独孤九剑和玄铁重剑的年代(super long shit...but its funnie...)

The following article was taken from some website while i was researching for Felix's project. I thought it was very funny the way he analysed it. I guess ur chinese needs to be of certain standard to understand it...u need to be pretty familiar with Jinyong's novel as well...it basically compares the swordsplay of 杨过 and 令狐冲... which is supposingly created by the same person...独孤求败....maybe i'll post a translated version if i got time...lol...


玄铁剑法和独孤九剑都是独孤求败创造的。两种剑法有相同点也有不同点,玄铁剑法招数简单,讲究的是:重剑无锋,大巧不工。而独孤九剑理论性比较强,比较全面。到底哪种剑法更强,或者说:哪种剑法境界更高?

  神雕时代是飞机加大炮的时代,而笑傲江湖是小米加步枪的时代,主角对剑法的领悟取决于时代的要求。也就是说,即便是同一种剑法,到了杨过那里成了玄铁剑法,到了令狐冲那里成了独孤九剑。

  为什么这样说呢?当杨过来到独孤求败的山洞里。看到有三把剑,一是削铁如泥的利剑,二是玄铁重剑,三是木剑。最终(金庸安排)杨过选择了玄铁重剑。为什么不选择利剑呢?-----时代要求,或者说是形势的要求。神雕时代是内力强盛的时代,什么龙象般若功啊,降龙十八掌啊,动不动就天崩地裂,杨过内力不足,必需要借助于玄铁剑的重量来弥补(首先不能在气势上输给敌人)。那个时代的人,喜欢大气、纯朴的武功,而不愿意(或不屑于)依*复杂的技巧,如洪七公虽然会打狗帮法,但很少使用,一是怕用多了被人破解,但更主要的是,他觉得打狗帮法太小气、太花俏,打起来不如降龙十八掌那样爽快、干脆。到了天龙八部的乔锋干脆就不学。同样是以弱胜强,空明拳的口诀只有“空朦洞松、风通容梦、冲穷中弄、童庸弓虫”,而倚天屠龙记的太极拳却是一个庞大的理论体系。金庸武学不同于科学技术,科学的进步是以理论的完整度作为标志的,而武学理论的复杂标志着内力的衰弱。比如我用50斤力道能打死你,我绝不会用100斤,复杂的技巧是为了节省内力。在射雕中有一段话阐述了这一观点,

见原文:
  他呆呆的想了良久,只听得箫声越拔越高,只须再高得少些,欧阳锋便非败不可,但至此为极,说甚么也高不上去了,终于大悟,不禁哑然失笑:“我真是蠢得到了家!人力有时而穷,心中所想的事,十九不能做到。我知道一拳打出,如有万斤之力,敌人必然粉身碎骨,可是我拳上又如何能有万斤的力道?七师父常说:‘看人挑担不吃力,自己挑担压断脊。’挑担尚且如此,何况是这般高深的武功。”
  
令狐冲的独孤九剑,有破剑式、破掌式、破鞭式等等之分,而玄铁剑法哪里分得那么清楚,不过是“挑”、“刺”等简单的几个动作。笑傲江湖是内力衰弱的时代,独孤九剑复杂的体系正应了这个时代的需求。个人认为,独孤九剑是独孤求败弱冠时的剑法,而玄铁剑法是他中年时期的剑法,因为中年内力相对比弱冠时要高,而内力高的人更趋向于直接、纯朴的武功。杨过能直接练重剑是因为内力基础较好,之前练过玉女心经,九阴真经,蛤蟆功等。

杨过初时的剑法还有独孤九剑的味道,但练着练着就开始变味了,在海潮中练剑,用剑朝海潮“拍”过去,最后结果,剑未削到人,气浪已将人震飞了。又用剑击树,将内力灌于木剑上,然后“啪”的一声硬生生将树木拍(砸)断。这样的武功,与其叫“玄铁剑法”,不如叫“玄铁棍法”。不是杨过不知道无招的境界,只是“习惯用大碗喝酒的人已经不习惯用小酒杯了”。内力强盛的时代的高手认为“无招”这种境界太过于小气,我能用千斤力量砸死你为什么还用百斤?反正内力我有的是。当年杨过大战裘千仞的时候,从木屋开始打,结果木屋震碎,然后跳到雪地里打,打得雪花飞溅,豪气冲天,杨过觉得这样才算真正的战斗。结果,他的剑法不再是“挑”,“刺”,而是“拍”,“砸”。跟他的掌法一样,打人时一浪一浪的“拍”过来,不求无招,只求过瘾。这样的剑法,已不再是玄铁剑法、独孤九剑,甚至不是剑法,如果有铜锤,他恨不得拿铜锤。不过他还是拿剑,一来看起来潇洒,二来杀伤力不会太大,像吴孟达说的那样:因为血滴子杀伤力太强,所以用香蕉代替。

