Huang Rong is a fictional character in the wuxia novel The Legend of the Condor Heroes by Jin Yong. She also appears as a supporting character in the sequel, The Return of the Condor Heroes.In The Legend of the Condor Heroes[edit]
Huang Rong was born to Huang Yaoshi and Feng Heng. Her mother died shortly after she was born and her father raised her all by himself on Peach Blossom Island. She was an intelligent child and quick learner, so her father imparted her with all his skills and knowledge. She flees from home after a quarrel with her father and disguises herself as a beggar by donning filthy rags.
Huang Rong meets Guo Jing for the first time in an inn while she was arguing with a waiter. Guo Jing feels sorry for her and decides to pay for her meal. Huang Rong finds him interesting and she orders all kinds of fine cuisine and shares with him. Guo Jing even gives her some gold ingots he received from Genghis Khan. When she asks, he offers her his prized Ferghana horse, a rare Central Asian breed. Since then, Huang Rong is attracted to Guo Jing as she sees that he is a simple, honest and innocent young lad.
Guo Jing and Huang Rong embark on adventure together even though Guo's teachers, the 'Seven Freaks of Jiangnan', dislike Huang and oppose Guo's decision to be with her. They meet Hong Qigong, who teaches Guo Jing his 'Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms' to repay Huang Rong's favours of preparing fine cuisine for him every day during the brief period of time he spent with them.
Hong Qigong initially refuses to teach Huang Rong any skills when he learns that she is the daughter of his friendly rival, Huang Yaoshi. However, he starts to like her for her adorable nature, and especially after she and Guo Jing saved him from Ouyang Feng. He fought with Ouyang Feng and won but fell into Ouyang Fengs scheme therefore he was bitten by the latter's poisonous serpent, and lost all his inner energy in purging the venom from his body. He teaches Huang Rong his 'Dog Beating Staff Technique' after deciding to pass on his position as the Beggars' Sect's chief to her.
Huang Rong plays a significant role in Yang Kang's death although she does not kill him directly. Yang Kang attacks her with a palm strike in an attempt to prevent her from revealing the truth behind the murders he committed. However, instead, he hits the spikes on the soft armour she is wearing. The armour was incidentally stained with venom from a rare snake bred by Ouyang Feng and the poison seeps through Yang Kang's wounds into his body and kills him eventually.
Towards the end of the novel, on the summit of Mount Hua, Huang Yaoshi finally consents to his daughter's marriage to Guo Jing.In The Return of the Condor Heroes[edit]
Guo Jing and Huang Rong play supporting roles in the character development of the protagonist Yang Guo in the sequel. The couple have three children (Guo Fu, Guo Xiang, and Guo Polu) and have also accepted the brothers Wu Xiuwen and Wu Dunru as their students.
During their first meeting with Yang Guo, Guo Jing accepts the boy immediately and wants to raise him like a son and groom him to become a young hero. However, Huang Rong has reservations over her husband's decision. She feels that Yang Guo bears an uncanny resemblance to his late father in his attitude and behaviour, and does not fully trust the boy. Yang was taught only literary arts and Confucian values during the brief period of time he spent with the couple.
Huang Rong is responsible for the split of Xiaolong Nu and Yang Guo many times. Huang Rong's attitude towards Yang Guo changes over time as her husband shows high regard for the boy and especially after Yang Guo selflessly saved their family from danger again and again. At one point, she fears for Guo Fu's life, after her daughter sliced off Yang Guo's arm in a heated quarrel, but Yang forgives Guo Fu and saves her life later. Huang Rong only fully trusts Yang after he saved Guo Xiang from the Mongols in a later chapter.
Huang Rong joins her husband in defending Xiangyang and provides him with all the support to resist the Mongol invaders. In The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, it is revealed that the couple realise that the eventual fall of Xiangyang is inevitable, so they wrote their knowledge of martial arts and military strategy on scrolls and hid them separately in the blades of the Heaven Reliant Sword and Dragon Slaying Saber, in the hope that future generations would inherit their legacy. Huang Rong was killed along with the rest of her family (excluding Guo Xiang) after Xiangyang fell to the Mongols.Character description[edit]
Huang Rong is described as a young beggar dressed in filthy clothing during her first appearance in The Legend of the Condor Heroes. Her face is stained with mud and her clothes are covered in dust.[2] When Guo Jing agrees to meet her on the riverbank, she looks completely different from her earlier image, now that she is clean and dressed in beautiful clothes. Her appearance is described as 'with skin whiter than snow, charm unrivalled by any, and a presence so stunning, one would almost blush from staring at her too intently'. Guo Jing is taken aback by her new look.[3]In fiction and popular culture[edit]

Huang Rong learnt most of her martial arts and skills from her father. Guo Jing is unable to fully grasp all these skills. Some of them are listed below.
*'Peach Flower Fallen Hero Palm' (桃花落英掌), known in later editions as 'Falling Flower Divine Sword Palm' (落英神剑掌).
