Law 1: Yuelai Inn and Yihongyuan are the largest chain companies in ancient times
Since ancient times, businessmen have known that the food, clothing, housing, transportation, and eroticism industries are all profitable industries. Even Guan Zhong, when he was helping his son Xiaobai to strategize the state of Qi, set up a large number of female lugu, or official prostitutes, in the country. On the one hand, this industry is fast money, high profit, low risk (because it is state-run), and plays an indispensable role in increasing tax revenue and economic sources. On the other hand, the wind and flower houses have traditionally been places where flirtatious and talented men gather. This can also recruit talent from all over the world.
In the world of martial arts, perhaps due to the laziness of the authors that led to the unlimited copying of the names of these two companies, or perhaps for other reasons, the earliest and largest chain of companies in the history of Chinese martial arts was born.
The name Yue Lai Inn is derived from a phrase by Confucius: "Friends come from afar, and it's not a pleasure to be here". Naturally, there is a kind of brotherhood under the sky and bosom! So the heroes and heroines of the whole world are all eager to it, have to Yue Lai Inn crowded: drinking, playing gambling, dating meet, talk about love, inquiring about right and wrong, want to mess with right and wrong ....... The doorway of the inn's iron and wood threshold was broken.
Almost any martial arts novel, any martial arts movie, even any paragraph of martial arts legend can be found in the middle of the plaque of the Yuelai Inn, people laughingly called it a national chain of top inns. It seems that with it, there is a place in the jianghu for the warriors to dance with their swords, and there is a place for their names to go down in history.
So Yuelai Inn has almost become synonymous with Jianghu. Even the shopkeeper inside, that are competitively recruited, knowledgeable, articulate, well-informed, excellent service attitude. When a martial artist enters the Yuelai Inn, he or she will order one of their signature fast food - two pounds of cooked beef and a pot of the finest Daughter's Red.
The Yihongyuan, on the other hand, is the result of the spread of China's immortal masterpiece, Dream of Red Mansions, which led to its becoming the gold standard for green houses. Wherever there is a green house, there must be one called Yihongyuan.
The success of these two chains is inseparable from the secret royal support. Such a day into the gold, rich and strife monopoly organization, if there is no royal family as a major shareholder, without the umbrella of the imperial court, has long been the local government as a disharmony of the organization was wiped out the existence of the local government, or by the other competitors to combine to defeat, or by the martial arts people smash and grab and burn the destruction of the whole thing.
Under China's feudal social system, with agriculture as the basic industry of society, the government has always pursued a policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce. For this in the national GDP occupies an important position in the industry, and are commercial, or disturbing the social order of the important place, the state will certainly be managed. A single-minded suppression will definitely not work, as the so-called wildfire cannot be eliminated, but will grow again in the spring breeze. But if the government to run, made into a state-run industry, then on the one hand, the corruption is too serious, on the other hand will suppress the enthusiasm of other competitors, leading to the withering of the industry. Thus, after a long time of groping, by the government secretly holding, private bosses do manager, the earliest chain of enterprises, or the monopoly of the trust - Yue Lai Inn and Yi Hong Yuan was born.
The benefits of doing so are manifold. First, because it was government-controlled, the government's source of tax revenue was secured, and the government's interests were met. And with the government providing private individuals with operating capital and political patronage, it also allowed the business to operate in a stable manner. Second, since the government hides in the shadows instead of setting up a state-run business to compete with the private sector, it will not suppress other competitors in such industries too hard. Thirdly, public-private partnership will effectively avoid official corruption. Private businessmen who are managers and are responsible to the major shareholders are bound to work hard to run their businesses. Otherwise it faces not only the risk of being removed, but also the risk of his life. Fourth, because of the public-private partnership, it is very easy to become an oligopoly in this industry, and it is a monopoly organization allowed by the government. It is easy to set the norms and standards of the industry, and the government will be able to intervene effectively while the market will operate in a healthy way. Fifthly, because it is an oligopoly with a large number of staff and a nationwide chain, it occupies an important position in terms of martial arts intelligence. The government was able to keep abreast of martial arts developments. Especially the Excelsior. If it was government-run, then some officials and dignitaries would not dare to go there. Why? You go to government-run brothels, you will fall into the official full surveillance, so do not say to go to the affair, all kinds of privacy have been prying clearly, then how to mix! The government is hiding behind the curtain, so it's a good move.
