Chapter 20 what is love

This is a word that Jin Dynasty Yuan Hao asked. What is love?It is a unique mark of Jin Yong's martial arts novels. When we read many chapters of his works, we seem to hear Li Mochou's lingering, melancholy, and inexplicably sad songs. Indeed, throughout the ages, the universe is boundless. On the stage of life, how many men and women have played the roles of joys and sorrows from generation to generation.Whether it is a lowly person like a commoner, a chariot seller, or a famous family member or a hero, there are very few people who can penetrate the private relationship of their children, even if they only want to understand what "love" is, I am afraid it is even more difficult.The vast majority of living beings have been rolling in the sea of ​​love for a lifetime, loving and hating, greedy and regretful, causing so many troubles, stirring up the world of mortals, bustling and bustling, and in the end, a pile of loess covered up so many romances .

What is love?This question is indeed difficult to answer, and its connotation and extension have caused many wise men and ordinary people to comprehend it with great effort.Even today, the most avant-garde scientists in Europe and the United States are trying their best to explain it from a scientific point of view, even looking for answers from mysterious physiology and psychology such as brain waves, endocrine, and the sixth sense, but it is still difficult to say why. However, when a person is emotional, changes in behavior and personality are clearly visible, and various characteristics of personality are thus fully revealed.It should be said that it is the best moment to observe a person when he is emotional.It can make the quiet become unrestrained, the crazy become gentle, the indifferent become passionate, the good become bad, and the bad become good.Just like a magic stick, with a slight twist, a colorful world of ups and downs will emerge.

It is from this that Jin Yong writes about love and shows his ability to understand love.This is where he surpasses his predecessors and baffles future generations: he neither "holds the pipa and half hides his face", nor falls into the mode of "only talking about love and romance".In order to reveal the essence of human beings from love, to restore the truth of human beings, and to conceive works based on this, Jin Yong often picks up the magical factors in love lightly and arranges them slightly, which makes many situations in life that are already a foregone conclusion , and presents the realm of "mountains and rivers are full of doubts and no way out, and the willows are dark and the flowers are bright and another village", so there are new turning points and changes, new explanations and sayings, and new ways out and endings.

When Jin Yong described the love entanglements of the characters, he was so serene, reserved and exquisite. With only a few words and a few strokes, the characters' moods were vividly displayed on the paper. Desirable and indescribable feelings also leave ample room for imagination to the readers.As someone pointed out, he doesn't deal with the various changes in love in a roundabout way, but just nods to the "love" business card, which is very vivid.But it is precisely because of this unusual way of writing that the love stories in Jin Yong's novels are unique and different, which makes people feel special.

The most important part of Jin Yong's novels is the unswerving love and sex.For many readers, it is even more intriguing than the flashes of swords and shadows of martial arts heroes, and more attractive than the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains and the setting sun on ancient roads.If there is no kindness, resentment, endless entanglement in love, without these feelings that only lower your brows, but worry about your heart, etc., then I believe that many of Jin Yong's works will not have the charm they have today. , as the name suggests, the article is about the emotional trajectories of two pairs of heroes.If there is no life-and-death love between Yang Guo and Xiaolongnv, Guo Jing and Huang Rong's deep love between husband and wife; if there is no ups and downs and despair on the love road of Li Mochou, Gongsun Lue, Guo Fu and others, then the appreciation value of the novel will definitely be greatly reduced , where can the remaining muscles and bones be wonderful? "Defend Xiangyang to the death" certainly shows Guo Jing's loyalty and bravery, "Touching Kindness" certainly sets off Huang Rong's wit, and masters such as Dongxie, Xidu, Nandi, and Beibei are certainly admirable, but they can all be regarded as twigs, not the main line.These contents may still be important plots in the novel, but they are not as attractive as Yin Zhiping's infatuated and hateful character, and even less as charming as Guo Xiang's young daughter who is in love with Dou Chukai.

