The reason why Jin Yong's works were always anti-Qing and reviving the Ming Dynasty was that this historical background was an important starting point and one of the sources of inspiration for Jin Yong's creative career. Mr. Jin Yong was born in 1896, when China was under the rule of Qing Dynasty. When he was young, he witnessed the corruption and ruling style of the Qing Dynasty and developed a deep disgust for the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, in his works, he often depicted the theme of anti-Qing and reviving the Ming Dynasty to express his dissatisfaction and resistance against the Qing Dynasty. Jin Yong's works were also influenced by traditional Chinese culture. The Qing Dynasty was the last period of China's feudal society. There were many elements related to the Qing Dynasty in traditional culture, such as Confucianism and chivalrous spirit, which were also used in Jin Yong's works. In Jin Yong's works, he often depicted chivalrous spirit and a sense of justice, emphasizing that people should resist injustice and evil, which was similar to the values in traditional Chinese culture. In addition, Jin Yong's works were also influenced by Western culture. During the Qing Dynasty, China's contact with the outside world gradually deepened, and Western culture gradually spread to China. Jin Yong's works were also influenced by Western culture, such as the description of concepts such as love, freedom, and power. The combination of these factors also led to the theme of Jin Yong's works.
To write a novel about the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, many factors had to be taken into account, including the historical background, the characters, the plot development, and so on. Here are some suggestions: 1. Historical background: Understand the historical background of the Qing and Ming Dynasties, including political, economic, cultural and other changes, as well as the international relations between the two dynasties. 2.

At the same time, try to avoid too violent and bloody plots to maintain the novel's legibility. 4.

At the same time, the integrity and cohesiveness of the novel should be considered. To write a novel about the anti-Qing dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, one needed sufficient historical knowledge and literary attainments. At the same time, one needed to constantly try and explore. I hope these suggestions can be helpful.
Mr. Jin Yong's novels, such as The Legend of the Condor Heroes, The Condor Heroes, The Eight Dragons and Dragons, and The Smiling Proud Jianghu, all had plots and theme of "rebelling against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty". This was because in the context of China's modern history, the corrupt and incompetent rulers of the Qing Dynasty led to social unrest and people's lives were very difficult. In this context, many Wuxia characters had a strong sense of national consciousness and patriotic feelings, hoping to achieve their mission of justice through the form of "anti-Qing and restoring Ming". "Reversing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty" was also an important theme of Mr. Jin Yong's martial arts novels. He hoped to pass on the traditional Chinese culture and chivalrous spirit through the form of novels, and also hoped to convey positive values and outlook on life to the readers through the plots and characters in the novels.
The reason why the theme of anti-Qing and reviving the Ming Dynasty was so obvious in Jin Yong's works was that Mr. Jin Yong was a descendant of the Ming Dynasty and had deep feelings and nostalgia for the Ming Dynasty. He had personally experienced the fall of the Ming Dynasty and had a deep understanding of this period of history. Therefore, in his novels, he often depicted the theme of anti-Qing and reviving the Ming Dynasty to express his love for the Ming Dynasty and his reverence for Chinese history. In Mr. Jin Yong's novel," The Eight Dragons ", there was an anti-Qing and Ming Restoration organization represented by Duan Yu. They advocated overthrowing the rule of the Qing Dynasty and restoring the regime of the Ming Dynasty. In the novel, Duan Yu and his organization were suppressed by the Qing Dynasty, and their activities were greatly restricted and attacked. This also reflected Mr. Jin Yong's dissatisfaction with the Qing Dynasty and his stance of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty. The hatred between Mr. Jin Yong and the Qing Dynasty stemmed from the history of the Ming Dynasty's demise. The Ming Dynasty was a very important dynasty in Chinese history. It created a new era of Chinese feudal dynasties and had a profound impact on Chinese history and culture. However, the Ming Dynasty encountered internal strife and external aggression at the end of the year and finally perished. Although the Qing Dynasty replaced the Ming Dynasty and carried out large-scale cultural modification and colonial rule, it also restored the respect and nostalgia for the Ming Dynasty to a certain extent. Therefore, Mr. Jin Yong expressed the theme of anti-Qing and reviving the Ming Dynasty in his works, which reflected his love for the Ming Dynasty and his reverence for Chinese history. At the same time, it also reflected his dissatisfaction with the Qing Dynasty and his position of anti-Qing and reviving the Ming Dynasty.
The main reasons why Jin Yong's novels belittled the Ming Dynasty and Chongzhen were as follows: In Jin Yong's novels, the Ming Dynasty was described as a corrupt and incompetent dynasty with internal and external troubles. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, political corruption, military slackness, and frequent natural disasters caused the country's finances to be extremely difficult. The army was unable to resist the invasion of foreign enemies, and various political struggles and divisions appeared within the army. The Ming emperors in Jin Yong's novels were often portrayed as stupid, incompetent, greedy, or cowardly. Emperor Chongzhen was portrayed in Jin Yong's novels as a selfish, cold and cruel ruler. He was afraid that his power would be eroded, so he used various means to cover up his crimes, such as ordering the massacre of cities, arresting and exiling innocent people, and strengthening the surveillance and control of officials. Emperor Chongzhen was also portrayed as someone who cared nothing about the sufferings of the people and only wanted to eliminate his political opponents, so he often took extreme measures. The Ming Dynasty and Chongzhen in Jin Yong's novels are portrayed as negative elements in history, which is in stark contrast to the positive characters in the novel. The positive characters in the novel were usually portrayed as brave, upright, and responsible characters, while the Ming Dynasty and Chongzhen were portrayed as corrupt, internal and external troubles, selfish, and cruel dynasties, forming a sharp contrast with the characters in the novel. The main reason why Jin Yong belittled the Ming Dynasty and Chongzhen in his novels was to enhance the drama and plot tension of the novel. Although this method might cause some misunderstanding and deviation from historical facts, it was understandable in the creation of novels.
There are many possible reasons for the emergence of novels about the restoration of the Ming Dynasty in the Qing Dynasty. 1. Historical background: The Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty were two important dynasties in Chinese history. There was a deep historical connection between them. After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty established and inherited some of the systems and cultures of the Ming Dynasty. The status and influence of the Ming Dynasty in Chinese history also made some changes. 2. Social reality: In contemporary Chinese society, there are some social problems similar to the Ming Dynasty, such as the gap between the rich and the poor, the lack of local autonomy, political corruption, etc. The existence of these social problems also inspired many people who might want to reflect and explore these problems through fictional stories. 3. Literature style: The literary style of Chinese novels has always been influenced by history, politics, and social environment. Some of them are similar to the stories and literary styles of the Ming Dynasty. 4. Historical Misunderstandings: Some readers may have misunderstandings or prejudices about certain historical events and characters. These misunderstandings and prejudices may also inspire them to write stories that correct these misunderstandings and prejudices. It should be pointed out that the creation of fictional novels is free and should not be simply confused with history.

