Wuxia novels originated from the Northern and Southern Dynasties in China. During this period, many literary works related to chivalry appeared, such as the Legend of Chivalry in the Book of Liang. These works all described the grudges of Jianghu and the legends of chivalrous men. Later, Wuxia novels gradually developed into an independent genre of literature and reached its peak in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In modern times, wuxia novels had become an important part of Chinese literature and were deeply loved by readers.
