Chapter 68, The Inheritance of China

Jiang Qiang has returned home. At this time, his mother has prepared meals. After Jiang Qiang and his family finished eating, he told Tingting and several younger sisters, "You guys practice hard these days, and I will take you there then."

Visiting those martial arts seniors, Tingting asked if it was true. Jiang Qiang said that our Chinese martial arts are profound and profound, and what we learn is just superficial. Then I will take you to see what real martial arts is. Chinese martial arts are generally

It is for physical fitness, so most people seldom come out because this era does not allow it, and the Nanjing government does not support it, so this depends on our luck in Hongkou. I hope they can all come.

Shanghai is still in such a hurry, everyone is like a machine repeating the same process every day. Today, Tang Juwu took ten senior officials to the Shiliupu Pier in Shanghai to personally greet the first batch of martial arts people. At this time, we saw that our country

The cruise ship Qingdao slowly approached the pier. At this time, Gong Baotian asked his apprentice if there were high-ranking officials visiting Shanghai today. Why were there so many officials to greet them? The apprentice said, how about I ask those soldiers

Well, after a while, the apprentice came back and said, Master, General Tang Juwu is here to greet you personally. Master, those soldiers said, it is true that they are all the most important officials in Shanghai. Master, how do you think about your face?

So big. Haha. Gong Baotian said, you heard it right. The apprentice said, it must be right. He is really here to greet the master.

Gong Baotian said that this group of people is really not simple. Gong Baotian is from Rushan, Shandong. He is a boxer in the late Qing Dynasty and the last chief guard of the Qing Dynasty. Gong Baotian was called into the palace and served as the leader of the guards. He was awarded the title of fourth-grade sword-bearing guard.

He successively served as the close bodyguard of Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu, and was the last chief bodyguard of the Qing Dynasty. During the Gengzi period, the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China. Because of his ability to escort, Gong Baotian was awarded a yellow mantle. When he was a child, Gong Baotian often sent rice to the palace, so he was able to

He met Yin Fu, a favorite disciple of Dong Haichuan (the general manager of the Qing Dynasty and the founder of Bagua Youshen Lianlian Palm) who was in the nursing home of the palace. After many observations and studies, Yin Fu determined that Baotian was a rare talent for practicing Bagua Zhang, so he accepted him as his disciple.

In this way, at the age of 23, Baotian entered the palace and developed excellent kung fu, especially light kung fu, which was so exquisite that he was known as the "Gong Monkey".

Gong Baotian attended a private school when he was young. Due to his poor family, he was introduced to Beijing's Yuan Henry Zuifang (rice shop) as an apprentice at the age of 13. The owner of the store was Zhenghuangqilongpiao, and the rice was specially supplied to the princes' palaces. Gong Baotian often went to the princes' palaces.

As a gift of rice, I got to know Yin Fu (also known as Xiupeng), a favorite disciple of Dong Haichuan (the founder of Bagua Youshen Lianlian Palm) who was nursing in the palace. After many observations and studies, Yin Fu determined that Baotian was a rare talent for practicing Bagua Zhang, so he led Baotian

He went to meet his teacher Dong Haichuan. This was the first time that Gong Baotian met his master Dong Haichuan. Dong Haichuan held his hand and looked at it up and down, and said repeatedly: "Rare, rare!" He repeatedly told Yin Fu to cultivate carefully. From then on, Gong Baotian

He quit his job at Mihang and became Yin Fu's apprentice. Yin Fu took great care of Gong Baotian's life, and required him to practice the basic skills in a down-to-earth manner. Master Yin took care of every move.

Teaching, repeated corrections, and thousands of drills. It is said that Master Yin gave Baotian a wooden bowl every day. If the wooden bowl was not filled with sweat, he could not stop practicing. There were many masters and uncles in Baotian. They were moved by the young man's intelligence and perseverance.

