Цюаньчжэнь
Wang Chongyang is mentioned by name in the wuxia novels "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Return of the Condor Heroes" by Jin Yong. He is already dead when the events in the first novel take place and the details of his life are revealed by other characters, such as his junior Zhou Botong. Wang Chongyang, who was nicknamed "Central Divine" (), emerged as one of the top five martial artists in the "jianghu" (martial artists' community) in his time after a martial arts contest on Mount Hua. He also founded the martial arts sect Quanzhen Sect, which is based on the real-life Quanzhen School. After his death, his seven apprentices succeed him and lead Quanzhen to become one of the major orthodox martial arts sects in the "jianghu".
