Why are most of Jin Yong's novels set in the Song and Ming Dynasties?
Mr. Jin Yong's novels were mostly set in the Song Dynasty and Ming Dynasty because these two periods were one of the most famous periods in Chinese history. There were rich cultural, historical and literary resources, which also provided a broad background and inspiration for Mr. Jin Yong's creation. The Song Dynasty was one of the peak periods of China's feudal society and one of the periods of cultural prosperity in Chinese history. In the Song Dynasty, the economy was highly developed, and the people's living standards were high. The culture and arts were also very prosperous, such as novels, operas, and other literary works. At the same time, the political system of the Song Dynasty was also one of the most democratic and free systems in Chinese history. The novel also reflected some of the characteristics of the political system of the Song Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty was another important period in China's history. It was the beginning of the budding period of Chinese capitalist society and one of the peak periods of Chinese culture, art and literature. The Ming Dynasty was rich in novels, operas, and other literary works. For example, classic novels such as Water Margins and Dream of the Red Chamber were created during the Ming Dynasty. During the Song and Ming Dynasties, the era that Mr. Jin Yong lived in was also one of the most prosperous periods in Chinese history. These historical backgrounds also provided Mr. Jin Yong's novels with rich plots and materials, allowing him to better display the social, cultural, and historical characteristics of the Song and Ming Dynasties.
