Lyrics of knight literature

The British system developed around the legend of Guk Wang Yase, which mainly wrote the story of King Arthur and his knights of the Round Table. These stories have been circulating in western European countries for a long time. The French poet Kreddine de Troya (12nd century) is the representative writer of this system. His main works are Lancelot or Knight of the Car (1 165? ), Ivan or the Lion Knight (1 175? ), Peswaller or the legend of the holy grail (1 180? )。 Lancelot is the most typical knight legend, which describes the love between Lancelot, the knight of King Arthur, and Yeni, the queen who loves Buddha. In order to find Yeni's love for the Buddha, Lancelot sacrificed his knight's honor, got into a car instead of riding a horse, and then risked his life to climb a bridge as sharp as a sword. No matter whether Yeni loves Buddha or orders him to back down or fight back, he is obedient and absolutely loyal. He embodies the knight's concept of love. Peswaller wrote that knights searched everywhere for the holy grail containing the blood of Christ, full of mysterious fantasies. German poet Hartmann von Orr (1 170? - 12 15? ), wolfram von Eisenbach (1 170- 1220) and others all wrote long knight legends based on Chretien's works.

Tristan and Ezelle (12nd century) also belong to the British system, and they are popular Arthurian legends in Germany and France. Only the remnants of two French poets, Bellevue and Thomas (both in the12nd century) and German poet gottfried von Strasbourg (whose creation period was about 1205- 1220) were preserved. According to this legend, Tristan and Ethel accidentally drank a kind of medicinal liquor, whose function is to make people love each other forever. They were brutally persecuted by Ethel's husband, King Mark, but their love never died. This story affirms the knight's love and describes it as an irresistible force. In this respect, it conflicts with the Christian religious moral view that love is evil. Byzantine works written with late Byzantine ancient Greek stories. Ogasan and Nicolette (13rd century) wrote that Ogasan, a noble son, fell in love with Nicolette, a slave girl, and was opposed by his father. For the sake of love, he forgot the chivalrous responsibility of defending the country and resisting foreign enemies. This legend shows that chivalry has declined in the two or three hundred years from Roland to Olga. In Olga Sen and Nicolette, singing and narration overlap each other, with the singing part written in verse and the narration part in prose.

The legend of knight reflects narrow life and more fictional elements. It often takes one or two knights as the central figure, and organizes their adventures into a long story, which describes in detail the appearance, inner activities and life details of the characters, and the dialogue is lively. These artistic features make the knight legend initially have the scale of modern novels.
