The Origin of the New School of Wuxia Fictions
The new school of martial arts novels originated in the late 1980s when the martial arts novels of Taiwan and some new martial arts novels began to appear in the mainland of China. These created their own new style of martial arts novels and began to spread among the publishing houses and the public. These works usually had profound philosophical meaning and twists and turns in the plot. They often described the complex relationships and emotional entanglements between Jianghu characters. At the same time, they also integrated traditional Chinese culture and modern scientific and technological elements with a unique literary charm. Therefore, the new martial arts novel was also known as "network martial arts novel" or "network literature". It was a new form of literature that was loved and pursued by the majority of readers.
