Let’s talk about "Flying Fox Gaiden" first
Era background
The thirty-first to thirty-fourth year of Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty ( AD 1766-1769)
When the book opens, Hu Fei is a boy "thirteen or fourteen years old", while Hu Miao dueled "thirteen years ago". From the textual research of "Flying Fox in the Snow Mountain" below, we can see that the Miao people, Feng and Hu, fought a sword duel. Hu Fei's birth occurred in the twelfth lunar month of the eighteenth year of Qianlong (1753 AD), so this time is the eighteenth year of Qianlong plus thirteen equals thirty-one years (1766 AD). It can be seen that Hu Fei should be 13 years old at this time instead of 14 years old (it is obviously not the twelfth lunar month at this time, and Hu Fei has not yet reached his 14th birthday).
At the end of the book, it is mentioned that "...Ten years ago, Emperor Qianlong traveled incognito in Hangzhou. He was captured by the heroes of the Red Flower Society and imprisoned on the top of the Liuhe Pagoda...", and also said "... The tenth anniversary of the death of Princess Xiangxiang..." can be seen from the chronological background of "Books and Swords of Enmity and Enmity" that this should be the 34th year of Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1769 AD).
In this way, Hu Fei was only 16 years old at the end of the book. Khan... Reading the complicated emotional descriptions in the book, I thought he was in his early twenties; from a mental level, this guy is older than Wei Sirs are all precocious...

Snowy Mountain Flying Fox
Era Background:
Three of the forty-fifth year of Qianlong’s reign in the Qing Dynasty (1780 AD) The fifteenth day of the lunar month
The beginning and ending of "Flying Fox in the Snow Mountain" should be the most unmistakable among Jin Yong's martial arts novels: the entire novel takes place on "...the fifteenth day of March in the forty-fifth year of Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty..." ..."In this day - from the morning "the red sun in the east rises from behind the mountain..." until "...the moon is full...".
The Miao people Feng Hu dueled with a sword. Hu Fei was born "twenty-seven years ago", that is, the twelfth lunar month of the eighteenth year of Qianlong (1753 AD).

Liancheng Jue
Era background: Early to mid-Ming Dynasty
Argument 1: Official names such as "County Magistrate. Magistrate" and establishments such as "Jingzhou Prefecture. Jiangling County" in the book were owned by the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Argument 2: Ding Dian recalled what Ling Shuanghua said: "...in the third year of Chengsheng's reign, Wei soldiers captured Jiangling and killed Emperor Yuan.
But no one knows where the treasure he amassed is hidden... For hundreds of years, this secret has never been revealed..." Emperor Liang Yuan died in 554 AD. Since it is said "hundreds of years later", then No later than 1554 AD - its fashion was in the middle of the Ming Dynasty
Therefore, the era background of "Liancheng Jue" should be the Ming Dynasty rather than the Qing Dynasty, and it is most likely in the early Ming Dynasty, no later than the early Ming Dynasty. In the middle of the Ming Dynasty

The Eight Parts of the Dragon
Chronological Background: 1090 AD - 1094 AD
Northern Song Zhezong Yuanyou fifth year - Yuanyou ninth year/Shaosheng first year (1090 AD - 1094 AD)
"Tianlong" The beginning and end of the book "The Eight Parts" is originally very clear, but there are several bugs in the book, which makes it easy for researchers to lose their way. In the eleventh year of his reign, he changed the name of Yuan San to Baoding, Jian'an and Tianyou. It was the year of Tianyou..."), but the specific year is still unclear.
This is because currently historians only We know that Emperor Baoding reigned from the fifth year of Yuanfeng to the first year of Shaosheng in the Song Dynasty, but there is no evidence yet on how many years each of the three reign titles of Baoding, Jian'an and Tianyou occupied.
So far we have no evidence. We can find another time clue - fortunately, the time when Qiao Feng was the gang leader can give us a clear time coordinate.
In the fifteenth chapter of the book, it is written that Qiao Feng "has been in charge of the Beggar Gang for eight years..." ", and Gang Leader Wang's letter "...the date noted below is 'the seventh day of May in the sixth year of Yuanfeng in the Song Dynasty'. Qiao Feng clearly remembers that that was the day he took over as the leader of the Beggar Clan...", it can be seen that Qiao Feng is He became the leader of the gang in the sixth year of Yuanfeng (AD 1083). Based on this calculation, it was the sixth year of Yuanyou (AD 1091), the reign of Emperor Zhezong of the Northern Song Dynasty.
