I think Mr. Jin Yong's position in the novel world is insurmountable.
In contrast, Jin Yong's traditional narrative is gorgeous and diverse, excavating people's inner world from history and analyzing the psychological process of bad people and good people. For example, the storytelling skills of healing in the secret room in The Condor Heroes are absolutely ingenious. Then there is the cultural description in the text, such as poetry, utensils, calligraphy, politics, music and so on. , is complex and diverse. Jin Yong is an epic story in a vast time and space.
From Jin Yong's works, you have come into contact with a lot, such as shooting snow at the White Deer Plain, laughing at fairy tales, or at least completing six most important novels: The Trilogy of the Condor Shooting, Eight Dragons, the legendary swordsman and The Duke Of Mount Deer. Even if you don't read Jin Yong's books, film and television dramas and many classic pop songs have great influence.
From the perspective of literary criticism, Jin Yong has greatly promoted the height of martial arts novels by himself. I think Jin Yong's role is irreplaceable. He created a brand-new martial arts world, and this achievement is unmatched by others. There are many authors of martial arts novels, but none can compare with Jin Yong. Only Gu Long can match Jin Yong.
In reality, it is impossible for future generations to surpass Jin Yong. The peak of the creation of martial arts novels has obviously passed, and it is impossible for people to have the cultural background and life experience like Jin Yong. I think the era of Jin Yong, the first person in martial arts novels, has passed, and we will never know it in the future.
