A Study on the Literary Landscape of Taohua Island in Legends of the Condor Heroes

Abstract

The writer Louis Cha took the Taohua Island in Zhoushan, Zhejiang Province as the prototype, and built a fairyland with martial arts flavor in his book Legends of the Condor Heroes. The natural landscape of Taohua Island thus turns into a literary landscape after literary writing. Later readers combined their own aesthetic feeling to construct an ideal Taohua Island in their hearts, forming an aesthetic space. The Taohua Islands in nature, in literature and in readers' hearts are interrelated, which shape the three-layer spaces of the landscape of Taohua Island and give Taohua Island its unique connotation of martial arts wonderland. Exploring the unique cultural value of Taohua Island will help the construction and development of its natural landscape.
