WuxiaSociety 🗡️🐉 Why "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils"?
Jin Yong's preface explains: 天龙八部 = "Eight Legions of Deva and Nāga" from Buddhist scriptures.
Eight supernatural races (devas, nāgas, yakshas, asuras, garudas, etc.) who symbolise his mortal characters—all struggling with desire and suffering.
Buddhist mythology meets wuxia storytelling.

Fijne bespreking van "The Deer and the Cauldron" (vert John Minford), de laatste serie van de legendarische kungfu-schrijver Jin Yong. Dit laatste verhaal is heel anders dan zijn eerdere meer rechttoe-rechtane kungfu-verhalen: de hoofdpersoon is niet rechtschapen, maar een bedrieger die zich overal in en weer uit weet te werken.

I read once that Chinese people learn their history not in school, but from #JinYong, and thought, "One billion people can't be wrong," so the next day I started reading LoCH. The project of working my way through Jin Yong's ouevre has been slowed by my needing to read everything *around* the history in the books, but this is just as I planned it.
