1. If you want to become a super powerful hero, jump off the nearest cliff. You will definitely survive, find a powerful martial art manuals, or even weapons, and come out being among the best of your era. 2. They always have money, even they just wandering around and don't work. 3. Some guys are so dumb that they can't even recognize when girls dressed up as guys. Your turn to make complete this list until 1001  |

5. God fathers, god-brothers, etc. may help advance your martial arts but may bring unforeseen complications in future.

6. qinggong defies all laws of gravity, obeying, instead, the laws of cartoons
adaptation-specific lessons:
7. wuxia was most active during the Ming
8. sword scabbards can be thrown all over the place but somehow are properly in place in the next scene
9. chinese wine does not sting your eyes when you gulp it down directly from the barrel
10. regional dialects do not exist in wuxia
11. heroes never have to pay for damaged furniture in restaurants, brothels, etc. after a fight -- the owners are independently wealthy

Cause Siuyiu repeated point 12, I'll start at point 12
12. If you are the main protagonist, you will never die
13. if you find odd reptiles, odd snakes, etc. You probably should eat it to increase your internal energy!

14. There is always an adorable girl in the so-called Demon-Cult
15. Heck, in some cases the so-called Demon-Cult are just a bunch of misunderstood good guys.
16. On the contrary, the more famous the "Righteous School", the more likely it will have some bad guy who's protected by the overprotecting, stagnant-minded elders.
17. In some cases the big bad mastermind guy is likely the most famous, well known, "good guy" (if he's not the main hero).
18. If there's a Buddhist/Taoist Nun, likely she will be either bad tempered, or have some sad backstory for the forbidden love between her and the hero.

20. The hero hardly ever ends up with his childhood sweetheart / martial sister. In many cases, the childhood sweetheart / martial sister somehow marries the enemy and later dies tragically. On the bright side, the hero usually finds greener pastures out there (i.e., prettier /smarter / more suitable girl)

21. Poison. There will be lots of it, from hidden weapons to palm strikes that somehow infect the victim with poison. The most convenient plot device in all of wuxia.
22. But don't worry, there's a pill for that.
23. No matter how powerful the first foes the hero meets early on are, the foes at the end of the novel are way more powerful, to the point of making those earlier enemies seem like nothing, even if the hero hasn't learned much or any new wugong in the interim.
24. The hideouts of reclusive or mysterious martial artists are always lavishly furnished.
25. Wuxia characters apparently live off government pensions, because unless they work for an escort agency, they don't need to work.
26 What's that? Someone made a catty remark? Better fight to death.
27. But don't worry, someone will tell everyone to stop fighting because they have something to say, and that previous argument will subsequently be forgotten.

28. Every injury leads to blood spilling from the mouth. Be it poison, sword stabbed on the chest, got arrow hit on the back, got injured by deadly palms...there can be only one solution : blood vomiting from mouth.
29. Be careful of the pretty girls you're dating with. Perhaps they are your half sisters!
30. No matter how rich the heroes are, they apparently only have one or two clothes :S
31. Mantou is a staple food for a long journey

32. Every location is within walking distance, and you don't need any luggage.
