Please recommend Jin Yong's martial arts novels

Hopefully, it was his more mature style.
Don't have too much to do with the dynasty and the government at that time.
I've only seen Smiling Proud in the Pugilistic World, and I like it very much!
(By the way, if it's a book by the Ancient Dragon, you can recommend it as well. I'll give you extra points.)
Thank you.

Answer 1

Jin Yong was the most outstanding Chinese martial arts novel. His works were famous for their twists and turns in the plot, profound character descriptions, and beautiful writing style. The following are a few highly acclaimed martial arts novels by Jin Yong for your reference:

" Eight Heavenly Dragons ": It tells the story of the fight between the various sects in the martial arts world during the Northern Song Dynasty for the Heavenly Dragon Saber, the Nine Yang Scripture, and the Tianshan Plum Breaker. The Jianghu experiences and emotional entanglements of the protagonists, Duan Yu, Xu Zhu, Murong Fu, and others, were memorable.

The Legend of the Condor Heroes: It tells the story of Guo Jing, Huang Rong and others who fought against the Jin Dynasty to save the country during the Southern Song Dynasty. The novel not only contained wonderful Jianghu struggles but also an in-depth discussion of Chinese traditional culture and moral values.

3. The Deer and the Cauldron: It tells the story of Wei Xiaobao's wit and agility in the Jianghu at the end of the Ming Dynasty. The grudges, political struggles, and insight into human nature described in the novel were thought-provoking.

4.<< Smiling Proud in Jianghu >>: It was a story about the Huashan Sect, which was the main sect, fighting for the position in Jianghu. The characters in the novel were full, and the plot was full of ups and downs. The discussion of martial arts ethics and martial arts rules was also quite deep.

5. Book and Sword: A Record of Gratitude and Revenge. It described the grievances between the Five Mountains Sword Sect and the Jianghu people during the Qing Dynasty. The novel not only contained the fierce Jianghu struggle, but also the reflection of Chinese traditional culture and history.
