Then, the editor of
, you are asking you,
, the earliest mystery novel, when did
appear?
...
Today, the editor will talk to you about the development history of
mystery novels.
1. Early Arab
"One Thousand and One Nights", the first story of "Who is the Murderer" appeared
"One Thousand and One Nights", the story of "Black Slave and Apple" in "One Thousand and One Nights" is the earliest recorded story of "Who is the Murderer".
Story King Caliph bought a net that the fisherman had just pulled ashore, but the fish net was not a fish, but a box with a lock hanging. After the box was carried into the palace, the Caliph ordered people to pry it open and found that it turned out to be a female corpse that had been removed into several pieces. Harry restricted Prime Minister Gilfa to catch the murderer within three days, otherwise his whole family would have to pay his life.
The concept of suspense, reversal and case solving appears in the story, but unlike the later case detection story, Gilfa in the story does not have the intention to solve the case.
2.Ancient Chinese
The earliest detective story is an ancient Chinese case novel
Ancient Chinese case novels are a detective story in the true sense.
The story shows elements of mystery novels, and the protagonist also has the intention to solve the case. The more famous ones are the "Grey Lan Ji" of the Yuan Dynasty, the " Bao Gong Case " of the Ming Dynasty and the "Di Gong Case" of the Qing Dynasty.
Many times the story content is not a real case record, but an original creation of later generations.
Dutch diplomat Go Ropey , and is also the author of "The Di Gong Case of the Tang Dynasty", believes that the difference between Chinese classical case novels and European and American mystery novels is:
"detectives" are local officials, and they usually solve several unrelated cases at the same time; criminals, criminal processes and means are brought over by hastily, and the motives of the crime are explained from the beginning, so they are mostly "flashback reasoning" stories rather than "who is the murderer"; the case solving process always involves supernatural forces, such as the victim's wronged soul tells the murder process to the person who solves the case; a large number of philosophical analysis and lengthy official documents; too many related characters (hundreds) and introduce their relationship with several main characters.
3.European and American development
Entertainment by Allan Poe's "Morger Street Homicide" is the first real mystery novel.
The mystery novel originated in the United States in the 19th century and later developed in the United Kingdom.
Generally speaking, the development of mystery novels began with Allan Poe's "Morge Street Murght Case". Allan Poe uses scientific deduction to solve the case, which is what Hu Shi said about bold assumptions and careful verification.
Later Conan Doyle was inspired by it to create Detective Sherlock Holmes. The mystery novel gradually became a unique character, and Sherlock Holmes also became a classic of famous detectives in the novel. The partner mode of "detectives and assistants" was developed, and it was not until the later titled "Murder Queen" Höchul Poirot and Hastings in the works of American mystery artist Ellery Quinn , Detectives of the same name, Detectives of the same name, and his detective father, and the modern Japanese mystery writer Joji Shimada Shimada, all of which have more or less extended the use of such a detective and his assistant mode. The spy novel led by
007 was once popular in
1841-1912, and short detective novels were the mainstream of creation at that time. Representative writers: Arthur Conan Doyle , G.K. Chosteton, R.A. Foliman, Jack Fortreton.
1913-1920s, E.C. Bentley's "The Last Case of Chu Lant" was published in 1913. Due to its popularity, subsequent mystery novels have successively published long works.
In 1920, Agatha Christie's debut film "Handle Story Manor Story " and Freeman Claufz's "Bottle" brought mystery detective novels into the golden age.
1930s, classical mystery novels reached their peak. The tough guy detective novels have begun to emerge in the late 1920s, and during this period the United States has gained more room for development, especially famous for Raymond Chandler in the late 1930s. During the same period, pure crime novels that focused on psychology in the UK began to step onto the stage.
In the 1940s, classical mystery novels remained strong, but their status has gradually been replaced by purely criminal novels and psychological suspense novels. It has led to the popularity of spy novels, and police novels have also become popular.
In the 1950s, tough guy detective novels, pure crime novels and psychological suspense novels became mainstream.
1960s, mystery novels entered a trough period, and the emergence of 007 James Bond rekindled the enthusiasm for spy novels.
In the 1970s, spy novels were still popular, and tough guy detective novels also had a hint of vitality, but the latest trend was historical mystery novels.
In the 1980s, when the Hundred Schools of Thoughts entered the period of controversy, various types of mystery detective novels had relatively great turning point and room for development.
4.20th century Japanese
"Two Copper Coins" is the originator of Japanese mystery novels
After the introduction of detective novels into Japan, a new category was established in the Japanese literary world.
In the early 1920s, after Edogawa Ranbu grasped the essence of detective novels, he published his debut work "Two Coins Coins", becoming a pioneer in the field of Japanese mystery novels and the originator of Japanese original mystery novels.
During the prevalence of the Benge School, Saburo Koga even called the type of mystery novels described by abnormal psychological state "change".
In the late 1950s, Matsumoto Kiyoshi created the social school mystery novel. In Japan, where the ACG industry is developed, there are also inferential cartoon works, such as "Detective Conan", "Kanda Ichiko's Boy", etc.
In the late 1980s, with the "Killing Ten-Kok Hall" by Ayatsuki Jueto , the popularity of the original reasoning returned, and the "new original" reasoning school appeared.
5. Modern Taiwan
"Taiwan Xinbao" serialization is the earliest mystery novel in Taiwan
Detective novels were introduced to Taiwan during the Japanese era, and the origin of them is the same as Japanese detective novels. At that time, Taiwan's detective novels belonged to the "truth" type.
According to Lu Chunyu's research, on January 7, 1898, the "Mengjia Murder" serialized in Taiwan's "Taiwan Xinbao" began in the mainland of Japan, with a total of 54 episodes, which is the earliest mystery novel in Taiwan. After
, there are many writers such as Hidezo Iioka ("The Peerless Thief Fury Taipei City"), Noda Makizumi ("The Killing of Adoption Mother at the 10-Baofour Gate of Keelung HTML"), etc.), Zuoguang Dongping ("The Rafting Boat stained by Shilin River"), Yamashita Keiko ("The Sealong Dismemberment Incident"), and Lin Xiongsheng ("The Old Man Cao in Longshan Temple" series). It can be seen that early mystery novels in Taiwan were created in the hands of Japanese people in Taiwan. How about
?

, the motives of committing crimes, the methods used,
, have already had the preliminary model of mystery novels,
