The Mount Hua Sect or Mount Hua School, also known as the Huashan Sect, is a fictional martial arts sect mentioned in several works of wuxia fiction. It is commonly featured as one of the leading orthodox sects in the wulin (martial artists' community). It is named after Mount Hua, where it is based. The sect appears in three of Jin Yong's novels.
There is a real-life Mount Hua Sect which has hardly any association with martial arts. It was founded in the Song dynasty by Hao Datong, one of the "Seven Immortals of Quanzhen", who also appears as a character in Jin Yong's Condor Trilogy. However, in wuxia fiction, these two sects do not have any connection.
