"Legend" has had a great influence on future generations, playing an important role in the history of Chinese novels and even literature. It has had a huge impact on the ideological conception and creative methods of later novels and operas. The shadow of "Legend" can even be seen in today's fantasy literature and fantasy dramas in the film and television industry that are popular on the Internet. "Kunlun Slave" and "Nie Yinniang" became the origins of later martial arts novels and operas: Yang Jingyan's drama "Mo Le Steals the Red Thread" in the Yuan Dynasty, the unknown Southern Opera "Mo Le Steals the Red Thread", the Ming Dynasty Mei Ding Zuo's legend "Kunlun Slave Swordsman Becomes an Immortal", Liang Chenyu's legend "Red Ribbon Girl's Sign Language Conveying Love", Song Dynasty's vernacular novel "Xishan Nie Yinniang", Qing Dynasty's You Dong's legend "Black and White Guard", etc.
