This article demonstrates virtue spiritualization of JinYong's view of moral outlook ,namely, men and women's moral standard should lie in spiritual virtue persistence. Respecting"imagearacter"and"plot/statement"of his romance, an integrative analysis is conducted which based on his"one man with several women --style"romance in literatus .In his love story ,《The Legendary Couple》the main two character's perfect love was achieved on the premise of YangGuo's careless about XiaoLongNv's lose of chastity, but in fact, if we adduce"ardor"which jinyong often uses to comprehend this story again, it is not hard to find out that YangGuo has ardor with other women besides XiaoLongNv while XiaoLongNv has no feelings towards other men except yangguo .Mentally, XiaoLongNv is apparently more loyalty than YangGuo does.In his other novels, heroines also persist their mental chastity towards their heroes, the common characteristic lies in they has no idea of male and famale's sensibility until they meet their heroes; As soon as they do ,they are fascinated by their heroes thereafter, no matter what difficulties they might encounter or how rough it is to get together, they are all out of the question to fall in love with any other man .Wangyuyan who appears in《TianLongBaBu》experienced path of"flatter herself that she was in love"and then struggle between"reason"and"affection"and"repend to the hero"at last, from here, we can also see the heroines in his novel has been incurring strict mental virtue. In《LudDngJi》,WeiXiaoBao's seven wives never have affairs with other men except himself no matter what are their characteristics and in what kind of situation, from which we can see that even if in his very spectial writing ,he still insists on this moral virtue.Seen from this angle, after LingHuChong --the hero from the novel 《Xiao'ao JiangHu》taking in charge of hengshan,we will discover this"HengShan"is a reflection of JinYong's affection point of view .the writer initially make up his mind to figure out a dissipater but finally turned out to be the one that has the least ardor., the real dissipater TianBoGuang was castrated and become a eunuch at last, therefore ,from this point ,we can draw a conclusion that JinYong has a strict demand of men's passional control as well and by no means allow the characters he creates possess a character of meddling. furthermore ,as for women's passion, it is only being encouraged when they are facing males they adore.JinYong's moral lookout of affection is a traditional point of view, this passion view has been approved unconsciously long time ago which indeed requires our self-questioning.
