Jin Yong's novels are populated with hundreds of different characters, martial arts techniques, martial arts schools and associations, weapons, poisons, geographical locations, etc. What nobody has undertaken, however, is to compile an index of these various items...including origin, history, and significance to Jin Yong's stories. Perhaps this is something we can all pool our knowledge on, and compile for all Jin Yong fans. If successful, we could consider expanding this project for Gu Long, Leung Yu Sung, and other prominent wuxia writers.
Of course, we must answer several questions first: how do we begin? How do we coordinate such a project?
Maybe the first thing we need to do is compile lists of characters, martial arts, martial arts associations, etc.
