Guo Xiang
In Jin Yong's novels, Emei's martial arts are the best among those suited for women. The origins of Emei's martial arts come from its founder, Guo Xiang. Guo's martial arts were mostly inherited from her family, including some of Huang Yaoshi (her maternal grandfather)'s skills. She also learnt part of the "Nine Yang Manual" from Jueyuan in her younger days. However, it does have some elements of unorthodox skills, as exhibited by Zhou Zhiruo when she uses the "Nine Yin White Bone Claw" () after finding the "Nine Yin Manual" ().
