Why were most of Jin Yong's novels after the Song Dynasty?

The main plots and characters of Jin Yong's novels all took place in the Song Dynasty, including The Legend of the Condor Heroes, The Return of the Condor Heroes, The Eight Dragons and Dragons, The Swordsman, The Sword of Green Blood, and The Deer and Cauldron. In these novels, the Song Dynasty was a prosperous and stable dynasty, but there were also some complicated political and social structures. Through fictional stories, Mr. Jin Yong presented some characters and events during the Song Dynasty, while also expressing his thoughts and discussions on traditional culture and values.

Jin Yong's martial arts novel, Book and Sword, began in 1127 during the Renzong period of the Northern Song Dynasty, while Jin Yong's martial arts novel, The Couple of the Condor Heroes, began in 1260 during the Xiaozong period of the Southern Song Dynasty. These novels spanned the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties, reflecting the political, economic and cultural changes in Chinese history, as well as the social style and people's thoughts and feelings at that time. During the Song Dynasty, the economy was prosperous and the culture was prosperous, but the politics were corrupt and the society was in turmoil. In the Southern Song Dynasty, although the economy developed, politics became more corrupt and society became more unstable. This historical background was also reflected in the martial arts novels created by Mr. Jin Yong. In addition, Mr. Jin Yong's novels often involved political, military, sect, Jianghu and other factors. These elements had changed and evolved during the Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty, which was also the reason why Mr. Jin Yong's novels had historical backgrounds. Jin Yong's wuxia novels appeared after the Song Dynasty because they reflected the historical and cultural changes at that time, as well as the development of Chinese wuxia novels.

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.

The historical background of Jin Yong's martial arts novels was mostly set after the Song Dynasty because of the following reasons: The Song Dynasty was an important period for the development of Chinese novels. The achievements of the Song Dynasty novels not only surpassed the Tang Dynasty, but also had a big gap with the novels of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. 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. They became classics in the history of Chinese literature. Therefore, Mr. Jin Yong's novels were also influenced by the novels of the Song Dynasty and set his works after the Song Dynasty.

All these conditions provided rich material and background for Jin Yong's novel creation. Mr. Jin Yong's works have regional characteristics and historical background. Mr. Jin Yong's novel mainly described the Jianghu world in the mainland of China, so its historical background was mainly set in the mainland of China.

This change also provided a richer historical background and material for Mr. Jin Yong's novels.
