Hua Shan Lun Jian
lIt is a good idea that Mount Hua is deeply infected by the kung-fu novels “Hua Shan Lun Jian” written by Mr. Jin Yong. When asked: why he puts thoughts that practiced swordsmen perform chivalrous(骑士的) actions on Mount Hua, not the Mount Song. He explained with a smile: Mount Song is very lofty, but it doesn't have the taste of the kung-fu novels on the Mount Hua. Mount Hua has drawn much more miraculous power from heaven and earth. If swordsmen want to validate his own ability that he can be the top one in the world, he must get here, the cliffy peak. It is sure that climbing is just a test of not only the Wu Gong but also the will. Only a few persons in many good swordsmen can be famous of climbing to the top of hill around the romantic world of swordsmen . No other than the Mount Hua with its features can match such spirit of heroes.
