The theme of Jin Yong's novels

History and comparison of Jin Yong's novel versions

Mr. Jin Yong's novels have undergone two revisions, and there are three versions in total.

From the publication of Duke of Lushan in Ming Pao in 1955 to 1972, Jin Yong's novels, whether serialized in newspapers or the first edition of books, are collectively called "old editions" among readers, which are the most original editions.

Later, Jin Yong spent ten years seriously revising the old novels. Later, the editions of Yuan Jing and Liu Yuan Publishing Company were revised as "new editions" (including Yuan Jing's white edition, Liu Yuan's yellow edition and Liu Yuan's leather edition). When some readers mentioned Jin Yong's old novels, they all thought they were Yuan Jing versions. In fact, the Yuan Jing version is the same as the Liu Yuan version.

Interestingly, when Jin Yong changed the "new edition" to "new edition", almost all the objections raised by readers criticized Jin Yong for "changing his memory"; In retrospect, when the "old edition" was revised into the "new edition", Ni Kuang and other readers of the old edition also put forward opinions similar to those of Jin Yong. After seven years of revision project, the newly revised Jin Yong's novels were finally published in July 2006. Interested readers can look at the three versions of Jin Yong's martial arts novels.

Comparison of three versions:

First, "The Legend of Flying Fox"

Old version:

1, whose father is Feng;

2. Finally, Yuan Ziyi left robing's white horse to Pei Hu, but she left alone, leaving infinite sadness!

New version:

1, Yuan Ziyi's father's name is Feng Tiannan;

2. Finally, it was Pei Hu who put Yuan Ziyi on the white horse. Yuan Ziyi shook his head, got on the horse quietly and walked slowly to the west. As a result, Baima "couldn't help moaning and didn't understand why the old master turned around."

New version:

1, the ending of the flying fox is more decorated. At the end, Pei Hu met Nanlan in front of his parents' grave, which evolved into Yuan Ziyi hijacking Nanlan to Hu Weiwei.

2, the protagonist Pei Hu's first love object, also became Ma Chunhua. In the third chapter of the book, Ma teaches his apprentice and his daughter to practice through-arm boxing, and then sleeps on the grass when they are tired of practicing, so that they can peek at "her towering chest, exposed Chinese-style chest covering, bare lower abdomen, calves and arms ...", which in turn causes Pei Hu to daydream about the beautiful body of the girl and want to kiss such a beautiful sister;

3. In ChristianRandPhillips Temple on a rainy night, Yuan Ziyi and Pei Hu fought wits to save Fengtiannan and let Hu Fei hold Yuan Ziyi, but Yuan Ziyi said, "Let me go!" And let go;

At the "World Leaders' Meeting", Feng Tiannan was exposed by Tang Pei to insinuate the silver needle.

My opinion: the ending of the new version weakens Nanlan's confession, which seems to be inferior to the new version. Pei Hu's imagination is dispensable, but it just fits the plot behind the novel. Pei Hu goes through fire and water for Ma Chunhua. The story of the Temple of ChristianRandPhillips points out the future that they don't want to let go. Feng Tiannan and Tang Pei were once the best dog-eat-dog writers, which is more in line with human nature.

Second, flying foxes in snowy mountains

There is not much difference between the old and new versions.

New version: more swearing. At the beginning, Cao scolded "Fuck * * *!" Other characters, such as Tao Zian, Hawk Inghi and Ruan Shizhong, are also rough; There are also some embellishments in the article, which refer to the ending of Pei Hu's two confidants when he was a teenager: one became a monk and the other died for himself.

My opinion: the export of dirty words is very suitable for these careless people; The description of Pei Hu's boyhood makes the two books (The Legend of Flying Fox and Flying Fox of Snowy Mountain) more coherent.