*'Divine Flicking Finger' (弹指神通) is a technique of channelling a large amount of inner energy into a finger and releasing it with a precise amount of strength and control. It is used to propel objects towards enemies with force and accuracy.
*'Jade Flute Swordplay' (玉箫剑法) is a type of swordplay that focuses on attacking an opponent's acupuncture points.Hong Qigong[edit]
Huang Rong meets Hong Qigong while out on adventure with Guo Jing. Hong Qigong teaches them his skills to repay Huang Rong's favours of preparing fine cuisine for him. The skills Huang Rong learnt from Hong Qigong are as follows:
*'Carefree Fist' (逍遙遊) was created by Hong Qigong in his younger days. It requires flexibility and smoothness as its name 'carefree' implies.
*'Rain of Petals' (滿天花雨) is a skill created by Hong Qigong to counter Ouyang Ke and his snakes. It involves using sewing needles as dart-like throwing weapons.
*'Dog Beating Staff Technique' (打狗棒法) is a skill known only to the Beggars' Sect's chief. This technique is one of the best among all pole weapons skills for its ever-changing styles and movements. Hong Qigong teaches Huang Rong when he decides to pass on his position as chief to her. Huang Rong teaches Lu Youjiao this skill later when she names him her successor.Nine Yin Manual[edit]
The Nine Yin Manual is the most coveted martial arts manual of its time because of the incredible inner energy cultivation techniques and extraordinary skills it records. Guo Jing shares with Huang Rong after memorising and learning the skills in the book. Mastering the manual's skills allows both of them to maximise the potential of the various skills they had learnt earlier.[4]Miscellaneous skills and knowledge[edit]
Huang Rong acquired most of her knowledge of geography, medicine, strategy, mathematics, music, literature, etc. from her father. She also inherited her mother's eidetic memory.
She is also versed in the art of laying formations, such as the Eight Trigrams Formation, to counter enemies' advances. She uses her powers to make huge rocks and boulders form an array and maze to confuse enemies and force them to retreat.
Huang Rong is an excellent cook. She prepared several fine dishes for Hong Qigong to ask him to teach Guo Jing martial arts. Hong Qigong has a penchant for fine cuisine and could not resist the temptation that he has no choice but to keep his promise and teach Guo Jing.Family tree[edit]Guo Jing and Huang Rong's family treeGuo XiaotianGuo JingGuo PoluLi PingGuo XiangHuang YaoshiHuang RongGuo FuFeng HengYelü QiYelü ChucaiYelü ZhuYelü YanWu SantongWu DunruWu SanniangWu XiuwenWanyan PingNotes:

The Jiuyang Zhenjing, also known as the Nine Yang Manual, is a fictional martial arts manual in Jin Yong's Condor Trilogy. It was first introduced briefly at the end of the second novel The Return of the Condor Heroes. It plays a significant role in the third novel The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber after Zhang Wuji discovers it and masters the skills in the book.[1]Origin[edit]
The manual's origin is dubious, as opposed to that of its counterpart Nine Yin Manual. Rumours in Shaolin Sect say that the book was written by the Shaolin Sect's founder Bodhidharma as it was written amidst between the lines of the Lankavatara Sutra one of the many various Buddhist scriptures in the Shaolin library, but these claims have never been verified but the novel clearly mentioned clear speculation that the manual could have been written by a Chinese as Shaolin Sect founder was from India and Wudang Sect founder Zhang Sanfeng believed that the manual had connection to Taoism contradicting the common belief that it was of Buddhist origins. The Nine Yang Manual is also never published as a single book, in contrast to the Nine Yin Manual, which comes in two volumes. The manual's origin was later retconned in the new revised edition of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber. In the past, Wang Chongyang lent Nine Yin Manual to his wise drinking buddy to study. Feeling Nine Yin Manual results in too much yin qi, he crafted the Nine Yang Manual after seeking refuge in Shaolin Sect.The Return of the Condor Heroes[edit]
The manual's existence is not known to the jianghu until it was stolen by Yinkexi and Xiaoxiangzi at the end of The Return of the Condor Heroes. The Shaolin librarian Jueyuan monk and his young apprentice Zhang Junbao pursued the thieves to Mount Hua to retrieve the stolen book. They encountered the new Five Greats (Huang Yaoshi, Yang Guo, Guo Jing, Yideng and Zhou Botong), who were just departing from the summit after paying their respects to the late Hong Qigong and Ouyang Feng.[2]
Zhang Junbao defeated Yinkexi and Xiaoxiangzi with Yang Guo's help but had not found the missing book yet. In fact, Yinkexi had already hidden the manual in the abdomen of a white gorilla. He and Xiaoxiangzi later suspected that each other was intending to keep the manual for himself. They fought to seize possession of the book and ultimately Yinkexi killed Xiaoxiangzi but he was also fatally wounded and remained in a moribund state. Yinkexi met the Kunlun Sect founder He Zudao and made a dying confession to He, telling him to inform the Shaolin Sect where the manual is. He Zudao misheard 'The manual is in the ape' as 'The manual is in the oil' and passed on the wrong message to others. The mystery of the whereabouts of the manual baffled martial artists in the jianghu for nearly a century. He Zudao also disappeared mysteriously after being defeated by Jueyuan in a fight.[3]The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber[edit]Jueyuan passes on his knowledge of the manual[edit]
