Lang Honghuan became famous for his romantic novels in the 1930s, and he was also the frst person who published serialized full-length martial arts novels in the newspapers and magazines in Taiwan. With his artistic skills, Lang combined the two literary genres of romanticism and martial arts tactfully, and dedicated himself to describing the lifestyles of the “Eight Banners” of the Qing Dynasty. He made his unique achievements by integrating history, romanticism, martial arts and ways of the world, and was renowned for “making a new epoch of martial arts novels”. Lang’s representative works include the fve series of Yuling Diao, Yinhai Enchoulu, Mochou Ernv, Zhulian Yinzhu and Jiandan Shihun, which told the life vicissitudes of three generations of heroes and heroines, and spanned chronologically through the reign of Emperors Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong, and covered geographically from the North to the South, as well as regions across the border of China. The novels are characterized by grand and complex plots, and vivid characters, which are comparable with Wang Dulu’s five serial novels of “Crane-Iron”. Lang’s novels have the practical signifcance for studying the development of contemporary martial arts novels in Taiwan.
