Chu Liuxiang is the fictional protagonist of the ''wuxia'' novel series ''Chu Liuxiang Series'' () by Gu Long. He robs the rich to help the poor and upholds justice in the ''jianghu''. He is nicknamed "Daoshuai" (; Bandit Chief) or more popularly, "Xiangshuai" (; Chief Xiang). He is intelligent and observant, kind and compassionate. His name "Liuxiang" literally means "lingering fragrance". ==Character description== Chu is a martial arts expert whose prowess in ''qinggong'' is unmatched. He wields a fan as his weapon and uses it only for self-defence. He relies on his wit, experience and calm to solve several mysteries and overcome several enemies who are more powerful than him. The identity of Chu's martial arts teacher is unknown, and even the well-informed Shuimu Yinji could only deduce that he is a student of Ye Di (), a character from ''Daqi Yingxiong Zhuan'' ().〔 (Ye Di ) on Baidu Baike〕 Chu's age is not specified in the novels, but he is estimated to be around 30 years old. In ''Bianfu Chuanqi'', Chu's childhood friend Hu Tiehua is said to be 33 years old. Chu's age is assumed to be close to Hu's. Chu resides on a houseboat called Xian Houseboat (), which also functions as his headquarters. Living together with him are three women, who are the closest people to him apart from his best friends Hu Tiehua and Ji Bingyan. They accompany him together in ''Tiexue Chuanqi''. They come from pitiful backgrounds and have been following Chu on his adventures since they were 11 or 12. The first, Su Rongrong, is kind and understanding and specialises in the art of disguise. The second, Li Hongxiu, is very clear and alert and has a good memory. The third one, Song Tian'er, is a good cook and is the most mischievous and adorable of the three. Chu also meets several other beautiful maidens on his adventures, such as Heizhenzhu, Shi Xiuyun, Hua Zhenzhen, Dong Sanniang and Xinyue. He eventually marries Zhang Jiejie, whom he meets in ''Taohua Chuanqi''. Chu has a wide network of friends. They include: Monk Wuhua, who is later revealed to be a foe; Ji Bingyan, who appears cold and indifferent but is actually very warm-hearted; Zhongyuan Yidianhong, a powerful swordsman; Zuo Qinghou, the hospitable master of Zhibei manor; "Swift Net" Zhang San. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chu Liuxiang」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
