See also: Category: Wu Xia Swordsmen. Wuxia, translated as "martial chivalry," is a genre of Chinese fiction which can be traced to certain Wuxia novels from the late Ming Dynasty period. One of the most influential early novels in Chinese literature is "Water Margin" by Shi Nai'an, written in the 14th century. Many famous martial arts film series derive from this literary tradition that developed out of China jianghu literary culture during the Ming dynasty and Qing dynasty periods making it one of the oldest continuing pop-culture phenomena in East Asia. In the West, the term is used to refer to a series of Asian martial arts films from Hong Kong and Taiwan, although some people outside of Asia do not use it in this way. This page will only cover the series of "Wuxia" films produced by Hong Kong's Shaw Brothers Studio. After a string of film and box office failures, Shaw Brothers Studio went bankrupt in 1971. Run Run Shaw, the studio chairman, was determined to save it from failure and started a new strategy to turn the studio's fortunes around. He sacked all the directors and replaced them with new ones. One of these was Kuei Chih-Hung who became one of the most prolific directors for the studio. The studio then produced a series of wuxia films adapted from novels by Liang Yusheng and Gu Long. They were so successful that they revived the ailing studio and became a major pop cultural phenomenon in Hong Kong and Asia. The genre reached its height between 1971 and 1985, with 530 wuxia titles released in mainland China alone between 1971 and 2001, with an average of 20 per year. In 2009, there were reports that the number of martial arts films produced in mainland China has overtaken the number produced in Hong Kong, since these movies are no longer being made, although more recent reports suggest that this may not be happening. These first wuxia films were adaptations of Gu Long's novels. After the success of these adaptations, the studio decided to adapt other wuxia novels as well. The first was a series of four films based on Liang Yusheng's novel "The Magic Blade", which told a story about a swordsman named Yang Ziangxiang and his adventures. These sequels were not as successful as Gu Long's adaptations, but they did well enough to continue making more wuxia films. In 1973, the studio made another series of four films based on a novel by Liang Yusheng called "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". wu xia swordsmen 1080p torrent cfa1e77820
