Case Review
Original writing · hindsight review · anchored in known history, viewed through chart structure
Seven Killings and Direct Resource are both revealed, signifying a pioneer's boldness and deep cultural grounding. Looking back on Jin Yong founding Ming Pao and building a jianghu universe across fifteen wuxia novels: the Seven Killings is the self-made founding of a newspaper, the Direct Resource his deep learning in history and literature, and “the greatest hero serves the nation and the people” is the spirit of Resource and Killings generating each other.
With Water at 2 and Wood at 2, his ideas flow freely; his jianghu holds both the thrill of personal vendettas and concern for family and nation — this may be read here.
This is a cultural retrospective at the level of three pillars, not a fatalistic judgment.

This case is for traditional-culture study only, not a judgment of any historical figure; schools of interpretation differ, and these conclusions claim no exclusive truth.