This time. It is March and April, and it is estimated that the beginning of the book should be the autumn and winter of the previous year (the scene in Nianhua Temple is of yellow leaves falling, considering that the climate in Dali is warmer, it should be autumn and winter, from the beginning to the Jiumozhi Tribulation It took eighteen days to walk to Duan Yu, and then "I walked like this for more than ten days, and I expected to have left the border of Dali... After walking for more than twenty days... I finally arrived outside Suzhou on this day... This was the time... "March weather"), so "Tian Long Ba Bu" begins in the fifth year of Zhe Zong Yuanyou (1090 AD).
As for the end, the historical event that appears in the book for reference is the death of the Empress Dowager Gao According to historical records, this happened in the ninth year of Yuanyou of Zhezong/the first year of Shaosheng (AD 1094), and it took at most two to three months ("After more than a month, the four lobbyists were not bored. ...", and when he mentioned that he wanted to cross the Yellow River, it was obviously not the freezing season yet) Xiao Feng committed suicide. The book ends.
So "Tian Long Ba Bu" ended in the ninth year of Yuanyou/the first year of Shaosheng (AD 1094).
Just like this, there are two temporal contradictions in the book (disregard historical contradictions such as the order and time of the succession to the throne of Dali Kingdom, etc., what we are talking about here is paradoxical situation in time). One is the birthday of the little girl Zhong Ling. The first chapter clearly states that Zhong Ling was "sixteen years old", but the second and ninth chapters both state that Zhong Ling was born "on the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month of the year of Jiwei." According to the zodiac signs, Zhong Ling should have been born in the second year of Yuanfeng (1079 AD), Shenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty. He was only 11 years old at the beginning of the book... This one, Khan... The other one is Duan Yu's age, in the first and fourth chapters of the book Hui mentioned twice that Duan Yu was already 19 years old at that time ("Zhong Ling said: 'Sixteen! And you.' Duan Yu said: 'I am three years older than you.'... Duan Yu interrupted: 'Well, you are eighteen Years old, one year younger than me. '"), but in Chapter 48 it is said that Duan Yu was born on "the 23rd day of the 11th month of Guihai, the second year of Baoding in Dali", which is 1083 AD, so he was 7 years old at the beginning of the book.
Sweat again...
I don’t know why Mr. Jin Yong wrote down his birthday so clearly, but he didn’t calculate the year correctly...

The Legend of the Condor Heroes
Chronological background: 1199 AD - 1227 AD
The fifth year of Qingyuan of Ningzong in the Southern Song Dynasty - Around the fourteenth year of Jiading (around 1199-1221 AD)
At the beginning, Zhang Shiwu clearly mentioned: "...Guangzong was passed to the current emperor Qingyuan, who was already in Lin'an. After sitting in Longting for five years...".
So the story begins in the fifth year of Qingyuan of Ningzong of the Southern Song Dynasty (1199 AD), and Guo Jing and Yang Kang were born in 1200.
The book ends with the death of Genghis Khan, which according to historical facts occurred in the third year of Baoqing of Emperor Lizong of the Southern Song Dynasty (1227 AD).
But look at the time flow of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" - after Guo Jing was 18 years old and met at the Yanyu Tower, it only took about two or three years for the book to end (...this search is For half a year, autumn turned to winter, winter ended and spring came back... More than a month passed... After ten days of march, the army arrived at the city of Samarkand... The two of them stayed in the stone house like this for more than a month... A few more months passed, Seeing the chilling golden wind, the soldiers and horses full of food, Genghis Khan once again wanted to conquer the south... slowly returning south, the weather is getting warmer and the grass is growing longer...).
Although it is not very certain how many years have passed, it can be verified by the following research in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" (Yang Guo was born in 1219 and Yang Guo was still a baby at the end of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes") It can be seen that there will not be much error in saying that it is two or three years, so the maximum at this time is 1200 18 3 = 1221 years.

The White Horse Roars to the West Wind
Era Background: Early Qing Dynasty
Argument 1: The book clearly states that at this time It has been "more than a thousand years" since the Gaochang Kingdom was destroyed (the Gaochang Qu Kingdom was established in Xinsi, the third year of Jingming in the Northern Wei Dynasty/501 AD, and destroyed in Gengzi, the 14th year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty/640 AD), so the earliest date must be 1640 Years later, that is, after Shunzhi ascended the throne.
Argument 2: The Shanxi Escort Agency appears in the book ("...the Jinwei Escort Agency was opened in Taigu County, Shanxi Province..."). According to Wei Juxian's "History of Shanxi Piaohao", the bodyguard bureau began around the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, flourished in Kangxi and Qianlong, and was first founded by Shanxi people. Judging from the situation described in the book, the escort industry was already quite prosperous, at least some time after the founding of the Qing Dynasty.
Based on the above arguments, the historical background of "White Horse Roaring in the West Wind" is at least the Shunzhi period in the early Qing Dynasty. In fact, it is most likely that it took place in the Kangxi, Yongzong and Qianlong periods like the following books.
