Many of Mr. Jin Yong's novels involved the Shaolin Temple, but it did not mean that the Shaolin Temple was described as an evil organization. In Jin Yong's novels, Shaolin Temple was a Buddhist sect with a long history and profound cultural heritage. Its teachings emphasized cultivation and justice. In many novels, Shaolin Temple was a positive character. Although there are many plots describing Shaolin Temple in Jin Yong's novels, there are also some novels that describe Shaolin Temple negatively. This may be due to the needs of the story or the author's personal views. However, no matter how Shaolin Temple was portrayed in the novel as a traditional Buddhist sect, its teachings and historical background would not change.

The Shaolin Temple was not exactly the same as Buddhism. In Jin Yong's novel, Shaolin Temple was a famous Buddhist temple run by monks and was famous for treating the illnesses of martial artists. Buddhism, on the other hand, referred to the area where the Buddhist temple was located, not necessarily to Buddhism itself. In fantasy novels, Buddhism usually referred to India, the birthplace of Buddhism, or the country or region where Buddhist temples were located. In these novels, Buddhists usually had extremely high wisdom and cultivation ability, and could master all kinds of magical spells and skills. Although Shaolin Temple and Buddhism have different meanings, they both involve Buddhist culture, so in some novels, they will be confused.
In Mr. Jin Yong's novel, Shaolin Temple was a well-respected sect known for its powerful martial arts and excellent education. In the novel, Shaolin Temple not only inherited traditional martial arts, but also cultivated many outstanding disciples such as Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Ling Huchong, etc. In addition, the monks of Shaolin Temple also paid attention to public welfare and helped the poor people. They were deeply respected by the people. Therefore, Shaolin Temple was a highly respected sect in Mr. Jin Yong's novels.

In Jin Yong's wuxia novels, the order of seniority in Shaolin Temple was usually arranged according to martial arts cultivation and contribution. Generally speaking, the seniority system in Shaolin Temple was: [Apprentice: Beginner Disciple] Initial Disciple [Fruit Rank: Intermediate Disciple] [Dao Fruit: Advanced Disciple] [Dao Attainment: Master Disciple] Among them, the apprentice was the true fruit of the entry disciple, the fruit was a higher level, the Dao fruit was the cultivation to the extreme, and the Dao Dao was the degree and performance of cultivation. In Jin Yong's novel, the order of seniority in Shaolin Temple was based on the martial arts cultivation and contribution of these disciples. The story background might be different.
In Jin Yong's martial arts novels, the most powerful internal energy of Shaolin Temple was the Xuanming power contained in the Xuanming Sutra of Shaolin Temple. The Xuanming Force was a mysterious force that could increase a person's martial arts level and reduce the strength of the opponent at the same time. In the novel, many martial arts masters had tried to cultivate the Xuanming Sutra but failed to master this power.
This question involved the plot setting of Jin Yong's novel and the image of Shaolin Temple. In Jin Yong's novels, Shaolin Temple was a very important martial arts sect. Its abbot and other senior managers usually had superb martial arts, but they were often described as weak and lacked aggressive images. This was because Jin Yong's novels often focused on the struggle and conflict between martial arts sects. As one of the martial arts sects, Shaolin Temple's abbot and other managers were weaker in martial arts, so they could compete with other martial arts masters to highlight the contradictions and confrontations between martial arts sects. In addition, the weaker martial arts of the abbot and other senior management members of the Shaolin Temple could better reflect the low-key and conservative nature of the Shaolin Temple, as well as its emphasis on cultivation and religious atmosphere. In Jin Yong's novels, the abbot of Shaolin Temple and other managers were usually portrayed as kind, compassionate, and capable people. Although their martial arts were weak, their inner strength and philosophical thoughts were very profound, which could also bring deep insights and thoughts to readers.
Mr. Jin Yong's " Tianlong Ba Bu " was one of the famous wuxia novels that was widely read and discussed. However, some people did point out that there were some unreasonable or inaccurate plots in the novel. One of the more famous mistakes was the birth year of Duan Yu and Xu Zhu in the novel. According to the plot of the novel, Duan Yu was born in 1183 and Xuzhu was born in 1160. However, this number did not match the historical year. The year 1183 was the year when the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed and the year 1160 was the year when the Southern Song Dynasty was established. In addition, the age and experience of some characters in the novel did not conform to historical facts. For example, Duan Zhengchun's age in the novel was around 60 years old, but according to historical records, his real age was much younger than this. Although these mistakes wouldn't affect " Tian Long Ba Bu " as a classic martial arts novel, it would be more interesting for some history lovers or readers interested in history to understand these details.
