Xia Yan Kyougoku's personal experience.

Natsuhiko Kyougoku, born in 1963, once worked in the so-called image design. In fact, he was one of the monster painters in modern times, alongside Shigeru Mizuki, Kazuo Umezu and Junji Ito. The hero of the gyeonggi hall series, gyeonggi hall, is actually an ideal mapping of the author himself. Xia Yan's reputation as a Kyougoku monster painter lies precisely in that he is a master of Gyeonggi Hall. He is a famous Japanese contemporary monster scholar and a self-styled Kyoto master. Xia Yanjingjiu himself is a writer of mystery novels, but as an enthusiastic supporter of Shigeru Mizuki, the most important Japanese monster painter in modern times, and even claiming to be a disciple of Shigeru Mizuki, Jingjiu also has unparalleled influence in the monster world. Its crazy demon-pushing culture is definitely one of the important factors that set off the monster fever in Japan. It is his profound attainments in monster culture that make him different from ordinary mystery novelists. Masterpieces of monster paintings include "The Devil Map" and "The White Scene of the Devil in Xiaozhai". (This passage is all from Illustrated Ghost Night.)

The greatest feature of Xia hiko Kyougoku's works is that apart from taking different monsters as the theme of each novel, he also tries to infer some invisible events in the invisible world through Akihiko, the exorcist in the story, so as to find a truth that cannot be satisfactorily explained by daily knowledge or religious superstition. From the essence of mystery novels, Xia Yan Gong Jiugu never tried to explain the truth of events with traditional scientific rationality, which is indeed the biggest difference from ordinary and even new writers. It is precisely for this reason that there are two different types of detectives in the story at the same time, one is the genius detective Mu Jinmu, and the other is the Zen Temple between science and superstition. In the first work "Summer of Bird Hunting" of "Nights of Hundred Ghosts", the author has repeatedly stated his views through the mouth of Zen Temple Akihiko, which is not superstitious or incredible. The so-called "monster" is the expression of specific events and emotions in specific Japanese culture. "Eliminating demons" is the process of interpreting the truth according to the "types of monsters" and then solving the knot for the parties. But he doesn't admit that he is "scientific", and "science" is also a kind of belief in his eyes, which is a blind denial of the "unscientific" belief in the field that cannot be studied. And "heart" can never be quantified, so scientific research can't be done.

The series of novels of Jingjitang have distinctive characters, wonderful layout, complex structure and charm. As soon as these books were published, they were welcomed by the public, with readers of all ages and all walks of life. Natsuhiko Kyougoku is known as the creator of "God" for his amazing creative speed.

Although Xia Yan Kyougoku's writing speed is no longer as fast as when he first debuted, his development direction is more diversified. In the field of novels, there are two series of Xia Yan Jinggu's works, namely "Ghosts Walking at Night" series and "Stories in Alleys" series, and some non-series novels. In addition to novels, it also includes monster research, monster drawing, cartoon creation, original animation script and dubbing, drama guest performance, work reading, interviews with all parties, book binding design and so on. His activity can be seen in many fields, and what is even more surprising is his diverse talents.

Xia Yan Kyougoku's mystery novels can become classics in the new era of mystery, largely because he describes the internal "motives" and "environmental reasons" of criminals, turns these obscure human psychology into "monsters" to describe, endows them with concrete images and solves them with "expulsion". In this case, it greatly surpasses the western detective novels. Xia Yan Kyougoku does not stick to the clues of physical crimes, has no high-tech crime-solving machine, and pays attention to the analysis and understanding of human "heart".

So it is better than the previous detective novels and closer to the essence. Can be said to be a master of reasoning!
