Xiong Yaohua (Chinese: 熊耀華) (7 June 1938 – 21 September 1985), better known by his pen name Gu Long, was a Chinese novelist, screenwriter, film producer and director. Xiong is best known for writing wuxia novels and serials, which include Juedai Shuangjiao, Xiaoli Feidao Series, Chu Liuxiang Series, Lu Xiaofeng Series and Xiao Shiyilang. Some of these works have been adapted into films and television series for numerous times. In the 1980s Xiong started his own film studio, Bao Sian, to focus on adaptations of his works. He graduated from Cheng Kung Senior High School in Taipei and from the Foreign Language Department of Tamkang University.
Xiong was born on 7 June 1938 in Hong Kong but his registered identity claimed that he was born in 1941. His ancestral home was in Nanchang, Jiangxi, China, and he lived in Hankou in his childhood. He moved to Taipei, Taiwan in 1952 with his parents, who divorced in 1956. With help from his friends and using the money he earned from part-time work to fund his education, Xiong graduated from the Foreign Language Department of Tamkang University. He found a job in the United States Army Advisory in Taipei later.
In 1960, Xiong published his first wuxia novel, Cangqiong Shenjian (蒼穹神劍), under the pen name "Gu Long". From 1960 to 1961, Xiong published eight novels but did not achieve the results he desired. He moved to Ruifang Town (瑞芳鎮) and lived there for three years, after which he changed his perspective and adopted a new writing style. Between 1967 and the late 1970s, Xiong rose to prominence in the genre of modern wuxia fiction for his works. As the sole representative of excellence in the wuxia genre from Taiwan for an entire decade, Xiong was named along with Jin Yong and Liang Yusheng as the "Three Legs of the Tripod of Wuxia".
While he was still in university, Xiong lived with a dance hostess, Zheng Yuexia (鄭月霞), and had a son, Zheng Xiaolong (鄭小龍), with her. However, later, he started a relationship with another dance hostess, Ye Xue (葉雪), who also bore him a son, Ye Yikuan (葉怡寬). Shortly after that, Xiong met a senior middle school graduate, Mei Baozhu (梅寶珠), who became his first legal spouse and bore him his third son, Xiong Zhengda (熊正達). Xiong's extramarital affairs with other women caused him to break up with Mei later.
In the later part of his life, Xiong suffered from depression and the quality of his works declined rapidly. He had to employ ghostwriters to co-write many of his later works because of his ailing health. He died on 21 September 1985 at the age of 48 due to illness wrought by alcoholism, namely cirrhosis and esophageal hemorrhage, at around 6pm. Xiong's friends brought him 48 bottles of XO at his funeral.
Xiong was said to be influenced not only by wuxia fiction, but also by the works of Ernest Hemingway, Jack London, John Steinbeck and Friedrich Nietzsche. His novels are usually made up of short sentences and paragraphs, and mostly dialogues between characters like a play script.
In contrast with Xiong, other writers such as Jin Yong and Liang Yusheng take an alternative route in writing wuxia fiction, incorporating Chinese history, culture and philosophical ideas in their works. Xiong initially intended to follow them but changed his decision after exposure to western works such as the James Bond series and The Godfather novels. The influence of these works, which relied on the idiosyncrasies of human life, razor-sharp wit, poetic philosophies, mysterious plots and spine-tingling thrills to achieve success, enabled Xiong to come up with a unique way of writing.

古龍的《七種武器之孔雀翎》是一部雖然篇幅短小，卻寫得非常精彩的作品。它精煉的敘述講述了一個完整而淒美的故事。故事中的兩位男主角，在一次任務中救了一個無法救贖的人，從而惺惺相惜，成為莫逆之交。主角高立，在走投無路之際，向秋鳳悟借用孔雀翎，卻不慎將其遺失。儘管不願離開愛妻雙雙，但為了不背棄兄弟情誼，高立仍決定前往孔雀山莊謝罪。秋鳳悟為了保守家族秘密，不得不將高立殺害。然而，在高立臨終前，為了讓他無悔，秋鳳悟透露了孔雀山莊的秘密。這一悲劇充滿矛盾，令人唏噓不已。《孔雀翎》雖然篇幅不長，卻生動地描繪了一段淒美的故事，將高立與秋鳳悟的兄弟情深刻地勾勒出來。這是一個充滿矛盾的悲劇，秋鳳悟不希望高立終生自責，因此向他揭露了家族的最大秘密。但諷切的是，正是因為這個秘密，秋鳳悟不得不殺害高立。這樣的劇情布局非常巧妙。

之前讀武俠都讀金庸的，這是我第一次讀古龍，真正見識了古龍獨具特色的文藻堆砌，如何用詩一樣從容的形式駕御緊湊的小說情節。雖然都寫武功，都歌頌義氣、崇尚風骨，但古龍跟金庸的風格真的差了十萬八千里。古龍寫書就像是以說書人的口吻講道，時不時來個跳脫故事時空設置的比喻，而金庸是完全把讀者拉近故事裡，浸淫其中，廢寢忘食，因為中了金庸毒的讀者已經像是活在另一個不必吃也不必喝的世界裡，只有書中人物的一顰一笑才會牽動心弦啊！古龍的故事也是使人欲罷不能，但比起來清淡得多，沒有讀金庸那種稠密的眷戀，那種提得起卻不願，也不能放下的意猶未盡。但總體而言，《孔雀翎》富含人生道理，涵意深遠卻淺顯易懂，不失為一本舉重若輕的寓言故事。
