When it comes to martial arts novels, one cannot ignore Liang Yusheng and his unique charm that exudes from his simplicity. As far as new-style martial arts novels are concerned, Gu Long is the younger generation, Jin Yong is the person who took one step further, and Liang Yusheng is the "big brother" in terms of time. It was precisely because he unintentionally walked into the martial arts world that he created the most spectacular cultural landscape of this century—the martial arts craze. Liang Yusheng's literary skills are profound, his language is beautiful, and his descriptions are vivid. He uses a large amount of poetry in his works, which sets him apart. However, his portrayal of plots is somewhat inferior to Jin Yong and Gu Long, but his works are still worth reading and are worthy of being one of the three great masters.
Liang Yusheng's martial arts novels connect to the chivalrous novels since the "Legend of Sons and Daughters" and the old martial arts novels of the Republic of China. It opened up new Chinese martial arts literature and paved the way for Jin Yong and Gu Long. He evaluated his position in the martial arts novel world in this way: he is the one who set the trend, and Jin Yong is the one who carried it forward.
In the 1960s and 1970s, he and Jin Yong jointly carried the banner of new-style martial arts novels. "Liang and Jin were both well-known, radiating light." During the period when Liang and Jin were contemporaries, Liang advocated that "chivalry is the embodiment of the wisdom and moral character of the lower-class working people," and established chivalry on the basis of justice, dignity, and love for the people, rejecting the tendency of old-style martial arts novels to blindly seek revenge and indulge in killing. Jin Yong elevated it to "the greatest chivalry is for the country and the people."
Liang Yusheng's novels are famous for their solid historical and literary knowledge and ancient poetry expertise. His language is full of elegance, and his stories are often embellished with poems, folksongs, and idioms. His novel techniques are mainly inherited from the tradition, with chapters and rounds serving as the main form of story-telling. The poetic style of the rounds has a deep and pleasant rhythm, and the narrative also bears a clear oral storytelling style. The moral colors of the characters in his martial arts novels are strong, and the distinction between right and wrong is strict. Each of his martial arts works has a clear historical background, and the plot design is ingenious and rich. Some people believe that the flaw of Liang Yusheng's novels lies in their "tedious" nature, which may still be due to Liang's persistent attitude as a "traditional" literati. Liang himself said, "Perhaps I have also had a 'fantastical' problem, but 'fantasy' is not the mainstream of my works and not my style."
