1963 V. Chu Ta ta, tan Tan i. 7 One of the most popular types of Chinese fiction is the wu hsia stories, in which valiant heroes, often outlaws expert in shadowboxing, help the poor and weak and punish the bullies and powerful.

1981 Amer. Jrnl. Legal Hist. 25 276 In early China, the ‘avenger’ might have been..what might be called a transferred principal—a friend, hireling, or sometime specialist in the prosecution of revenge (a wuxia).

1998 R. E. Hegel Reading Illustr. Fiction in Late Imperial China ii. 48 That trend coalesces with the conversion of these ‘military romances’ during the late Qing into wuxia fiction and plays and in the twentieth century into wuxia films.

2000 Internat. Herald-Tribune (Nexis) 11 Oct. 26 The world of the Wuxia—warriors of the Confucian era—is a world apart from society.

2004 Wired Aug. 62/1 Based on the mythical exploits of early swordsmen, wuxia has been a part of Asian cinema since the silent era, but most Westerners got their first taste from Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