Law 2: The court's generals are not good enough, and the eunuchs are the best in the business
This is a problem that needs to be looked at from many angles. First of all, historically, the army martial arts and jianghu martial arts are two ways, not comparable. The military martial arts emphasizes on killing the enemy and cooperating with each other. And lead the army to fight more rely on wisdom rather than force. Jianghu way wild not to mention, fighting hard fancy, light and flexible, too much talk about moves, two kinds of people fight up completely unable to adapt. With the army's positive against the jianghu's shenanigans, it is impossible to come to a conclusion. If it was a side of soldiers against a group of Jianghu chivalry, the victory would definitely be the army. Chivalry is about being alone, self-centered, unruly and disobedient, each martial arts style is different, it is difficult to cooperate with each other, a group of people go up to fight with a group of punks to fight a group is no different.
With the army's positive corresponds to, is the eunuch's strange. The first step is to make sure that you have a good understanding of what you are doing and how you are doing it. Eunuchs have always been a unique group of existence in the jianghu. They are old monsters who have lived in the palace for a long time, they are idle every day (oh, wrong, they have no eggs), so instead of being able to concentrate on practicing martial arts, so they practiced and practiced and practiced into a great master. It is also because they are eunuchs who have lived in the palace for a long time, resulting in their character often twisted and perverted. That's why in the martial arts world, eunuchs with strong martial arts skills are the antagonists.
The court is not good at directly using the army to crush the jianghu, so generals versus chivalry is a rare occurrence. More often than not, professions like constables were running the jianghu. This led to the emergence of the famous Department Six and the Divine Constabulary. On the one hand, the constables practiced the wisdom of investigating cases and arresting criminals, on the other hand, because the martial arts from the royal arsenal, the royal product, it must be a fine product ah. That's why there are always a few great masters among the constables. They are the face of the government in the jianghu, but also the government's violent organizations, similar to the current police department, can assist the government to better manage the jianghu, punish the evil and promote the good, clean up the law and order, to maintain justice.
Law 3: Jianghu strife often occurs in the restaurant, such as Yue Lai Inn
This is very good to understand, there are people where there is a Jianghu, the so-called forest big what birds are there. Like the Yuelai Inn such a huge flow of people, often mixed fish and dragons, hiding a lot of unstable factors.
Yue Lai Inn has a good reputation in the country, you come to eat and I come to eat, you come to stay and I also stay. So it is not guaranteed that those enemies will meet here. Or due to the mouth disagreement, look at each other, the brawl is prone to happen.
In addition, there are several other reasons for fighting in such crowded places as restaurants. The first is a lot of people. People from all directions are gathered in this place. If you beat a certain famous chivalrous person, then your reputation will soon be spread all over the country by these spectators. How can you not take advantage of this free publicity tool?
Secondly, there are still a lot of people. The situation is complicated by the fact that there are a lot of people. Once the fight is not won to the crowd a drill, the other side in order to avoid injury to the innocent fall bad reputation, not good to let go, so this wave of the audience has become an effective protection tool to escape.
Third, or more people. This huge flow of people in the public **** place, like a free concert site, all eyes ah. If you are involved in some fights, get more than just some ordinary audience attention. There are also some footloose big ladies whose underlings or maidservants would appear at such public ****ing venues. If you fought with a certain supreme expert in some deep forest, no one would see it or know about it ah. In this kind of place, once your poise is seen by those underlings and maidservants, it is equivalent to those big girls seeing it. So you have the capital to pick up girls. This is an important reason. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty!
Law 4: classic line: A: in the next so-and-so, jianghu people so-and-so. B: so is so-and-so ah, long time to learn long time to learn. This kind of dialog of the martial artists is like when you meet your classmates and ask if you have eaten yet? Where are you going? The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a new one, and you'll be able to do that.
