"Really?" Xiao Ai was stunned by what I said, and she obviously didn't believe it. Seeing her like this, I smiled bitterly, then touched her head and said to her: "There is nothing suspicious about this. I
I remember, a long time ago, I read a book. In that book, there was a lot of introduction to Zhang Sanfeng. If I remember correctly,
According to the description in the book, there are rumors that Patriarch Sanfeng learned Taoism from Lu Chunyang (Lu Dongbin) and was taught boxing by Emperor Zhenwu himself. When he was more than ninety years old, he died once, and then suddenly died again.
After surviving, I have done all kinds of awesome things in this life, otherwise, how could I be such a strange person?"
"Who is Lu Chunyang?" After hearing this, Ding Ling also became interested.
"That's Lu Dongbin." Before I could answer, Gui Gui, who was looking around, suddenly interrupted.
"Gui Gui is right, it's Lu Dongbin. Lu Dongbin has a very high status in Taoism, especially in the Northern sect, and is the head of the Five Patriarchs. According to legend, this man has great ability to manifest clones. Many Taoist masters have
He was the one who prompted me. Remember what I told you about 'playing with bangs like a golden toad'?
Story, that Liu Haier is one of Lu Dongbin's disciples. It is precisely because Zhang Sanfeng had such a chance with him that a branch called the Chunyang Sect was divided within the Wudang Sect, which only relied on martial arts attainments.
Speaking from a technical point of view, Chunyang Sect’s martial arts is indeed somewhat unique.”
"Isn't the Wudang Sect just the Wudang Sect? Does it have branches?" Xiao Ai, who didn't know much about Chinese martial arts, was obviously a little confused after hearing this.
Seeing her curious look, I smiled and said, "Of course it's different. The Wudang Sect is a very general concept. Specifically, it consists of many branches. They all respect Zhang Sanfeng as their founder. However, because
The mastery of techniques is different, because
However, in many cases, many schools can be subdivided, such as Longmen Sect, Zhenwu Sect, Chunyang Sect, Sanfeng Sect, etc., etc., there are many masters in the Eight Hundred Miles Wudang Mountain, Guang Tai Chi
This one thing has spawned hundreds of different versions."
"Zhang Sanfeng didn't create Tai Chi. I said it on TV." Xiao Ai suddenly felt a little confused and corrected him.
"What you said is wrong. It should be said that the Tai Chi that is popular now was not created by Zhang Sanfeng. The version you saw must say that Tai Chi was learned by Qi Jiguang when General Chen Wangting retired in the late Ming Dynasty.
It was created by the "Twenty-Four Styles of the Boxing Sutra". This is correct, because Taiyuan is now widely circulated.
Tai Chi is divided into four schools, Chen Wangting’s Chen family, Yang Luchan’s Yang family, Wu Jianquan’s Wu family, and modern martial arts master Sun Lutang’s Sun family. These four schools actually originated from the same family, and all learned Tai Chi from the Chen family.
Derived from it, so the martial arts community agrees that Chenjiagou is the birthplace of Tai Chi.”
"Yes, yes!" Xiao Ai said after nodding.
"However, this statement is not entirely correct." I said, smiled, and then picked up a branch on the roadside and explained: "Tai Chi is divided into two parts. Although Chen Jiaquan combines Yin and Yang Yili,
In the earliest times, there was no name for Tai Chi. It was Zhang Sanfeng who really called Tai Chi. According to the ancients, this name still has its origin.
What is more recognized by experts is that Zhang Sanfeng combined Wudang Wujiquan, Wudang Taihequan, and Liangyi acupuncture techniques to form the three fists into one, creating the thirteen Tai Chi postures. Many people do not agree with this matter, but,
It does exist, for example, many of the guiding theories of Tai Chi come from the hands of some martial arts masters who have nothing to do with Chen Family Tai Chi."
"For example?" As if she didn't agree with what I said, Xiao Ai blinked and asked.
"For example, Wang Zongyue, Zhang Songxi." I said, shook my head and sighed.
"It looks so complicated..." Maybe it was because there were too many unfamiliar names. Xiao Ai wrinkled her little face as if she was very confused. Seeing her like this, I snickered. People say that she has big breasts and no brains, but
It’s not easy for someone with a flat chest to be so stupid. As I was thinking about it, Ding Ling suddenly poked me and brought the topic back: "Husband, are you saying that Zhang Sanfeng is the longest-lived person in history?"
"I didn't say." I said, shook my head, thought carefully for a while and explained: "There is no consensus on how old Zhang Sanfeng lived. It is generally believed that he lived at least more than a hundred years old and at most less than 300 years old.
, as for the specific number,
No one can say it accurately. If we look at the average, the age of over 200 is still relatively recognized. However, although this age is scary, it is not necessarily the most awesome. I remember that in the early Republic of China, there were
An old man lived for 256 years.
"256 years old!?" Xiao Ai said, with a look of shock on his face, then covered his mouth and chuckled: "Ah, after living for such an old age, you are not an old monster!?"
"No, they are living well." I said, rolled my eyes and thought about it, and then explained it to them leisurely.
The person I mentioned actually existed. His name was "Li Qingyuan".
According to legend, Li Qingyuan was born in 1677 and died in 1933, with a lifespan of 256 years. Some relevant reports mentioned that he was a scholar of traditional Chinese medicine in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties and a famous longevity old man in the world. Legend has it that he was 100 years old.
When he was young, he received a special award from the government for his outstanding achievements in traditional Chinese medicine. He claimed that when he was 200 years old, he still often lectured at universities. During this period, he also received visits from many Western scholars.
The most enviable thing is that this guy has a total of 24 wives and 180 descendants. The New York Times and Time Magazine even made special reports on it at that time. According to this era, he should have been born in the 16th year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty.
, successively passed through the nine dynasties of Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong, Jiaqing, Daoguang, Xianfeng, Tongzhi, Guangxu, Xuantong and the Republic of China. He lived for 256 years and is one of the extremely rare longevity stars in the world.
As for its authenticity, it is difficult to say. Most people think that this person is a wonderful doctor from a family of traditional Chinese medicine, who is well versed in health preservation and Qi training methods. Some people think that this person was deliberately fabricated for this purpose.
To deceive the world and steal the name. Because I have never seen it, so it is
Whether it is true or false is in between, but given the current conditions, you can still find his "health tips" in many places. The discussion in the book has a strong traditional color, and if nothing else is mentioned,
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine theory alone, it still has some research value.
