Why are most martial arts novels written by Jin Yong?

It's not that most martial arts novels come from Jin Yong, but that Jin Yong's novels are the most film-and-television. Every two or three years, a new version of Jin Yong's martial arts drama will be broadcast on TV.

No matter whether it is filmed well or not, it will ensure the social heat and attention as soon as it is broadcast. For example, a few years ago, the original "the legendary swordsman" was well received, and the ratings were actually very good.

Jin Yong wrote only fifteen martial arts novels in his life. The legendary swordsman, Eight Dragons, The Condor Trilogy and The Duke Of Mount Deer are the pinnacles of martial arts novels.

These works are also the most favored by film and television organizations. In the case of annual broadcast, it is difficult for the audience to forget Jin Yong. Gu Long's novels are also frequently made into movies, so whenever martial arts novels are mentioned, people who mention them are Jinlong.

Liang Yusheng is also a martial arts expert, and his novels, movies and TV shows are not so frequent, so people's cognition of him is a little weak.

China's martial arts novels have a long history. The origins of modern martial arts novels should be Buxiaosheng's Biography of the Wonders of the Jianghu in Pingjiang and Zhu Huan's Biography of the Swordsman in Shushan, and then they changed in Wang Dulu's place.

Few people read Wang Dulu's novels now. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is his masterpiece. This novel has been neglected until Ang Lee filmed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in 2000, which tells the love and hate between Li Mubai, Yu Jiaolong and Luo Xiaohu. Only to find that there are so many martial arts novelists.

In Wang Dulu's works, fighting is not the key point, but emotional entanglement is the most important point.

Liang Yusheng Jinlong, when the new martial arts came out, once again innovated the style of martial arts novels. After their creation, the influence of martial arts novels reached its peak.

Today, martial arts novels have gradually become a niche, and their influence is no longer the dragon of the Golden Age. Therefore, if you don't read books and just watch TV dramas, it is really easy to have the illusion that there is only Jin Gu Yong Long in martial arts novels.
