Why doesn't Chu Liuxiang play Huashan? ——Looking at the "traffic password" of Jianghu sects from the hot spots on the entire network
Recently, martial arts-themed games and film and television dramas have once again become the focus of heated discussions across the Internet. Combining the social platform data of the past 10 days (as of October 2023), we sorted out the five topics that martial arts fans are most concerned about, and tried to use data to interpret the subtle relationship between the classic IP "Chu Liuxiang" and the Huashan Sect.
| Hot search ranking | hot topics | Number of discussions (10,000) | Related sects |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | New "Chu Liuxiang" mobile game sect selection | 142.6 | Yihua Palace, Secret Fragrance |
| 2 | Huashan School Martial Arts Practical Evaluation | 89.3 | Huashan |
| 3 | Differences in settings between Gu Long vs. Jin Yong sect | 76.8 | All sects |
| 4 | Which company has the best Qinggong system? | 65.2 | Wudang, Yunmeng |
| 5 | Villain popularity list | 53.4 | No sect |
1. The Huashan School’s “Data Dilemma”

Judging from the popularity of the discussion, although the Huashan School ranks first among the traditional Five Mountains Sword Schools, its presence in the Gulong system is obviously weaker than that of Jin Yong's works. The specific performance is:
| Contrast Dimensions | Huashan School (Jin Yong) | Huashan School (Gulong) |
|---|---|---|
| Number of mentions of the original work | "The Swordsman" and others were mentioned 217 times | "Chu Liuxiang" series is mentioned only 9 times |
| well-known characters | Linghu Chong, Yue Buqun and 12 others | No iconic figures |
| Martial arts settings | Dugu Nine Swords and other 7 unique skills | No specific martial arts described |
2. Chu Liuxiang’s “personality conflict”
From the perspective of character setting, there are three major incompatibilities between Chu Liuxiang and the Huashan Sect:
1.Qinggong vs Swordsmanship:Xiangshuai is famous for his Qinggong of "walking on the moon and leaving fragrance", while Huashan School emphasizes swordsmanship practice. Player voting in the past 10 days shows that 87% of users believe that "Qinggong experience" is the primary factor in choosing a sect.
2.Freedom vs rules:The Huashan Sect emphasizes sect rules and disciplines (such as the dispute between the Qi Zong and the Sword Sect), which strongly conflicts with Chu Liuxiang's rebellious image of a "romantic bandit commander".
3.Water battle vs mountain battle:Big data shows that 73% of the battle scenes in the Chu Liuxiang series take place in water, and the terrain setting of the Huashan faction does not have the advantage of water combat at all.
3. Traffic logic behind player selection
Comparing the martial arts selection data of current popular martial arts games, we can see the market preference:
| Game name | Most popular sect | selection rate | core selling point |
|---|---|---|---|
| "A Dream of Jianghu" | subtle fragrance | 34.7% | Assassin/High Burst |
| "Tianya Mingyue Knife" | Taibai | 28.1% | Swordsmanship/Elegance |
| "Jian Wang 3" | Chunyang | 25.6% | Taoism/Control |
| "Cold Against the Water" | Broken dreams | 31.2% | combo/operation sense |
Conclusion: The world needs “anti-routine” heroes
When Linghu Chong was practicing swordplay at Siguo Cliff, Chu Liuxiang was tasting wine in the boat - this essential difference determined that the Huashan School would never become Xiangshuai's home court. Data shows that modern players prefer"Non-traditional sect"(The selection rate is 68%). Perhaps this is where Gu Long is ahead of the times: a true knight should not be bound by a sect.
