Supplemental context
This entry is the television adaptation, not the earlier novel or every work based on it. The linked account identifies Yang Jie’s production and its literary source. Future readers can compare acting, music and episodic storytelling with the novel while preserving the exact television version and credits.
Creator/community: Yang Jie and television cast and production collaborators Place/era: China; adaptation commonly identified as the 1986 television series
Context and limits
The original repetition claim is not independently counted here. The blank television, walking staff and mountain view are invented context, not sacred figures, costumes, genuine props or a verified filming site. The original date label is retained without replacing the production’s fuller chronology.