7
The Deer and the Cauldron
Era background: the eighth year of Kangxi reign in the Qing Dynasty to the twenty-sixth year of Kangxi reign (1669-1687 AD)
Although the book "The Deer and the Cauldron" does not explicitly mention the year and month, the entire book is based on historical events, so it is based on historical facts.
It is difficult to determine when Chen Jinnan rescued several celebrities at the beginning of the book, so we just casually assumed that it happened at the same time as the content of the second chapter. The adventures of Wei Xiaobao that started in the second chapter took place a few months before the capture of Obei (it took some time to go to the capital at first, but later "Wei Xiaobao and Xiao Xuanzi fought for two months...", and later learned from Daci. Dabei Shou again "... studied half-heartedly for two or three months..."). According to historical records, the capture of Obai took place in May of the eighth year of Kangxi. So we can save some trouble and no longer skip the years. Let us assume that the whole book begins in the beginning of the eighth year of Kangxi.
The landmark historical event at the end is naturally the signing of the Treaty of Nerchinsk, which occurred in the 26th year of Kangxi's reign. The book ends with Wei Xiaobao living in seclusion. At this time, it was only a few months before the signing of the agreement (about a month after returning to Beijing from Nerchinsk). After that, Mao Shiba was arrested and his "son" was changed at the execution ground. Another "Feng Xifan" disappeared After more than ten days, he left Beijing and returned to his hometown. Then he decided to live in seclusion on the boat on the way), so he was still in the 26th year of Kangxi.
However, calculated this way, our Lord Wei's age at this time... He was "twelve or thirteen years old" at the beginning of the book, plus eighteen years - he is already three years old...

Swordsman: Mid-Ming Dynasty (after 1500 AD)
Argument 1: Zu Qianqiu mentioned in the book when commenting on wine utensils People from this dynasty who have been to "Yuan Ci" will not use this tone to describe the affairs of this dynasty. From this, we can know that the historical background of "Swordsman" was in the Yuan Dynasty, Ming or Qing Dynasty.
Argument 2: The official positions mentioned in the article. place name. The construction of the county government is unique to the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Argument 3: There is a sentence in "The Deer and the Cauldron" "...there was Linghu Chong in the previous dynasty...", which is undoubtedly before the Qing Dynasty.
Based on the first three arguments, we can see that "Swordsman" took place in the Ming Dynasty.
Argument 4: According to the analysis of the Huashan School's lineage in the article "Chronology of the Swordsman" by the Three Heroes of the Yangtze River, Mu Renqing was about the same generation of Linghu Chong's disciples and grandsons. "The Swordsman" takes place around the middle of the Ming Dynasty around 1500.
Argument 5: The article mentioned that "In fact, more than a hundred years ago, the real name of this sect was the Five Poison Sect. The founders and important figures in the sect were all Miao people from Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Hunan. ..." At this time, the Five Poison Sect was called the "Five Immortal Sect", but in "Blue Blood Sword" it was reverted to the name of the Five Poison Sect. The name of a sect should only change in one or two generations; Judging from the teacher-teacher relationship between He Hongyao and others, it is more appropriate to regard him as Lan Fenghuang's disciple or a more distant generation. This is also roughly consistent with Mu Renqing being the disciple of Linghu Chong.
Argument 6: The article mentions that "Emei... established the sect hundreds of years ago...", which means it should be at least 200 years after Guo Xiang established the sect. Guo Xiang established Emei after his middle age, which means that it was at least after 1500 AD.
From the above three items, it can be roughly confirmed that the historical background of the article "Swordsman" should be after 1500 AD in the middle of the Ming Dynasty.
About "Hebei". In the Ming Dynasty, Hebei was called "North Zhili Province" and in the Qing Dynasty, it was called "Zhili Province". It was not called "Hebei Province" until 1928. Therefore, it is obviously wrong to judge that it is the Qing Dynasty based on the name of "Hebei" in the novel. We can regard this as the difference between novelists and historians!
About the "Sun and Moon God Sect". If it was during the Qing Dynasty, why wasn't it publicly called "Mingjiao"? Moreover, the Sun Moon God Sect is obviously a Jianghu sect rather than a political organization, so it makes no sense to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. A reasonable explanation is that Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor by relying on the power of Mingjiao, but he started to clean up the Mingjiao forces. The Mingjiao was originally a gangland organization, so they had to avoid taboos and changed their name to the "Sun Moon God Sect", hid the general helm on the Blackwood Cliff (Guangmingding could no longer stay there), and acted increasingly weirdly (to avoid the officialdom). hunt).
And it originated from the Western Regions and has an unusual relationship with the government, so it is incompatible with the major sects in the Central Plains and has been enemies for many generations.
