Traditional martial arts have long since declined, which is undoubtedly a well-known fact. Nowadays, there are very few people who watch martial arts, only a handful of people write martial arts, and even fewer people who read and create traditional martial arts———— yes, martial arts novels have been around for a long time, but martial arts novels have not been valued and understood for a long time.

The novel is one of the most mature and important forms in the history of Chinese literature. The martial arts novel is the oldest, most substantial, and most cultured category in the history of Chinese novels: as early as 2,000 years ago, Taishi Gong recorded in the "Historical Records" in the "Biography of the Rangers", which is the earliest prototype of martial arts novels———— and then through the exploration of the theme of "gods, ghosts, ghosts, and monsters" in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the prosperity of the Tang legend "Buddhism and Zen Buddhism", and the deep reflection on the situation of the Song and Yuan Dynasty texts "National Crisis, National Righteousness; Water Margin", "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness" and other typical representatives, and then by the Republic of China period of the emancipation of the mind, the rise of vernacular literature, martial arts novels finally with the unique charm of popular literature, the unique chivalrous spirit, the spiritual philosophy of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and the colorful twists and turns of the plot, deeply loved by people, opening up an unprecedented prosperity in the past. In other words, martial arts novels run through the development of Chinese society for 2,000 years, are reflected in the interpretation of China's history and culture for 2,000 years, and exist in the life and continuation of Chinese people for 2,000 years.

There must be a reason for an ideology to be preserved and circulated for thousands of years———— "martial arts" is a symbol, "chivalry" is a feeling, and martial arts is a culture.

The "martial arts" in martial arts are basically consistent with the Confucian school of "benevolence", martial virtue is benevolence, pushing oneself and others, "Zuo Chuan" Zeng Yun: "Martial arts have seven virtues, prohibiting violence, soldiers, protecting the great, determining merit, reassuring the people, and the public, and those who are rich." Wu is not only the strength to uphold justice and defend peace, but also the manifestation of "doing something and not doing something" in the "Analects of Zilu", and it is also a direct embodiment of Mencius's "although thousands of people go to me";

The "chivalry" in martial arts is born from the Mohist sense of mission of "taking the world as its own responsibility", and it is also the Confucian policy of "helping the world if you are good, and being poor is good for yourself", and it is also a typical representative of the family and country sentiment value system of "the worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world".

In other words, the chivalrous world constructed by martial arts culture is a kind of awakening and thinking about life and death formed by the Chinese nation in the historical development of thousands of years, and under the influence of traditional culture "Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism" and "Western learning to the East", it is a perfect image paradigm———— she is the struggle, vision, and beautiful expectations of generations of people for natural and social life. Therefore, although the Chinese are in different regions of the world, most of those who have been influenced by Chinese culture will have a soft spot for martial arts culture, especially the martial arts spirit of national unity, the world for the public, honesty and trustworthiness, doing what they say, knowing how to repay kindness, daring to love and hate, punishing evil and promoting good, and righteousness.

In a word, the spirit of martial arts and the culture of martial arts flow in the blood of the Chinese people. Whether you like it or not, whether you agree with the value of martial arts novels or not, the facts will never be transferred by your will.
