Is it a "Western stereotype of the Oriental" if it's also been part of Chinese culture since time immemorial?

  It's a Western stereotype of the Orient if one aspect of Chinese culture is exaggerated and blown out of proportion to the point of caricature.

    "exaggerated to the point of caricature" is de rigeur for wuxia.

      "exaggerated to the point of caricature" maybe the de rigeur for wuxia, but it is still just "one aspect of Chinese culture" and just one aspect of Chinese martial arts culture.
