From the early 1920s to the late 1940s, martial arts novels flourished. According to the incomplete statistics of the Research Materials of Mandarin Duck and Butterfly School edited by Wei Shaochang, there were more than 170 authors and more than 680 works, which were mainly published in Shanghai, Nanjing, Beiping, Tianjin and other places, and were called the Southern School and the Northern School. "No Laughter at Pingjiang" is the most famous martial arts novel of the Southern School, and its "Biography of Wonders in the Jianghu" was all the rage and widely read. Later, the star film company intercepted the footage and adapted it into "Burning Red Lotus Temple", which had a greater impact. The Legend of the Sword and the Chivalrous Man was written in the early 1920s, and is regarded as the pioneer of modern martial arts novels. Some people even think that it is China's first authentic martial arts novel.
