How did Jin Yong name the men in the book?

Mr. Jin Yong is knowledgeable and versatile, especially in ancient history, so most of his novels have a certain historical background, and this aspect will be taken into account when choosing names.

Yang Kang and Guo Jing, for example, got their names from the shame of Jingkang. As we all know, in the second year of Jingkang in the Northern Song Dynasty, Xu Jin entered Tokyo and took away the Emperor Qin Hui. This was a great shame in the Northern Song Dynasty, so he gave them such a name to show the shame of Jingkang.

Another example is Mu Rongfu, the descendant of Emperor Yan in the Sixteen Kingdoms Period. Yan was destroyed many times and established political power many times, just like being invincible. Therefore, Mr. Jin felt this history and engraved his name on the heads of their descendants.

In The Legend of the Condor Heroes, he named Yang Guo, the condor hero, as Yang Guo, and the change of epigram means to repent and atone for Yang Kang. Because Yang Kang, as a loyal minister, recognized the thief as his father, took refuge in the door of the State of Jin, and finally died tragically, so Mr. Jin hoped that his descendants would not follow his old path, but lay down and wait for themselves, so he gave him a name.
