About the author
Jin Yong
849 books774 followersLouis Cha, GBM, OBE (born 6 February 1924), better known by his pen name Jin Yong (金庸, sometimes read and/or written as "Chin Yung"), is a modern Chinese-language novelist. Having co-founded the Hong Kong daily Ming Pao in 1959, he was the paper's first editor-in-chief.
Cha's fiction, which is of the wuxia ("martial arts and chivalry") genre, has a widespread following in Chinese-speaking areas, including mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, and the United States. His 15 works written between 1955 and 1972 earned him a reputation as one of the finest wuxia writers ever. He is currently the best-selling Chinese author alive; over 100 million copies of his works have been sold worldwide (not including unknown number of bootleg copies).
Cha's works have been translated into English, French, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai, Burmese, Malay and Indonesian. He has many fans abroad as well, owing to the numerous adaptations of his works into films, television series, comics and video games.

January 21, 2022
I first read this as a primary school student, reread a couple of times throughout high school and university because of it being freely available on the Internet. Before I know it this has become my favorite novel, perhaps a lifelong favorite of mine. It is not far-fetched to say this book kickstarted my reading hobby, even if I do not consume much fiction nowadays.
At different points in life I enjoyed this book for different reasons. My initial impression was that this book had a main character that made me feel represented. Chen Jialuo's name is only one different character away from mine. He embodies this scholar-swordsman archetype that is witty, nerdy, and unconvincing on the surface, but always has the substance to make the right choices when push comes to shove. He had to step into shoes that he was initially reluctant to, but chose to take it up and gave his role of being the head of a society aiming to overthrow the Manchurian empire. He also had some of the most interesting sets of martial arts I have ever read about: using unorthodox weaponry like a sword-shield hybrid and beaded cords, a potpourri approach to melee combat using seemingly random assortments of techniques that aims to catch the opponent off guard, and his trademark 'Dexterous Butcher' style inspired by a Zhuangzi story.
As a youngster, I always felt this book's ending was tragic and unrewarding, with a lot of poor choices made on the main character's part due to his tenderness and naivety. Now I see this story about a group of people trying to make the best out of their circumstances. Han people trying to reclaim the land for their own from the invaders, balancing the greater good against their personal desires, compromises they have to make, and redemption for their shortcomings.
This is Jin Yong's first complete novel, which is already incredibly polished, with extremely detailed descriptions of martial art actions, sects, and philosophies. It also has a very matured view of how the underworld interacts with the officials, and a nuanced view of the various parties involved. It also splits its attention rather evenly on the other side characters while not losing sight of the main plot and the main character in this novel. These characters are not outstanding when contrasted to the grand host of interesting characters in the rest of Jin Yong's books, but they always make a lasting impression. The hunched Zhang Jing with a spiked mace, the taiji master who is a virtuoso with thrown weapons Zhao Banshan, 'Lightning Palm' Wen Tailai etc are very difficult to forget, which is an incredible feat that is rarely replicated in other stories.
Its has a few flaws so far. A major one is that the odds that the main characters, or rather the side for good, is overwhelmingly strong compared to the adversities they have to face. There were not much points where the reader has to genuinely worry about the odds of the 'good guys' especially in classic duels, because they always had more advantages than the opponents in terms of wit and strength. When the most powerful villain bar the emperor is only marginally stronger than the main character (who has a host of equally strong if not stronger allies), the conflict can be easily resolved with a small powerup. I also privately wished it had a more rewarding and satisfying resolution other than kidnapping Fu Kang-an successfully. Jin Yong also did a mediocre job illustrating the passage of time and the shifting of allegiances, which is key to clarifying the story. It was confusing to see certain fights breaking out of nowhere, how different parties come together or turn against each other. I think he mainly wanted to let the character's actions speak for themselves, but for a novel of this length and scope I would argue it makes more sense to spend more time clarifying the private intentions of characters. The defeat of the Ugyhur was also depicted in a sudden and forced manner, which forced the escalation to the novel's actual climax rather abruptly.
'The Book and the Sword' feels more like historical fiction not unlike 'The Deer and the Cauldron', the bigger forces at play were not strength or martial art talent, but trickery, relationships, and political power. I love the trivial interactions that happens between the huge cast of characters and the martial art action. The inclusion of Apandi in the story arc is also a surprising twist for those who are acquainted with his stories. While this is definitely not Jin Yong's finest novel, it is definitely better than what most people give this credit for and possibly the best debut novel a writer can ask for.

我至從中一受父母的推介，剛接觸到武俠小說這種新事物，登時就被深深的吸引而無法自拔。我第一本閱讀的金庸小說便是這本《書劍恩仇錄》，他給我的感覺就像是俠義與愛情和武功結合的經典，也讓我對於金庸大俠的小說有了最基本的認識。這本書的年代是在清朝乾隆時期，描繪的是紅花會總舵主陳家洛的成長歷程。紅花會是當時作反清復明大業的團體，每一位都是能夠獨當一面的好漢。
只是書中有些莫名之處，例如在杭州六和塔，紅花會智擒乾隆，而在這個大好機會，陳家洛所有的心機卻都用在勸兄作漢人皇帝上？？！還有在北京皇宮中，已經犧牲了天山雙鷹、章進等性命之後，難得群豪圍住了乾隆，卻莫名奇妙的被方有德用一個剛出世的嬰兒換了回去，最後還以福康安的性命還得逃命的機會，之後更豹隱回疆，無塵道長、千臂如來趙半山、文泰來、常氏雙俠這些英風颯爽的武林豪傑全部自中原武林除名，紅花會的宗旨、基業、也是十數萬會眾的大幫會頓時化為烏有，我覺得這些情節實在是太離奇了。
此外，令我最感動和可惜的就是香香公主最後為了情郎陳家洛不受乾隆的陷阱，而決定犧牲自己，最終未能與陳家洛繼續生活下去。

水平貌似是比一般的网络口水小说高一些，可是，好像不是我的菜，也就是闲来无事的时候看上两眼，中间随便跳着读也好不影响后续剧情的理解，有种看电视剧的感觉。

金庸第一部作品。比较下还是很稚嫩，尤其武打场面写得有点夸张。再来就是陈家洛性格太温吞了 看了让人生气。

人物出场有点多，感觉有点散。 这是金庸第一部小说，也是我补完金庸全集的最后一部。
