What is the origin of Huashan School in Jin Yong's novels?

Huashan School can be traced back to the Qin and Han Dynasties, and it is one of the schools of martial arts novels and Xianxia novels. It was described in 1958 Longsheng Wo's masterpiece "Flying Swallows to Surprise Dragons", and it was listed among the "Nine Schools".

The Huashan School written by Jin Yong was originally the strongest among the Five Mountains Sword Schools, but Su Yue and Cai Zifeng, two predecessors of the Huashan School, were able to get a glimpse of the unique martial arts secret book "Sunflower Collection".

But because they recited the front and back parts respectively, they didn't match, which led to the division between them. One school advocates cultivating Qi and teaching disciples to rebuild Qi, while the other thinks that Huashan School is divided into two schools: Sword and Qi. The two families have their own opinions, and finally they are incompatible. Master casualties exhausted, Huashan decline.