Jueyuan is unable to recover the lost manual as the only people who know its whereabouts are either missing or dead and he returns to Shaolin Monastery after his futile attempt. However, Jueyuan had already read the entire text of the manual and had practised martial arts based on its principles before. He is unaware of the book's true value and cultivated strong inner energy from his practice. He imparts sections of the book he learnt to his apprentice Zhang Junbao. Zhang builds up a strong inner energy foundation, which later becomes useful when he proceeds to train in more advanced martial arts.[4]
Three years later, a powerful martial artist travels to Shaolin to challenge the sect and no one is able to defeat him. Jueyuan takes up the challenge and he defeats the aggressor. The Shaolin monks are surprised when they see Jueyuan, who has been forbidden by the sect's rules to practise any form of martial arts, exhibit such powerful skills during the fight. According to Shaolin's regulations, Jueyuan must be put to death for violating the code. Zhang Junbao is also to be killed. Jueyuan expresses his willingness to accept the punishment and begs for Zhang's life to be spared but is denied.[5]
At the critical moment, Jueyuan breaks loose and escapes with his apprentice. They run into Guo Xiang at the foot of Mount Song. Guo Xiang defends them from the pursuing Shaolin monks and they engage in a fierce battle. The three of them decide to retreat as they are no match for the full force of Shaolin and also because they do not wish to develop feuds with Shaolin. Jueyuan carries Zhang and Guo to safety but he overexerts himself and coughs blood later. Jueyuan is on the verge of death and he recites the text of the Nine Yang Manual from memory amidst the Lanvakatara Sutra and passes on soon after he finished reciting. Guo Xiang, Zhang Junbao and Wuse (a senior Shaolin monk) As the three of them have significant differences in their levels of understanding of martial arts, and Zhang Junbao having learnt it straight from Jueyuan had learnt more than the latter, while Wuse came on sight later and so each individual's interpretations of the verses vary.[6]
The Shaolin, Wudang and Emei sects have their own versions of the Nine Yang Manual after Wuse, Zhang Junbao and Guo Xiang pass on their knowledge to their respective sects. As Guo has the best memory of the three of them, Emei's version is the longest. However, Shaolin's version is the most powerful because Wuse is superior to Guo and Zhang in martial arts prowess and he integrates the manual's skills with his own. As for Zhang, who spent the longest time with Jueyuan, he recalls the most original and purest version. The three simplified versions of the manual eventually become known as 'Shaolin Nine Yang Skill' (少林九陽功), 'Wudang Nine Yang Skill' (武當九陽功), and 'Emei Nine Yang Skill' (峨嵋九陽功).[7]The manual's influence on various sects[edit]
Zhang Junbao and Guo Xiang incorporate various principles of the Nine Yang Manual into their own martial arts and become more powerful martial artists as they grow older. Zhang Junbao (later renamed to 'Zhang Sanfeng') and Guo Xiang founded the Wudang and Emei sects respectively decades later. Their skills are passed on to their disciples and later become infused into their sects' martial arts. Wuse returns to Shaolin and passes on his knowledge of the manual to his fellows. The book's skills find their way into the martial arts of three of the leading sects in the wulin (martial artists' community).[8]
Despite the common belief that the Nine Yang Manual has Buddhist origins, Zhang Sanfeng begins to doubt this claim as he delves further into the text. He notices that the principles and philosophy of the skills depicted in the manual are very much Taoist in nature. He also points out that the manual was written in Chinese instead of Sanskrit, the language that the manual's alleged creator Bodhidharma would have used. Zhang develops the Taiji Fist based on the principles in the book.[9]Nine Yin Manual Techniques PdfZhang Wuji finds the manual[edit]
No one had ever possessed the complete version of the Nine Yang Manual ever since it was stolen from Shaolin. Zhang Sanfeng, Guo Xiang and Wuse only grasped parts of the book from Jueyuan's incomplete recitation of the text. Zhang Wuji discovers the white gorilla by chance. He uses his medical knowledge to remove the book from the ape's abdomen, which was placed inside by Yinkexi after he stole it from Shaolin nearly a century ago. As Zhang had previously learned Wudang's simplified version of the manual, he is able to understand its content and spends five years mastering the skills in the book. He develops the Nine Yang Divine Skill (九陽神功) from his study and uses it to heal himself of his wounds caused by the Xuanming Elders' 'Xuanming Divine Palm'. Zhang later buries the manual, along with the books about medicine and toxicology (written by Hu Qingniu and Wang Nangu), in an unknown valley in the Kunlun Mountains. Zhang integrates his knowledge of the manual's skills with other martial arts he learnt and becomes a formidable martial artist.References[edit]Nine Yin Manual Techniques Pdf