He was willing to teach him his unique skills. Five years later, because of his diligent study and practice, his martial arts improved rapidly. He was chosen by Dong Haichuan and personally taught the Bagua secret sect and the Bagua boxing manual, becoming the second generation of the authentic Bagua Youshen Lianzhang.

Successor. In this way, at the age of twenty-three, Baotian had already entered the palace and practiced excellent kung fu, especially light kung fu, which was so exquisite that he was known as the "Gong Monkey".

In 1905, Gong Baotian, who saw clearly the corruption and incompetence of the Qing government and was disillusioned with fame and fortune, resigned due to illness and returned to his hometown where he had been away for more than 20 years. He stayed in the village for 17 years and lived in seclusion. Later, he responded to the request of the villagers.

, in this village and Haiyang Guocheng area, Baguazhang Kung Fu was taught, and there was an endless stream of people who came to seek the skills. In 1922, the Northeast warlord Zhang Zuolin invited Gong Baotian to be the martial arts coach of Fengjun, and actually made Gong Baotian do it.

His own bodyguard. When they first met, Zhang saw that Zhang was thin and not outstanding in appearance, so he suspected that his martial arts skills were fraudulent. He had a glimpse of Zhang's mind and was willing to compete with him, so he stepped back twenty steps and asked Zhang to shoot him. He is said to have hundreds of marksmanship skills.

Zhang Zuolin, who was about to extinguish the incense, fired two shots in succession, but missed. When he was about to look for another shot, he heard Gong Baotian say behind him: "If I want to kill the commander-in-chief, I don't need the commander-in-chief to turn around."

Zhang admired him so much that he appointed him as the patrol envoy to the three eastern provinces and the chief coach of the Fengjun Army. Under Zhang Zuolin, he protected Zhang Zuolin many times in the troubles caused by the Japanese. In the spring of 1928, Gong Baotian was ordered to stay in Peiping to guard Zhang Xueliang. 1928

In the Huanggutun Incident of 1988, Zhang Zuolin was killed by the Japanese. Gong Baotian, who was not accompanying him, was very sad after hearing the news. Later, when Zhang Xueliang withdrew his troops and marched westward, he resigned and returned to his hometown for the second time.

What I didn't expect was that General Tang Juwu, who was well-known overseas, came to greet him in person. At this time, the apprentice also stepped forward to pack his master's luggage. After a while, the ship docked. At this time, General Tang Juwu

No, no security guard was set up. He was still wearing a Tang suit. He, District Chief Cao, Gao Qiming, and Luo Tiangang were waiting for the martial arts people in the last row. At this time, the reporter seemed to feel that the opportunity had come.

They immediately gathered around and saw that it was really General Tang Juwu, as if he was waiting for someone.

Those reporters didn't just wait there. This was big news, and there were a lot of bonuses coming back this time. Those reporters couldn't help but feel proud. In a short while, about fifty representatives of the martial arts disembarked from the ship. At this time, Tang Ju

The fifth general stepped forward to greet him and asked loudly, "Master Gong Baotian is in front of me. Gong Baotian couldn't possibly put on airs and walked forward quickly. It's none other than Gong Baotian. Hello, Master Gong. I'm Tang Ju."

Five, welcome to Shanghai. Welcome. At this time, I will hold Gong Baotian’s hand and become an old friend after many years of separation. Gong Baotian said, thank you General Tang. What I didn’t expect was that General Tang would come to pick me up in person. I’m ashamed. Please.

, At this time Tang Juwu said, Master Gong, this is our district chief Cao of Hongkou District, this is the director of the Bureau of Land and Resources Luo Tiangang, this is director Gao Qiming, Gong Baotian said, thank you for your help, thank you for meeting us at this time.

, a little girl came over and called, Uncle Tang, I am Yanzimen Li Xian’s apprentice is Li Yunxin. At this time, Tang Juwu came over and said, Jinan Yanzimen, your ancestor is

Yanzi Li San and Li Yunxin were extremely excited at this time. Tang Juwu said, you are also an orphan, so since you call me uncle, I, as an uncle, must also show some respect, otherwise the master of the palace will definitely ask for help when he returns.