Third, "Liancheng tactics"

Old version: The title of the book is Su Xin Jian, and the sword score in the book is also Su Xin Jian Pi;

New edition: renamed Liancheng Tactics, and the sword score in the book is also Liancheng Sword Score;

New version:

1. The relationship between Dabao and Wu was introduced in detail: the original treasure of Emperor Liang Yuan of the Six Dynasties was later discovered by a monk. The monk compiled the location of the treasure into the Tang Poetry and Song Poetry, and wanted to give it to Wu as a fund to resist the Qing court. This makes it possible for only the eminent monks Wu and Mei Niansheng who know the "sword method of Tang poetry" to crack the code. Unfortunately, Wu was killed by the apricot tree, and the anthology fell into the hands of Mei Niansheng. This also indirectly points out the relationship between Wu and Mei Niansheng.

2. Supplemented the story of how Qi stole Liancheng Jianpu in the inn under the close surveillance of three other disciples;

3. Change the "Tibet" blood knife gate in Liancheng to "Qinghai Black Sect" blood knife gate.

My opinion: the story of Wu and treasure shows that this book should be dated in Kangxi's later years; Qi's words reasonably explain why the gold powder of Liancheng Jianpu disappeared out of thin air and suddenly appeared.

Fourth, "Dragon Eight Branches"

Old version:

1, Duan Yu's dream lover is named Wang Yuyan;

2. Duan Yu's mother is Shu Baifeng;

3. Duan Yu's magical power is "Zhu Hu's magical power";

4. The revival of Tianshan Mu Tong is "the world is the only one";

5. The names of the four guards around Dali section are: Ling, Xiao Yucheng, Dong Sigui and Zhu;

6. Your Tan Zhi's name in the Beggars' Sect is Wang Xingtian;

7. What fascinates the beggars in the Xinglin of Xixia Yipintang is "red flowers and fragrant fog";

8. At first, Zhong Ling had two snakes;

9. Zheluoxing once came to the Central Plains from Tianzhu in two pythons;

10, Duan Yu once used his "Zhu Clam Magic" and You's "ice silkworm Magic" in Xinglin, and it was difficult to win at the moment;

1 1. When he appeared, Mu Rongfu was at war with Ye Erniang.

New version:

1, Duan Yu's dream lover is named Wang Yuyan;

2. Duan Yu's mother is called Dao Baifeng;

3. The magic power that Duan Yu learned is "the magic power of the Northern Shadow";

4. The revival of Mu Tong in Tianshan Mountain is "Eight Wastelands and Six Rivers are the only ones";

5. The names of the four guards around Dali section are: Chu Wan Li, Gu Yucheng, Fu Sigui and Zhu;

6. Your Tan Zhi's name in the Beggars' Sect is Zhuang Juxian;

7. What fascinates the beggars in the Xinglin of Xixia Yipintang is the "sad and crisp breeze";

8. At the beginning, there was a lightning mink in Zhong Ling;

9. Finally, the scene of sitting on a mound pretending to be an emperor and accepting a child's bow was added, accompanied by Bi.

New version:

1, Wang Yuyan's grandfather changed from five ducks to Ding Chunqiu;

2. Wang Yuyan in the palace is worried about his old age and youth. In order to keep his "immortal appearance" forever, he decided to practice Yan Yan with Ding Chunqiu, but unfortunately failed. Therefore, he returned to Duan Yu with no face, suggesting that he finally fell into the arms of Mu Rongfu;

3. Xu Zhu was embarrassed to rob Princess Xixia, so she gave Mei Lanzhuju to Duan Yu together with Princess Xixia's maid, and Mu He also lived in the palace, plus a bi, and eight beautiful women accompanied Duan Yu to live in the palace;

4. In order to conform to historical facts, Duan Yu finally became a monk;

Qiao Feng changed the dragon's twenty-eight palms into eighteen palms.

