Cang's Ramblings

Chapter 108 107. Comments on "Hu Wei's Swordsmanship"

Online readers or authors all say that "martial arts is declining" or "martial arts is dead"!
This may be true!

Some people also say “Good wine needs no bush” or “Even good wine needs a bush”, but I think the premise is that the “wine” must be fragrant!
For failed authors, no matter what category they belong to, if they cannot write good works, they will decline!

Then there is no question of classification.

When you decide to join the millions of online writers, the first thing you should do is not to blindly follow the trend and one-sidedly consider the popular categories, because there are popular books in every category.

What you need to do is ask yourself, what kind of books do you like to read the most? What kind of books are you best at writing?
Then, based on your own knowledge background, interests, hobbies, writing style, etc., choose a writing posture that is most comfortable for you and your readers.

Then, your writing journey will be a little longer.

You can’t keep up if you just follow the trend blindly!

The wind blows from the east, west, south and north, and no one knows what kind of wind will blow next?

Below, I will focus on introducing a traditional martial arts novel.

(I personally believe that authors who dare to write traditional martial arts are all heroes who deeply love martial arts!)

"Hu Wei Travels with a Sword", author: Uneducated Gouzi, level 1 author.

Category: Martial Arts - Traditional Martial Arts.

【Introduction】

The sky is covered with snow, why are you wandering around with a sword? If you want to talk about your heart, let's go to the restaurant together.

——Zheng Xie

A martial arts turmoil that should have been eliminated long ago has reappeared in the martial arts world, and the demonic masters that were once feared by everyone have made a comeback without anyone noticing.

At this moment, a fledgling leader of a famous sect, a young scholar who didn't know where to go, and a young man from a noble family who yearned for the martial arts world, these three high-spirited young men traveled the world together by chance. Where should they go in this turbulent martial arts world?
【Brief Comment】

The author is very modest and claims to be uneducated.

He and I had a week-long exhibition in the art exhibition circle in March last year, so we were considered to be PK parties at the same time.

Judging from the exhibition, the dog was deeply influenced by traditional culture and beat me so hard that I had no chance to fight back.

The posts he made not only touched upon traditional culture’s arts of calligraphy, painting, chess, and music, but also told stories of the romantic affairs of many ancient men of letters and poets, including Du Mu, Xin Qiji, Liu Yong, and so on.

Moreover, he himself likes calligraphy, painting, novels, and is particularly good at martial arts.

One could even say that he is a true martial artist.

Based on this point alone, I can only criticize it verbally and in writing.

I dare not take action!
"Hu Wei Zhan Jian You", just based on the title of the book, is not something that an ordinary person can understand.

The title of the book comes from Zheng Xie's poem "Ti Yu Xia Tu" from the Qing Dynasty. The full poem is as follows:

The ground is covered with snow, why are you traveling with a sword?
If you want to talk about your heart, let’s go to the restaurant together.

The poem's profound artistic conception and beautiful imagery leave one yearning for a drink and a chat with the knight-errant. Presumably, this knight-errant, in his youth, was a diligent practitioner, driven by his ideals of helping the poor and the weak and upholding justice.

It seems that the author also has the heroic spirit to travel the world with a sword. However, don’t bring weapons on a plane, or you will definitely not pass security check!
background setting
During the heyday of the Zhenwu Sect, during the election for a new leadership, the leader Xiao Sijun resigned and went down the mountain to become a knight-errant. How cool!
If it were an ordinary novel, after practicing hard, fighting monsters and leveling up, and working on it for hundreds of chapters, one could only dominate a province.

However, it is precisely because of his extraordinary martial arts that he can improve his martial arts by traveling in the mortal world. After all, it is not certain whether a car built behind closed doors can be driven.

Practice is the only criterion for testing truth.

Chapter name setting

The whole article is written in five-character verses with neat parallelism. This excellent style of traditional martial arts writing is far superior to ordinary amateur writing.

character setting
The male protagonist Xiao Sijun and the female protagonist Yu Sujiao have names that are very humanistic. Others include Nian Yunyun, Mu Qiao, Yue Bangyuan, Chi Moyin...

Such delicate names that are common in ancient romance novels for women are unexpectedly numerous in this book.

What is the meaning of the names of Nian Yunyun and Yu Sujiao in the novel?
This problem has been bothering me for several days and I still have no solution.

Martial Arts Settings
Since Gou Zi is a martial artist, I often joke with him, telling him to always remember that a kind person is invincible.

Under his pen, all martial arts moves are well-organized and well-formed.

Not only does each punch hit the flesh, but the damage caused varies depending on the part of the body that is hit.

It's not as casual as in some TV dramas. The person was clearly stabbed in the left chest, but the next second, the bandaged area appeared on the right chest.

One can tell at first glance that he has grasped the true meaning of "The Great Shift of the Universe".

Plot: No spoilers!
In short, it's nothing more than picking up girls, bragging, helping the poor, fighting, saving the country, dominating the martial arts world, retiring, and going home to take care of the kids...

In this way, I can start another novel about a stay-at-home dad, which is also a good peak in life!

Speaking of this, we have to solemnly compare it with a classic historical romance, commercial martial arts, military, political and mysterious novel - "The Son-in-Law".

In this masterpiece, Sister Jiao devoted a large amount of space to describing the happenings in the martial arts world.

Based on the Water Margin and Post-Water Margin, the film depicts a group of heroes who share the funny stories of "When you are in the world, you will inevitably get hurt", as well as the tortuous plot from the distant rivers and lakes to the high official positions.

Especially the main sentence about killing the emperor and putting an end to everything was so clean, neat and crisp that it scared me so much that I quickly hugged my phone and my heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

Among them are the unique characters: "Blood Hand Butcher" Ning Liheng, "River and Mountain Iron Sword" Lu Hongti, "The Greatest Hero" Zhou Tong, and "The Family Bully" Liu Daxigua Biao...

It’s the same martial arts, the same world of martial arts, but with different feelings!

It is just like the saying: "Thank heaven, thank earth, thank fate for letting us meet..."

So, lovely authors who are still full of passion, open your eyes and take a good look at this vast world of online literature.

Don’t forget your original intention and keep on trying!
In this way, we can go further and further and more freely!

【Cang's Ramblings】

The above article introduced a book by a good friend. This article will introduce another good friend from the past.

He probably doesn't write books or hang out in groups anymore.

This may also be the reason why I no longer hang out in those groups.

Because water groups are toxic and it is difficult to help yourself except wasting time.

Of course, when you are tired of typing, you can go to the group to see what others are saying. You can read it as a joke and accumulate some materials at the same time.

It can be said to be "collecting folk songs on the spot"!
Although we have been in less contact recently, it is still wonderful every time I think of the days when we wrote books and competed with each other.

I can’t always recommend books by great authors. If you want to read books by great authors, just take a look at the list.

Since you have clicked on this book, it must be suitable for all ages, so that the first-level authors can get more sunlight.

This scene makes people want to write two poems!

Forget it, I'll just send out a congratulatory message.

My original post on Baidu was verified today, and the number of fans increased by more than 900; and the number of fans on Toutiao also increased by 1000!

Maybe from now on, I will also be a self-media expert!
