About This Novel
This book systematically sorts out the changes in the image of knight-errants in literary works from the Pre-Qin Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, and explores the impact of knight-errant culture on ancient Chinese literature, the social atmosphere of the time, and the mentality of scholars. Sima Qian was the first to write a biography of the knight-errant, establishing the classic image of the knight-errant. Starting from Cao Zhi, the image of the chivalrous man has been combined with patriotism. The heroic feats of young chivalrous men who "sacrifice themselves to fight for the country's calamity and regard death as a sudden return" has inspired generations of passionate men. The image of knights in chivalrous poems and legendary novels of the Tang Dynasty is also a representative of the tolerant, open-minded, positive and high-spirited ethos of the times in the Tang Dynasty. Chivalrous literature is rooted in the rich soil of traditional culture and embodies the Chinese nation's pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty, so it has vigorous vitality. Contemporary college students are at an age where they admire heroes and need to establish a correct view of heroes and values. This book combs and elucidates the image of chivalry in excellent ancient literary works, absorbs the essence, eliminates the dross, and combines it with the new era's view of heroes to build a hero system with national characteristics and enhance college students' cultural confidence and patriotic sentiment.
