Many of the sects that appeared in Jin Yong's novels were fictional and had nothing to do with the real world. Although the names and characters of these sects might exist in reality, their specific locations, scale, organizational structure, inheritance, and other details were all fictional. Therefore, regarding the sects in novels such as the Qingcheng Monastery, we are unable to determine whether they really exist, nor can we investigate their history and inheritance in detail.
The Quan Zhen Sect that was written by Mr. Jin Yong did exist in history. It was a branch of Chinese Taoism. It was founded during the Qing Li period of Emperor Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty (1041 - 1048 AD). The founder was Wang Chongyang. The core of Quan Zhen Sect's teachings was 'Dao' and 'Virtue'. It emphasized the practicality and personal understanding of cultivation and was regarded as one of the most Confucian schools of Taoism. Quan Zhen Sect had a profound influence in Chinese history, not only in novels and movies, but also in reality. For example, Quan Zhen Sect had a wide influence in the Chinese martial arts world. Their teachings and cultivation methods were also widely passed down and disseminated.
The Beggar Sect in Jin Yong's martial arts novels had existed in history. Beggar's Sect was a traditional sect in China's history. It had developed for hundreds of years since the Ming Dynasty. Beggar's Sect had different factions and rules, but the biggest feature was that it had a large number of people, members were scattered, and it was a free sect, so it was called "Beggar". In Jin Yong's novels, Beggar's Sect was described as a righteous gang that helped the poor people fight for justice. In reality, although Beggar's Sect was not as mysterious as described in the novel, it was still a force that could not be ignored in Chinese society and had made important contributions to China's social stability and development.
The Eight Great Sects, Hengshan Sect, Huashan Sect, and other novel characters were all created by Mr. Jin Yong. Mr. Jin Yong is a famous Chinese martial arts novel. His works have been translated into many languages and have a wide readership around the world. In Jin Yong's novels, there are many fictional martial arts sects and characters, which have become an important part of Chinese culture.
Zhang Sanfeng, the founder of the Wudang Sect in Jin Yong's novel, did not exist in history. Zhang Sanfeng was a character in a Wuxia novel created by Jin Yong. He was a legendary martial arts figure who founded the Wudang Sect. However, according to historical records, Zhang Sanfeng lived in the Ming Dynasty. His real name was Zhang Cuishan, a famous martial artist, Taoist priest, and politician in the late Ming Dynasty. He was not the Zhang Sanfeng described in Jin Yong's novels, so there was a big discrepancy between Jin Yong's novels and historical records.
The Kunlun Sect and Kungfu are fictional Wuxia novels. The elements of these novels originated from the creation of China Wuxia novels. The Kunlun Sect was a martial arts sect that originated from the Ming Dynasty. Its founder was Gao Lingxiao. His kung fu was known for its speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness. The Kunlun Sect was often depicted in wuxia novels as a mysterious and powerful martial arts sect. However, the Kunlun Sect did not exist in real life. It only existed in fictional martial arts novels.
Wudang Sect, Shaolin Sect, Huashan Sect, and Xiaoyao Sect were fictional sects in Jin Yong's novels, but they did not exist in reality. The names of these sects came from Mr. Jin Yong's creation, which represented some characters and plots in the novel. In the novels, these sects usually had a long history and rich martial arts heritage, and often had complicated conflicts and cooperative relationships with other sects.
Some of the sects that Jin Yong wrote were righteous in reality but were written as evil. One example was the Huashan Sect. The Huashan Sect was described as a traditional orthodox sect in Jin Yong's novels, but the Huashan Sect leader and disciples in the novels often used sorcery to show their evil tendencies. In addition, the Wudang Sect and Shaolin Temple in Jin Yong's novels were also written as evil sects. The actions and remarks of the villains in these novels were often difficult to understand.
In Jin Yong's novels, the first sect was usually the most powerful sect in the martial arts world. It was called the Huashan Sect. The Huashan Sect originated from the Ming Dynasty. Its founder was the famous swordsman Yue Buqun. Its teachings were based on the "Qi Sect" and emphasized the cultivation of internal strength and sword techniques. It was one of the most famous sects in Jin Yong's novels. In the novel, the Huashan Sect had many masters such as Linghu Chong, Ren Yingying, and other disciples who enjoyed a high reputation in the martial arts world, which had an important impact on the development of the martial arts world.
In Jin Yong's novels, the first sect was usually the strongest sect in the martial arts world, so it was impossible to determine which sect was the first sect. The number one sect in different novels might be different. For example, the Xiaoyao Sect was the most powerful sect in the martial arts world in Tianlong Babu, while the Huashan Sect was the most powerful sect in the martial arts world in Deer and Cauldron. Therefore, the number one sect in Jin Yong's novels might vary from novel to novel.