  金轮法王也是一样,当年杨过的玄铁剑法让他大开眼界,回去以后思索对策,想到到不是以弱胜强,而是以强对强,以暴制暴。不是他不懂,而是“咽不下这口气”,你强?我比你更强。结果花了十几年时间狂练“龙象般若功”,管你有招无招,用剑的还是用鞭的,我都用几百斤、上千斤力量砸过去……。结果两人相遇时(见原文)

  “霎时剑轮相触,声如龙吟。两股巨力再度相抗,喀的一响,杨过的长剑断成数截,法王的双轮也自拿捏不住,脱手飞出,跌下高台,砸死了三名蒙古射手”

  此种打法,即便欧阳锋复活,也会自叹不如,毕竟人家华山论剑的时候还讲点招数。到了神雕末期,当杨过看到觉远告诉张三丰“后发制人,先发制于人”的道理时,才突然感到“别有洞天”:哦,原来架还可以这样打。
  
如果说杨过他们不懂得节约内力的话,到了《天龙八部》,这种情况更是变本加厉,天龙时代可以说是内力过剩时代,几十年,上百年的内力传来传去,毫不可惜。像虚竹这样的菜鸟,就是硬生生被灌成高手的。
 
  到了《笑傲江湖》,武风为之一变,由于没有这么多内力了,每一招一式都要斤斤计较,什么破剑式,破气式都出来了,目的是“用最少的内力达到最好的效果”。像令狐冲那样居然有武器不相碰的战斗方式,要是在神雕时代这样打,不被气浪震飞才怪。
  
囚禁任我行的地牢,在西湖底下,可以说笑傲江湖的武学气氛是带有西湖文化风格的,和射雕神雕时代的大漠武风完全相反。再也没有沙尘飞扬的气势,更多的是风花雪月的战斗。西湖有西湖的风格,西湖的美感。最能代表西湖武风的是令狐冲在溪旁耍的那一剑:

“他跃起身来,拔出腰间长剑,对着溪畔一株绿柳的垂枝随手刺出,手腕略抖,嗤的一声轻响,长剑还鞘,这才左足落地,抬起头来,只见五片柳叶缓缓从中飘落。长剑二次出鞘,在空中转了个弧形,五片柳叶都收到了剑刃之上。他左手从剑刃上取过一片柳叶,说不出的又是欢喜,又是奇怪。”

  这样的剑法,要是让杨过看见,肯定会不屑一顾(审美观不同),可在内力衰落时代,这样的剑法是最精妙的,也是最酷的,绝对比郭富成的那种瀑布造型要酷的多。此外还有东方不败那样的闺房高手(试和射雕神雕的沙场英雄相比较),梅庄的琴棋书画以及莫大的回风落雁剑也是西湖武学的重要象征。徐克的电影《东方不败》和张纪中的《笑傲江湖》都拍错了风格,因为没有意识到这一点。反而80年代的那些武侠片(如杀人手,梦中剑)更能反映西湖武学的意境。

  笑傲时代的高手,喜欢追求无招的境界(如令狐冲),或超常的速度(如自宫一族),惟独任我行走错了路,任我行虽然会吸星大法,但那个时代的人内力普遍太低,吸也吸不了多少,再加上这种武功有bug,不能完全把吸到的内力为己所用。一个很明显的例子,任我行令狐冲三大高手围攻东方不败,居然在闺房里打,书上没有说房里的物品有没有损坏,估计不会损失多少。但如果换杨过他们来打,不把闺房震飞才怪。

  至于令狐冲的内力有多强呢?虽然练了吸星大法,但我看这点内力最多让他拿稳剑而已。
  独孤九剑与玄铁剑法,其实没有好坏之分,独孤九剑适合内力底的人用,玄铁剑法适合内力较高的人用。如果内力太旺盛,用木剑就够了。

K-20

It has been awhile since i blogged...recently i'm gettin too lazy to blog...i dun even have time to paint animore...sigh.... i guess i hv to squeeze sometime to do it...

