2007, Jin Yong resigned from the School of Humanities of Zhejiang University The position of dean...
Jin Yong is gone, but the martial arts world he created has accompanied the growth of generations of people.
He has passed away. Looking back at the classic works I have read in those years, I realize that Jin Yong is all our youth...
"Books and Swords of Enmity"
In 1955, 30-year-old Cha Liangyong used the pen name of "Jin Yong" , began to serialize "The Book of Swords and Enmities" and embarked on the path of creating martial arts novels.
"Book, Sword and Enmity" has also become the Jin Yong novel with the most adaptations into film and television dramas to date.
In 1976, TVB started filming the first Jin Yong martial arts masterpiece "Book and Sword Enmity", with Zheng Shaoqiu playing the third role. After the show was broadcast, it took the Chinese-speaking region by storm, and Zheng Shaoqiu became the leading martial arts niche student.
Jin Yong fans all know that Princess Xiangxiang is the most beautiful woman in Jin Yong's works.
This drama completely follows the original work. Although the filming is crude from today's perspective, it finally created a precedent for TVB Jin Yong dramas.
"Blooded Sword"
In 1956, "Hong Kong Commercial Daily" serialized "Blooded Sword" throughout the year. Everyone in Hong Kong competed to read it, and Jin Yong's fame soared.
This is Jin Yong's second novel, starting from the story of Xia Xueyi, the "Golden Snake Prince". The plot has ups and downs, and the hatred of the country and the family are intertwined with the love of his children.
Lin Jiadong's version of "Blue Blood Sword", this version has undergone extraordinary changes, the only highlight is the golden snake man played by Jiang Hua.
Jiang Hua vividly expressed Xia Xueyi's aloofness, extremeness, cruelty and evil charm, without losing the tenderness of a tough man, giving him a charm that surpasses the original work.
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes"
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is Jin Yong's first full-length novel. Many characters appear one after another, layer by layer, and hidden foreshadowing.
Among all Jin Yong's works, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is one of the most influential and most loved by readers.
It became popular in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia during its serialization period, and newspapers were sold out every day as soon as it came out. At that time, people were more crazy about Jin Yong's novels than they are now about TV dramas. After reading it once, it was not enough, and they watched it several times.
Huang Rihua and Weng Meiling's version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"
83 version of "The Condor Heroes" was the first Jin Yong drama introduced to the mainland. It caused a sensation as soon as it was broadcast and became the earliest classic martial arts drama. It also made many people who didn't know who Jin Yong was start to Pay attention to Jin Yong’s martial arts.
A memory that a generation will never forget
Ni Kuang said that Huang Rong is the whole soul of the Condor Shooting. Before filming, TVB spent a month auditioning Huang Rong. There were many beauties who came to audition, but none of them were satisfactory until Weng Meiling appeared...
Weng Meiling's Huang Rong, with a charming smile, suddenly lost her luster.
Miss Weng's beauty died young, and many people lamented the loss of the eternal Ronger...
Although the shooting technology seems crude today, it cannot cover up the brilliance of the actors. Huang Rihua's Guo Jing, Miao Qiaowei's Yang Kang... They have a good impression of Jin Yong's characters. The interpretations are all spot on.
This is called the Four Heavenly Kings
Some people who became famous many years later were just minor players in this drama, such as Stephen Chow, Francis Ng, Carina Lau, Ouyang Zhenhua... It can be said that it is the most luxurious lineup of minor actors in history.
Nowadays, most of the viewers who watched the 1983 version of The Condor are now parents. When the familiar music melody sounds, the viewers are already their children.
The music composed by Huang Zhan and Gu Jiahui for this drama has reached the musical peak of martial arts dramas.
When the voices of Luo Wen and Zhen Ni sounded, it still made people feel excited, and the sleeping martial arts dream was reawakened.
The music is still there, but the martial arts dream has long since passed away with that era.
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes"
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is a martial arts novel written by Mr. Jin Yong from 1959 to 1961. It is the second part of Jin Yong's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" series.
At that time, Jin Yong founded "Ming Pao" by himself, but the sales of the newspaper were not good, so he began to serialize "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in the newspaper. From then on, "Ming Pao" became a best-seller.
