Which of Jin Yong's works is the best? Please tell me.

Besides Zhang Wuji, The Dragon Slayer with Eternal Adversity also depicts many Wulin figures with different temperament, such as Xie Xun, Golden Lion King, Mother-in-law Jinhua, Ruyang Wang Zhijun, Zhao Min, Spider, Xiao Zhao and Zhou Zhiruo. All of them are vivid and distinctive, each with its own characteristics, each with its own temperament, and right and wrong can be summarized. By describing the life course and fate of these characters, the author embodies the cultural connotation as grand as its historical background, and melts the essence of China's traditional Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism into the life events in his works without trace, which is quietly derived, naturally and calmly showing the modern power of ancient culture. The language of the book is fluent and sophisticated, the structure is grand and fine, the plot is ups and downs, and the story development is often unexpected and unhurried. It is really a classic of the new school of martial arts novels. The Legend of the Condor Heroes, The Legend of the Condor Heroes and The Dragon Slayer are collectively called the trilogy of the Condor Heroes.

Many readers have this question: As the last part of the trilogy of shooting and carving, The Dragon Slayer with Eternal Feelings seems to have little to do with the first two novels. It can be said to be a completely independent novel, so why should it be said to be one of the trilogy of the condor heroes? -First of all, the story of this book happened nearly a hundred years after the story of the first two books, which can be said to be a long time ago, but the personnel is not; Secondly, the main characters in this book have little to do with the characters in the first two books, unlike Yang Guo, the hero in The Condor Heroes, who is the descendant of Yang Tiexin and Yang Kang in the previous book and the adopted son of Guo Jing, the hero. And many characters in The Legend of the Condor Heroes, such as Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Dong Xie, Du, Nan Di (later changed to Nan Monk), Bei Gai, Qiu, Zhou, etc. , still exists in The Condor Heroes, which constitutes an important plot and network of characters in The Condor Heroes. In contrast, there is no such "inheritance relationship" in "Eternal Dragon Slayer". Only one Guo Xiang shook his hand in the first bite of "Eternal Dragon Slayer". Zhang Junbao, the Shaolin Temple footman who appeared at the end of the novel The Condor Heroes, can be said to be completely unnoticed and a dispensable figure. Of course, this Zhang Junbao is the founder of Wu Tang School, a great martial arts master, and Zhang Sanfeng, the flatterer of Zhang Wuji, the hero of the novel. In this novel, he is over 100 years old! Supposedly, this is not a great "personal relationship". Just as The Legend of Flying Fox contains characters such as the Red Flower Club in Sword, The Legend of Flying Fox is neither a "sequel" nor a "biography" of Sword. Thirdly, the first two films of this trilogy are not only connected with the times, but also with the characters. Moreover, they all have the word "carving" in their titles, and there are also carvings in their novels (although "god carving" is not "carving"), but "carving" is not included in the title of "Dragon Slayer with Eternal Hand", and there is no carving shadow in the novel.

In fact, not only can the trilogy be said to be established, but there are also some good reasons. However, it is better to call the trilogy "Hero Trilogy" than "The Condor Trilogy". -The first "Legend of the Condor Heroes" is also called "Legend of the Heroes in the Desert", because it is written that Guo Jing and other heroes were born in the desert and gathered in Huashan; The story of being born in rivers and lakes and serving the country; The second book, The Condor Heroes, is about the growth experiences of heroes such as Yang Guo. Similarly, he was born in rivers and lakes and contributed to the country. He was born in suffering and became the top of Huashan Mountain. Zhang Wuji and other heroes in the third book "Eternal Dragon Slayer" are also heroes who can "cut the dragon", "Eternal Dragon", chivalrous Jianghu and save lives through fire and water. -"Heroes" is the most similar part of this "Hero Trilogy". Anyone with discerning eyes may see that after the completion of the last film of this "Hero Trilogy", although the characters in Jin Yong's works are chivalrous and non-chivalrous, righteous and unjust, they have lost their pure heroic demeanor of "serving the country and the people and being the greatest chivalrous man". Feng Xiao and Duan Yu in Eight Dragons can also be called heroes, but they are no longer ideal heroes like the protagonists in Heroes Trilogy, but focus on the tragic fate and unhappy life of their heroes. Therefore, it is not difficult for us to prove that pure heroes and pure "chivalrous heroes" for the country and the people are the three protagonists of this "trilogy of heroes". Moreover, since we can call it the "trilogy of heroes"