Of course, the jianghu is also a place of fame and fortune. Many people practice martial arts, is not to make a name for themselves. A good reputation, or a loud nickname, is as important to a chivalrous person as his clothes and his weapons. When people learn about a knight-errant, they start by hearing his nickname. Therefore, in the world of martial arts, famous masters are labeled with various nicknames. Some people will also form team combinations due to like-mindedness or being twins, triplets, or couples.
These nicknames are like business cards. When others hear it, they immediately know something about you and how to treat and communicate with you. If you are still disdainful after hearing each other's nicknames, then either you have a louder nickname, reputation martial arts status are superior, or you are looking for death a class of people. Because this is the minimum respect, the attitude towards the nickname is the attitude towards the chivalrous person himself. This attitude involves dignity, so many strife hatred is due to the other side in reporting nicknames did not treat well.
People in the world to mix, talk about the strength of talking about family history and seniority also talk about reputation. The benefits and disadvantages of being famous naturally do not need to be detailed. Once you report your name, people will naturally know your signature martial arts, your family background, and your love and hate. Through this kind of name, people will be able to avoid the harm, and to interact with each other calmly.
Of course, the more powerful the martial arts, the more indifferent to fame and fortune. This is a kind of conversion from nothing to something, and then from something to nothing. When you first start out, you need a loud name to publicize yourself and get all kinds of resources to make yourself a better mix. By the time your martial arts skills exceeded most people's, fame naturally no longer mattered. At this time, you would focus more on your pursuit of the ultimate in martial arts or longevity. You no longer need to rely on fame to gain the respect and admiration of others, as your strength has made such things easy or even dispensable for you.
Therefore, in your martial arts is not enough to be proud of the time, the low-key or have to be low-key, long time long time may not be sincere, but is the minimum respect. I don't dare to be perhaps self-effacing pride, but with the match is his strength. Jianghu on the name is not real vain name of people may exist, but after a period of time the big waves of sand, the rest of the reputation outside or have two brushes. Therefore, the unrivaled people are often the first to die. The so-called mountain outside the mountain, people outside the people. If you don't die, you won't die.
Law 5: the old man with white hair is often the so-called high
Every martial arts novel will always appear one or several high, high so that people can only look up to the person. This situation has now become as commonplace as the Yuelai Inn.
High people love to live in seclusion, that's because high martial arts means great responsibility, the world needs you to save. All kinds of things will get him annoyed. In order to have a quiet environment to pursue the way of heaven, or martial arts further, the high people will be living in a party, as if the immortal general ethereal.
A small hermit in the wild, a medium hermit in the city, a great hermit in the dynasty. This is the ancient Chinese literati's view of seclusion. But in the world of martial arts, the boundaries are not so clear, and even reversed. The eccentric masters have their own preferences. If you like to do nothing, you can live in a cave, that is to say, the place where people are rare birds do not shit.
Like to go with the flow, the red dust refining the heart of the secluded in the city. This situation is very popular in contemporary martial arts novels. Hence the symbolization of the old man with white hair.
There is no doubt that all the high rollers are old men. Without the experience and vitality of being longer than others, how can you develop the best martial arts skills. Those who are invincible at a young age are, after all, one in ten thousand. According to the general situation, the value of a person's force is still directly proportional to their age. The longer you practice martial arts, the more skillful and sophisticated you will become.
Therefore, those who are more than 100 years old have more decades of experience and time to practice martial arts than others, so they can become the hidden masters. But not all old people are masters.
Why is white hair a sign of a high achiever? There is a reason for this. When you practice martial arts to the extreme, you naturally turn to the pursuit of heaven or immortality. Or the pursuit of immortality. And the posture of the immortals, that is really outstanding, independent of the world, ethereal and illusory.
How can we have the immortal's posture? People in many mythological books and atlases, found that the appearance of the people who became immortal is almost all the crane hair and childish face. Thus, the crane hair and childlike face became the popular face among the senior people. It is like the popular beauty is big eyes and melon face.
It is a natural phenomenon for old people to lose their hair and turn gray when they reach old age. Of course, at this point in their lives, they will not change their appearance too much. So they left behind the image of a white-haired man for the world to look up to.
