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.

This book examines the societal challenges and the erosion of Chinese tradition during the 20th century. These factors have left people feeling lost and disoriented. Jin Yong's martial arts novels, with their depiction of martial arts prowess and the revival of the "rivers and lakes" culture, serve as a historical reconstruction and a return to tradition. They have become a source of cultural imagination for Chinese individuals worldwide and spiritual refugees. This book contextualizes Jin Yong's martial arts novels within the literary trends and creative landscape since the May Fourth Movement. It focuses on analyzing the key concepts within these novels to provide a comprehensive interpretation of Jin Yong's literary world. By doing so, it aims to shed light on Jin Yong's creative intentions, restore his rightful place in literary history, and offer a deep understanding of his martial arts novels.