It is also necessary to call it "shooting a sculpture trilogy". The man who shoots the carving is a hero, the man who carries the carving is also a hero, and Zhang Wuji who doesn't shoot or carry the carving is also a hero. It is precisely "why do heroes try their best to make sculptures?" So when it comes to "consanguinity", these three novels are naturally the closest. The real reason why they are called "the trilogy of condor shooting" or "the trilogy of heroes" is precisely this: all three novels are real heroes, all heroes who serve the country and the people. Of course, they are not heroes of the same model, but just three different heroes, or three different hero models: Guo Jing is one, Yang Guo is one, and Zhang Wuji is another. -and this is the best reason for Jin Yong to write this trilogy, and it is also the best reason for these three novels to become a trilogy.

The protagonists in these three books have completely different personalities. Guo Jing is simple and honest, Yang Guo is passionate and wild, while Zhang Wuji is complex and cowardly. He is not so heroic, although he has many advantages and disadvantages in character. Maybe he is more like us ordinary people. Yang Guo is absolutely vivid. Guo Jing is very determined at the big festival, and Huang Rong wants to push the small things. Zhang Wuji's life has always been dominated by others. Dominated by the environment, we can't get rid of the bondage. In love, Yang Guo ignored the death of the little dragon girl and regarded social norms as nothing. Guo Jing's swing between Huang Rong and Princess Hua Zheng is purely out of moral value. She never hesitates in love. Zhang Wuji has been dragging his feet. For four girls, Zhou Zhiruo, Zhao Min, Li Yin and Xiao Zhao, it seems that he loves Zhao Min best, and finally he said the same thing to Zhou Zhiruo. But in his heart, which girl does he love more?

I'm afraid he doesn't know it himself. Neither does the author. Since his personality has been written in this way, all development depends on his personality, and the author can't interfere.

People like Zhang Wuji, no matter how high their martial arts are, can't be great political leaders after all. Of course, he doesn't want to do it himself. Even if he doesn't want to do it, he will eventually fail ... Zhang Wuji is not a good leader, but he can be our good friend. ...

Maybe that's the problem. In fact, the differences among Zhang Wuji, Guo Jing and Yang Guo are not at the same level, but fundamentally different in nature. That is to say, Guo Jing is actually a "positive" figure and a conceptual hero-he is the embodiment of "clever but clumsy" personality ideal-so The Legend of the Condor Heroes lacks some human feelings and is mostly a conceptual story like "The Heroic Divine Comedy"; And Yang Guo's character has a three-point romantic pedigree, which seems to be out of the world. But on the one hand, his lover is a little dragon girl from heaven. On the other hand, he practiced martial arts in the mountains and seas and gradually became a mythical "condor hero", which is also a conceptual hero, just a "reformed" hero, and "condor hero" has also become ".

In contrast, although Zhang Wuji's experience may be more legendary and tortuous than that of Guo Jing and Yang Guo, his image itself is "human". He is neither the embodiment of "innate reason and ingenuity" nor the typical example of "from evil to right, from evil to right", but a concrete, vivid and complex living person. Although the story in "Eternal Dragon Slayer" looks legendary, its "smell" is already human fireworks.

In short, some people may think that the legend of the condor heroes is the most "authentic" and therefore the best. Maybe others will think that Legend of the Condor Heroes is more fantastic and profound than Legend of the Condor Heroes, and the scenery is pleasant, so it is the best. And maybe some people will prefer to watch "The Dragon Slayer". In any case, we should admit that these three novels have their own merits. The real reason why they are different lies in the author's constant pursuit of innovation and change, rather than dragging out a story and spreading out a bunch of molded characters. This is much better than many of our "series novels" or "trilogy". ~