(Note: 1: The new version of Tianlong Babu has not been revised, and the above source is purely gossip. )

My opinion: It is necessary for Wang Yuyan to go back to Mu Rongfu. I always thought that Wang Yuyan was not good enough for Duan Yu. Wang Yuyan married Duan Yu just to find a substitute without Mu Rongfu, not true love. Duan Yu doesn't have to be a monk. Duan Yu's martial arts is so high that it doesn't conform to the historical facts. Why insist? It is not advisable for Duan Yu to get along with Bajie, which weakens Duan Yu's image. The new version of the martial arts is very poetic and better than the old one. But some magical plots in the old version don't have to be deleted.

Five, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"

Old version:

1, starting with a Song poem, explaining the situation at that time;

2. Qu Lingfeng appeared as a pile of bones;

Yang Guo's mother was raped by Yang Kang.

4. Qin Qin Nan and Guo Jing once had a love affair and deeply loved Guo Jing;

5. The author of Nine Shadows is Dharma, which is a wonderful martial arts book of Huang's "relying on becoming an art";

6. Guo Jing has a little red bird, also known as "blood bird";

7. There is a frog-clam war, and the iron palm gang kills people;

8. In Tieqiang Temple, a wooden roller killed Yang Kang with an iron bar and then committed suicide;

9. Ouyang Feng can live in the ice for three days;

10, Qiu Lian practiced "Five Poisons Palm" and soaked his hand with poison, so the palm strength contained poison;

1 1, Hong Qigong just started to teach Huang Rong's "Swallow Together";

12, Huang's fame is definitely "falling into the palm of the British";

13, Duan Huangye's magical power is "the first day's power", and Wang Zhongyang's unique stunt is "one yang finger";

New version:

1, with Zhang Shiwu's storytelling as the opening of this book;

2. More Qu Lingfeng steals treasures and talks with Yang Guo;

3. Combine Qin Qin Nan and Mu Nianzi into one;

4. Completes the process of Huang Shang's writing "Jiuyin Zhen Jing";

5. Change Ouyang Feng's stay time in the ice to one hour;

6. Two episodes of Huang Rong Forcing Sedan Chair and Changling Encountering Rain were added.

7. Qiu's housekeeping skills have become "iron palm magic", and his hands are non-toxic;

New version:

1, which expounds the origin and development of the original, first and second drafts of Jiuyin Zhen Jing;

2. The deep description of the ambiguous relationship between Huang and Mei Chaofeng:

3. Reasonably explain the potential power of "frog skill";

4. At the end of the book, Xiangyang City guarded by Guo Jing and Huang Rong became Qingzhou City;

5. Nine-Yin Claw, Heart-destroying Palm and Four-Battle Whip were once aboveboard martial arts in Zhen Jing, but this time they have become Huang Shang's devious martial arts.

6. Change "Nine Yin God Grabs" and "Four Wars Whips" into "Destroying God Grabs" and "White Python Whips";

7. Explain the nine yin. According to the Book of Changes, Yang is odd and Yin is even, so the highest state of Zhen Jing with nine Yin should be the compatibility of Yin and Yang, and the combination of rigidity and softness.

8. The "chapter" of Jiuyin Zhen Jing was changed to "chapter";

9. Chen Xuanfeng didn't engrave Jiuyin Zhenjing on his stomach;

10, at the end of the second volume of Jiuyin Zhen Jing, there is a line by Mei Chaofeng;

1 1. "Fish leaping into the Yuyuan Garden" and "Dragon Fight Wild" are both called "Or Leaping into the Yuan" and "Dragon Fight Wild";

12, a brief understanding of the process of Qiao Feng's changing the dragon's eighteen palms, the original "dragon wagging its tail" came from the "cover tiger's tail" of Xuzhu;

13, silly aunt appeared early (Guo Xiaotian Yang Tiexin era);

14, Ma Yu changed the method of "covering palm with three flowers" to "breaking palm with frost"

15, especially at the end of each chapter, more or less added some comments (mainly refuting some comments). For example, netizens talked about "talented women singing Yuanqu in the Song Dynasty", "Is it really true to keep sand in the palace", "How can there be Han generals in the Mongolian army" and so on.

1 6, which reasonably solved the age problem of Jing Rong.

