What's the difference between the chivalrous spirit of the East and the West?

"There is a folded castle peak on the screen and a clear water on the piano." Every time I read Jin Yong's martial arts novels, I seem to have such an extraordinary artistic conception. And I am not only deeply attracted by its twists and turns, but also deeply realized that there is a spirit in these martial arts novels, which is the unique martial arts spirit of our Chinese nation.

The so-called chivalrous spirit has a wide meaning: sometimes, it gives people a very self-centered feeling, which embodies a free feeling of "not seeking fame, not seeking crown, not being imprisoned by the world of mortals". This is like the chivalrous man in Jin Yong's works, who is cynical and broad-minded. Live a carefree and quiet life. Or upright and heroic. This is the swordsman's wine of my life, the legendary swordsman. This is not the whole spirit of Wushu. Sometimes, it expresses a nation's tenacious belief. The most representative is Guo Jing, the hero of Jin Yong's works. He defended Xiangyang against foreign aggression until his death. And this is the second side of the spirit of martial arts: noble patriotic sentiments and unyielding resolute national integrity.

The core of martial arts spirit is loyalty. According to the traditional concept of scholars, this spirit is undoubtedly sacred and beautiful, and it is also something "deep in China culture". However, they can't see that the other side of history caused by this is so tragic and cruel, helpless and tragic.
