雪山飛狐
《雪山飛狐》有兩項特別之處：一是故事的結局未完，是一部永遠不完的小說，結局可由每一位讀者自行再創作。二是書中的主要人物（胡斐、苗人鳳等），曾在另一書中出現（即《飛狐外傳》），但兩個故事內容並沒有什麼牽連。《雪山飛狐》的主要人物，出場不多，著墨甚少，甚至還有的根本未曾正式出過場（如胡一刀夫婦），但作者大師風範，揮灑自如，寫來有如天風海雨，動人心魄，這些英雄人物形象直逼入眼簾，令人拍案叫絕。

雪山飛狐的故事固然也有一些情節上的曲折，但於感情、知識、思想上都無深刻處，算是本極普通的小說。唯一值得一提的是，苗人鳳小時候練劍，因背上有蚤子咬，又不敢伸手搔癢，只好聳動背脊，因此被父親責打一頓。沒想到竟然導致他以後每次使出這招時，便會下意識的聳動背脊，造成劍法上的破綻。因為這個點子涉及潛意識、習慣性，很有心理學的意義，所以讓我留有印象。至於《鴛鴦刀》和《白馬嘯西風》兩篇，則船過水無痕，沒什麼可說的。

金庸作品略逊于古龙的地方只有那一种开阔潇洒、天地悠悠的“境界”，而这本更是毫无境界。

My first Wuxia novel, and my first Jin Yong novel. I've heard of this "most famous author in the world, but you've never heard of him" many times before since starting to learn Chinese, but haven't tried to tackle any of his work until now. Starting with a novella was a good idea, because his most famous novels rival Game of Thrones and the Tolkien universe in length. This novella reminded me immediately of both Rashomon and The Hateful Eight.
A story is retold multiple times over by different characters, each with their own versions of the events that happened, and each with their own secrets and agendas. Trapped atop a snowy mountain while waiting for the dreaded Flying Fox to come, we hear about this dangerous master swordsman who is hellbent on vengeance for chapters on end before he finally reveals himself 2/3 into the book. Swordsmen dance with their blades in battles described with poetic language taken from China's literary classics. It seems there is one shocking revelation after another, one for every chapter. Given that it was originally serialized in a popular HK newspaper, the cliffhanger endings for every chapter make sense.
The version I read came with a very helpful preface and postscript by the author, explaining his views on literature, art, philosophy, history, and martial arts. In this novel, themes of honor, loyalty, integrity, righteousness, guilt, and hubris are explored in the characters' storytelling. I can see why Jin Yong's wuxia novels have captivated audiences young and old across Asia over the past several decades. This kind of literature could be difficult to translate into English, let alone in a way that would prove popular in the U.S., given its references to and deep roots in "traditional Chinese culture" (whatever that means anymore).
To other Westerners, I would recommend Flying Fox of the Snowy Mountain to those who want to get a glimpse of this immensely popular writer and the wuxia genre, but who don't want to also be totally overwhelmed by 100,000 character+ epic trilogies at the outset. This one might also satisfy the Rashomon-loving crowd out there.

知道結局啊啊啊！（結局是開放式的 *cliffhanger alert*）
金庸筆下的角色、環境等栩栩如生，描寫極為精緻。可惜，本人懂的詞彙有限，一看難字就當那句是好句。:D
雪山飛狐就是胡婓，「遼東大俠」，胡一刀之子。
其實，讀者同樣同情苗人鳳、胡一刀和胡婓。。。他們兩人的性格令我印象特別深刻。
書中運用了插敘的敘事手法。此方法能令故事的結構更嚴密，因為作者能在故事中加插內容作為補充。例如，苗若蘭、田青文等人在山上時，講了一些故事。那些故事都是關於胡一刀以及胡婓的背景。有了那些背景的補充，讀者就能更加明白及了解「雪山飛狐」。
插敘更能凸顯主要的故事情節。作者先安排寶樹出場，再安排眾人上山講故事，交代了胡一刀的死因以及胡婓的背景。這些情節發生在一天內，場合為山上山下，所有的人物在短時間內出場，因此小說的結構顯得緊湊、嚴密。這樣的安排並沒有搶了胡婓的風采，同時不會令讀者分散注意力在別的角色上，因此小說的主要情節及中心人物就更為突出。
插敘還能為故事天價懸念。例如，一開始田青文所周雲陽一定懂開鐵盒，令其他角色，讀者包括在內，感到極為疑惑：為何周雲陽會懂開呢？田青文有怎樣知道的？最後，故事加插了田青文吉周雲陽的秘密。可見，金庸在書中埋下了多個伏筆，為結尾做了鋪墊，令故事更為吸引。
（可給五星，但武俠不是我特別喜愛的類型。
看完此書，有興趣看《鹿鼎記》！）

Exceptional in places, but suffered from way too many characters and way too many left field plot developments. I can't decide if it felt made up as it went along or surprisingly tight despite feeling a bit loosely wound. My own language ability is a bit lacking so I'll be trying Jin Yong again when I have improved.

Read the first story for now. Might take some time before I finish the entire book.

當年短時間內囫圇吞棗的吞了全部的金庸作品，這本似乎印象較沒那樣深刻。

雪山飞狐是我的第一本金庸的小说，也是第一本武侠小说。算不错的入门书。不过雪山飞狐也是没有明确的结局，把读者悬挂在一端，耐人寻味。难道作者累了吗？

雪山飛狐這本書是記述胡和苗家幾代的經歷。上代因苗家為了尋仇所以就與胡一刀約了一起比武切磋武藝。但後來他卻成為了朋友，始終恩怨比交朋友重要，所以最後被金面佛拿刀插傷。但中毒生忙。最後大家也不知胡一刀之子是否在比武被金面佛殺了

此本為短篇小說集，共用雪山飛狐、鴛鴦刀、白馬嘯西風，其西我最喜歡雪山飛狐。
雪山飛狐雖以飛狐為名，但故事實以上一代的故事為主；不明就裡而呈接上一代恩怨情仇的一群人，因為一只鐵盒而全聚在一塊，待每一個人各說完自己所知的故事，並將之拼湊成故事完整的樣貌時，這才水落石出。有點像偵探小說，很有意思!

所以说嘛, 单武功高强但不善言辞是没有用地! 苗人凤、胡一刀 和胡斐都是一样 为什么不要把话说明白然后再干呢？无谓的讲面子、自以为是. 此书作为飞狐外传的前传与结局 - 还是值得一看的