My opinion: the beginning of the old edition is extremely boring, and the new edition is extraordinary. Unfortunately, Qin's was deleted from the new version, which was not worth the loss. Huang had a love affair when he was young, so he stopped writing. It's better to be subtle. The new edition makes up for the loopholes in the first two editions and makes the book more refined. The narration of the Eighteen Palm of the Dragon strengthens the connection between the Book of Heaven and the Book of Shooting.

Six, "White Horse Whistling West Wind"

Due to the short space, there is not much change between the old version, the new version and the new version.

7. Duke of Lushan Mountain.

Old Edition: Wei Xiaobao, supplemented by Chen Jinnan's secrets, unfolded and combined four pictures in the 42-chapter classic, and his martial arts was not very low.

New Edition: Wei Xiaobao knows little about martial arts, but what he learns best is the "magical and changeable" escape kung fu.

New Edition: It is rumored that Mr. Jin Yong will arrange a bad ending for Wei Xiaobao: it may be that Wei Xiaobao eventually lost all his money and was penniless; Or his wife left him one by one.

My opinion: But recently I heard that Jin Yong hasn't changed, so it's hard to comment.

Eight, "the legendary swordsman"

Old version:

1, ten elders of witchcraft were killed by Feng Qingyang;

2. The name of Sun Moon Shinto is "Chaoyang Shinto";

Mr. Mo Da was beheaded by a blind man in Zuo Lengchan.

New version:

1, the great escape, also appeared at the wedding of Ling Huchong and Ren Yingying;

2. The elders of the Magic Sect were trapped by the Wuyue Sword Sect.

New Edition: The latest edition, Yingying seems to be more jealous. For example, when Ling Huchong deliberately stabbed himself to please young people, Yingying left in a rage and then let him chase Yingying again. Finally, when Ling Huchong visited Lin Pingzhi, Lin Pingzhi said, "Ling Huchong, you hit me in a mean way. You are not qualified to talk to me." Ling didn't argue with him ... and felt uncomfortable.

My opinion: the second edition is immortal, leaving a lasting impression on the ending of the novel, and it is well changed. The latest edition also reflects Yingying's jealousy in many places, but it doesn't feel as good as the second edition.

Nine, "Book Sword Enqiu Record"

Old version: Zhou Zhongying killed his own son, Zhou Bernard, for the sake of his fellow Wulin.

New Edition: Bernard Chow was killed by an iron bullet accidentally thrown by Zhou Zhongying.

New version:

1, added a chapter "Where did the soul go?" This paper mainly tells the story that two generations used the Koran and Lu Feiqing's Confucius and Mencius to preach to Chen Jialuo, which made Chen Jialuo learn from a painful experience and never committed suicide again.

2. Strengthened Chen Jialuo's inner description of not loving Huo Qingtong;

3. Change the once controversial Jade Bottle Beauty from Princess Xiangxiang to mamie;

4. With more pen and ink, the heart of Gan Long was carved.

My opinion: the changes in the new version are closer to human nature, and the old version is too inhuman. The new supplement is a bit redundant.

X. The Condor Heroes

Old version:

1, Yang Guo was cut off by Guo Fu's left hand;

2. Yang Guo's mother is Qin;

3. There are three Hu Ling beside my aunt;

The big carving gave the country to Yang.

New version:

1, Yang Guo was cut off by his right hand;

2. Yang Guo's mother is Mu Nianci;

3. Yang Guo ate the snake gall of the serpent caught by the carving god.

New version:

1, Yang Guo flirts with the little dragon girl more, and the little dragon girl is not as cold as ice;

2. Guo Xiang imagines herself as a Jackie Chan; And fantasize that if it is the first time to meet Yang Guo instead of Little Dragon Girl, then Yang Guo will definitely fall in love with her. There will be a plot of secretly "competing" with the little dragon girl in the future. Alas, the lovely fragrance has also become vulgar.

