Recently a reasoning drama "Detective Di Renjie" took off on the network. Today, we have to chat with Chinese ancient "detective."
"Detective" is the word at the latest generation in the Song Dynasty. However, the earliest time, "Detective" The term does not refer to love each other and Watson curls male or tricks to kill the Japanese record second only to Hengdian pupils. A beginning, "detective" is a verb, is literally reconnaissance, spying meaning, generally refers to military reconnaissance. For example, Song Ming Chen Peng turtle in an article "On the solution Yan Cheung defeated Gong books tea Kou," and there's "tea Kou" is a guide to Song Laiwen Zheng uprising, which is the Southern Song Dynasty more important uprising and, ultimately, we are very familiar with the big words people ji are flat, and this "book" is to introduce solutions Cheung Yan in Pingxiang and "tea Kou" military combat and defeat medals, among them saying goes "on the 29th, so that four soldiers Solutions Cheung Yan detective and met Kou Zhou fishing in the pond, the two bandits killed, two walk off the return message. "here," detective "is obviously reconnaissance means. Again we are very familiar with the "Water Margin" in the one hundred and sixth back to the "student laughing but did not break enemy navy confused fortified city" talk battle against troops of Song Qing Wang Nan Shan rebels entrenched: "Song Jiang orders, teach one side clean up siege equipment, poor fine Juncu side, surrounded by detectives message. "
Later, the "detective" the word evolved out of the noun meanings. Xue Ming with God in "the town of thistle reconsideration matters Shu" the arms were addressed including the "detective" This one of the equivalent of our scouts said today. In modern times, "detective" is the term often used to refer to a class of agents of political intelligence. We have seen in modern novels noun, "detective", mostly it means. For example, Mr. Lao She's novel "slough": "Especially at this time, teahouse tavern in red are re-posted from 'Mo talk about affairs of state' note, but really a lot of plainclothes detectives to investigate, as the red paper that children come true not efficacious. "
And senses as we understand it today, "detective" This refers to privately commissioned to carry out a civil investigation, or even assisting the police investigation of criminal cases of full-time staff, it is in the Qing Dynasty, along with the European detective fiction translation arising of. Qing Dynasty period, the degree of popular Western detective literature can is not less than the contemporary. According to statistics, when the translation of foreign novels, detective novels are a full quarter. Among these, the famous translator Lin Shu's translation of "Sherlock Holmes package Holmes" is the most popular. This sweet and happy love story touched the hearts of many Chinese readers.
Detective modern sense first appeared in 1833 in France. Ancient China in a private capacity and not specifically to investigate career (if not the words of matchmaker), and of course there is no detective and detective fiction in this sense. Ancient Chinese people full-time reconnaissance, basically judicial, military or politics. In the Tang Dynasty, there is a class of public servants in charge of criminal investigations called "bad people", academia still can not determine the position of this very strange name it is how come. Some also have open political dynasty spy agency, the most famous is the Three Kingdoms period of the Ming Dynasty school things and plant health. These institutions are generated in the normal administrative oversight mechanisms destruction period in time and later suffered evaluation are very low.
But no private detective does not mean that the ancient Chinese literary works to solve the case there would be no class. These detection and related stories on the history of Chinese literature called "detective story." Early in the words of the Song Dynasty, the detective story has become a more important subject matter. This theme continues in the future development of the Jiaqing, Daoguang period after the "chivalrous koan novel" and even became one of the major schools of Chinese fiction at the time. And the West in order to expand the private nature of the investigation, relying on extensive knowledge, attention to detail and a magic memory capacity, and at least at first glance very strict logical reasoning to solve criminal cases, rely on limited point of view of suspense to keep the pleasure of reading detective stories different, solved the main Chinese detective story has largely Guards IQ clean government, or with hanging open martial arts detection process is also heavily dependent on a large number of deities instructions Feiyanzoubi eavesdropping as burglary, or simply a coincidence informed and so do not fly these very the nature of the case to a criminal case based, but also includes a number of civil the majority of detective stories are used omniscient point of view, very little suspense, not focusing on the performance of reasoning process, and focus on good and evil attacks and armed fights among.
The most influential novels at the time, is speaking about the legendary detective Bao Zheng's "Chivalric Heroes" (it has been a famous Qing Dynasty scholar Yu Yue adapted version called "Five Seven Chivalrous justice") . In addition to Bao Zheng, many large influence in popular culture, is considered smart and incorruptible officials, such as Di Renjie, Song Ci, Hai, Jackie Chan, Peng Peng, Shi Shi Lun, Liu Yong, Lin, etc., have been attached to the meeting a lot of detective stories, compiled a special detective novels. The impact of these contemporary novels are relatively small, but by their interpretation of the film and television work but today occupied not a small market share. In these detective novels, tells the story of Di Renjie "Celebrated Cases of Judge Dee" was originally just a very ordinary work. But in the 1950s and sixties, the Dutch diplomat Robert van Gulik in the "Celebrated Cases of Judge Dee," translated into English, the English and breath created 24 to Di Renjie as the hero of a Western-style detective novels, collectively known as " Judge Dee ", which in the mass media will be shaped into Detective Di Renjie image. In fact, this image is not a little contact with real history can not be found. Di Renjie ever done in the history of Dali Cheng (the job a bit like the Supreme Court). According to the "Book of Tang" volume one hundred and fifteen "Di Renjie" records, he was in office during the "Year of the long prison break 17,000, was called Ping Shu," translated into modern Chinese sentence is one year ten thousand seven thousand backlog of cases, when people think he was a just and tolerant. If he really be able to achieve this ad litem personally efficiency, settle a lawsuit he can really do justice and tolerance and does not say I'm afraid. But he has done a full-time officer in charge to settle a lawsuit, which is down should not matter what the problem.
In addition to the special chivalrous detective novels, many other Chinese classical novels of justice and the embodiment of wisdom were also involved in the investigation work of many cases. For example, "Monk Biography" in the Dow monk, "Travels" in the Tieying, are involved in the detection process. But these people and detective novels knight who, like the case are not professional detectives, and their participation in detection, but also to represent the moon to destroy the bad guys only.
