Why did martial arts gradually decline in Jin Yong's martial arts novels?

The martial arts in Jin Yong's wuxia novels usually declined over time because many martial arts were based on the traditional techniques and philosophical ideas in ancient wuxia novels, which may have changed in different historical backgrounds. In Jin Yong's novels, many martial arts relied on high-intensity training and continuous practice. During these training and practice, they might encounter various restrictions and challenges, making it difficult to continuously improve their martial arts. In addition, with the change of times and society, people's values and aesthetics would also change, resulting in people's understanding of martial arts being different. Therefore, the way and method of practicing martial arts would also change, leading to the decline of martial arts. The martial arts in Jin Yong's novels could also be affected by external factors such as political turmoil, economic decline, the outbreak of war, and so on. These factors could lead to increased competition in the martial arts world and lead to the decline of martial arts. There were many reasons for the gradual decline of martial arts in Jin Yong's novels, including the comprehensive influence of historical, social, human thinking and other factors.

This question involved many different plots and settings in Jin Yong's martial arts novels. However, generally speaking, the reasons why martial arts would gradually decline with the passage of time were as follows: 1. Progress in technology: In Jin Yong's novels, all kinds of martial arts were developed based on special technology or magic.

As time passed, many people might be unable to continue this arduous cultivation method due to life pressure or other reasons, resulting in the deterioration of martial arts. 3. Enemies 'improvement: In Jin Yong's novels, all kinds of enemies would constantly improve their skills and weapons to better protect themselves and their families. The improvements made by these enemies might weaken the martial arts of the martial artists, making them easier to defeat.  4. Changes in society: In Jin Yong's novels, different social periods have different cultures and ideas. As time goes by, social changes may lead to changes in people's values and beliefs, which may affect the practicality of martial arts.

However, there were different opinions on whether the kung fu in Jin Yong's novels was real or not. In Jin Yong's novels, many characters had magical martial arts that could incapacitate their opponents for a short period of time. However, these martial arts are usually fictional. They are not evolved from real people or moves, but created through the fictional elements of martial arts novels. The plots and scenes in Jin Yong's novels were usually fictional.