Andy Lau and Chen Yulian's version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"
In 1983, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" created an unprecedented viewing frenzy in Hong Kong and made Andy Lau famous.
But what makes Mr. Jin Yong most satisfied with this version of the Divine Condor is Chen Yulian who plays the role of Little Dragon Girl. Chen Yulian was born with the temperament of a little dragon girl, pure and pure, and lovable.
Affectionate
"The Heaven and the Dragon Sword"
After serializing "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "Ming Pao" has established a firm foothold and become one of the newspapers with the largest circulation in Hong Kong.
Then Jin Yong began to write "The Legend of Heaven and Sword of the Dragon", and spent two years bringing a successful conclusion to the "Trilogy of the Condor Shooting Trilogy".
Zheng Shaoqiu, Wang Mingquan and Zhao Yazhi's version of "The Heaven and the Dragon Sword"
"The Heaven and the Dragon Sword" in 1978 is TVB's second Jin Yong drama. At that time, Zhao Yazhi had just won Miss Hong Kong's Most Photogenic Miss. As a newcomer, she played Zhou Zhiruo and became an instant hit with this role.
Zheng Shaoqiu is indeed the best choice for the knight. Mr. Jin Yong even wrote an inscription for him: The knight on the screen, the heroic style, the family Luo Wuji, enters people's dreams.
"The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Sword" is one of Jin Yong's most remade works. Generally speaking, each version has its own merits. If we want to talk about the most ideal lineup:
Su Youpeng's Zhang Wuji, Gigi Gigi's Zhao Min, Zhou Haimei's Zhou Zhiruo, Qiu Shuzhen's Xiao Zhao... A combination like ...
can only exist in the fantasies of drama fans.
"Flying Fox in the Snow Mountain"
Some people say that the 1991 Taiwan TV version of "Flying Fox in the Snow Mountain" starring Meng Fei killed other versions with just one song...
"The Secret of Liancheng"
Compared with the grievances and hatreds in many of Jin Yong's works In a narrow sense, "Liancheng Jue" is a relatively alternative work, talking about the dangers of the world and the greed and ugliness of people's hearts.
"Xia Ke Xing"
The great poet Li Bai has a poem called "Xia Ke Xing". The title of Jin Yong's "Xia Ke Xing" comes from Li Bai's poem, and the story of the novel is also closely related to this poem.
It not only talks about chivalry, but also incorporates Jin Yong's views on life and human nature.
In 1989, Tony Leung starred in his last TVB drama "The Heroes".
After that, he moved to the big screen, which led to the future actor Tony Leung.
"The Eight Parts of the Dragon"
"The Eight Parts of the Dragon", Jin Yong's pinnacle work, started serialization in 1963 and took 4 years to write.
There is also an interesting anecdote during this period: Jin Yong went to Europe for a month and asked Ni Kuang to temporarily ghostwrite, and asked him not to write the people in it to death.
Ni Kuang didn’t like the character Azi, and couldn’t let her die, so he wrote her blind.
Jin Yong came back and was angry. Ni Kuang lied and said: It was not me who blinded him, but Ding Chunqiu.
Liang Jiaren's version of "Dragon"
html In the early 1980s, TVB concentrated manpower and material resources to start filming "Dragon". This is why this version is both the protagonist and the green leaves.At that time, Huang Rihua was not Qiao Feng, but the young monk Xu Zhu.
In 1997, TVB once again remade "Dragon", also called "97 version of Tianlong", which created the first ratings in Asia that year. Two years later, it was introduced to the mainland and became unstoppable, with 18 local TV stations rushing to air it in prime time.
Let's put it this way, when you turned on the TV at that time, almost no matter which station was broadcasting this drama.
"The Swordsman"
"The Swordsman" belongs to Jin Yong's later works. The novel has no historical background, but has a strong symbolic meaning.
In Tsui Hark's "The Swordsman: The Invincible East", Ren Woxing said to Linghu Chong: As long as there are people, there will be grievances, and if there are grievances, there will be rivers and lakes. People are the world, how do you quit? The line
is also an interpretation of the original novel.
