Wuxia (武俠), which literally means "martial heroes", is a genre of Chinese fiction concerning the adventures of martial artists in ancient China.

The heroes in wuxia fiction typically do not serve a lord, wield military power, or belong to the aristocratic class. They often originate from the lower social classes of ancient Chinese society. A code of chivalry usually requires wuxia heroes to right and redress wrongs, fight for righteousness, remove oppressors, and bring retribution for past misdeeds. Chinese xia traditions can be compared to martial codes from other cultures, such as the Japanese samurai bushido.

In contrast to Xianxia, Wuxia stories are based on real-life martial arts and cultivation of qi, which lead characters to have extraordinary strength. Xianxia on the other hand, is more fantastical and characters cultivate through Taoist practices.

Note: It is difficult to categorize Wuxia and Xianxia without haven't experienced the show, so there's likely some overlap or ambiguity in this Stack.

Chinese anime (AKA Donghua) that has adapted a Boy's Love source.

Bromance, Male-friendship, Ambiguous ambiance, Fujo-bait this time focusing on the non-japanese side (donghua and else).
Most of the entries are adapted from Danmei (BL) novel, but censorship kinda take out BL moments.
(male) Characters that have a strong moving emotional bond, fujoshi particularly enjoy.

Collection of all Wuxia and Martial Arts Donghua (only the first season entry)

Wuxia is all about Martial heroes/warriors in the Jianghu using martial arts and inner strength
There may be some fantasy elements, but those are fairly minimal compared to Xianxia/Xuanhuan

To be part of that list an anime (or donghua/aeni) needs:
-To be complete since at least 1 year.
-To be first serie adaptation of an anime OR of a remake. (no earlier prequel/parent story)
-To not be in top 1000 popularity.
-To have a popularity rank 5 times as high as its scoring rank minimum.

Donghua is the term used to refer to animation produced in China, encompassing all animated works but specifically referring to Chinese animation. Donghua adapts manhua comics and is often associated with 3D CG animation, although it can also use more standard anime-style animation.

All entries are based on popularity, views (audience), rating, quality, and my opinion.

All donghua in this interest stack are considered above-average or top-tier, animation and/or story-wise.

Some donghua on this list have not been watched by me but are generally well received.

I have generally excluded donghua with low-quality graphics (budget), but I would like to mention that they are by no means bad.
