Today, let's talk about those martial arts in the Republic of China
Of course, they write martial arts novels, and naturally there are many of these authors who are really good at kung fu. They are called old-school martial arts masters. As for the later unification of Jin Yong, Gu Long, Liang Yusheng, etc., they were called new-school martial arts. The watershed was roughly around 1950. Due to the tense cross-strait relations, the National Party’s defense unit implemented the "Measures for the Control of Publications During the Martial Law Period" in 1951, strictly banning the works of so-called bandit-affiliated elements, which made the old-school martial arts novels increasingly unique. The domestic suppression of bandits and rectifying some of the old China trends. As for Hong Kong, it is also very chaotic, and people should not be in the mood to read martial arts novels.
1. Let’s talk about two big bulls first, and go south to north to Zhao.
‘Southward’---Pingjiang Buxiao Sheng, Xiang Kairan (1889-1957)
He was the first knight in the 1920s and led the southern martial arts trend. He was from Pingjiang, Hunan. He loved literature and martial arts since he was a child, and both had profound attainments. He went to Japan twice to study, and his career in literature and martial arts began here. In terms of martial arts, he had a lot of relationships with Japanese Jiu-jitsu and swordsmen, and his kung fu made great progress. After returning to China, he participated in the anti-Yuan Movement and the Great Revolution. In 1932, he returned to Hunan to establish the National Art Training Institute and the National Art Club. He is a famous modern martial arts activist. His martial arts
He also has a deep theoretical foundation, and has written monographs such as "Boxing Experiences and Experiences", "Boxing Records of the Story of the Boxer", "Boxing Master's Words and Deeds", and "Boxing Classic Lecture Notes". His literary career was originally when he was studying in Japan, and he did not enter school and traveled around every day. He was quite familiar with Japanese brothels (mainly low-level brothels) and the lower class. He wrote the novel "The History of Residing in the East" condemnation of the current situation of students studying in Japan in the late Qing Dynasty. However, after returning to China, the bookstore only promised to pay triangular royalties for every thousand words, which dampened his enthusiasm.
In 1922, in response to the appointment of the World Bookstore, he began to concentrate on martial arts creation. His debut martial arts work "The Legend of the Legend of the Warriors in Jianghu" was launched and continued to write again and again, establishing his position in modern martial arts. In Shanghai, he did not like socializing, and lived in a very narrow building with a concubine, a dog, and a monkey. Every midnight, he began to write until dawn. He wrote small fly heads on paper less than a foot, and could write 1450 to 1780 words per line, but it was straight, which was a wonder among modern literati. After liberation, Xiang Kairan became a monk and died of illness at the age of 68.
The works include: "The Legend of the Legend of the Rivers and Lakes", "The Legend of the Rivers and Lakes", "The Legend of the Rivers and Lakes", "The Legend of the Rivers and Lakes", "The Legend of the Rivers and Lakes", "The Legend of the Rivers and Lakes", "The Legend of the Rivers and Lakes", "The Legend of the Rivers and Lakes", and I deleted some of the things I can't find.
The "Burning Red Lotus Temple" that later became popular all over the country was adapted from his works.
2. "Northern Zhao" - Qixia Jingzhong, Zhao Huanting (1877-1951)
His name is Fuzhang, Huanting is his name, also known as Huanting; he is from Yutian, Hebei. He was born in an official family. He was from a wealthy family when he was young and received a good education. He also traveled with his father to Shandong, Hunan, Sichuan and other places. Every time he gained something, he recorded it casually and accumulated a lot of materials. He wrote concise classical Chinese notes, and wrote "Jinxizhai Congtan", which included many secrets in officialdom and literary anecdotes, as well as the historical novel "The Painful History of the Late Ming Dynasty" and the retribution novel "Cycle Mirror".
Zhao Huanting's martial arts novels began in 1923. This book was named as the "Book of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the People. His attitude was also very good, and newspapers and magazines in the north and south asked him for manuscripts.
He always responded to his requests, and even small newspapers, he happily ordered his writing. Later, because those small newspapers often had not lived long and had less than half of their long articles, they had stopped publishing. Such half-papers were not welcomed by other publications, and there was no way to put them on. There were as many as 10 kinds of such manuscripts. Some of them were owed to manuscript fees and ignored them again and again, which caused him to suffer a great loss. Thinking that instead of throwing his efforts in vain, it was better to burn inks and put pens on them. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Zhao Huanting basically withdrew from the literary world, specializing in calligraphy, and made a living by selling his characters, and no longer had new martial arts works to the world.