You are laughing at me. At this time, you took off the watch on your hand, and took 5,000 yuan with the guard. He took Li Yunxin's hand and said, this is a little thought from being an uncle. Don't refuse, I know your sect, your

Master Li Xian Master Li lives in the world and cares about the country. The Shimen Incident showed Master Li's broadmindedness. As Fan Zhongyan said, if you live high in a temple, you worry about its people; if you live far away in the world, you worry about your king. Even if you advance, you will also worry.

Retreating is also worrying. He can be called a hero of his generation.

At this time, Gong Baotian heard General Tang Juwu commenting on a martial arts person. This was something he had never expected, so he said to Li Yunxin, just accept it. Your master is also a great person. At this time,

Li Yunxin shed tears. Tang Juwu said, this is not like our Hua Mulan. Remember, there is an Uncle Tang here in Shanghai. Take it. At this time, all the martial arts people are extremely excited.

Li Yunxin was embarrassed at this time. She was just a little naughty. She took Tang Juwu's gift and called her uncle. Tang Juwu said to Gong Baotian, "Please."

At this time, after two buses brought more than fifty people to the stadium, Tang Juwu said that this is a community in the stadium that can accommodate more than 800 people. There are security guards here, and there is the canteen.

, In front is the training venue and the competition venue. Master Gong, you can see that you are satisfied. At this time, Gong Baotian is simply too happy to live here. The people in Shanghai are so thoughtful. Tang Juwu came to a villa and said

, this apartment is for you, Master Gong, to live in. This is a three-story small bungalow. Master Gong, you can choose one or two to live with you. At this time, Tang Juwu was very caring, and then said to Yun Xin, "Yun Xin."

Xin, you and your senior brother live in this villa. It is also on the third floor, but it is a little smaller. Li Yunxin said, thank you, uncle. The others all moved into the room accompanied by the staff. General Tang Juwu said, Master Gong will do it tomorrow.

I'm here to help you. There is still a little matter to deal with today. Gong Baotian said, thank you General Tang for your meticulous arrangements. Thank you.

Tang Juwu and the government staff had all left. Gong Baotian said that he did not expect that their arrangements were so detailed and that they did everything. These people are not simple. At this time, Li Yunxin walked into the villa where she lived.

I was startled and screamed. The two senior brothers immediately came over and asked, junior sister, what's wrong? Senior brothers, look at this place, it's so luxurious. Look, there's a radio, a kitchen, and a window here.

They are all made of glass. Wow, it is so luxurious. There is also a small courtyard here. I like it so much. Really, Li Yunlong was also surprised. What he didn't expect was that his little junior sister was just naughty. He didn't expect that his little junior sister was just naughty.

That General Tang really treated his junior sister as his niece.

This time the Swallow Gate stole the show, and he did not expect such treatment. Li Yunxin was looking for his own room, and Li Yunfei. In a few days, Tang Juwu and Master Gong went to the pier to greet Ye Man, the successor of Wing Chun from Foshan.

, the traditional "poor literature and rich martial arts", martial arts must be taught by words and deeds, and a famous teacher can bring up at most several disciples in his life. According to Liang Ting's oral account, when Ip Man worshiped Chen Huashun as his teacher to study Wing Chun, the tuition fee was twelve taels of gold. Usually the master

After teaching the disciples one or a whole set of movements from the posture to the artistic conception, the mental method is taught. This "mental method" contains a summary of the movement and the core key points. A whole set of martial arts from top to bottom, from outside to inside, the training process

It ranges from ten years to eight years, and ranges from thirty to fifty years, which is a constant. Often a set of nearly perfect martial arts needs to be supported and passed down by several generations or even more than a dozen generations before it can be achieved. Ip Man, as a descendant of an old-style family, was able to inherit it.