Med and i were thinking of catching some movie...but weren't sure wat to watch...i suggested K-20 but she said it sounded stupid...so i tot we shud watch Benjamin Button...but she wasn't really into it as well...upon checkin the reviews....K-20 had 4 stars out of 5...boasting the same rating as Slumdog Millionaire...Benjamin and all the other craps had 3...so we decided to give it a shot...well... the first opening scene...i told Med...our $7.50 is well worth it for this opening scene alr...a render of an entire Japan...with an old school helicopter flying in to the city.....



I dun wanna spoil the show for people who haven watch it...but the plot and the visuals is really worth it...I guess the upcoming Galileo Suspect X wud be my next...being a Galileo fan....Masaharu is really gettin more and more shuai...wa kao...

Ora ora...

This week is a crazy week... Monday, Tuesday were super shaggy~~boom... because of my slack shit-ness during the weekend... i had to catch up with Tito's work on Monday & Tuesday... Finally managed to finish my series of wallpaper and a lil' bit of the story for the graphic novel... the concept for my graphic novel is parallel storyline...that i'll leave for another time...when i post the novels. Slept for 3 hours per day to complete my stuffs...end result is undead....

Have been busy goin on a adding spree on facebook...lol...other den tt i was jus devouring some of the dramas that should have been long completed... Finished watching Galileo...and started watching Kurosagi....Galileo still rox more...the plot is much more convincing and not as shallow... Watched a 3 episode(tt's all it screened so far) of this year's Kamen Rider as well...Kamen rider Decade (Dikedo) It was pretty good...although the actor and actress...kinda zzz... Other den that, i was playing Left 4 Dead most of the time...I really love using Hunting Rifle (Sniper), but i think i would need to find a way to 1 man tank with this rifle, cos that day my team mate died and i had to 1 man tank. I died too, and the 2 player left. T___T The nick i loved to use is Ryuga.S, if anione realised, S means Sniper!!! Wahahaha....



Apparently, nowadays its a trend to combine stories from previous series...example~~ Kamen rider decade is actually about him having to defeat the 9 previous Kamen riders from the other world...Of cos we realised now he is the 10th rider from the Heisei period, and is an anniversary series. We get to see, Kuuga, Agito, Ryuki, 555, Blade, Hibiki, Kabuto, Den-O and Kiva in action. Apparently, Decade possess the power to use the previous 9 riders ability and is supposingly the strongest. The rider's ability in the show is the same but the rider's character and name is different. I think that will be explained...in the later episodes. I was kinda pissed when i saw the new version of kuuga...he's like so noob.



This episode shows him using and changing into various different riders.



"Destroy everything, connect everything."
The story revolves around the nine previous universes of the Heisei Kamen Riders merging into one, something that would destroy all the worlds. To prevent this, Tsukasa Kadoya transforms into Kamen Rider Decade to protect his own dimension by defeating the Kamen Riders of the other dimensions. The Rider Army, first revealed in Natsumi Hikari's dream, composed of many Kamen Riders, all of whom where seemingly defeated by Kamen Rider Decade. However, Kamen Rider Kuuga survived the initial battle, assuming Ultimate Form to confront Decade once again with the two seemingly destroying each other in the ensuing battle. -from Wikipedia.

The other one would be, Dissidia: Final Fantasy. Combining all of the final fantasy series into one. I certainly had a lot of fun playing this game, all thanx to the china sub group for patching the chinese version of this game. If not i would have to wait til June to be able to play it. Thanx to Priscilia(Dennis's gf) i got to da bao some toys from hongkong, now is jus awaiting them to arrive tomoro!! Reason i got her to buy for me because its much cheaper there....if she got the conversion rate correct~~LOL!


Cloud and Hardy Daytona. Its the new playart version, wanted to get one of this, but its way too overpriced here. I hope she got the real stuff at a cheap price. LOL T__T


This was the old version, its made of resin and cost a whopping $250 back a couple of years ago. I almost wanted to get this, but well, i was glad i din go berserk, and i wasn't that rich as well. This statue is actually pretty big and heavy.


Dissidia: Final Fantasy Trading arts. This set of baby is currently sold out. And cost a bomb to ship in. Well, lucky me, i remembered that there's something of these and got her to help me buy them as well. I really love the new version of Warrior of Light in this series. He's so damn cool. People who want to play the earlier versions from ff1-6 on their pc...you can go to this website, http://finalfantasy.cc/dissidia-media/dissidia-time-machine this site contains the english translation for the game instructions as well. For those who did not get the chinese version or can't read chinese.

Well, to end off before i go do my graphic novel tt is due on Monday~~ i've finally decided to go for the air-brushing lesson. LOL! The shop is located at Bras basah, and i've always been fascinated with model coloring...so i finally.... decided to have a shot. Think i'll go register once this submission is over. For people interested~~ http://garage-kits.com/index.html A lesson of 8 cost $50, paint and garage kit to be self paid and selected. Tools would be provided.