3. Guo Xiang sincerely worships King Jinlun as a teacher;

4. Change the Tibetan Golden Wheel King to the Mongolian Golden Wheel King.

My opinion: the little dragon girl is a bit tacky, no longer the enchanting little fairy before, but a real person who landed on earth. This does not conform to the image of a "cold girl" who has lived in an ancient tomb for a long time. The rewriting of Guo Xiang's experience is worthy of scrutiny.

Xi。 knight-errant

Old version: Zhang Si is from Lombok.

New edition: Zhang Lisan is from Chivalrous Island.

New version:

1. change of purpose: the first chapter "black iron order" was replaced by "scone stuffing"; The second chapter, from "absurd and shameless" to "teenagers make big disasters"; Chapter three, replace "skyscraper cliff" with "Dont Ask For Help"; Chapter four, from "wife grabbing" to "Changle Wang Gang"; Chapter six, change "scar" into "scar on leg"; Chapter 10, from "the sun came out" to "the knife method of the sun"; Chapter 11 "Medicinal Liquor" is replaced by "Poisoned Liquor Yidi"; Chapter 13, from "being honest" to "feeling like a calf"; In chapter 15, the "truth" is replaced by "the king of truth and falsehood";

2. The nickname of Situ Heng, the former leader of Changle, was changed from "Golden Dragon with Eight Paws" to "Fast Horse";

3. Shi Jian was not killed, but was given a point and was later saved by history;

4. On Ziyan Island, Shi Tiantian and Ah Xiu are much more in love. Shi Tiantian actually said disgusting sweet words to Axiu, such as "You are my darling".

My opinion: A section of Purple Smoke Island is very interesting! But the description of Shi's character seems inconsistent. Fortunately, Shi Jian was not killed. I feel sorry for such a nice girl and thank Jin Shifu for her kindness.

Twelve, "Eternal Dragon Slayer"

Old version:

1, Zhao Min was originally Zhao Ming, and Yin Liting was Yin Henry;

2. There used to be a "jade-faced fire monkey" in Zhang Wuji;

3. Zhou Zhiruo is the daughter of Zoroastrianism subordinate Zhou, and finally became a nun.

New version:

1, the founder of Zoroastrianism, Yang Tiantian, changed to Yang Dingtian;

2. A Zhu's "A Thousand Spiders Without a Home" was renamed "Ten Poisons and a Thousand Spiders";

It seems that Zhou Zhiruo lives with Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min.

New Edition: Zhang Wuji even told Zhao Min that he wanted to marry Huei-mei, which was not found in the second edition. The second edition only said that Zhang Wuji dreamed of getting married with Fourth Sister.

My opinion: Zhang Wuji has become more vulgar in the latest edition.

Thirteen. A sword stained with royal blood

Old Edition: The opening character is Hou Fangyu, one of the four great sons of the late Ming Dynasty in The Legend of Peach Blossom Fan.

New Edition: The first chapter introduces Zhang Nadu, a descendant of Boni State.

New version:

1, Liang Shi School was changed to Chess Fairy School, and the current residence is called Jingyan;

2. The golden snake sword in the cave can be easily pulled out;

3. Yuan Chengzhi likes A Jiu, but she can't extricate herself because she has an appointment with Qingqing. This book focuses on Yuan Chengzhi's ambivalence towards A Jiu.

4. Finally, when A Jiu didn't become a monk and went to Tibet to practice with Master;

5. Yuan Chengzhi decided to set up "Golden Snake King Camp";

6. After Li Zicheng went to Beijing, there was internal strife, and all his subordinates were killed by him.

7. Qing Qing saw that Chengzhi had deep feelings for A Jiu, jumped off the cliff in a rage, and finally got Yuan Chengzhi's body (the heart can't be called);

8. Add a description of Li Zicheng's inner world.

My opinion: Yuan Chengzhi has become a playboy, which is the biggest change in the latest version.

Fourteen, "Yuanyang Dao"

There is not much difference between the three versions.

Fifteen. sword of the yue maiden

There is not much difference between the three versions.
