摘要

古龍向有台灣新派武俠創始者的稱號，本論文試就其武藝表現的創新之處加以探究。因為武俠小說的模式特徵甚多，但最基本的離不開武、俠二字，故筆者以為武俠小說的「新」，至少應該在「武」、「俠」二個基本元素的詮釋上有所創新，並且在作為「小說」的基本文字表現與寫作技巧上也有所發明，方能稱為真正具有轉型創新意義的新派武俠。僅就「武」而言，自平江不肖生以來，武俠小說中的武藝描寫就離不開套路化、舞蹈化的表演模式，至多是在武藝的詮解過程中，結合中國傳統哲思、藝術以達到「借武論道」的目的。此一模式自二○、三○、四○年代一路發展到五○、六○年代的港、台武俠小說諸家，基本上都是一致的，都逃不開表演式的、借武論道的武藝描寫。到了古龍的新派武俠小說裏，武藝的描寫開始放棄了套路化、舞蹈化，結合心理、氣氛的渲染而呈現了新的動作描寫。古龍甚至在武俠內涵上從「借武論道」向「獻身武道」發展，而使他小說中的武學思維大異於前人。這是古龍在「武」方面的創新之處。本論文從動作描寫談古龍小說中的武藝表現，並從獻身武道談古龍作品中的武學內涵。試由此說明古龍對武俠小說中的武學的提昇之功。