Current Fayleng: Super looking forward to having the lessons and my toys.

Settled down~ (Super long post)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

2nd wave of Yusheng by Med's mum.
Phew~
its been a week since i'm back from my 4 days visit....it was a really busy week... in the end, i did make it for Tito's class...but i couldn't complete his wallpaper... and he din even wan to tok to the incomplete pieces...well... :/ who can i blame... Aniwae...las week was exciting... Rented car again, to celebrate Med's bday... altho it wasn't much of a celebrating... Everytime we rent car... i'll get super tired...cos we'll be like trying to make full use of the transport...whahaha... by friday morning...i was so tired tt i decided to skip Isabel's class and Felix make up class...(there's another major reason i din go as well...)

Its been years since i visited my relatives with my parents... well...it was a fruitful one... Somehow, this visit...made me see the supposingly familiar scenes and places in another way. Everyone has grown up, fighting in their career... moving on.. Places that used to be so familiar suddenly seems so nostalgic... like an old man looking at his life in the younger days...(LOL) That's wat i felt actually...God-mother was sick...apparently took the wrong medication and got hospitalised, worsening her alr serious illness. She was bed-ridden, lying there looking at us, and crying when we were leaving the hospital...it really broke our hearts. The last visit before we left for singapore... she was so sad...or lonely... looking at her weep, i had to do my best to hold back my tears. The once, so cheerful and always smiling lady who is delighted by our visits. Looking at all the reunion photo now lay dusty on fading frames... reminded me of how she was in her younger years. Growing old and losing the willpower to live...is really scary. The hospitals in Jiu hu is really, well... Imbaly gaolat...yep... the nurses gives a non caring attitude... hospital looks so rundown like it has been thru wars a million times... its pathetic...

Caught up with my cousins...not really...actually...i was kinda like a redeemer this time round... felt kinda isolated... or maybe it was me... but well... after pondering for awhile...maybe it was all along like tt... Always left out...unimportant and non-existent... it made me appreciated Med's mum and relatives more... Be forgiving...Mr Wu said...Be forgiving and move on....

Finally back in singapore...i got stuck in a 2 hour super jam...had to entertain myself on my laptop with Stephen Chow's Movie collection ripped from my cousin. Wow...he grew so plump tt he had tits...it made me so scared...tt i decided i'll be more hardworking on slimming down... Well i reached home at ard 11pm and started doing work at 2...by the time i realised..i'm out of time doing Tito's work. Shocking news is...its week 4..and its a new project. zzz. Although tired... we still carried out the plan of grabbing shasha (knife by the neck) and Gary for BBQ at pasir ris. (unpaid) It was kinda las min...so we kinda jus grab some food and started a fire at some remote location at pasir ris park. It was kinda fun, we had good laughs...and messing ard. It was my first time starting a fire all by myself... Well, i sharingan-ed the method from Mr Wu, the last time we were BBQ-ing prawns at farmway prawning. Well, it worked pretty well i think.... after sending Gary home and gettin lost sendin shasha home...it was damn late. I took the wrong exit and hor lan until dunno where...altho we finally made it.

The next day was rental by my brother, so i had to fetch him from camp and we went for breakfast...and den swimming... the swim kinda revitalised me... we went for lunch and went prawning at farmway. We tried to BBQ some prawns ourselves, with fire started by my pro brother....he say he v pro in starting fire. But apparently, i din know how to cook the prawns and i had a bad stomachache... i tot i accidentally ate some prawn hatchling or earth worms...yux... so i decided to skip class...

Saturday was gathering with Jim n gang. I arrived at 10 plus after shopping at Kino. I finally decided to get myself a 3 yrs Kino member....LOL. We met up at PP's hse this yr for Texas poker... Lost $60 plus at first...and then finally recovering and winning $8 in the end...a big phew for me.... I was kinda broke after the Kino encounter. Sunday was Med's Grandma visiting... i tot her aunts wud be there but only one aunt was there...so i missed the chance to wish her other aunts who gave me ang bao despite me not being ard, a happy new year. Guess i shud call them.

Well, my hand's rather tired after so much typing... we took some pictures at the Pasir ris BBQ, but shasha removed the images, guess i wud post them once i get it from her.... Time to work hard i guess...i'm so behind time.....

My current fayleng: Pretty neutral...feeling more orientated now. Thanx Mr Wu for being there, i needed it.
