Which novel of Jin Yong best expresses the traditional culture of China?

When I first started reading Jin Yong's novels, I was also attracted by its ups and downs and magical martial arts world. But after watching the trilogy (The Legend of the Condor Heroes, The Condor Heroes and the Dragon Slayer), I began to be conquered by Jin Yong's literary talent and Jin Yong's description of traditional China people and China concepts. After I read Eight Dragons and the legendary swordsman, I became fascinated, because the books contained various values and worldviews about Yi, Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, and the conflicts caused by these different ideas. Jin Yong's books include Yi-ology, meridians and acupoints, China's traditional arithmetic, medicine, calligraphy, music, diet, mountains and rivers, places of interest, legends and so on. The description of the scenery of the five mountains in the legendary swordsman, the allusion of the classic idiom "Take advantage of the dragon's son-in-law", the legend of the Buddha spreading the law to China ... the legend of Taoist Zhenwu life in "Eternal Dragon Slayer"; There are countless famous mountains and rivers involved in the novel, such as Wudang Mountain, Wuyue Mountain, Kunlun Mountain, Emei Mountain, Qingcheng Mountain, Yandang Mountain, Changbai Mountain, Zhong Nanshan, Yangtze River, Yellow River, Hanshui River and Qiantang River. There is also the description of diet, arithmetic and Yi-ology in The Legend of the Condor Heroes, which makes people have an impulse to explore China's broad culture! Earlier, someone practiced the dishes in Jin Yong's works into a A Jin night banquet, which was also well received! This should be a rare elegant thing in the literary world ~! The emotional stories in Jin Yong's books are also quite attractive, but the superficial description of love and affection actually permeates the thought of traditional feudal ethics, and also reflects the conflict between China's traditional Confucian moral thought and the changes of the times and political ideals. For example, the humorous "Monks marry nuns, Buddhists blame each other", and the marriage of master and apprentice, boasting that generations have become sworn brothers, are all satires on traditional ethics. Among them, the descriptions of hermits and martial arts schools metaphor the political struggles of different interest groups and different historical and cultural views, such as "there is no way to win, there is a way to win", "unify the rivers and lakes for generations", "the enemy is strong and I am weak" and so on, even including primitive Confucian educational thoughts such as "applying what I have learned" ... How rich is this? I can't even read or learn. Think about it, including ancient poems, paintings, ancient music legends, ancient chess scores and so on. It can be seen how extensive Jin Yong's knowledge of China history and folklore is. ! Although literary works have elements of processing and artistry, their description style and handling techniques are permeated with the beauty and accuracy of China's language and literature! Reading Jin Yong's novels, its plot structure, language charm, character setting and scene description are not inferior to A Dream of Red Mansions! Jin Yong is unique in the arrangement of characters' appearance, and is ingenious in depicting characters' personality, appearance and dress from nuances! Jin Yong's works, like A Dream of Red Mansions, are deeply branded with China's traditional aesthetics from plot arrangement, scene design, characters and dialogue. The description of pushing and shaking the lens is a brilliant skill in literature. Jin Yong often lets a character show his or her appearance, clothes, manners, etc. When he (she) enters the stage, let the readers judge him first, and then reveal his identity, status and influence with the reaction of others. This three-dimensional description is beyond the reach of profound literary accomplishment. There is also China's traditional vernacular, which is an authentic China language, and its style is very similar to A Dream of Red Mansions. If it is simple and smooth, vivid and close to people's lives, it seems simple and clumsy, but in fact, it is easy to lift weights and has the unique artistic beauty of China traditional language. Among them, the lack of form gives readers a lot of room for imagination and restoration of artistic image. In Jin Yong's novels, there are sometimes hundreds of people in a scene, sometimes it is quiet and unique, and even the responses in different places and seasons are so accurate and vivid. How many places of interest are there? If the work is vulgar and popular, how can it have such an effect? How can a number of places such as Peach Blossom Island, Mongolian Desert and Dali in Yunnan be deeply rooted in people's hearts because of Jin Yong? Forget it, it is not an exaggeration to write hundreds of thousands of words to appreciate Jin Yong's novels, but I am sure that one day, Jin Yong's novel research will be as prosperous as the literary research of A Dream of Red Mansions! Perhaps, just like Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Jin Yong's novels will make people argue from generation to generation, and let his novels continue to spread the classic and authentic China traditional culture in the debate!
