Features: After writing many martial arts novels, I found myself in a state of confusion. No matter how powerful the protagonists were, like Zhang Sanfeng, or how righteous, like Guo Jing, they couldn’t truly change history. To save the people, one still relied on political power. But politics is like a kaleidoscope. Under autocratic rule, the fate of the people depended on luck—good luck might bring them a ruler like Kangxi, while bad luck could lead them to Chongzhen. Chinese history passed through two thousand years in this blind collision. This book mainly reviews and explains the major martial arts in each novel. When Jin Yong’s martial arts novels were at their peak on CCTV screens, countless fans picked up the complete works of Jin Yong with a nostalgic yet enlightening attitude. What does "complete works" mean? How vast! How can all the legends and tales be understood in one volume? How can the vastness of the past be fully grasped? How many twists and turns has the Celestial Masters’ Heaven Pivot had? How majestic is the One-Yang Finger of Dali? The Dragon Subduing Palm, "using the opponent’s own way against them," and the Great Qiankun Shift—how are they understood? Snow flying across the sky—what does the title mean? The seven major sects—how many secrets do they hold?