"Bei Zhao" novels in total: "The Complete Biography of the Legend of the Heroes", "Anecdotes of the Great Heroes and One Official", "The Legend of the Three Heroes of the Yin School", "The Legend of the Heroes and the Country"

3. Three powerful generals in the martial arts world: Gu Mingdao, Wen Gongzhi, and Yao Minai.
Gu Mingdao, whose real name is Gu Jingcheng (1896 or 1897-1944), is from Suzhou, Jiangsu. He graduated from Zhensheng Middle School run by the church and stayed at school to teach, and was baptized as a Christian. In his early years, he became famous by writing social romance novels with a pseudonym "Mei Qiannu Shi". When he was young, he suffered from skeletal tuberculosis and was not good at doing things. He stayed up late to make a living and got a manuscript. Unfortunately, he contracted tuberculosis in 1944 and died in Shanghai. He was both romance and martial arts.
Gu Mingdao is a prolific writer. He was originally known as a social romance novel. He is a member of the "Star Club" of the Mandarin duck butterfly school literary group. Such as "Zhengyi Zhaizhu", "Mei Qiannu Shi", "Tiger-headed Scholar", and "Stone Po Tian Shocking Master" are all named after him. His works such as "Naihetian", "Pengmen Red Tears", and "Hua Caly Hate" are all very popular, and their reputations are not inferior to Zhang Henshui and Zhou Shoujuan.
In 1929, he became famous in the series "The Wilderness Heroes" attached to the Newspaper "Happy Forest". He created a total of 18 martial arts works in his life, and his representative work "The Wilderness Heroes" was "The Wilderness Heroes".
4. Wen Gongzhi
His family background was profound and began to study classics and history at the age of five. His mother was well-versed in ancient times and modern times, and had annotated the Tao Te Ching and wrote "Ming History Rights and Mistakes". She enlightened Wen Gongzhi to say: "If a child learns history, he should seek it outside the twenty-four histories." Wen Gongzhi has since broadened his horizons of history, came into contact with unofficial history and historical novels, and embarked on the road of writing historical chapters and novels. Wen Gongzhi left his hometown at the age of thirteen and went north, entered the military academy, and had the opportunity to explore European and Japanese classics and world history. After graduating from the military academy, he worked in the military. From 1916 to 1917, he participated in the military. He joined the war to fight against Yuan and protect the law. Later, he was promoted to at least generals, and his footprints were spread across the northeast and southwest provinces. In 1921, he served in the Hunan Army. In 1922, he was in the military prison during the Hunan-Hubei war. He read the hand-copied "The Strange Injustice" written by Yu Qian's deeds, and was deeply inspired. He was released from prison a year later and returned to his old subordinates. Due to military failure, he went to Shanghai alone. He was hired by the Pacific Wubao and was appointed as an editor. From then on, he devoted himself to writing. Wen Gongzhi wrote seven martial arts novels, among which the trilogy "Blue Blood and Danxin" is the most outstanding.
5, Yao Min Ai
The real name is Yao Zhen, also known as Xiao Yao, and his courtesy name is Tiantan, and his pseudonym Min'ai. The stage name of the calligraphy world is Zhu Lan'an (also known as Lai'an). The pen name is the country man, Hua'e Tower owner, the guardian army, Xiao Yao, Lao Ye, Zhiqing, Lingfeng, etc. The room name is Hua'e Tower, Xi'an, Zhilan'an, etc. Together with Wengongzhi and Gu Mingdao, Gu Mingdao, he is known as the three powerful generals of the martial arts world. He is the backbone of the "Nanshe". As a storyteller, he created the original "chanting tune" and is good at speaking "outside the book", and is called "true is Liu Jingting of the time".
He was a documentary of the American businessman Citigroup Tobacco Company, and traveled to search for secrets of party associations everywhere. In 1923, his first martial arts novel "The Legend of the Horse in Shandong" was published in "Detective World" edited by Cheng Xiaoqing. The publication time is almost the same as the "Legend of the Legend of Jianghu" by Pingjiang Buxiaosheng, a recognized pioneer of "Modern Martial Arts Novels". Compared with the later "Four Masters of Martial Arts in the North", Yao Minai was a real pioneer. Yao Minai did not like monsters and eroticism, and was not good at martial arts descriptions, but he could take advantage of his familiarity with the inside story of the gang to capitalize gang stories. Later, this writing technique was inherited by Zheng Zhengyin and became an important group of the northern martial arts.