Jin Yong's novels are the classic works of traditional Chinese martial arts novels, which contain rich historical background and cultural content. Sometimes in his novels, he would mention anti-Qing thoughts, but this was not Jin Yong's personal point of view, but reflected the historical and cultural background of the society at that time. In Chinese history, the Qing Dynasty was a dark period. The rulers implemented a series of cruel political and legal measures, which led to social unrest and the suffering of the people. Therefore, many Chinese people expressed their dissatisfaction and opposition to the rule of the Qing Dynasty, which was also reflected in Jin Yong's novels. The anti-Qing ideology in Jin Yong's novels was not aimed at the Qing Dynasty itself, but reflected the Chinese people's dissatisfaction with autocratic rule and oppression, and their pursuit of freedom, equality, and justice. In his novels, he often described the protagonists fighting against evil forces through justice and courage to maintain social justice and freedom. The anti-Qing ideology in Jin Yong's novels was a manifestation of Chinese traditional culture and history, reflecting the Chinese people's pursuit of freedom, equality, and justice, as well as their dissatisfaction with the Qing Dynasty.
Most of the martial arts stories written by Jin Yong took place in the Song Dynasty for the following reasons: The Song Dynasty was one of the most important periods in the history of Chinese martial arts novels. Before this, Wuxia novels had already reached a certain scale, but they were mainly concentrated in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. During the Song Dynasty, literature, painting, music, and other fields all made great progress, and martial arts novels also appeared and became one of the most popular literary forms at that time. The political and social structure of the Song Dynasty was consistent with the image of the chivalrous man in the martial arts novels. The protagonists in wuxia novels usually had a sense of justice and anti-feudalism. The political structure of the Song Dynasty was relatively open, and the social freedom was high, which provided a broader stage for the heroes. 3. The martial arts culture of the Song Dynasty was developed. The Song Dynasty was one of the most prosperous periods of China's martial arts culture. There were many martial arts books, martial arts moves, and martial arts schools. This information also provided rich material for Jin Yong's martial arts novels. The reason why Jin Yong's wuxia stories took place in the Song Dynasty was to better display the characteristics and style of Chinese wuxia culture at that time. At the same time, he hoped to present a real, three-dimensional, and colorful Song Dynasty society for the readers.
