In 1994, Zha Liangyong returned to his hometown to participate in the 90th anniversary celebration of Jiaxing No. 1 Middle School and built the "Jin Yong Library" in Jiaxing High School. After the completion of the library, another 14 million yuan was spent to build the "Yunsong Library" in West Lake, which was used for personal book collection, writing, and gathering with literary friends.

In the autumn of 1996, when the "Yunsong Library" was completed, Zha Liangyong changed his original intention and resolutely donated a huge amount of money to build the library, which has now become a new tourist attraction in Hangzhou, containing Jin Yong's works and handwriting exhibition room.

When Jin Yong and Liang Yusheng made an appointment for martial arts novels, they thought about the issue of pen names. Later, he decided to split the character "Yong" in his name into two (also mentioned in Jin Yong's "Jin Yong's Prose" published in 2007). Become "Jin Yong". This became his pen name.

Jin Yong's works are mainly novels. It also has political commentaries, essays, etc. From 1955's "Book of Swords and Enmity" to 1972's "The Legend of the Deer and Ding", he wrote a total of 15 novels, medium and short stories.

Novels have a craze almost every decade. The earliest Jin Yong fever began in Hong Kong and Macao, then spread to Taiwan, and then caused an impact in Chinese mainland. It can be said that Jin Yong's craze burned to the entire Chinese-speaking circle.

In recent years, Jin Yong's works have also been translated into Japanese and other languages. The craze is sweeping East Asia.

There is often a relationship between Jin Yong's novels. In addition to the Eagle Shooting Trilogy, Tianlong Babu and Xiaoao Jianghu, the Blue Blood Sword and the Deer Ding Ji, the Book of Swords and Enmity and the Flying Fox Gaiden are all related.

Jin Yong once combined the first words of the titles of 14 of the 15 novels he created into a couplet: Flying snow shoots white deer in the sky. The laughing book god leans on the blue duck. 1970's "The Sword of the Yue Woman" is not included in the couplet.

The work was first serialized in Ming Pao Hong Kong, and was well received by readers, and after being published in a single line by the author, it was widely circulated in the Chinese-speaking community, especially the long-form works.

A large number of his works have been adapted into TV series and movies by film and television groups in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Chinese mainland and other places.

Chen Shixiang once said: "Jin Yong's martial arts novels can be compared with the sudden rise of Yuan opera. It is not only a genius, but also a matter of fortune. The difference is only one person in this world. 」

In addition to integrating common styles such as martial arts, qigong, suspense, romance, and history, Jin Yong's several mature martial arts works also add a lot of ancient literature and art, as well as intellectual elements such as astronomy and geography.

In his novels, he created a new image of martial arts, breaking the traditional model that the protagonist must be handsome, smart and upright, and also showing his negative attitude towards racial vendetta. Therefore, Jin Yong has been called "the great man of chivalry" by some commentators.

Jin Yong once wrote essays with Liang Yusheng and the master of the Hundred Swords Hall in the column of "Ta Kung Pao". In addition, he has written editorials for Ming Pao for more than 20 years, and has been known as "writing editorials with the left hand and novels with the right hand". Notable political commentaries include the "trouser core theory" mentioned above, the pen war with Ta Kung Pao, and many current political commentaries during the Cultural Revolution.

Due to the popularity of Jin Yong's novels, many writers have written their thoughts and book reviews, and Ni Kuang is the first person to really "study" Jin Yong's novels.

Ni Kuang came up with the term "Jinxue". However, Jin Yong himself was a little resistant to this name, thinking that Gao Pan was suspected of studying the red science of "Dream of Red Mansions". Now most of them are collectively referred to as "Jin Yong's Novel Studies".

When Taiwan's Vision Publishing House obtained the copyright of Jin Yong's novels, with the lifting of martial law in Taiwan, Jin Yong's novels, which had always been recognized as banned books, were published. In 1980, Envision Publishing published a series of "Gold Studies Series" edited by Shen Dengen.

Ng Oi-yee, then the Governor of Ming Pao and a former member of the Hong Kong Legislative Council, also wrote "The Man in Jin Yong's Novels", "Jin Yong's Novels Look at Life", "The Woman in Jin Yong's Novels" and "The Love of Jin Yong's Novels", and Yang Xing'an's "Jin Yong's Writing in the World".

When Jin Yong's novels were officially authorized to be published in Chinese mainland, the "Jin Yong Novel Study" became more lively, in addition to the novel's content, characters, historical background, martial arts moves and food recipes.

Comparing the differences between different versions is the focus of the research. At present, Chen Mo and Pan Guosen still often comment on Jin Yong's novels.

The fourth Huashan sword: Shaanxi TV's "Open Altar" column invited Jin Yong to Huashan in 2003 to participate in the "Huashan on the sword" activity, the main venue is located in the north peak of Huashan, with an altitude of 1561 meters, in addition to Jin Yong, the host and guests, there are more than a dozen netizens.

Jin Yong, Peking University professor Yan Jiayan, "Bashu ghost talent" Wei Minglun, "martial arts director" Zhang Jizhong, screenwriter Yang Zhengguang, and "Peking University drunken man" Kong Qingdong sat here and discussed swords. (To be continued......)
