63. There's no police in jianghu. While in society they had police, and even doctor who could perform a simple autopsy (reference from the book Outlaw of the Marsh)

64. Usually when people jump/fall off a cliff, not only they survive, but they may find divine martial art books.

65. People could not recognize even their spouses or friends who wore masks on their faces. In reality, people could always recognize the people they are familiar with only by the eyes!

66. Detoxification is done differently in regards of the character's gender. If it's between males usually it involves antidotes or chi passing in a minimal contact manner. If it's between a male and female it always involves an embarrassing matter such as clothes being taken off or blood sucking by the male. (Exception: If it's two males and the victim is an elder master, sucking poison blood initiates the trope where the elder will be moved and some powerful martial art will be passed.)

This is so TRUE lol.

Well, I really don't mind if for example Guo Jing have to suck the blood from Huang Rong or his masters. But think I would

if I have to see GJ sucks Yang Kang's blood on his shoulder, or on his knee.

67. The Western frontier is a romantic place, whether a border town or just beyond the pass. Sometimes, the daughter of some ethnic minority chieftain will show you interest. Just don't get involved in more than one.

68. Generally, only emperors and dukes can have more than one wife.

69. Venomous toads and poisonous creatures are good to eat. They make you immune to poison and sometimes increase your internal strength a hundred times.

70. The lack of Vitamin D is no problem in ancient China. Even without sunlight and dairy products, you can survive in a tomb, a dark dungeon or prison for decades, no problem. You can even live on red dates or nectar alone.

71. It's generally easier to become a top swordsman or pugilist by training with a long-lost manual than with a shifu.

A "Grand Constable" of several provinces still has free time to personally inspect cases and ignore his daily work.

73. in an era when beautiful women were three inches feet, jianghu's most beautiful woman such as Zhao Zhiruo and her martial art sisters didn't have golden lotus feet. Otherwise, how could they jump and walk back and forth from Emei Mountain to Wudang Mountain as if it's just an easy walk?

74. the Beggar Clan's members, although they're beggars, they've always had money to buy wine.

62. If you are the hero, you will survive everything--the most deadly toxin, attacks by 99 assassins, even a nuclear holocaust. If you're not the hero, you can get killed just by walking into an inn, or choke to death on tofu.

I love this line!

The hero or heroine always rescued by an older hero or heroine and they become disciple and master*(Sifu). The older person is usually the one with great levels of Kung Fu but downplayed as a solitary hermit and living in recluse and incognito.
