At what point did wulin, as portrayed in wuxia novels and adaptations, cease to exist as a distinct subset of (fictional) premodern Chinese society? When did it stop being the easily recognizable wulin familiar to wuxia writers and fans and begin evolving into the modern institutions (e.g. triads and modern martial arts schools) that replaced it?