It is said that when he later lived in Hong Kong, he had disciples from all walks of life, ranging from officials and gentry to ordinary people. In order to adapt to and benefit everyone, he adapted the original profound and profound "intellectual methods" (such as two dragons playing with beads, a divine dragon waving its tail, and a white crane).

Spreading wings, hungry tigers catching sheep, swallows pumping water...) have been changed into simple and popular movement names, such as spread, palm, shoulder, crouch, hold, beat, etc., making Wing Chun the most simple and clear, popular and easy to use.

way to understand.

However, Ip Man's teaching of boxing has its language limitations. Ip Man himself is from Nanhai (Nanhai County), and his Cantonese is Cantonese. There are difficulties in language communication with Teochew accent, so "even the Teochew people don't teach it."

". Ip Man adheres to the traditional thinking and does not teach purely for fame and fortune; the disciples he teaches must try their best to make them clear and transparent before they can practice. Even so, when Ip Man teaches disciples in Hong Kong, he still adheres to the principle of "teaching boxing, teaching

The gradual stage process of "teaching horses and footwork" can range from three to five years at a time, to ten or eight years at a more advanced level, or even without teaching for a lifetime. In addition, many of Ip Man's early disciples were those who received modern higher education.

Using modern educational ideas and language, Wing Chun was gradually spread. When Ip Man was young, he often competed with his second senior brother Wu Zhongsu, and Wu Zhongsu gave him guidance on Wing Chun techniques. The talented and intelligent Ip Man did not disappoint his senior brother. Within a few years,

His martial arts skills have greatly improved. Why Ip Man chose Wing Chun is like a mysterious choice. There is a saying in Wing Chun that Wing Chun was created by women, and it is not at all like the domineering style of Hong Quan.

The feminine side of Bagua Quan is that this type of boxing involves close combat, using techniques such as spreading, palming, lying down, and beating as the main techniques.

At this time, Shanghai can be said to be one of the largest cities in the world. Apart from Washington in the United States, London in the United Kingdom, and Berlin in Germany, Shanghai is the largest. At this time, Ye Wen was also surprised. He did not expect that this time

Shanghai was so prosperous, and what he didn't expect was that General Tang Juwu would come to greet him in person. At this time, Ye Wen was just a martial arts master. Then he also lived in the same community, and ten junior brothers were led by Song Bai of Wudang.

Disciples of the Shaolin Sect, at this time Shaolin has been burned by three friends.

Celebrities in the martial arts circle who came to Shanghai include Zhang Sanjia, who was the champion in martial arts in the 24th year of Guangxu's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1898) and was the last champion in martial arts in the history of China's imperial examinations.

Han Muxia, a master of Xingyiquan and Baguazhang, had studied martial arts with Zhang Zhankui, Ying Wentian and other nine masters, and learned from hundreds of schools to become unique. Han Muxia was knowledgeable in hundreds of schools of thought and was personally taught by nine famous masters.

On the basis of inheritance, he deliberately innovated, blending Xingyi, Bagua, etc.; he also integrated Northern and Southern Baguazhang into one, making him unique and excellent in art. Beijing, Tianjin and the Northeastern provinces competed to recruit and teach, and he became a busy man. Others

Some famous martial arts masters also rushed to come and become their disciples. For a time, Han Muxia's martial arts hall was full of people coming and going. Behind Han Muxia were a daughter, Han Xiaoxia, and a son, Han Shaoxia.

Guo Yunshen, named Yusheng, was a famous martial arts master in the late Qing Dynasty. Guo Yunshen practiced boxing when he was young, and later became a teacher of Mr. Nengran. He practiced day and night for decades, and mastered the essence of Xingyiquan. Guo Yunshen later developed a unique skill of half

Bu Beng Quan is famous for his "half-step Beng Quan that hits all over the world". Guo Yunshen was very famous in the martial arts community at that time. His boxing practice was as quiet as Mount Tai and as moving as a flying bird. If something unexpected happens, as long as he hears and sees it,

No matter how fast the opponent's fist is, he can avoid it. One time, Guo Yunshen wanted to try his own skills. He asked five strong men to each hold a wooden stick and put one end of it against Guo Yunshen's abdomen. Guo Yunshen turned his waist and beat the five of them.

