Doãn Chí Bình, a character shrouded in myriad truths, yet this particular truth remains elusive to many.
For every aficionado of martial arts literature, especially Kim Dung's works, Doãn Chí Bình is a name etched in memory. Kim Dung vividly portrayed Doãn Chí Bình as a 'sinister seducer,' exploiting the moments when Tiểu Long Nữ was vulnerable to snatch her 'thousand gold' treasure.
However, an obscure truth about him, known to few, is that Doãn Chí Bình was a historical figure. In reality, the Daoist practitioner Toàn Chân Doãn Chí Bình differed significantly from the novel and cinematic depictions.
Historically, Doãn Chí Bình (1169 – 1251) lived during the Northern Song dynasty, concurrent with the events unfolding in Kim Dung's 'The Return of the Condor Heroes' and 'The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.' From a young age, Doãn Chí Bình exhibited a keen interest in Daoism, earning a reputation for intelligence. He possessed an extraordinary memory, capable of learning 1,000 characters in a single day.
Nevertheless, Doãn Chí Bình hailed from a family with a bureaucratic tradition. His father vehemently opposed his son becoming a Daoist, leading to several instances of confinement and restrictions on external interactions. In defiance of his father's ambitions for him to pursue an official career, Doãn Chí Bình repeatedly left home to seek teachings from renowned scholars. In 1182, he encountered Mã Ngọc, a Daoist of the Toàn Chân sect.
Toàn Chân sect was the most renowned spiritual school in ancient China, founded by Vương Trùng Dương (also a historical figure included in Jin Yong's novels). According to the History of Chinese Daoism, Doãn Chí Bình, known as Thanh Hòa Master, spread teachings in Western Peace and went to Buddha Mountain to care for the poor and sick. The young sage Doãn Chí Bình's reputation spread far and wide, earning him great respect.
Notably, the secret history of Mongolia records that in 1220, Doãn Chí Bình met Thành Cát Tư Hãn to discuss the art of longevity. He urged Thành Cát Tư Hãn to abandon killing for spiritual cultivation and a longer life, but the mighty ruler of Mongolia admitted his inability. However, later, Thành Cát Tư Hãn donated vast territories to the Whole Heart sect. Consequently, the Whole Heart sect flourished during the Song and Yuan dynasties.
In 1227, the leadership of the sect was passed on to Doãn Chí Bình, the most outstanding disciple of the third generation of the Whole Heart sect. At this point, Doãn Chí Bình was the most revered sage in all of China. His ethics and knowledge were respected by emperors from both the Song and Yuan dynasties. During the Mongol-Song war, Doãn Chí Bình focused on rescuing those in distress and stayed out of the conflict. He was renowned as a skilled healer, deeply loved by the people.
In 1238, despite the opposition of many disciples, Doãn Chí Bình resigned from leading the Whole Heart sect. He spent the rest of his life in seclusion, dedicated to studying Daoism. According to Sohu - a Chinese news outlet, Doãn Chí Bình was particularly fond of traveling and spreading teachings. He also contributed to the construction and restoration of over 100 Daoist temples in China. Doãn Chí Bình left behind the three volumes of 'Bảo Quang Collection,' advising people to actively do good and let go of desires. In contrast to the image novelist Kim Dung portrayed, he was a highly virtuous sage, indifferent to fame and especially uninterested in worldly pleasures.
During the 2003 Huashan Sword Discussion event, the late novelist Kim Dung was prevented from ascending the mountain by some Daoists affiliated with the West Tian Daoist Association, citing that his novels 'slandered Doãn Chí Bình.' The Daoist group claimed that the fictional humiliation of Xiao Long Nu was a serious tarnish on the historical reputation of Doãn Chí Bình, the renowned leader of the Whole Heart sect.
For this reason, in 2004, Kim Dung revised his original novels, changing the name Doãn Chí Bình to Chân Chí Bình. However, many readers opposed this change as they were accustomed to the name Doãn Chí Bình in the original work.
When we mention Doãn Chí Bình now, the image that comes to mind is the 'villain' who once created the most emotionally charged scene in Jin Yong's martial arts films. However, today, there are many young music remixes that lighten the portrayal of Doãn Chí Bình, making it more humorous.
