Why do people write about Wuxia in ancient times?
There were a few reasons why Wuxia novels were set in ancient times: Wuxia topics usually describe a world of martial arts. There are many different forces, sects, gangs, and so on. These forces and sects all had their own goals and interests, so they usually had many conflicts and struggles. In the ancient Jianghu world, it was a relatively closed system. Many sects and forces had their own traditions and rules. These rules often affected their actions and decisions. 2. Wuxia characters usually have martial arts and skills, which need to be mastered and improved through practice and experience. In ancient times, people usually did not have modern technology and medical standards. The prevention and treatment of many diseases could not be guaranteed. Therefore, characters might encounter many difficulties and challenges in the process of practicing martial arts and skills. In ancient times, chivalrous men usually had their own ideals and beliefs. What they pursued was a kind of spiritual freedom and equality. This kind of spirit and philosophy still existed in modern society, so it was easier to be reflected in the ancient Jianghu world. Writing about Wuxia in ancient times could better show a closed, complex, and conflicted world of Jianghu. At the same time, it could better reflect the spiritual pursuit and beliefs of the Wuxia people.
