Although Mr. Gu Long and Mr. Jin Yong passed away one after another, they both left a lot of works for future generations to read. A careful study of the works of two old gentlemen will reveal such an interesting phenomenon. Jin Yong likes to add a word to his surname when naming women, while Gu Long will add a reduplication to his surname. What does this mean?
The most familiar female characters in The Condor Heroes, The Legend of the Condor Heroes, The Tale of Liancheng and The Legend of Slaughtering Dragons are all composed of two words. For example, Huang Rong, Guo Xiang, Guo Fu, Cheng Ying, Hua Zheng, Qifang, Shui Sheng, Tao Hong, Juyou, Li Yin and Zhao Min.
As the name suggests, the women in Jin Yong's works are all chivalrous and resourceful. A name consisting of two words always gives people a simple, clear and refreshing feeling. Anyone who has seen these works or TV series remakes knows that most of these female characters are chivalrous women who are loyal to their liver and bravery, and even if there are affectionate parts, they can't hide that loyalty.
The female names that often appear in Gu Long's novels are mostly three words, with surnames and an overlap, such as, Li,,, Tu, Zhang Jiejie, Wen Daidai and so on. These names give people the feeling that they are full of tenderness and show the flexibility of women to the fullest.
What kind of artistic conception would it be if Jin Yong's female name were changed to three words? For example, although Huang Rongrong only added the word "Rong", it lowered a lot of grades, and the whole character would feel fragile and lose his quaint character. Want to come with this personality, also don't deserve to be jing elder brother's favorite woman.
Of course, there is no absolute thing in the world. In Mr. Jin Yong's works, there are no women named after three words. We are familiar with Mu Nianci, Mei Chaofeng, Yang Buhui, Zhou Zhiruo, Zhu Jiuzhen and so on, but after all, it is still relatively rare.
Jin Yong, Gu Long and Liang Yusheng are collectively called the three masters of China's martial arts novels, and their status can be seen. Even if they all describe the martial arts plot, the same material, written by different writers, will inevitably present a completely different style. Maybe it's just a personal preference.
Everyone has a unique experience. Old Mr. Jin Yong has his own opinions and accumulated experience for many years. Coupled with personality reasons, he is more inclined to create a female role that is soft outside and rigid inside, while Mr. Gu Long is more inclined to create a female role that is protected by men. Therefore, he must be a gentle woman with a gentle name.
Whether it is a two-word name or a name composed of three overlapping words, there is one thing in common, that is, it is very pleasant to hear. What do you think of this matter? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
