There is no doubt that the TV series "Bright Sword" is a good work, just like someone commented that "this is a magnificent and legendary heroic epic" and so on; From my personal feeling, whenever and wherever, I will watch "Bright Sword" on TV, whether I have seen it or not. In this way, I can't watch it every time, so I just bought a set of CDs and spent two nights watching it. There are several successful figures in "Bright Sword", such as Chu, Monk, and the immediate superior brigade commander. There is no doubt that Li Yunlong, the leading actor, is the most successful figure in TV series.

However, when we carefully study the image of Li Yunlong, we will find that this heroic image is very different from the heroic image in our traditional concept. It can even be said that this character image is a digestion of the hero image in the traditional concept to a certain extent, which is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

First, the characters.

In our traditional concept, although we have not set any exact standards for the image of a hero, generally speaking, the image of a hero should at least be like this: tall and burly, with regular facial features, imposing manner, heroic spirit and decent clothes (even if it is not luxurious). Although there are occasional heroes like Wang Ying, the short-legged tiger in Water Margin, such heroes are really.

However, in "Bright Sword", Li Yunlong is presented in front of our eyes with such an image: average figure, not burly figure, almost dirty face, and rarely clean clothes, especially when the neckline is dirty, even when walking, he looks sloppy, not to mention temperament. From this perspective, the image of Li Yunlong in Liang Jian is a deconstruction of the heroic image in our traditional concept.

Second, the character language.

In our traditional concept, although the language style of heroes is not limited, generally speaking, the language habit of heroes should be "grandiose", full of nobility and justice. At least, we shouldn't swear. Even if you are crazy, at most, you will chop the table with one hand and cut down trees with the other. Language has always been convergent and must conform to the heroic image.

However, in Liang Jian, Li Yunlong's language left the deepest impression on us. He was full of foul language and was always "fucking". Except for a few days of "restraint", Li Yunlong swears most of the time, but perhaps he is born with such a bad temper, so even if he is restrained for a long time, Li Yunlong will still show his nature of swearing in front of women. In this respect, the image of Li Yunlong in Liang Jian is a deconstruction of our traditional heroic language habits.

Third, the character thought.

In our traditional ideas, the hero's thoughts are often very noble, and his heart is full of saving lives and national justice, pursuing justice and saving people from danger. And there are few personal grievances and feelings for children.

However, in Liang Jian, Li Yunlong's thought looks a bit "dangerous":

First of all, Li Yunlong is a little sentimental. When War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression was in full swing, Li Yunlong was suddenly shot by Cupid's arrow, and he didn't restrain his emotions under the infection of Xiuqin's true feelings. He not only hugged Xiuqin tightly, but also took off Xiuqin's clothes. If the needle hadn't pricked his foot, Li Yunlong would have really done something out of line. After liberation, married Li Yunlong almost cheated. In our traditional hero image, a hero would not make such a serious "mistake".

Secondly, Li Yunlong has a little Jianghu habits. After his wife Xiuqin was arrested, she assembled troops without authorization and attacked the county town heavily defended by the devils. After his beloved subordinate "Monk" was killed by bandits, he went on the rampage and took the troops to avenge "Monk". Such a move will greatly weaken the tall image of heroes in traditional concepts.

If Li Yunlong is compared to the hero image in our traditional concept, then the character Li Yunlong in The Legend of the Sword and the Chivalrous Man probably has nothing to do with the hero image, but why does this character get the recognition and even pursuit of the audience after the TV series is broadcast? I think the main reasons lie in the following aspects:

First of all, this is related to the current relaxed social and political environment. With the deepening of the reform of China's socialist market economic system, we have not only maintained the dominant position of the public ownership economy, but also more clearly recognized and encouraged the long-term development of other diversified ownership economies. With the diversification of social and economic components, organizational forms, employment methods, interest relations and distribution methods in China, people's value orientation, moral concepts and cultural life are also increasingly diversified. In such a relaxed social and political environment, people's thoughts will undoubtedly present a relaxed state, thus providing a fundamental condition for accepting Li Yunlong's image.

Second, such characters are closer to life. The basic truth that "literature comes from life, but it is higher than life" tells us that literature from life always needs to be revised or blurred, that is to say, appropriate revision or ambiguity is understandable and acceptable. However, in a specific era, literary creators have revised or blurred their lives for one reason or another, so literary works are far from people's lives. In today's era, literary works that over-revise or blur life are bound to be divorced from people. Li Yunlong's characters in "Bright Sword" try to minimize the revision or ambiguity of life and try to restore the true colors of the characters, so they are more easily accepted by people.

Third, such works respect the audience more. With the improvement of people's material and cultural living standards, people's spiritual and cultural living standards will naturally improve, and people's appreciation of literary works will naturally gradually improve. People will no longer be satisfied with stylized and patterned literary works, but need diversified, vivid and full of vitality literary works. It should be said that the timely introduction of such works by literary creators caters to the objective needs of improving the audience's appreciation level, but there is no doubt that this is an attitude of respecting the audience.

Based on the above factors, Li Yunlong, a hero who seems to have many defects, is presented to people with a vivid, vivid and full image, which can be said to be a clever resolution of the hero image in our traditional concept. Although this character image is symbolic in some details, it has its flaws. No one can deny that this character image is a very successful one in recent years. I think it can be further said that the TV series "Bright Sword" has an immeasurable inspiration and influence on the creation of Li Yunlong, even a milestone in the characterization of TV series.
