It usually described a group of ambitious young people struggling, growing up, pursuing themselves, and defeating evil forces in the Jianghu.

The characteristics of the early Wuxia novels included:

Among them, Mr. Jin Yong was the representative of the early martial arts novels. His works such as The Legend of the Condor Heroes, The Return of the Condor Heroes, and The Eight Dragons and Dragons became classics that influenced the growth and values of several generations. At the same time, Mr. Gu Long, Mr. Liang Yusheng, Mr. Huang Yi, and others had also made important contributions to the development of martial arts novels.
