Why did Jin Yong's martial arts appear after the Song Dynasty?

The reason why Jin Yong's martial arts novels were regarded as one of the most representative literary works was that they depicted a world full of chivalry and justice, including many classic characters and plots. However, the Song Dynasty in history was not a dynasty that only had martial arts novels. Song Dynasty was an important dynasty in Chinese history. It was one of the most prosperous periods in the fields of economy, culture, science and technology in Chinese history, and also one of the peaks of Chinese feudal society. The Song Dynasty had outstanding achievements in science, technology, culture, art, politics, and other fields. For example, the Song Dynasty's poetry, painting, calligraphy, and other art forms had reached a very high level. The political system of the Song Dynasty was also an important turning point in Chinese history. The Song Dynasty implemented the "three redundant" policy in politics, namely, redundant officials, redundant soldiers, and redundant expenses, which led to the low efficiency of government agencies and increased the burden on the people. However, the Song Dynasty still made great achievements in the development of culture, economy, science and technology, which also provided rich materials and background for Jin Yong's martial arts novels. Therefore, although the Song Dynasty in Jin Yong's martial arts novels was a fictional Jianghu world, it reflected the achievements of the Song Dynasty in the fields of culture, economy, politics, etc., and also provided a window for people to imagine and explore history, culture, and reality.

Jin Yong's martial arts novels were ranked according to dynasties. The following is the order of several dynasties: 1 Ming Dynasty 2 Yuan 3 Qing Dynasty In these dynasties, Jin Yong's wuxia novels were generally written in the middle or late stages of these dynasties. The Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty were the two most famous periods for Jin Yong's martial arts novels, and they were also the two periods where Mr. Jin Yong wrote the most.

Jin Yong's martial arts are mostly from the Song Dynasty because the Song Dynasty valued literature over martial arts. I think this is quite good. Most of the martial arts novels written by Mr. Jin Yong, such as The Legend of the Condor Heroes, The Return of the Condor Heroes, The Eight Dragons, The Smiling Proud Jianghu, and The Deer and Cauldron, took place during the Song Dynasty. This was because the Song Dynasty was the golden age of China's feudal society, and it was also the era when Mr. Jin Yong lived. Therefore, many plots in the novel were related to his experiences. The Song Dynasty's policy of valuing literature and despising martial arts made the status of generals lower and did not enjoy high power and resources. This set a more peaceful and stable social environment for the martial arts characters in Jin Yong's novels and also provided the foundation for the chivalrous spirit in the novels. At the same time, the economic and cultural prosperity of the Song Dynasty also provided rich material and background for the creation of martial arts novels, making the martial arts world in the novel more colorful.

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.

During this period, China's society was stable, the economy was prosperous, and culture developed. Moreover, martial arts had also reached an unprecedented height.

The novels of the Song Dynasty, such as Water Margins and Dream of the Red Chamber, were not only large-scale but also detailed and complicated.
