Editing Wuxia (section)

== Notable Wuxia Sect/Factions featured in novels ==
*Wudang Sect(武當派) - Named after the place it's based: Wudang Mountain, it often featured as a leader of all orthodox sects in the wulin alongside Shaolin. The members of Wudang followed Taoist belief and pecialized in Taiji(太極) related martial arts like "taijiquan(太極拳)" or "taijijian(太極劍)", which specialized in overcome their opponent's brute force with softness (like yin and yan). Wudang has the best "inner energy" skills and qinggong among the wulin. It was founded by Zhang Sanfeng(張三丰), a real life legendary Taoist who invented Taiji. A definite creator's pet faction in most Wuxia novel since most MC were of a Wudang Wuxia.
*Shaolin Sect(少林派) - Your typical bald Buddhist martial artist. The sect contain only monk with strict rule that they are all vegetarian and no womans, marriages allowed. For martial arts, they have a variety of palm strike martial arts as a resemblance to their god Buddha as well as other art of self healing and self hardening.   
*[[House Cawdor|Beggars' Sect]](丐幫) - Literal beggar gang that can use martial arts! They are also the largest sect of all thanks to the poor economy in ancient China and are very good at inormation gathering (because beggars are frigging everywhere). Not all members are beggars since they have a hierarchy of those with dirty clothing or clean clothing. Since members are not limited to only beggars, people from all walks of life, including scholars and soldiers, join the sect. As such, the sect's martial arts are rather diverse and you can find a member of beggar's sect that can use the martial arts from other sects. They do have their own unique martial arts however, like the "Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms (降龍十八掌)" and the "Dog Beating Staff Technique (打狗棒法)". The sect's chief knows both of the martial arts with the later staff technique known only to him (not the other members, even the elders) and had to be personally passed down from chief to his/her successors.
*[[Sisters of Battle|Emei Sect]](峨嵋派) - An [[Sisters of Battle|female only martial artist sect]] founded by a Buddhist nun. Located in real life Mount Emei (峨眉山), the sect was founded by Guo Xiang(郭襄). Her father is Guo Jing(郭靖), a well known Wuxia hero of the northern China. She escaped a deadly conflict with a legendary sword known as "the Heaven Reliant Sword"(倚天劍) and become a great Youxia in the jianghu. She founded the sect  around the same time as the Wudang Sect at the designated location after become a nun at age 40. She also possessed a powerful manual that contained many godly martial arts known as Jiuyin Zhenjing(九阴真经). Like Wudang, Emei's skills have two sides to them, encompassing elements of "roughness" and "softness", "long range" and "short range" attacks, all in the same style of fighting. They rotate between deceptive and direct attacks and can be used effectively by women to overcome opponents who are physically stronger than them. Some movements in Emei's swordplays are feminine in nature and are named after ancient Chinese beauties and Chinese idioms used to describe feminine beauty. Often the heroine's main sect in most Wuxia novel.