In 1923, the "Lincheng Carjacking Case" gave Yao Min'ai an opportunity to create martial arts novels. Sun Meiyao, a famous big bandit in Shandong, hijacked international trains and kidnapped domestic and foreign celebrities such as the niece of US President Roosevelt, and created the global shocking "Lincheng Carjacking Case". Look at the underworld, there are so many great things; today's underworld knows that bullying civilians and have no future. After hearing the news, Yao Min'ai immediately rushed to Shandong for investigation and inquiries, and quickly published his first martial arts in "Detective World"
The novel "The Legend of the Horse in Shandong" was later made into a movie. This year, several masterpieces that are famous for the history of martial arts novels were released together. They are Pingjiang Buxiaosheng's "The Legend of the Legend of the World", "The Legend of the Legend of the World in Modern Chivalrous Heroes", "The Legend of the World in Jianghu", Zhao Huanting's "The Legend of the Legend of the World in Jianghu" and Yao Min'ai's "The Legend of the World in Shandong". These five works are collectively called the "Five Legends of the Mountain" of modern martial arts. Therefore, together with Pingjiang Buxiaosheng and Zhao Huanting, Yao Min'ai set off the first climax of modern Chinese martial arts novels.
6. The later "original hero of immortals" Huanzhu Tower leader Li Minshou, the "tragic chivalrous school" Wang Dulu, the "social irony" Gong Baiyu, the "gang martial arts school" Zheng Zhengyin, and the "strange mystery school" Zhu Zhenmu, all known as the "Five Great Masters of the Northern School".
Li Shoumin grew up in Changshou County, Sichuan (now Changshou District, Chongqing) with high mountains and deep waters. He had a long face. He traveled with his father since he was a child. He once went to Emei three times and Qingcheng four times. The descendants of the immortal magic lineage of Lu Zuwu and Liu Tianxian were impressed by him. Although he had only attended a private school, he had all the experience of Taoist medicine and fortune-telling. His father died at the age of 12 and his family was in decline. At the age of 19, he moved to Tianjin with his mother, working in the "Ta Kung Pao", and also worked as a tutor.
At the age of 23, it seemed that Fu Zuoyi invited him to join him. After marriage, he was the secretary of the Tianjin Telephone Bureau and also wrote Peking Opera scripts. His novel debut "Wheel Hoof" signed "Hunzhu Tower Master", and he told himself about his running experience and a teenager (at the age of 12, he fell in love with his teenager (at the age of 12, he met a girl Wenzhu who was 3 years older than him. This girl has a pretty face, a gentle personality, and plays a good pipa. The two of them are childhood sweethearts, and they are young, and gradually develop feelings and are inseparable. When Li Shoumin was 16 years old, he finally realized that he was in the middle of the day.
In his first love, Li Shoumin was forced to go north to Tianjin to make a living. After he broke up with Wen Zhu, he still wrote letters from time to time. Unexpectedly, God did not follow the wishes of others, and Wen Zhu fell into the fireworks team. After that, the news was not heard, which caused Li Shoumin to suffer a painful mental blow. Until Li Shoumin got married, he still thought of Wen Zhu from time to time.), and took the poetic meaning of "Returning the Pearl to the Joyful Woman" by Zhang Ji, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, "Returning the Pearl to Shed tears" to "returning the Pearl to Shed in tears" at that time. At that time, northern martial arts novels were very popular, and Li Shoumin himself also wanted to write down the landscape characters he had experienced into notes.
Around 1930, Tianjin's "Tianfeng Daily" lacked a martial arts novel. Under the instigation of his family, he wrote the title of "The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan" day by day, and the title of the owner of the Zhu Tower began to sound. His desire for creation increased, and coupled with the pressure of life, he wrote for 8 newspapers and magazines at the most. After he was addicted to smoking, he talked about the world and asked someone to record it on his behalf, which was a beautiful article.
After the Japanese invaded North China, the Japanese asked him to jointly run a publication, but he refused, so he was arrested and imprisoned for two months. After being released from prison, his life was very difficult. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he went to Shanghai again. Mr. Lu from Zhengqi Bookstore advised him not to enter the political and military circles anymore, and to live in Shanghai to write articles. Life could always be maintained. So he lived on the north side of the old garbage bridge in Shanghai and wrote until 1948.