Love is indeed a major foundation of Jin Yong's novels, and he developed it through love, from which he has a deeper understanding of human nature.It makes the characters in his works richer and more complete in character, which also makes the works have undeniable literary value. Compared with Guo Jing, Yang Guo's path of chivalry and path of love are not so smooth and natural.Yang Guo was in an unrighteous environment when he was very young, and his personality was not as upright and thick as Guo Jingping.The love between him and Xiaolongnv is full of twists and turns.He and Xiao Longnv had a relationship as mentor and apprentice. In the ethical society at that time, it was considered rebellious and immoral to love each other between master and apprentice. Therefore, even if she was exquisite and transparent, people who did not stick to the rules like Huang Rong had advised them separately.In addition, Guo Jing very much wanted him to be his eldest son-in-law, even though he and Guo Fu had always quarreled when they met, and Guo Fu had cut off one of his arms in the end.

Of course, the saddest part is still with Xiao Longnv. First, she thinks she is older than Yang Guo, and second, she has been irresistibly deprived of her virginity by Yin Zhiping, and feels unworthy of Yang Guo. He and Guo Fu formed a pair and actively avoided, which made things more complicated.But Yang Guo has always been infatuated. When the two really got along, the twists and turns and bad luck came one after another: Xiaolongnv was injured in Chongyang Palace, and her life was in danger. To save Yang Guo, Xiao Longnu committed suicide by jumping into the abyss in the Valley of Unfeeling.

Yang Guo rushed to the Valley of Unrequited Love, but there was no trace of Xiaolongnu, because he saw Xiaolongnu's handwriting on the mountain wall, which said: "We will meet again here in 16 years; the love between husband and wife is deep, don't break the promise." After sixteen years, the appointment finally came. Sure enough, he had been waiting by the valley, but: The reason why Yang Guo survived the sixteen years of waiting was to see Xiaolongnv again.The longing for the lovers to meet again made him endure the loneliness and wandering that ordinary people could not bear.Sixteen years later, when he realized that everything was empty and that everything was a well-intentioned deception, he collapsed, became fragile, and lost all thoughts. Suddenly, he remembered Su Dongpo's words in mourning for his late wife Wang Fu :

But at the same time, he felt that Su Dongpo still had the "Lonely Grave for Thousands of Miles", and he really had "nowhere to talk about desolation". In an instant, his blood surged, he kicked his feet, and his body flew up, jumping into the place where Xiaolongnv once lived sixteen years ago. In the vast abyss that jumped down. Perhaps Jin Yong himself was touched by Yang Guo's deep affection when he wrote this.In his tragic complex, uncharacteristically, he arranged a comedy ending for Yang Guo and Xiaolongnv: it turns out that Xiaolongnv jumped down, not only did not die, but got a magic prescription to remove all the poison in the body, but the bottom of the valley was deep and deep. , can't come out again.Yang Guo also jumped down, and the fateful mandarin ducks met again.At the end of the story, the two finally became a couple of immortals and drifted away hand in hand.

Love doesn't make sense. Why love him (her)?I only know that to love him (her) is to love her (him), and everything else can be ignored. In the realm of love, sectarian distinctions, distinctions between good and evil, loyalty and villainy, and other moral judgments play no role at all.When a person falls in love with another person, no matter whether he is a villain or a murderer, he is still deeply affectionate and doesn't care. In real life, even great writers like Eileen Chang are not immune.The Hu Lancheng she loves is actually a traitorous literati with a romantic nature.However, she never seemed to regret it.