Some people say that practicing martial arts to a high level can return to childhood, hair black body become young. This state how to say it, and is too outrageous things. Now is still in the world of martial arts, please do not add too much fairy factor good.
Since Liu Bo Wen cut off the dragon vein, the immortal way gradually retired and the rise of martial arts. The so-called "mountain-moving, reclamation, sky-flying" immortals have disappeared. Because to become immortal is the need for aura, and Liu Bo Wen cut off the dragon vein, coupled with perennial war damage, resulting in a lack of aura. Therefore there were no immortals since the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty was the year that marked the shift from the immortal way to the martial way.
Since seeking immortality is not possible, those who are high in the world can only keep this crane-haired face to pretend to be cool and show their pursuit of the immortals.
Law 6: The market kills a pig is definitely a fat man
This is certainly not a contempt for fat people. Rather, it is the result of the long-term development of the market and people's conceptual views.
In ancient China, people bought pork in favor of fat meat rather than the current lean meat. Therefore, the pigs have to be raised fat and chubby before anyone wants them. A pig strong or not, you a buy ready-made pork customers certainly can not see. Gradually, people pay attention to the fat and thin pork eyes, turn to kill the pig's fat and thin up.
This is not to despise the killing of pigs, but because, if even the killing of pig farmers are not thin, then the pork store is certainly very poor. How can a poor store keep fat pigs. According to this theory, the fatness of the pig killer directly determines the fatness of the pork.
The market has its own law of elimination. People tend to buy the fat pig killer sold pork, thin people will naturally be killed out of the industry. This is also the reason why all the pig killers are fat.
Law 7: the time of the killing technique
In the martial arts movie and television works, we usually see a person if the killing technique, that is, amplify the move, not only the action is gorgeous, the time is long, the opponent will not sneak up on you at this time, although this is a very good opportunity.
In fact, strictly speaking this is not a problem. Because this will only appear in the movie and television works, novel authors in the description of these big moves, will turn to the magnificent action for this move, the resulting changes in the environment, as well as both sides of the inner emotions of the change and so on. Of course, Gu Long is an alternative. He has realized the realm of no move is better than a move, naturally, the description of this move is often very short and sharp, often you can not see the other side of the move you have hung up. The first thing you need to do is to get rid of all the stuff that you've been doing.
In the conversion of martial arts novels into film and television works, in order to show that the book of those who must kill the power of the great, naturally, the moves will be as cumbersome as possible, gorgeous, to give a person the visual impact to attract people's eyes. But in the original book, although those moves will be cumbersome and fancy, the movement is huge, but the author will emphasize at the end of the sentence, the time of the change of the move is very short, almost always in the blink of an eye has been completed. Therefore the opponent at this time is not able to sneak attack.
The world of martial arts, only fast not broken. When your moves are fast to a realm, they are naturally unstoppable. According to the truth of the road to simplicity, in fact, those more powerful martial arts moves instead of the more simple, just powerful, rather than the pursuit of the cumbersome and magnificent moves. In this regard, I still agree with Gu Long's "no move is better than a move". The Way is simple, simple to the extreme is nothing. This is rooted in Lao Zi's Tao Te Ching, from nothing to something. The ultimate will inevitably return to nothing. Therefore, there will be "Wu Wei", but also to achieve "no trick is better than a trick".
Law 8: the most powerful poisons, hidden weapons are produced in the Western region and other remote places
In fact, the so-called "most powerful" is only a relative concept. Only when people don't know anything about something, out of their innate fear of the unknown, will they think it's the most powerful. In the world of martial arts, the Central Plains, because it is within the territory of the country, each of them have more frequent exchanges, so they will be more familiar with each other. Whereas some remote places such as the Western Regions, people in the Central Plains knew very little about them. Therefore those places produced poison concealed weapons will be recognized as the most powerful.
What kind of poison is the most powerful? Naturally, it's the poison that has no antidote. What kind of secret weapon is the most powerful? Naturally, it is the undefendable secret weapon. When a kind of thing all people do not understand or understand very little time, it has a scarcity. This scarcity gives it a certain power. Out of fear of the unknown and blind obedience, this power will be magnified countless times.