After liberation, he wrote a public review of the absurd novels of the gods and monsters in the newspaper in 1956. Later, he served as a member of the Beijing Opera Director Committee, wrote some plays, and wrote the novel "Ju Meng". In 1959, he suffered a stroke and died in March 1961.
This guy has practiced Tai Chi, Shaolin Fist, Baguazhang, Five-style Plum Blossom Fist, and can also use a stud.
He is also a pair of good friends with Peking Opera performing artist Shang Xiaoyun.
Li Shoumin is a qualified drama fan. Once, after the show ended, he went straight to the backstage and said, "Overyone only knows that martial arts plays need to be sing literary, but not the literary, but the literary, in fact, their principle is one, which is to focus on the combination of movement, stillness, coldness, hardness, softness, and urgency. The martial arts plays can avoid being too 'fire'; the martial arts plays can prevent being too 'warm'. It is a good show that it is not 'warm'. It is not 'warm' or 'warm', and it is reasonable. Boss Shang's performance can be able to sing literary and martial arts plays, which is the unique feature of the show. If there are more literary plays for singing martial arts plays, it would be even better." Shang Xiaoyun was confused on the spot.
A few days later, Li Shoumin sent "Han Mingfei" specially customized for Shang Xiaoyun, which shocked Shang Xiaoyun. Since then, Li Shoumin actually became the special screenwriter of Mr. Shang Xiaoyun. The "Chongqing Club" organized by Shang Xiaoyun has rehearsed a series of new plays, including "Mo Dai", "Zhuo Wenjun", "Lin Siniang", "The Nineteen Heroes of Qingcheng", etc., which were all written by Li Shoumin.
He has written 36 martial arts novels throughout his life: "The Legend of the Sword Heroes of Shushan" and "The Nineteen Heroes of Qingcheng" and other 11 novels born in the Immortals (Sword Heroes) series, which describe the struggle between good and evil between the two schools of sword immortals. His writing is gorgeous, poetic, magnificent, and magnificent. He also integrates the philosophy of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism in one furnace, with far-reaching meanings; 25 martial arts novels including "The Story of the Sea of Clouds and Seas" and "The Gorge of Military Books", advocates the worship of good and eliminate evil, filial piety and righteous heroes, and commends people's value and dignity. The works of martial arts in Zhu Zhu have inspired famous martial arts masters such as Zheng Zhengyin, Zhu Zhenmu, Liang Yusheng, Jin Yong, and Gu Long.
But this guy has too many works.
7. Wang Dulu, "Tracial Chivalrous Clan"
Wang Dulu's life was very difficult after adulthood. In the 29th year of the Republic of China, he received help from a friend and published his martial arts debut "The Legend of the Heyue Heroes" in the Qingdao Xinmin Daily. Since then, he began his lifelong martial arts creation. Although Wang Dulu's martial arts creation is very famous, it happened to be during the War of Resistance Against Japan and his income was not very rich. He often had to do odd jobs everywhere to support his family. After the War of Resistance Against Japan, Shanghai Lili Publishing House was going to republish his
His work was abandoned halfway due to the liberation of Shanghai; in 1956, he once became a member of the Shenyang Municipal CPPCC, but he encountered the Cultural Revolution and his identity was removed. It can be said that his life was very bumpy. Until 1977, Wang Dulu passed away, which ended his miserable life. Therefore, his works are very sad and are called tragic martial arts, but look at the effect of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" being arranged by Li Cheng to know how awesome this guy is.
Representative works: "The Crane Shocks Kunlun", "The Sword and Gold Hairpin", "The Sword and Pearl Light", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and "Iron Cavalry and Silver Bottle" are its representative works.
8. "Social Irony" Gong Baiyu
Gong Baiyu, whose original name was Gong Wanxuan, changed his name to Gong Zhuxin. He was originally from Dong'a, Shandong Province. He was born in Machang, Qingxian, Hebei Province in 1899. His father was a manager in the Beiyang New Army. Gong Baiyu studied in Tianjin when he was young. He grew up and went to Beijing to study. He began to create literature at the age of fifteen or sixteen. Due to the influence of the May Fourth Movement, his thoughts pursued progress. He received great help from Zhou Zuoren and Lu Xun brothers. "The Complete Works of Lu Xun" contains seven long letters to him. He has received guidance from Lu Xun in literary theory, literary creation and literary translation. The prose written by this guy is really average, so he knows that he will change his career.
