Wuxia (simplified Chinese: 武侠; traditional Chinese: 武俠; pinyin: wǔxiá [ùɕjǎ], literally "martial hero") is a broad genre of Chinese fiction concerning the adventures of martial artists. Although wuxia is traditionally a form of literature, its popularity has caused it to spread to diverse art forms like Chinese opera, manhua (Chinese comics), films, television series, and video games. Wuxia is a component of popular culture for many Chinese-speaking communities worldwide.

The word "wuxia" is a compound word composed of the words wu (武), which means "martial", "military", or "armed" and xia (俠), meaning "honorable", "chivalrous", or "hero". A martial artist who follows the code of Xia is often referred to as a xiake (俠客, lit: "follower of xia", "hiệp khách") or youxia (游俠, "wandering xia", "du hiệp"). In some translated works of wuxia, the martial artist is sometimes termed as a "swordsman" although he may not necessarily wield a sword.

Typically, the heroes in Chinese wuxia fiction do not serve a lord, wield military power or belong to the aristocratic class. They are often from the lower social classes of ancient Chinese society. Wuxia heroes are usually bound by a code of chivalry that requires them to right wrongs, especially when the helpless or the poor are oppressed. The wuxia hero fights for righteousness and seeks to remove an oppressor, redress wrongs, or to bring retribution for past misdeeds. The Chinese xia traditions can be contrasted with martial codes from other countries, such as the Japanese samurai's bushido tradition, the chivalry of medieval European knights and the gunslingers of America's Westerns.

Donnie Yen Ji-Dan (born 27 July 1963) is a Hong Kong actor, martial artist, film director and producer, action choreographer, and world wushu tournament medalist. Apart from being a well-known film and television actor in Hong Kong, Yen has also gained international recognition for appearing in many films together with other prominent and internationally-known actors such as Jackie Chan, Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh.

Yen is widely credited by many as the person responsible for popularizing the traditional martial arts style known as Wing Chun. He played the role of Wing Chun grandmaster Ip Man in the 2008 film Ip Man, which was a box office success. This has led to an increase in the number of people taking up Wing Chun, leading to hundreds of new Wing Chun schools to be opened up in mainland China and other parts of Asia.Ip Chun, the eldest son of Ip Man, even mentioned that he is grateful to Yen for making his family art popular and allowing his father's legacy to be remembered.

Yen is considered to be Hong Kong's top action star; director Peter Chan mentioned that he "is the 'it' action person right now" and "has built himself into a bona fide leading man, who happens to be an action star." Yen is widely credited for bringing mixed martial arts (MMA) into the mainstream of Chinese culture, by choreographing MMA in many of his recent films. Yen has displayed notable skills in MMA, being well-versed in boxing, kickboxing, taekwondo, Muay Thai, wrestling, karate, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, Wing Chun, and Wushu. Seen as one of the most popular film stars in Asia in recent years, Yen is currently one of the most highly paid actors in the whole of Asia.

Zhao Min, born Minmin Temür (敏敏特穆儿), titled Princess Shaomin (邵敏郡主), is one of the two female lead characters in Jin Yong's wuxia novel The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber. She was originally named "Zhao Ming" (趙明) in the first edition of the novel, and the Chinese character "Min" (敏) in her birth name and title used to be "Ming" (明).[citation needed] Jin Yong describes her appearance as "naturally elegant and graceful, with a bright countenance." (瀟灑飄逸,容光照人)

Zhao Min is the daughter of Chaghan Temür, the Prince of Ruyang (汝陽王) of the Yuan Dynasty. Her older brother is Köke Temür. As a child, Zhao Min was ambitious and full of vigour, eager to take on duties that are traditionally done by men in the male dominant society of her time.[original research?] Her father, a military general, is appointed by the emperor to eradicate the rebel organisation Ming Cult and bring order to the wulin (martial artists' community). Zhao Min helps her father with her wit and intelligence.

Zhao Min makes her first appearance in the story by using the Ten Fragrances Tendon Weakening Powder (十香軟筋散) to poison several pugilists from the six major orthodox sects in the wulin, including the "Seven Heroes of Wudang" and Abbess Miejue of the Emei Sect. They are captured by Zhao Min and her men, and are imprisoned in Wan'an Monastery. As the six sects have recently come to a truce with the Ming Cult, Zhao Min intends to lure Zhang Wuji, new leader of the cult, into a trap and capture him too. Zhang Wuji travels to Green Willow Mountain Manor to meet Zhao Min, without knowing her true identity. When Zhao Min attempts to poison Zhang Wuji with the powder, the latter sees through her plans and stops her through frolicking and romantic moments in an underground chamber.

Zhang Wuji is the fictional protagonist of the wuxia novel The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber by Jin Yong.

Zhang was born on Ice Fire Island to Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu. He was named by his godfather Xie Xun in memory of the latter's deceased son Xie Wuji. He spends the next nine years of his life on the island with them and learns some basic survival skills, martial arts and academia from them. When he became older, his parents decide to return to the mainland with him, while Xie Xun stays behind and refuses to leave with them.

Upon their return to mainland China, the family arouses the attention of several pugilists and sects in the wulin (martial artists' community), who keep pestering them to divulge the whereabouts of Xie Xun and the Dragon Slaying Saber. Zhang is captured by the Xuanming Elders, who injure him with their Xuanming Divine Palm, but is rescued by his father's teacher Zhang Sanfeng later. His parents commit suicide in defiance after many people attempt to force them to reveal Xie Xun's hiding place.
