Xianxia novel Чтиво, к которому я склонен в последние несколько месяцев. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xianxia_n https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wuxia https://forum.novelupdates.com/thre Difference between Wuxia, Xianxia and Xuanhuan: 1. one can punch through a wall. 2. one can punch a hole through the air and make a sonic boom 3. one can punch a hole in the fabric of reality while getting verbally abused by 13 arrogant young masters. Wuxia ( 武俠 wǔ xiá ) - literally means "Martial Heroes". Fictional stories about regular humans who can achieve supernatural fighting ability through Chinese martial arts training and internal energy cultivation. Themes of chivalry, tragedy, revenge & romance are common. Xianxia ( 仙侠 xiānxiá ) - literally means "Immortal Heroes". Fictional stories featuring magic, demons, ghosts, immortals, and a great deal of Chinese folklore/mythology. Protagonists (usually) attempt to cultivate to Immortality, seeking eternal life and the pinnacle of strength. Heavily inspired by Daoism. Comparison: If Wuxia is "low fantasy", then Xianxia is "high fantasy". Xuanhuan ( 玄幻 xuán huàn ) - literally means "Mysterious Fantasy". A broad genre of fictional stories which remixes Chinese folklore/mythology with foreign elements & settings. Xuanhuan and Xianxia novels may sometimes seem similar on the surface. Look for the presence of Daoist elements (the Dao, Yin and Yang, Immortals, etc...) in the novel to easily distinguish the two – if they aren't present, then the novel is probably Xuanhuan. * * * Очень интересное, практически инопланетянское чтиво. Не хуже "коммерческого, китайского предложения", а часто и перевод тоже такой. Привет Current Mood: |
