Chapter 263 - Shooting the vulture fever
While some people were still struggling with whether Hu Fei's sword had been cut down, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" had swept across the entire Greater China like a tsunami.
The traditional version was first printed with 1.2 million copies and sold out in half a day, creating a craze in Baodao and Nangang.
By late September, domestic readers who read martial arts have not heard of the book "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", it would be a joke.
On the subway, in the office, in the toilet, security room, elevator entrance, and even in the classroom...
No matter whether it is age, part of class, gender or region, the shadow of this book can be seen almost anywhere. Countless people enter that vast world and cannot extricate themselves, and countless people are obsessed with Jingrong's love and cannot let go.
This is a carnival in the true sense, and this is an unprecedented event in the history of martial arts!
...
"In terms of this book alone, Gu Yongsheng's creativity has become faintly beyond historical facts. As a martial arts novel, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" can be alongside many outstanding novels in the history of literature without any guilt. The boundary between martial arts and traditional literature has taken a big step forward."
This passage comes from a seminar on "Regaining Traditional Classic Culture". When a historian spoke, he mentioned this martial arts novel that was so popular across the country, and gave him high praise.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, another gray-haired old man immediately offered to give a comment.
"No matter how wonderful the martial arts novels are written, they are always martial arts novels. They cannot enter the traditional literary world in a panoramic way, fighting and killing. They pursue sensory stimulation, lack display of the times, and do not pay attention to the discovery of truth, goodness and beauty of human nature. They ignore the criticism of falsehood, evil and ugliness. Such novels have no long-term vitality."
"I can't agree with Mr. Xu's statement," said Chen Shirang, a professor at Fudan University. "Although martial arts is martial, the core lies in heroes. Mr. Xu just said that martial arts did not disclose falsehood, evil and ugliness. This statement is actually a misunderstanding of martial arts novels. Comrades who have read "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" must know that this book not only deeply exposes the evil and ugliness of human nature, but also makes further thoughts and answers. The penultimate chapter of the novel, enlightening the principles of the principle, is the four words "right, wrong, good and evil."
Although Chen Shirang's tone was calm and gentle, his words were very loud and pointed directly at the key points.
"As for truth, goodness and beauty, it is the consistent theme of the novel. The truth of father and son's brotherhood, the goodness of the male protagonist's treatment of others, and the beauty of the male and female protagonist's love is vivid and exquisite."
Chen Shirang's speech was reasonable and well-founded, and obviously more people on the court agreed. Someone quickly added: "The book created the image of an old naughty boy, which impressed me very deeply. This person is not only obsessed with martial arts, but has no intention of other things, and is innocent and innocent. The set of kung fu he created, "the technique of fighting with left and right" is actually a very meaningful metaphor. The so-called drawing circles with one hand and the other is not sure how smart people can do it, and only sincere people can get what they want."
"There is also that Huang Yaoshi, known as Dongxie, who is indeed evil in the novel, but it seems normal for us to look at him from a modern perspective. Is this saying that he is actually a person who awakens modern consciousness?"
At this time, a young scholar raised his hand to speak. He first glanced at his manuscript, then looked up at the microphone and said: "The five Central Plains masters created by the author in this book have their own characteristics, but I think the person the author really admires is actually the northern beggar Hong Qigong. In fact, the author made a fair judgment on the five masters through Qiu Chuji's mouth, and the Eastern evil acted on his own and did not think about others; the Western poison did many evils, so there was no need to say much; the Southern Emperor lived in seclusion for his own small grudges. Although he was compassionate, he might not be very kind and brave. Only the northern beggar Hong Qigong, who helped the poor and was a hero, was the real hero."
After hearing this, Chen Shirang nodded and continued: "This involves a topic I have recently assigned to the students, called "The Hundred Schools of the Legend of the Condor Heroes". Huang Yaoshi actively avoided the world and lived in an island. It is naturally a Taoist who inherited Zhuangzi's view of fame and fortune as clouds. Needless to say, Master Yideng represents the Buddhist family, who converts to the Three Jewels and sees through the world. As for Ouyang Feng, it is a bit like a traitor, conspiracy and tricks, and is not worthy of means. Hong Qigong actually reflects the Mohist thought, just like Comrade Nan He said just now to help the poor and help the poor and save people in danger.
As for the hero Guo Jing, I think his thoughts are more Confucian and have aspirations to serve the country. Unfortunately, the story has not been written in his entire life, and his personality is still in the development stage. It is difficult to make the final conclusion. I can only hope for the author and improve this character in the future. I believe that it will become a classic character in the gallery of figures in the history of literature in my country."?
Professor Chen paused and concluded: "There is too much content worth studying here, and it is impossible to make a conclusion on conceptualization or generalization."
The "Regaining Classics" seminar instantly became the "Symposium on Legend of the Condor Heroes". The old scholars who had not yet come into contact with this book were speechless for a while.
All representatives who can enter today's venue are all figures who have achieved outstanding achievements in their personal fields. Since so many accomplished and experienced people have praised a martial arts novel together, it can only prove one thing: "This martial arts book may indeed be unusual."
...
After this seminar, a post about the names of the Five Sages of Central Plains spread on the Internet.
"As we all know, there was a theory of the five elements in ancient my country, such as metal, wood, water, fire and earth. Each line corresponds to a matter and a direction, namely, eastern wood, western gold, southern fire, northern water, and central earth. So, I wonder if you have noticed that the names of the Five Essences of the Central Plains actually imply the theory of the Five Elements.
First of all, the Eastern Evil Huang Yaoshi, the word "大子" in ancient times, has a wood character; then the Western Poison Ouyang Feng has a big gold next to it, corresponding to the Western gold; the Southern Emperor Yideng Master has a fire character, the northern beggar Hong Qigong has a three-point water, and the middle supernatural power king Chongyang has two earth characters. If you pay attention, it is completely corresponding!
This is just a knowledge in a person's name. As for other connotations in the novel, you can see through the leopard."
This post made many "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" realize it and feel that this book is more and more extraordinary.
This post also inspired the potential of many readers to investigate the Quanzhen Sect in history and investigate Guo Jing. Some people even became interested in the saying Huang Rong mentioned "There are 72 disciples of Confucius, how many adults, how many children". The original text is "Five and six and six and seven boys," when they were studying. When they were studying, the teacher taught him "Five and six and six and seven boys, and six and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven. When they were studying, the teacher taught him that there were 56 and six and six and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven and seven.

Whether it is textual research or pure plot discussion analysis, in short, the popularity of The Legend of the Condor Heroes cannot be cooled down in a short period of time, especially the unreserved positive attitudes that have been shown by various TV stations, which have added everyone's expectations for the adaptation of this novel and another wave of discussion.
At this time, in the apartment, No. 9, Hongyi Building, Vientiane Academy, a boy knocked on the door of 501 thoughtfully. (To be continued...)
Chapter completed!
