Which martial arts masters were actually very mediocre in history?

Answer 1

Many of the martial arts masters under Jin Yong's pen might not have been mediocre in history because literary works were usually constructed based on the author's imagination and creative inspiration. However, in terms of historical records, they may not be real historical figures, so they may be different in some aspects.

For example, Jin Yong's Huang Yaoshi might not have left many records in history because he was not a famous political figure or military general. Similarly, Duan Yu and Xu Zhu didn't leave much of an impression in history because they weren't real historical figures, but fictional characters in novels.

Although the martial arts masters written by Jin Yong were very exciting in the novel, they might be different in terms of historical records.
