In the process of his creation, he was influenced by many martial arts novels, such as " Tianlong Ba Bu "," Smiling Proud Jianghu ", etc.
Jin Yong was a representative figure of Chinese martial arts novels. His works had influenced several generations of Chinese people. Before Jin Yong wrote martial arts novels, China already had its own traditional martial arts novel system, such as the Ming Dynasty's Flying Fox on Snow Mountain, the Qing Dynasty's Book and Sword's Enemy and Revenge, and so on. These works had been widely circulated and welcomed by readers at that time. In addition, Jin Yong's works also had a wide range of communication and a large audience.

The strongest martial arts in Jin Yong's martial arts novels varied from person to person because each character had their own unique talent, background, and fighting style. Martial arts also evolved with time and the development of the plot. However, generally speaking, the strongest martial arts in Jin Yong's novels were those martial arts systems that had been trained and practiced for a long time, such as the Sunflower Manual, the Nine Yang Sutra, the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, and so on. The founders of these martial arts systems were usually the top experts in the martial arts world. Their martial arts were not only incomparably fierce, but after a long period of training and practice, they had already become unique existences in the martial arts world. There were also some martial arts that displayed astonishing power in specific scenarios, such as the unique martial art of the leader of the Carefree Sect, the "Northern Dark Divine Art", which could absorb the enemy's internal energy to increase his own strength, the "Heavenly Mountain Plum Breaker Hand" of the Heavenly Mountain Maiden, which could defeat a large number of enemies in a short period of time, and some martial arts that displayed great power in specific scenarios, such as Ouyang Feng's "Ouyang Anti-Poison Art", which could paralyze people. There were also martial arts that were known for their speed and flexibility, such as Guo Jing's Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and Huang Rong's Rong School Martial Arts. Therefore, the strongest martial arts in Jin Yong's novels varied from person to person. Different characters, different plot backgrounds, and different scenes all had their own strongest martial arts.
Jin Yong's wuxia novels were regarded as one of the classics of Chinese literature. Many of the plots and characters were widely praised. However, there were different opinions on whether the kung fu in Jin Yong's novels was real or not. In Jin Yong's novels, many characters had magical martial arts that could incapacitate their opponents for a short period of time. However, these martial arts are usually fictional. They are not evolved from real people or moves, but created through the fictional elements of martial arts novels. The plots and scenes in Jin Yong's novels were usually fictional. For example, some scenes were created based on historical events or geographical features but were given new storylines throughout the novel. Therefore, these plots and scenes could not be regarded as real. Although the martial arts and plots in Jin Yong's novels were of high literary value, they did not really exist.

The decline of martial arts in Jin Yong's martial arts novels was usually due to the following reasons: 1. Progress in technology: In Jin Yong's novels, many martial arts were based on magic or mysterious technology. With the development of science and technology, these magic or mysterious technologies gradually became ordinary and no longer mysterious, and martial arts gradually declined. 2. Competition in Jianghu: In Jin Yong's novels, Jianghu was a place full of competition. All kinds of sects, gangs, and Jianghu heroes were fighting for resources and status. If the martial arts of a sect or sect gradually declined, they might be eliminated and be surpassed by other sects or sects, and their martial arts would also gradually decline. 3. The growth of the protagonist: In Jin Yong's novels, the protagonist usually has a unique growth experience and skills. These skills and experiences can help the protagonist gradually improve his martial arts level. As the protagonist gradually grew up, his martial arts level would also gradually improve, leading his team and sect to gradually become stronger. If the martial arts of a sect or sect gradually declined, the protagonist might choose to learn new martial arts or use the martial arts of other sects or sects, causing the martial arts of the entire sect or sect to gradually decline. 4. Enemies 'Enhancement: The enemies in Jin Yong's novels usually have unique martial arts and skills. These enemies' martial arts and skills may be more powerful than the martial arts of sects or gangs. When the enemy's strength gradually increased, the martial arts of the sect or gang would also gradually decline. Instead of spending time and energy to cultivate and improve martial arts, it was better to train and improve one's own strength to deal with stronger enemies.
