In a short span of time, I read and wrote comments and notes on a book, resulting in two publications: ""Baptism: The Ideological World in Jin Yong's Martial Arts Novels"" and ""Literary Archaeology: The 'Hidden Structure' in Jin Yong's Martial Arts Novels"". The first book clarifies important concepts in Jin Yong's martial arts novels, providing readers with a systematic understanding of his thoughts and key concepts. It also addresses the current state of chaotic Jin Yong research. The second book unravels the mysteries of Jin Yong's creative process and explores the interaction between his martial arts novels and Chinese and foreign literature. Both books have been well received and quickly sold out upon release. They have now been combined into one volume, with minor revisions and the addition of a general discussion at the beginning to serve as a guide in this exploration of Jin Yong's work.

These philosophers engaged in fierce debates while also finding common ground, leading to the establishment of a trend of comprehensive innovation in Chinese thought.
