It is also meaningful that Mr. Jin Yong borrowed the Buddhist "eight guardian deities" to name him. Each of the eight guardian deities has its own distinct characteristics. The eight guardian deities mainly represent the eight characters in "Eight Dragons", corresponding to: Qiao Feng, Duan Yu , Xuzhu , Murong Fu , Kumozhi , Youtanzhi , Ding Chunqiu , Duan Zhengchun .

He was a Khitan, but for the sake of peace between Song and Liao, he did not hesitate to threaten the emperor of his own country, making him swear never to break Song's promise, and he committed suicide at Yanmen Pass because of his apology.
Therefore, Jin Yong used the name of Buddhism's "Eight Parts", not only the title of "Dragon Babu" comes from Buddhism, but also the whole text itself reveals the feelings of Buddhist compassion and compassion, which profoundly reveals the internal factors of "tragedy of fate" .