In the 1930s, Chinese attack novels were popular. Gong Baiyu had to concentrate his intelligence in literary creation for the livelihood of a family of seven, and began his career in martial arts novels. Gong Baiyu's first attack novel was "Yellow Flower Calamity". Soon he and another martial arts novel writer Zheng Zhengyin co-wrote the first half of "Twelve Money Darts" and completed the second half of the book independently. Then, he completed the "Money Darts", "The Martial Arts Story" and the sequel "Makino Honour" one after another.
, "Blood Cleansing Cold Light Sword" and sequels "Three Birds in the Lion Forest", "Poisonous Sand Palm", "Mo Yun Hand", "The Joint Detachment" and sequels "The Legend of Dragon and Snake in the Great Lakes", "Shocking the Moth Under the Sword", "Ziwu Mandarin Duck Axe", "Pink Skeleton", "Taihu Yan", "The Sword of the Green Forest", etc. His representative work is "Stealing Fist". In the past few years, Gong Baiyu has published dozens of works; with his other literary and artistic creations, essays and translations, the total number of words is no less than tens of millions, and he has become a famous Chinese martial arts attack novelist.
For a period of time in the Republic of China, almost everyone talked about "Twelve Money Darts"; "Stealing Fist" is a recent movie adaptation of Yang Luchan's practice of Tai Chi, but unfortunately the director was not good.
9. "Gang Fighting Sect" Zheng Zhengyin
Zheng Zhengyin (1900-1960), whose original name was Zheng Rupei, was from Tianjin. In his early years, he learned Tai Chi under Xu Yusheng, the director of the National Museum of Peking, and used a beautiful Nine-ring sword. He once made his own performance. Later, he worked as a martial arts consultant for Bai Yu, and Zheng Zhengyin drew fighting moves on paper. Bai Yu wrote articles according to the picture. At the same time, he also began to learn to write martial arts novels. Bai Yu was ill on the way to write "Makino Xiongfeng". Zheng Zhengyin was once written by Zheng Zhengyin. Later, he parted ways with Bai Yu and began to create martial arts. In the 1940s, he was the peak of Zheng Zhengyin's creation. He was diligent in writing and had 88 martial arts novels.
He ranks first in the number of works by old martial arts novelists in the Republic of China. Zheng Zheng is known as the "gang martial arts school". His characteristics are one of the characteristics of the martial arts world and the other are martial arts. When writing about the martial arts world, he is familiar with the martial arts world and proficient in the organization and precepts of the gangs. He has developed a vast world of martial arts world in his writing. When writing about martial arts, he is a master of martial arts world, and he writes them one by one, and his expression is realistic. Regardless of internal and external skills, long and short weapons, and his application, he is skillful and familiar with them. As for writing hidden weapons and light skills, he is even more superb. Zheng Zheng is more bold and bold, strong and hot, and has the heroic spirit of a hero in the martial arts world.
Gu Long is his hardcore fan.
In his representative work "The Eagle Claw King", Zhang Yimou fell in love with this martial arts novel and started making action movies.
10, "Strange Reasoning School" Zhu Zhenmu
In the early 1930s, I saw my colleague Li Shoumin writing "The Legend of Swordsman in Shushan", so I entered the martial arts world. My early works "Flying Dragon", "Soul Refining Valley" and "Yangmo Island" series were deeply influenced by the master of the Zhu Tower. Later, I came up with new ideas, including "Tiger Roar, Dragon Roar", "Seven Killing Stele" and "Lady Rakshasa". Among them, "Seven Killing Stele" is the most famous. The book was published in the spring of 1949, which may be his final work. The whole book is written in a thrilling and bizarre way, closely linked. It not only has the majestic and flying spirit of the Northern School works, but also draws on the story structure of the Southern School writers combining "martial arts, love, and adventure". It can be called a work of combining the style of the Northern School.
The masterpiece of martial arts, and it also put an end to the creation of martial arts novels in the north and south of the Republic of China. The greatest contribution of "The Seven Killing Monument" is to combine martial arts with history, making martial arts novels historic. Martial arts novels enhance the legendary color of novels in the world of the world, but the story has a sense of ethereality. Once it is set with historical events, no matter how legendary the martial arts story is, it has a "root" and gives people a sense of truth and heaviness. Due to the "collusion between martial arts novels and history" between martial arts novels and history, martial arts stories have infinite historical "foundations". After the liberation in 1949, it did not know where to end, which brought difficulties to his research. This is definitely a movie hero.
Chapter completed!
