Liang Yusheng, whose real name is Chen, was born in a scholarly family in Mengshan, Guangxi. He wrote poems and lyrics since childhood and received a good traditional education. Liang Yusheng, Jin Yong and Gu Long are also called the three masters of China's martial arts novels, and are regarded as the founders of the new school of martial arts novels. In the 1960s and 1970s, he and Jin Yong jointly raised the banner of the new school of martial arts novels.

Liang Yusheng abandoned the tendency of revenge and bloodthirsty in the martial arts novels of the old school, established chivalry on the basis of justice, dignity and love for the people, and put forward the idea of controlling martial arts with chivalry. Liang Yusheng, a decent man, has written more than 30 excellent martial arts novels, which is the first of the new martial arts novels.

Liang Yusheng's Writing Idea

First of all, Liang Yusheng affirmed the position and value of martial arts novels in literature. He pointed out that as a novel genre, martial arts novels are undoubtedly a wonderful flower in China's literary garden and should be allowed to exist.

Secondly, he believes that martial arts novels must have martial arts and chivalry, martial arts is the means, chivalry is the real purpose, and chivalry is realized by force. Therefore, chivalry is important and martial arts is secondary. One can be completely ignorant of martial arts, but not chivalrous. Thirdly, he believes that to write a good martial arts novel, the author must have a good understanding of history, geography, folk customs and religion in order to expect success.
