1. The artistic characteristics of Xiao Qian's and Xiao Duan's Tanhua novels

1. The main narrative line of Xiao Qian and Xiao Duan Tanhua: single beauty and intricacies

Xiao Qian's "Ethereal Journey" is known as the originator of Xiuzhen novels, and the writing style of Xiao Qian's novels is "as light as weight" Four words are enough to deserve it; Xiao Qian's writing is not gorgeous, in the simple and natural, there is a simple and smooth beauty; and the narrative line of Xiao Qian's novel is very single, the plot is relatively compact, which especially reflects Xiao Qian's demeanor, his grasp of the storyline is particularly in place, the novel is in the process of changing scenes, the details should be detailed, the brief brief, never dragging mud and water; compared to Xiao Qian, Tanhua's writing is relatively very gorgeous, with the demonic atmosphere of stacking bed frame houses, and Tanhua's novel layout is rigorous, The structure is grand, the cultivation system is complicated, the narrative line is too many, and the novel is inevitably lengthy in writing; 16 million words written in seven years is proof of this!

2. The connotation of Xiao Qian and Xiao Duan Tanhua's novels: delicate and flowing simple emotions and profound humanistic care

Xiao Qian's "Ethereal Journey", "Second Kill", "Transcendent Biography", "Deception Thor", every protagonist in the novel is very humane, and the beauty of simple and kind human nature flows on his body, Li Qiang likes to make friends, and he can get together anywhere; Guo Twelve and Mi Xiaojing care very much about their families, friends, teachers, etc., and their growth path is often dragged by their families; this is upgraded with "killing people, grabbing treasures, and killing monsters" In the eyes of these readers, Xiuzhen is to change one's life against the sky, to fight for a first-line opportunity, and to block and kill gods and Buddhas for this line of opportunity; Xiao Qian is criticized by others, and it is also the place that I value the most, I personally feel that this is the writer's bottom line, only by maintaining this bottom line, maintaining this sense of mission and the writer's conscience, the writer and the work will have thickness; in the same situation, we can also explore the flower in a small paragraph of "Xiushen Gaiden" In short, the "delicate and flowing simple emotions and profound humanistic care" in Xiao Qian's and Xiaoduan Tanhua's works are the salvation of Xiuzhen's novels, because in the works of Xiao Qian and Tanhua, they have established a rule that is far above anyone else, not just a simple strength.

3. The philosophical beauty of Xiao Qian's novels and the veins of Tanhua novels

Xiao Qian's novels, whether it is "Ethereal Journey", or "Divergent Road", "Second Kill", "Deception Thor" If the above four novels score 90 points, I will give 100 points to this ending alone; because Xiao Qian's novels have the ultimate care of human beings, he is different from other Xiuzhen novels, the protagonist cultivates to the end, only I am the best in heaven and earth, and I am above the law of heaven and earth; and each of Xiao Qian's novels has the ultimate thinking of human beings, and they are all asking what the ultimate of cultivation is! "Ethereal Journey" and "Divergent Road" As Xiao Qian's earliest novel, the title alone illustrates Xiao Qian's philosophy - the way of heaven is slim, manpower is limited, even if you cultivate to the extreme, just like the Qingdi and Li Qiang in "Ethereal Journey", there is no limit to life, under the endless starry sky, yes is still confused about the road ahead, and even survived the catastrophe by himself, I don't know if I have become a god or not, the ethereal journey can really be described as an ethereal journey; Qitian Road, the story is also like the title of the book, the purpose of cultivation is originally to transcend life and death and live forever, but in Qitian Road, cultivation has reached the extreme, there is a realm and a realm are fused together, but there is no self; The Lei Xingfeng inside has cultivated to the extreme, destroying countless universes, incarnating into a world, but he can never answer his hometown, another fate that unfolds with the woman who sympathizes with the same disease, maybe all cultivation is a mirror, in the face of the endless Heavenly Dao universe, the insignificant human beings cannot escape the charm of men and women given by nature forever!