Zhang Kaiwai. He conducted systematic research and summary on the theory of Xingyiquan, and wrote the book "Neng Shuo Xingyiquan Sutra".

Xu Shichang, the governor of the three eastern provinces, had heard about Sun Lutang's martial arts for a long time, so he hired him as a guest and went to the Northeast with him. In 1909, Sun returned to Beijing with Xu. In 1912, Sun Lutang met Hao Weizhen, a famous Tai Chi master in Beijing. Hao passed on his Tai Chi experience.

Yu Sun Lutang. At this time, Sun Lutang had outstanding martial arts, high moral prestige, and was well-known in the capital. In 1918, Sun Lutang finally merged the three schools into one, integrated them, reformed the past, and created the Sun Style Tai Chi, which became a brand of his own. In the same year, Xu Shichang invited Sun Lutang to join the Presidential Palace and served as Wuxuan.

Official. In March 1928, the Nanjing Central Martial Arts Museum was established, and Sun was hired as the head of the Wudang sect of the museum. In July, he was hired as the deputy director and academic director of the Jiangsu Martial Arts Museum. In his later years, Sun Lutang was surrounded by great powers.

The national power was declining and the nation was in peril. In the face of foreign aggression, Sun Dayi was awe-inspiring. When he was nearly fifty years old, he knocked out the famous Russian fighter Petrov who challenged him. When he was over sixty, he defeated the great samurai Itagaki Kazuo appointed by the Japanese Emperor.

, in his seventies, he once again defeated the joint challenge of five Japanese technical masters, so he is well known in the martial arts world as the best in the world.

He has been teaching boxing all his life and has traveled all over the country. At the age of seventy, he was appointed as the head of the Wudang Gate of the Central Chinese Martial Arts Center, and later became the dean of the Jiangsu Provincial Chinese Martial Arts Center.

Li Chuanwen's descendants Li Dongtang, Li Etang, and Li Yitang all came to Shanghai. Li Shuwen (1862-1934), courtesy name Tongchen, was a native of Wangnanliang Village in the southeast of Cangzhou. He was good at spears and was nicknamed "Sharp Spear Li Shuwen".

The third martial arts master. In 1895, Yuan Shikai was training at a small station in the southern suburbs of Tianjin. Li Shuwen's master Huang Sihai recommended him to serve in the army. The Japanese instructor Taro Ito next to Yuan Shikai said with contempt that Li Shuwen was "the big sick man of East Asia"!

In anger, Li Shuwen and Taro Ito started a duel in the martial arts hall. Li Shuwen flicked his big gun, knocking the knife out of Taro Ito's hand, and then shot "Loach Turn Flower", piercing Ito's throat, and then fired another big gun.

With one pick, he threw his body outside the martial arts hall. The other three Japanese instructors present, Akino, Inoue, and Noda, rushed over. Li Shuwen shook the big gun, stabbed left and right, flying up and down. Wherever the gun hit, blood and flesh flew everywhere.

Within a few rounds, these Japanese instructors were stabbed to death by Li Shuwen's big gun. In 1910, the Russian boxing champion Malotov came to China, set up a ring in Peking, and openly insulted our Chinese people. Li Shuwen was ordered by his teacher to go to Beijing.

Fighting with Malotov. Seeing that Li Shuwen was thin and withered on the stage, Malotov spat in contempt. Li Shuwen was furious and punched Malotov with thunderous force. Malotov's ribs were immediately damaged.

He broke a few of them and staggered out of the ring.

Most of the martial arts masters of this period had practiced Kung Fu for decades and mastered the essence of traditional Chinese martial arts. When facing the invasion of foreign enemies, they bravely stood up to serve their country and their country. This is the real hero. As Sima Qian wrote:

The great thing is to serve the country and the people! This is our Chinese heritage for thousands of years.