Basic research on the fact that "Swordsman" took place in the Ming Dynasty
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhang Sanfeng was still alive, and Chongxu in "Swordsman" was Zhang Sanfeng's disciple. It can be seen that Xiaoao must have occurred after the Yuan Dynasty. In Chapter 23 of The Deer and the Cauldron, Cheng Guan once said: "The ancients said that when martial arts reaches its peak, the antelope hangs its horns and there is no trace left. I heard that in the previous dynasty, there was a great hero Dugu Bai and a great hero Linghu Chong. A chivalrous man, who can win with no moves but with one move, is invincible in the world..." It can be seen that Xiaoao occurred before the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, the basic background of Xiaoao is the Ming Dynasty.
The specific start and end time of Swordsman
1. The start and end time of the Ming Dynasty is from 1368 AD (Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor) to 1644 AD (Chongzhen hanged himself).
2. Xiao Ao Zhong wrote: More than eighty years ago, several masters and elders of the Sun and Moon Sect raided Wudang Mountain at night and stole the sword together with a "Tai Chi Sutra" written by Zhang Sanfeng. go. Mingjiao has a deep relationship with Wudang, not only with Zhang Wuji, but also with Yang Buhui. Yang Buhui's father, Yang Xiao, is Zhang Wuji's successor. Therefore, while Zhang Wuji and Yang Buhui were alive, it was absolutely impossible for the Sun Moon Sect to attack Wudang Mountain at night. The article "Yitian" has a relatively reliable historical background and time calculation. The time when Yitian ended was 1358, when Zhang Wuji was 22 years old and Yang Buhui was about 16 years old. A more reasonable estimate of their influence is 55 years. At this time, Wuji is nearly 80 years old: even if he has been away from the world for many years, with his power to intimidate the Ming Sect, the Sun Moon Sect will not dare to disrespect Wudang until at least this time. ; Yang Buhui is in his early 70s at this time and may pass away. Of course, a more reliable estimate is 55-65 years. In this way, the time when the Demon Cult returns the Wudang Shujian in the last chapter of Xiaoao is about 140 to 150 years after 1358, that is, between 1498 and 1508.
The Patriarch Feng in Huashan Mountain in "Blue Blood Sword" has an elegant demeanor, and he should be Feng Qingyang. Because Blue Blood Sword was completed earlier, when Jin Yong was writing Xiaoao, his design for the Huashan Sword School had already taken into account the Huashan Sect in Blue Blood Sword, so the basis for his design of the name Feng Qingyang was obviously "Master Feng". Feng Qingyang himself would not rebuild the Huashan Sect. The reasonable explanation is that Linghu Chong later accepted disciples in order to rebuild the Huashan Sect and prevent the Huashan swordsmanship and internal strength from being lost. In order not to fetter myself, and in order to commemorate Feng Qingyang, I regarded Feng as my ancestor. So, how many disciples of Linghu Chong should Mu Renqing be? Consider two points: first, the Huashan Sect has many sect rules. Linghu’s personality would not dictate any rules, so it would take at least three generations for it to be passed down to Mu Renqing; second, Mu Renqing said that “the swordsmanship of our sect” It is even more profound and profound, and every generation has gained from it since the ancestors." This shows that Mu Renqing was at least the third disciple of Linghu Chong.
In the same year that the Ming Dynasty fell, the Huashan sect held a disciple meeting (1644). Yuan Chengzhi was in his twenties at the time, about the same age as Feng Buji and Feng Bupo, Feng Nandi's sons. Huang Zhen, Feng Nandi's master, was Mu Renqing's disciple; based on the twenty years of each generation, Mu was already ninety years old. If Mu Renqing's master's master was a disciple of Linghu Chong, and the same calculation is based on twenty years per generation (but Linghu Chong accepted his apprentice at 40 years old), Linghu Chong should be about 80 years older than Mu Renqing. In this way, Linghu Chong's birth year is around 1470.
Look at the details about age in Swordsman.
The article begins with the first year. In the spring of the first year, the family was destroyed. Mrs. Lin was 39 years old and born in the year of Tiger.
In the first year, Linghu Chong appeared. Linghu was 28 years old at this time.
The following summer, Linghu Chong was imprisoned.
On March 15th of the third year, the Five Sacred Sword Sects merged.
In the third year, the Sun Moon God Sect returned the Wudang Shujian.
In the sixth year, Linghu and Yingying got married.
In the late spring of the seventh year, the story ends.
In the first year, Mrs. Lin was 39 years old and was born in the Year of the Tiger. It can be inferred that this year is the Year of the Snake. Checking the perpetual calendar and combining 2, we can know that the year was 1497 or 1509 AD. Combined with 3, it is inferred to be 1497. Linghu Chong was born in 1469.
