Chapter 389: The Great One of Chivalry, for the Country and the People

If you want to achieve a social goal, live or form a social consensus, public opinion can be said to be the most important link.

Especially in the context of the general lack of independent judgment ability of the people, the guidance of public opinion can guide public opinion to a large extent.

This point was already determined by Xia Hongsheng when he recovered Shuofang, and he also saw the effect.

And if you want to set a social trend, role models are equally important.

An example that is admired and admired by everyone brings about the imitation of his behavior and the reproduction of his goals by his admirers, and when the number of people who worship him reaches a certain level, a certain social trend can be formed in society.

This role model can sometimes be a real-life person or a well-known fictional character.

Xia Hongsheng wants to establish an organization that gathers the righteous chivalrous men of the world, firstly, in order to realize the rule of the rivers and lakes in the rivers and lakes that the imperial court cannot penetrate, so as to maintain a stable green forest and rivers and lakes. Second, it can also enable the imperial court to gather a group of masters who are highly capable and willing to contribute to the country and the people to deal with the threat.

Xia Hongsheng wants to set an example first, so as to arouse the admiration of this example in the society, so that a group of people can be inspired, and those who want to join this organization also have a foundation of social public opinion. At that time, the introduction of this organization by the imperial court will be in line with public opinion, and knights will not be looked down upon when they join this organization.

Therefore, the selection of this role model is particularly important. First of all, he must be a chivalrous man in the rivers and lakes, and he does not have the officialdom of the imperial court, but the chivalrous feelings of the children of the rivers and lakes. Secondly. His actions should be admirable. Inspiring, motivating. It's something to worship. Third, what he did in the end should have gone beyond the scope of ordinary grievances and hatreds in the rivers and lakes, and rose to the level of righteousness of the people of his family, country and nation.

These three points are the three most important necessary characteristics of the role model that Xia Hongsheng wants to establish.

Considering these three characteristics, Master Jin Yong's pen is the most suitable for those heroes who serve the country and the people.

"The great man of chivalry is for the country and the people."

In Master Jin Yong's martial arts novels, the chivalrous spirit and the Han and Wei dynasties have been adhering to the "sacrifice of one's life to the country." regarded death as home", and there were many chivalrous heroes who saved the country and the people, such as Yang Guo, Guo Jing, Xiao Feng, Shi Potian, etc. Jin Yong placed these heroes in a specific historical environment, used historical truth to highlight the spiritual connotation of the characters, and combined this spiritual connotation with the national righteousness.

For example, in the novel, Yang Guo repeatedly wanted to assassinate Guo Jing, Guo Jing is not only a chivalrous man who is admired by martial arts. It is also the mainstay of the front line of the nation's resistance to the enemy, and between national righteousness and personal grievances. Yang Guo finally put aside his personal grievances, and Yang Guo eventually turned from an assassin into a warrior guarding Xiangyang. This change of identity and role change is also a key change in Yang Guo's position and character. It is not only the most thrilling plot passage in the novel, but also the passage that best reflects Yang Guo's ultimate spirit of focusing on national righteousness, and it is also the most symbolic passage.

Jin Yong runs through the idea of "for the country and the people, the great man of chivalry" throughout the novel, thus pushing the traditional national spirit to a new level. In Jin Yong's works, if you are a chivalrous man, what will be reflected in the work will no longer be the depth of your martial arts, but the size of your contribution to the country. When Yang Guo and Guo Jing returned to the capital, in the eyes of tens of millions of people, Guo Jing was an out-and-out hero, a real hero, and at this time, Guo Jing also told Yang Guo what a real hero is, not in how powerful martial arts you are, but in what you do to the country and the people, that is, the connotation of chivalry, "for the country and the people, the great man of chivalry".

The same chivalrous man also has Xiao Feng, and he has a chivalrous patriotic image. In the work "Tianlong Babu", Jin Yong involved the interests of Liao, Western Xia, Tubo, Northern Song Dynasty and other countries. And Xiao Feng has Khitan blood, but lives in the Han people. Jin Yong's arrangement made Xiao Feng's patriotism fall into a dilemma between the Khitan and the Han people. After obtaining the assurance of the King of Liao that he would not invade the Central Plains, Xiao Feng immediately committed suicide by folding his sword to apologize, which is the inevitable result of the national contradictions concentrated in one character, and it is also the saddest and most heroic ending. In Jin Yong's pen, Xiao Feng is a Khitan, and the king of the Southern Courtyard, the emperor's sworn brother, Song Liao went to war, in Xiao Feng's heart, what he never forgot was the safety of the people, and he was willing to die in exchange for the people to live in peace. This is the highest state of a hero, and the highest embodiment of national integrity.

It is these flesh-and-blood characters that make us have to succumb to Xiao Feng, Jin Yong, and his martial arts novels. The reason why the heroes in Jin Yong's works can enter our hearts, can be combined with society, and can stimulate people's patriotic feelings is because those chivalrous people will always be endowed with a sense of mission and responsibility. It is this sense of responsibility that stirs the hearts of everyone who reads him, and stimulates the reader's own latent emotions and motivation. Jin Yong's chivalry is more loyal to the society and pity for the people. The heroic deeds in Jin Yong's works praise the "righteousness" of all kinds of characters, so that his novels are full of exciting heroic and chivalrous spirit. And these "righteousness" eventually converge in the "righteousness" of the family, the country, the nation, and the people.

Xia Hongsheng took a deep breath, spread out the paper and wrote down a few titles: "Dragon Babu", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and "The Condor Heroes".

Of course, there are still many times in it that need to be modified, and you can't just make up a place and a dynasty, which will reduce the sense of substitution, and the patriotic feelings embodied are not appropriate enough, so that people don't feel the same way in their hearts, and the effect will be greatly reduced. Therefore, it is necessary to find a similar historical background from China's original history and recreate it. In the same way, the plot and the roles of each protagonist should be modified according to the needs to make it more able to reflect the combination of chivalry and national integrity.

Anyway, there is nothing else to do during this time before the year, so I will concentrate on taking these novels as soon as possible, and strive to start printing them immediately after the year.

The reconstruction of the two cities will be completed in the spring, and it will be possible to print these things by that time to coincide with the opening of the bookstore.

In the second half of next year, I am afraid that there will not be so much free time, and I will have to make time to focus on the Turkic side.

The entire Tang Dynasty is now ready to go, waiting for the moment when the Turks knock on the pass, and for a legitimate reason, they will use troops against the Turks. (To be continued.) )