The science student was born in a small section of Tanhua, and the rigorous personality is reflected in the novel -- let's put it this way, there has never been a Xiuzhen novel, which has more foreshadowing, more pits, and a more rigorous layout than "The Legend of Xiushen"; to borrow the words of Xuanqing Daoyou, "it is like a tapestry of the Heavenly Maiden and a formation of heavenly generals, presenting a colorful and well-organized plot and world", and the ending of the characters in the story has various twists and turns, and almost no reader can guess the twists and turns of the ending of the characters; "The Gaiden of Xiushen" has a total of five volumes; the first volume of "The Gaiden of Xiushen" , is the prequel to the novel, is how the protagonist Xiao Hua found the evidence of becoming a god in the Shenzhou Ruins of the end of the law era;"Light Escape" is the story of the protagonist of the novel in the Xiuzhen realm, divided into two volumes, one volume is the protagonist in the Xiaoyu Continent to cultivate to the early stage of Jindan, because the body of the demigod was good to survive the thunder tribulation when he crossed the border earlier, and the disciples of the sealed person, that is, the two Yuanying monks, chased and killed, in the case of the master's lover self-detonation and falling, passing through the Sumeru Buddha Array at the bottom of the sea, the Five Elements Annihilation Array, The years of Zhaoge Demon Array to another interface, thus starting Xiao Zhenren's adventures in the four continents, and it is also Xiao Zhenren's most wonderful story in the Xiuzhen Realm; these three volumes of stories, a small section of Tanhua lasted seven years, and 16 million words were written; and the fourth volume of "Immortal World" and the fifth volume of "Flood Desolate God Realm" are estimated to be completed in more than ten years, so as to fill the pit of the first volume of "Strangers from the Sky".

Let's talk a little about the end of the small paragraph of Tanhua, the end of the small paragraph of Tanhua, whether it is the outer part of the first volume, or the Dawn Rain Continent of Light Escape, and the Four Continents of Light Escape, each article is a classic ending with a literary benchmark. The end of love in the first volume, the origin of strangers from outside the sky, the author dug a big hole that can only be filled after more than ten years, and in the second volume, when your tears ripple in the fall of Master Xiao Hua and his lover, the three major formations and the innate god forbidden in the fairy world seal the Xiaoyu Continent, and the pit that can be filled in the third volume beckons to you from afar. In short, the novel of the small section of Tanhua has a grand structure, a rigorous layout, a huge and complex cultivation system, and the adventure of Xiao Zhenren's cultivation realm can be described as magnificent! And the author has skillfully applied "cross montage" and "parallel montage" in it, and a number of narrative lines unfold, showing you a wonderful "last-minute rescue" that can only be seen in American blockbusters! This is the unique Tanhua, a refreshing "The Legend of Cultivating God"!

2. The shortcomings of Xiao Qian's and Xiao Duan Tanhua novels

1. The shortcomings of Xiao Qian's novels

"Ethereal Journey" and "Qitian Road" are the crowning works of Xiuzhen novels, and with only these two novels, Xiao Qian can occupy a very important position in the history of Xiuzhen novels; It's more commercial considerations (Xiao Qian also has a super evolution, not the type I like, I haven't read it, and I'm not qualified to comment), so Xiao Qian's novels are inevitably in the form of popular online novels, which inevitably have a certain patterned thing, such as all of Xiao Qian's novels, the protagonist will generally drag his family with his mouth, Guo Twelve's family, the sect in Lei Xingfeng's small world, and Mi Xiaojing of the new book "Transcendent Biography" are also dragging a large group of people. In addition, the cultivation mode of the protagonist of Xiao Qian's novel, since "Spike", as long as the protagonist changes a cultivation mode, changes some training scenes and adventure experiences, it can be another book; Of course, the patterning of Xiuzhen's novels, after many imitations and imitations, is unavoidable, to borrow the words of the Bible and Ecclesiastes, "What has been done will be done again, and what has been done will be done again", and there is nothing new under the sun.

2. The shortcomings of the novel

I have said more than once that there are too many idle pens, the rhythm of the novel is not well controlled, and the simple writing is not well handled, resulting in a slow rhythm of the novel and a lengthy plot, and the capacity consumes the reader's patience. The following is about Li Qiang and his people in Xiao Qian's "Ethereal Journey", and talk about Xiao Hua in "The Biography of Xiushen"; of course, this is a matter of personal prejudice, the so-called soup is a pot, and it is difficult to reconcile; compared to the protagonist and supporting role in Xiao Qian's novel and the protagonist and supporting role in Tanhua's novel (the supporting roles in the two novels are described very successfully), I prefer Xiao Qian's Li Qiang, Qingdi, Bogu Master, naïve, etc., in Xiao Qian's pen, they all belong to the same level, there is communication between them, there is tacit understanding, There are filthy and intrigues, but watching them get along, whether it is the infinite starry sky of the ethereal journey, or the interstellar exploration of the divergent road, I can always harvest the truth and emotion of life in them;

In short, in terms of the layout of the novel, digging and filling pits, and various mixed cultivation systems, Xiao Qian is far from being comparable to Tanhua, but for the ultimate thinking and ultimate questioning of human beings, as well as the situation and destiny of human beings, Tanhua is definitely not as good as Xiao Qian, in my opinion, Xiao Qian's ending is a real demeanor of everyone, a kind of philosophical reflection, and the Xiuzhen novels that make us obsessed with will not become a spiritual opium!
