Must-read books for writing martial arts novels.

First of all, it is important to have your own characteristics. Jin Yong is in Bo, you can't learn; Gu Long is new, Wen Rui 'an is unfamiliar, and Feng Ge inherits Jin Lao and mathematics. First of all, you should be clear about what style you want to write, what you are good at, and foster strengths and avoid weaknesses, so that you won't encounter particularly big problems. Maybe you don't know what style you want to take at first, so write what you are good at first. For example, Gu Long didn't have such profound knowledge of traditional culture, so he borrowed from western and detective novels. You can learn from him when he is not good at kung fu, poison and acupuncture, avoid it skillfully and use imaginary writing instead.

Secondly, to write martial arts novels, you have to know two things: "Wulin" and "Jianghu". Wulin refers to martial arts moves, sects, culture and so on. So you have to skim some books on martial arts first to get a general idea of the moves and how to use them. The most important thing is the characteristics and essence of this move, such as Tai Ji Chuan, Tan Leg and Shaolin Boxing. There were many books in this kind of stall in the 1970s and 1980s, so just pick a few and have a simple look. Jianghu refers to the ancient society, with a variety of religious things, such as slang, gangs, social customs and so on. , so you can collect some appropriately.

Then, have a certain expression and writing skills, preferably with distinctive expression skills. It is best to have good knowledge of ancient Chinese. If you want to strengthen it, you can look at Historical Records, which also contains some chivalrous demeanor before the Han Dynasty.

After that, if you think it's not good to learn Gu Long, it's still very important to learn Chinese medicine, acupoints and medicinal materials. It's a pity that my brother majored in this major. I can recommend some to you. Look at the acupoint wall chart, then learn Jin Yong's Liang Yusheng's book, and write down the commonly used meridians and acupoints. Don't look at ancient books for medicinal materials, just find a university textbook for pharmacy or traditional Chinese medicine. The efficacy is simple and clear, you only need to look at the most typical drugs and the drugs with the best names; A little knowledge of Chinese medicine is enough. If you don't understand it at all, you can make up for it again. You can read the Book of Changes when you are free. Is the originator of traditional culture. The most important thing is to imagine that the names and functions of pills in martial arts novels are mostly invented by themselves, which generally conforms to the model of traditional Chinese medicine.

Finally, the most important thing to think about is to look at your feelings. You should use the one you feel the most. Rangers are mostly Mohism, hermits and sword immortals are Taoism, and heroes are Confucianism. Then you have to prepare some poems and songs. The Book of Songs is used a lot, so we must extract some Tang and Song poems. Find a book, such as excerpts from famous poems and sentences, and write it down.
