Why didn't Jin Yong continue to write the sequels of " Demigods and Semi-Devils "?

Mr. Jin Yong's martial arts novel," Eight Dragons and Eight Demons ", was called " Eight Dragons and Eight Demons " because it involved eight divine skills, namely," Carefree Sect Martial Arts "," Tianshan Plum Breaker Hand "," Sunflower Treasure Book "," Nine Yang Scripture "," Yijin Scripture "," Divine Condor Swordsman Skill ", and " Wave Tiny Steps ". These eight divine kung fu had different characteristics and cultivation methods. Moreover, there were many stories and characters about these divine kung fu in the novel, so it was called "Eight Dragons".

Mr. Jin Yong's Tianlong Ba Bu story took place between the fourth year of Yuanyou in the Northern Song Dynasty (1087) and the fifth year of Shaoxi in the Southern Song Dynasty (1142).

There was a classic question in Jin Yong's novel,"Eight Dragons": Who is Brother Eagle? Brother Diao was Prince Duan's foster son and also Duan Yu's foster father. In the novel, Diao was a kind, open-minded and cheerful character. He and Lord Duan traveled the Jianghu together to help people in need. In the novel, Diao's image was very deep and he was a very important character.

The name of Jin Yong's novel," The Eight Dragons ", came from the classic Chinese literary work," The Eight Dragons ". " Eight Dragons " was one of Mr. Jin Yong's most famous works. It told the story of the great martial arts sects fighting for the divine weapon " Nine Yang Scripture " at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, as well as the growth of the main characters Duan Yu, Xu Zhu, and others. In " Eight Heavenly Dragons "," Eight Heavenly Dragons " was a term with a profound meaning. It referred to eight kinds of immortal level martial arts, namely," Divine Condor Swordsman "," Monk of Jinlun Temple "," Leader of Xiaoyao Sect "," Heavenly Mountain Babu "," Wuyazi "," Duan Yu "," Xuzhu ", etc. These characters and their martial arts played an important role in the novel. The name " Tian Long Ba Bu " originated from the classic Chinese literary work " Tian Long Ba Bu ", and the meaning of this name was related to the eight immortal-level martial arts in the novel.

Mr. Jin Yong did not have the intention to continue writing " Demigods and Semi-Devils." Although Mr. Jin Yong's novel creation was very popular with readers, he did not plan to continue writing "Dragons and Demons" or any other novels. Mr. Jin Yong once said that the purpose of his novels was to express his own ideas and values, not to make money or satisfy the needs of his readers. Therefore, he would not rewrite the novels he had already written for commercial interests, which was one of the reasons why many readers liked his works. Although Mr. Jin Yong has left this world, his novels are still loved by readers and will continue to be discovered and presented in the future.

Tianlong Ba Bu was one of the martial arts novels written by Mr. Jin Yong and was widely regarded as one of the classics of Jin Yong's novels. However, the concept of the peak of martial arts was relatively different. Different people might have different views. In Jin Yong's novels, there were many powerful martial arts sects and martial arts secret manuals, such as the Sunflower Manual, the Nine Yang Sutra, the Yijin Sutra, and so on. These martial arts secret manuals all contained enormous power and ability. Different martial arts sects and secret manuals had their own unique martial arts system and style, so it was difficult to say which secret manual was the highest. There were many powerful martial arts figures in the Heavenly Dragon Eight, such as Duan Yu, Xu Zhu, Murong Fu, Guo Jing, Huang Rong, and so on. Their martial arts abilities were all very powerful. Duan Yu's Northern Dark Divine Power and Tiny Steps on the Ripples were very magical. Xuzhu's Shaolin Monastery secret arts and Xiaoyao Sect martial arts were also very advanced. Murong Fu's martial arts system was very complicated. Guo Jing's Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and Huang Rong's Rong Sect martial arts were also very powerful. Therefore, it was hard to say that the Eight Books of Dragons and Demons was the peak of martial arts in Jin Yong's novels.

The eight characters in Jin Yong's martial arts novel," Duan Yu: The third son of the Emperor of Dali, Duan Zhengchun, is proficient in the martial arts of the Duan family of Dali. He is gentle, kind, and upright. 2. Xuzhu: Shaolin Monastery monks do not have physical bodies but have extremely high martial arts, open-minded and good at resolving disputes. 3. Murong Fu: The successor of the Murong family, who is a revivalist, is good at scheming and plotting at all costs in order to restore the country. 4. Madam Wang: Duan Zhengchun's wife, Duan Yu's mother, was gentle and kind, but also had a selfish side. 5. Zhu: The childhood sweetheart of Princess Duan Yu of Dali Kingdom. She was kind and upright, and she did not hesitate to take risks for Duan Yu. 6. Ding Chunqiu: A master of Taiji Fist.

Mr. Jin Yong's " Tianlong Ba Bu " was one of the famous wuxia novels that was widely read and discussed. However, some people did point out that there were some unreasonable or inaccurate plots in the novel. One of the more famous mistakes was the birth year of Duan Yu and Xu Zhu in the novel. According to the plot of the novel, Duan Yu was born in 1183 and Xuzhu was born in 1160. However, this number did not match the historical year. The year 1183 was the year when the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed and the year 1160 was the year when the Southern Song Dynasty was established. In addition, the age and experience of some characters in the novel did not conform to historical facts. For example, Duan Zhengchun's age in the novel was around 60 years old, but according to historical records, his real age was much younger than this. Although these mistakes wouldn't affect " Tian Long Ba Bu " as a classic martial arts novel, it would be more interesting for some history lovers or readers interested in history to understand these details.

In Jin Yong's martial arts novel," The Eight Demigods," Wang Yuyan's father was the Dali Emperor Duan Zhengchun. Duan Zheng Chun was an emperor of Dali Kingdom and also Duan Yu's biological father. He was a very complicated character in the novel, with a politician's side, but also a money-grubber and a heartless side.

In Jin Yong's " Eight Demigods ", Madam Wang's favorite species was orchids. She came from a Hua family and had a deep interest in orchids. She often planted all kinds of orchids at home. In the novel, Madam Wang's orchids were of excellent quality, not only were they bright in color, but they also had a fresh fragrance. She was known as the "Orchid Goddess." The orchids she planted were often used to symbolize her elegant temperament and noble status.