Chow Yun-fat and Chen Xiuzhu's version of "The Swordsman"
You may not know that Chow Yun-fat played Linghu Chong before Ma Ge, and it was also the first "The Swordsman" in the history of TV series.
Some people say that the characters in Jin Yong's novels, especially the male and female protagonists, can always make actors famous, but the role of Linghu Chong has attracted countless male stars to compete.
This also includes Chow Yun-fat. Fa Ge is handsome enough, but after all, he is not suitable for costume appearance. On the contrary, Shanghai Xu Wenqiang in a trench coat and white scarf is even more fascinating.
Handsome and intelligent, free and unrestrained, infatuated, loyal and filial...it seems that all the advantages of countless male protagonists in Jin Yong's novels can be found in Linghu Chong.
Lu Songxian and Liang Peiling's version of "The Swordsman"
Lui Songxian's Linghu Chong also fits the original work very well, both in appearance and acting skills.
"The Deer and the Cauldron"
In September 1972, after completing "The Deer and the Cauldron", Jin Yong decided to stop writing martial arts novels.
"The Deer and the Cauldron" is the longest one with the most characters among Jin Yong's works. It is called "Jin Yong's first book" by Ni Kuang.
Tony Leung's version of "The Deer and the Cauldron"
In the early 1980s, ghost comedy became popular in Hong Kong. Tony Leung became an instant star with the rogue and bad Wei Xiaobao in "The Deer and the Cauldron".
At that time, there was a saying in Hong Kong that "Everyone knows Wei Xiaobao." Even Tony Leung would be recognized when walking on the street: Look, Wei Xiaobao! The fledgling Tony Leung plays tricks, flatters, and chases girls, making the quirky Wei Xiaobao come alive.
Jin Yong also praised Tony Leung's Wei Xiaobao as the one I am most satisfied with.
The role of Wei Xiaobao in Jordan Chan's version of "The Deer and the Cauldron"
has been played by Tony Leung, Dicky Cheung, Stephen Chow, Huang Xiaoming, etc., but many viewers still like Jordan Chan's version the most.
Before Xiaobao, Jordan Chan had already become famous with his role as "Pheasant Brother" in "Young and Dangerous". Smart, smooth, yuppie, loyal, philandering... From then on, the audience's impression of Chen Xiaochun was either a pheasant or Wei Xiaobao.
Jin Yong's novels are not only popular for TV series adaptations, but also for movie adaptations. Please watch the classic scene with music:

Which one of us is more attractive?

Kiss me
The comedy of "East Comes West", the affection of "Ashes of Time"...
Time certainly has feelings and filters, so that we give extra points to past works.
However, time is also a filter. Whether it is a classic or a waste, time is the best answer. A true classic that will be discussed and missed for many years to come. The remake of
may produce another classic, but there will never be another Jin Yong in the world.
Gu Long (first from the left) and Jin Yong (second from the right) are rarely in the same frame
"The snow falls in the sky and shoots the white deer, the laughing book hero leans on the blue mandarin duck".
Jin Yong wrote 15 full-length martial arts novels in 17 years. These 14 words are also a summary of him.
If you look at these works together, you will find that it is a chivalrous arena that is inseparable from the historical process, a romantic and colorful Jin Yong universe, which is even more exciting than the American Marvel universe.
Someone once asked Jin Yong: How should we spend our life?
Jin Yong said: Make a big fuss and leave quietly.
Mr. Jin Yong really had such a happy life, half a lifetime of freedom, swords and swords, and the world was prosperous.
Now that my husband has left, you and I have to say goodbye. The rivers and lakes are far away, and the shadow of the sword is long. What he took away is a legend about the rivers and lakes, but what he cannot take away is everyone's best dream about the martial arts world.
Some people say: The only writer at all times and in all over the world who had a readership of hundreds of millions when he was alive is Jin Yong. After
completed the call-outs again and again, this time, he really quit the world.
Jin Yong is gone, but the martial arts world he created is still there. Goodbye, Jin Yong. The hero is gone and will never see him again.
