Xianxia Novel (Simplified Chinese: 仙侠小说; Traditional Chinese: 仙俠小說), is a type of novel developed from the Wuxia genre that was later influenced by Taoism. It was first introduced in the Republic of China and became popular in the 21st century. The Xianxia novel uses protagonists, typically known as "cultivators", who are actually Taoist or Buddhist. == Xiuzhen == Xiuzhen (Chinese: 修真), meaning "cultivate", is a Taoist concept by which humans can extend their lifespan through a set of cultivation arts called the "Art of Breathing". This art can be divided into Base Building (筑基) and other arts. Base Building itself refers to the practice of strengthening the body through the "Exercising Method." The "Cultivating Method" could comprise martial arts, Buddhism, or Taoism depending on the doctrine of different religions. The "Cultivation" is considered disobedient to Heaven, a term originating in Wuxia. Whatever the level that is settled, it mostly follows the following steps, according to Base Building: *Turning spirit into air (炼精化气), *Turning air into a spirit (炼气化神), *Turning a spirit back into emptiness (炼神还虚), *Turning emptiness into Dao (炼虚合道). Dao (道) actually meaning "the road" or "the principles of the universe", Taoists believe that these exercises lead to a longer lifespan. 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「Xianxia novel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