On the other hand, the poisons produced in polar regions such as the West, because of their unique polar environments, have unique properties that are very different from those of the Middle Kingdom. People in the Central Plains naturally could not detoxify the poison, and over time it was also rumored to be more and more poisonous, thus becoming the most poisonous of all poisons. And those Westerners who entered the Central Plains silently laughed. This poison in his eyes may be a usual poison, but he will not point out this rumor that is deified.
Out of consideration for their own interests, such as in order to make their hometown's herb mysterious, so as to raise the price of profiteering. For example, in order to maintain its insoluble nature, then once one gives the antidote, then one will gain huge benefits. Of course there were also some westerners he himself wasn't very clear about. This many reasons and cause the most poisonous poison must come from these remote places in the western region.
The law of concealed weapons is the same. Because those hidden weapons are made in the West, their thinking of the people in the Central Plains can not be understood, the production methods and triggering techniques are different from the Central Plains, coupled with the hidden weapons coated with some local poisons, which makes the hidden weapons become irresistible, increasing the prestige of this hidden weapons.
Law 9: Must symbolically hit a few times before making a masterstroke, and will also spit in his mouth and yell - go to hell
This law is actually similar to playing poker, which starts with the smallest card. The chivalrous warriors also start with the smallest moves. The so-called masterstroke, that is all the bottom of the pressure box. If it is easy to make it out, then it is still called a masterstroke?
On the other hand, if you use it often, it will be flooded, and the consequence is that it will be known by others, so that the opponent can study the deciphering moves, in which case it will lose the role of the bottom of the card.
In addition, the power of the trick is generally very large, the consumption of physical strength is more serious, less than a last resort generally will not be used. The only way to save energy is to fight to the end, and the person who smiles to the end is the winner.
In fact, the last use of the stance, in addition to maintaining its mystery to achieve the effect of a fatal blow, there is another reason. When chivalrous warriors fight each other, they always test each other's strength first, and then make a move based on that strength. The advantage of this was insurance. If you make a reckless move without knowing the other party's strength or cards, exposing your strength too early, what comes with it is likely to be the other party bursting out with an unknown move that will catch you off guard and lead you to death.
This is still a human attitude. Like the allusion to eating grapes, is it better to start with the good and save the bad for last, or to start with the bad and save the good for last. And the traditional Chinese philosophy of life is all about the second, favoring the bitter before the sweet. And so the chivalrous duel is also small before big, gradually escalating.
Of course, this also contains some small minds of those writers. This way of writing can extend the plot and expand the word count, so as to achieve economic purposes.
As for the yelling, it is for the sake of momentum, to deter the other side with a strong momentum, to take away their will, in order to achieve the purpose of winning. Of course, I have seen some unscrupulous authors in writing this plot, the sound of the yell unlimited expansion of infinite repetition, so that readers read to be vomited. One scream is almost enough, and the repetition of the scream has no suddenness, and the power is naturally diminished. That is not to face drag the word count is interesting?
Law 10: the protagonist of the halo problem
The reason why the protagonist can become the protagonist, naturally, with its unique attributes, that is, what we call the protagonist halo. For example, to get some of the heavenly treasures, the best martial arts secret book or the best weapon, and the beauty of a quick romance, in the rain of bullets can still be unscathed and so on, the traditional martial arts novels are better, especially the network of martial arts novels, simply more and more writing more and more outrageous.
This kind of plot can only appear in the novel. Most of the martial arts novels are fictional, we have never seen, do not understand, the natural author of arbitrary exaggeration, write a lot of unreasonable plot, you can not take him.
Those who do not have the scientific reasoning of things you do not dwell too much. Because these fictional martial arts originally has no scientific reasoning. It's like an apple that's rotting on the inside, can you ask it to rot on the outside at least a little bit more beautifully and regularly?
The emergence of the protagonist is often an illogical existence, and thus you want him to be a little more logical in his development, which is impossible. The emergence of a new order is often accompanied by the destruction of the old order, so you want to look at the logic to analyze the martial arts this kind of thing itself has no logic to speak of, is no less than the edge of the wood to fish.
