Liang Yusheng, whose real name is Chen Wentong, is a famous martial arts novelist. Born in the Family of Scholars, he was familiar with ancient Chinese and couplets from an early age, and he liked to write lyrics in middle school. A good foundation in ancient Chinese has laid a good foundation for him to write martial arts novels in the future.
At the beginning of 1954, he wrote the first wuxia novel "Dragon Tiger Dou Jinghua", which officially opened the prelude to the new school of martial arts novels, until the 1983 sealed work "Wudang A Sword", Liang Yusheng wrote 35 martial arts novels. As for why the pen name Liang Yusheng was used, Liang Yusheng once explained that during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Liang Qi Liang Chen, Liang was in front of Chen, so he took the surname Liang, combined with "The Legend of Yuke, Ten Thousand Papers Into Victory; Sheng Gong Said, Ancient Psychic", so he took the pen name Liang Yusheng.
Liang Yusheng's creative style is very distinctive, his novels like to use history as the background, reflect the historical reality of a certain era through stories, and strengthen the appeal and artistry of the work by shaping the character of the character. Liang Yusheng's attitude towards wuxia novels is rational and fair, and he believes that wuxia novels must have martial arts and heroes. Violence is only a means, and chivalry is the real goal. This concept of martial arts of his had a great influence on the latecomers Jin Yong, Gu Long and others.
We all know that Jin Yong's sealed pen work is "Deer DingJi", this novel Jin Yong wrote very successfully and came to a beautiful end. "Deer Ding" did not damage Jin Yong's reputation, but made readers relish the novel. And Liang Yusheng's "Wudang A Sword", can you remember? Even if you are a loyal fan of Liang Yusheng, when you think of Liang Yusheng's classic works, do you think of "Wudang A Sword"? "Wudang A Sword" was originally expected to become a classic, but unfortunately, when it was published, a third of the content was deleted, resulting in the novel becoming a mediocre work.
Readers who read "Wudang A Sword" for the first time will definitely have a feeling of surprise, a feeling of long absence. Let you think of the kind of surprise and amazement that only existed when you returned the sword. "Wudang A Sword" begins with a conspiracy, which makes people confused about the conspiracy that cannot be uncovered, and the manslaughter at the beginning, as the introduction to the whole book, is very exciting. Unfortunately, just when I thought that this novel would become another masterpiece of Liang Yusheng, I suddenly felt that the plot jumped a lot, and it was completely confusing to read, and this reading experience made me wonder. It was not until I checked the information that I found that Liang Yusheng's novel had been deleted by one-third of the content when it was published.
One-third of the content, how many wonderful chapters, how many wonderful stories, how many unexplained characters, and clues, have been deleted without leaving a trace, which is really disappointing. If not cut, this novel can be called a classic.