Ding Dang in the novel just likes a prodigal son rather than a loyal and honest young man. Ji Xiaofu, Bao Xiruo and Mu Nianci are more typical. Yang Guo's father, Yang Kang, can be described as a complete villain. He considers a thief as his father, is unfaithful and unfilial, unkind, cruel, never trusts his friends, and only plays tricks on love, playing and using Mu Nianci's feelings.But Mu Nianci fell in love with Yang Kang at first sight, and fell in love deeply and couldn't extricate himself.Knowing that she was deceived by him, she still did not change her original intention, still loved him deeply, and was willing to be fooled by him.Mu Nianci couldn't bear to kill him until Yang Kang's actions completely collapsed Mu Nianci's faith and he couldn't bear the blow psychologically.She was so conflicted in her heart that she wished she could die. In the end, she had to leave in pain, and let Yang Kang continue to harm the world, cruel Zhongliang, until he committed many injustices and committed suicide. This obsession is really painful, and it makes people palpitate.Jin Yong's portrayal of this kind of blind love and unreasonable love in human nature is so vivid that it makes people feel so real and credible, which cannot but be said to be his brilliance. Unrequited love is the most frustrating and difficult to talk about. In Jin Yong's first novel, Yu Yutong fell in love with Luo Bing secretly, thinking about it day and night, getting deeper and deeper.Later, when Luo Bing was in a deep sleep, he wanted to kiss her, but she woke up and scolded him angrily, as described in the novel: The infatuation so far is both beautiful and sad.One can imagine the pain in the heart of loving so strongly a person who is doomed to have no hope.In the end, Yu Yutong risked his life to save Luo Bing's husband, his handsome face turned into a disfigured face, but he didn't regret it at all.Such love is truly selfless.In fact, only for the happiness of the loved one. In the book, there are also a few women's infatuated love, which is fruitless.Because Yang Guo is only tied to Xiaolongnv, and let their dreams come to naught, except that Wushan is not a cloud.In Lin Yanni's words, it was "once I saw Yang Guo, I missed my life". In fact, it is more than a lifetime?Gongsun Lue simply "sacrificed" this love with his life without hesitation.The two girls, Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang, lived in seclusion in Hangzhou together. They had a great time, and they were buried in the longing for Yang Guo and the aftertaste of everything they experienced together.And Guo Xiang also fled to Emei, staying away from the vortex of emotions all her life, just pretending that there were no other men in the world. Generally, innocent women have an infatuation for the man they love or have loved, no matter how time changes, which makes men unreasonable.In the future, they may talk about Yang Guo, or they may never talk about it, but no matter what, the feelings of "Reminiscence on the Phoenix Stage" will fill their days from now on, allowing them to be fulfilled in silence. , there is joy in pain. But whether in life or in Jin Yong's novels, there are not many who can reach the realm of Yu Yutong, Gongsun Lue, Cheng Ying, Lu Wushuang, Guo Xiang and so on.Most obsessions lead to tragic results, which makes people sigh.Many of these characters can be easily picked up in Jin Yong's novels: Yin Zhiping to Little Dragon Girl, He Hongyao to Jin Snake Langjun, Li Mochou to Lu Zhanyuan, Wu Santong to He Yuanjun, Di Yun to Qi Fang, You Tanzhi to Azi, Azi to Qiao Feng, Yin Li and Xiao Zhao to Zhang Wuji , Yilin vs. Linghuchong, Linghuchong vs. Yue Lingshan, Yue Lingshan vs. Lin Pingzhi, Huo Qingtong vs. Chen Jialuo, Yu Wanting vs. Xu Chaosheng, Huazheng vs. Guo Jing, Ouyangke vs. Huang Rong, Mu Nianci vs. Yang Kang, Liu Yinggu vs. Zhou Botong... If you want to list it in detail, you can continue to write a series of names of bitter lovers. Frustrated love often makes people perverse.Guo Fu is a very typical case.Guo Fu's love for Yang Guo turned into hatred, and she cut off one of Yang Guo's arms.The regret of Guo Fu's life is not getting Yang Guo's love.Yang Guo rescued Yeluqi, Guo Fu's husband, in the midst of thousands of troops.Yang Guo also said some polite words, and said that she would not hate him or hate him in the future.Guo Fu froze on the spot: "Do I hate him? Do I really hate him?...Why do I always hate him for no reason? It's just because I secretly think about him and miss him. But he didn't Take me to heart." In the novel, Guo Fu's love for Yang Guo is not written much, but it is like a flash of inspiration, and I believe many readers have not noticed it.It turns out that a woman who hates you may love you.Hate and love are so indistinguishable. The so-called hate is also long, love is also long.
