Jin Yong and the other martial arts novels had the supernatural powers of the Eastern Evil, Western Poison, Southern Emperor, and Northern Beggar. It could be seen that the Song Dynasty was full of heroes, so why was the Song Dynasty so weak?
In martial arts novels such as Jin Yong's, the supernatural powers of the Eastern Evil, Western Poison, Southern Emperor, and Northern Beggar were fictional, while the Song Dynasty was real. Although the novel depicted the Song Dynasty as a hero, in reality, the Song Dynasty's economy, politics, and culture had undergone many changes and challenges, making its decline a concrete reason. The following are some possible reasons: 1. War and foreign invasions: The Song Dynasty suffered from foreign invasions many times, such as Liao, Jin, Xixia, etc. These wars weakened the strength of the country and caused the military and financial situation to deteriorate. 2. Internal political corruption: The political system of the Song Dynasty was very complicated, and the corruption of officials was very serious, which made the efficiency of national governance extremely low, and it was impossible to effectively deal with external and internal problems. 3. economic decline: the Song Dynasty's economy was relatively lagging behind, the development of the commodity economy was slow, and the monetary system was unstable, which led to the lack of economic vitality to meet the growing needs of the country. 4. National integration and cultural exchange: The Song Dynasty was a period of cultural prosperity, but due to political corruption and the restrictions of national integration, cultural variety was not fully developed, which may have weakened the strength of the country to a certain extent. Although the Song Dynasty was full of heroes, in reality, it faced many factors that made it gradually decline.
The Eastern Evil, Western Poison, Southern Emperor, and Northern Beggar mentioned in Jin Yong's novels, which regions were they referring to?
In Mr. Jin Yong's novel, there was no specific indication of the areas represented by the characters such as Dongxie, Xidu, Nandi, and Beigui. The settings and backgrounds of these characters were mostly based on historical and cultural elements rather than the geographical settings of the novel plot. However, the locations of these characters were described and hinted at in some of the plots in the novel. For example, the East China Sea where the Eastern Evil Medicine Master Huang lived was a water country in the south of the Yangtze River; Western Poison Ouyang Feng came from the Western Region and lived in the Western Region where Ouyang Ke lived; South Emperor Nanhua Fairy was a Taoist Southern Immortal who lived in seclusion in Mount Wuyi in Fujian; and Northern Beggar Hong Qigong was born a beggar and lived in the Beggar's Sect in the Central Plains. Therefore, we can infer that the areas represented by these characters may be based on some elements in the plot and the background of the characters rather than specific and clear instructions.
Which of the four famous novels was Eastern Evil, Western Poison, Southern Emperor, and Northern Beggar?

Why is the highest level of martial arts attainments in Jin Yong's novels in the Northern Song Dynasty?
The highest level of martial arts attainments in Jin Yong's novels was in the Northern Song Dynasty, mainly because the Northern Song Dynasty was one of the peak periods of China's feudal society, and it was also the time background of Jin Yong's novels. During this period, China's society was stable, the economy was prosperous, and culture developed. Moreover, martial arts had also reached an unprecedented height.

Have you recommended any novels about the young Eastern Evil, Western Poison, Southern Emperor, and Northern Beggar?
I recommend the novel "The Great Wuxia Adventure Begins from Eastern Evil and Western Poison". It mainly tells the story of a young Wuxia master who accidentally transmigrated to an infinite world while he was desperately looking for his way out. In this world, he could see some familiar Jianghu characters, such as Eastern Evil, Western Poison, South Emperor, North Beggar, and so on. This novel mainly told the story of the martial arts world. It used some modern thinking to give these classic characters a new life and show an unusual spiritual world. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗
Which works of Gan Bao in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and Liu Yi in the Southern Song Dynasty were related to the supernatural novels and human novels in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties?
Please recommend a martial arts novel with the main characters of Eastern Evil Duan Yu, Southern Emperor You Tanzhi, Western Poison Qiao Feng, and Northern Beggar.
The traditional wuxia novel, Water Is Not Against, met the requirements. The main character was Duan Yu of the East Evil, and the South Deity You Tanzhi, the West Poison Qiao Feng, and the North Beggar Wei Xiaobao also appeared. I recommend you to play "Water Has Not Reversal". The plot is magnificent and full of grudges and grudges. It will let you enter a colorful world of martial arts. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗
Do you want to know the background of the characters of Eastern Evil and Western Poison, South Deity and Northern Beggar, and the supernatural powers?
Why are there so few historical novels in the Western Jin, Eastern Jin, and Southern and Northern Dynasties? Is it a forbidden area?
There were few historical novels in the Western Jin, Eastern Jin, and Southern and Northern Dynasties mainly because the political turmoil and wars in this period of history brought many restrictions and challenges to literary creation. In addition, the social changes and historical events in this period of history were relatively complicated, which also put forward higher requirements for the creation of novels. Therefore, there were relatively few historical novels in the Western Jin, Eastern Jin, and Southern and Northern Dynasties, but they were not forbidden. Some excellent historical novels were still created, such as Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Why did Jin Yong's martial arts appear after the Song Dynasty?
Jin Yong's martial arts novel, Book and Sword, began in 1127 during the Renzong period of the Northern Song Dynasty, while Jin Yong's martial arts novel, The Couple of the Condor Heroes, began in 1260 during the Xiaozong period of the Southern Song Dynasty. These novels spanned the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties, reflecting the political, economic and cultural changes in Chinese history, as well as the social style and people's thoughts and feelings at that time. During the Song Dynasty, the economy was prosperous and the culture was prosperous, but the politics were corrupt and the society was in turmoil. In the Southern Song Dynasty, although the economy developed, politics became more corrupt and society became more unstable. This historical background was also reflected in the martial arts novels created by Mr. Jin Yong. In addition, Mr. Jin Yong's novels often involved political, military, sect, Jianghu and other factors. These elements had changed and evolved during the Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty, which was also the reason why Mr. Jin Yong's novels had historical backgrounds. Jin Yong's wuxia novels appeared after the Song Dynasty because they reflected the historical and cultural changes at that time, as well as the development of Chinese wuxia novels.
