To The Type Of Novel From The Xia Culture - Martial Arts Study

The paper holds a view that xia-culture (侠文化) in essence is an desire to return to primitive age, which is realized by various specific forms of xia-culture. So, in the practical sense, xia-culture gains significance of its being from two respects: individual freedom and regulation patch. As one of the very important form of xia-culture, wuxia-novel (武侠小说) should be seriously studied on condition that its ontological connotation has been defined first. To the view of the paper, the ontological connotation of wuxia-nowel should consist of two essential respects: xia-culture and popular fiction. That is, wuxia-novel is an important carrier and an important component part of xi'a-culture, and it falls into the category of popular fiction. After its ontological connotation has been defined, the paper critically analyzes wuxia-novel from two points of view: enlightenment and sex. The paper holds a view that the spirit of freedom and independence hidden in mixia-novel deserves to be affirmed, but as the leading character in wuxia-novel, xia can not evade adjudication on his "bloodthirsty", extreme individualism and lack of legality in his chivalrous conduct. As xia-culture is a masculine culture, wuxia-novel is a kind of masculine literature, so injustice and injure are unavoidably caused to woman.
