Thank you for the answer, very interesting and much appreciated.
So I suppose that something like the Judge Dee recent trilogy of movies is closer to Wuxia than stories with a lot of supernatural creatures, then? Would the Sherlock Holmes movies with Robert Downey Jr. qualify as Wuxia, too (especially the first one)?
Also, I find the concept of Wuxia (as "excellence") quite interesting in itself. Would you say it is somehow close to Arete in Ancient Greece? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arete
