Xingyiquan is one of the traditional Chinese martial arts, and its origins can be traced back to ancient martial arts schools. However, there has been controversy about whether Xingyi Quan originated from Ruyi Fist. This article will look at the relationship between Xingyi Quan and Ruyi Fist from many aspects.
1. Historical background.
Xingyi Quan and Ruyi Quan are both traditional Chinese martial arts schools, and their historical background and origins can be traced back to ancient times. According to historical records, Xingyi Quan originated in the late Ming Dynasty, while Ruyi Quan originated in the early years of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, from the perspective of time, there is no direct inheritance relationship between Xingyi Quan and Ruyi Boxing.
Second, technical characteristics.
Xingyi Quan and Ruyi Quan also have great differences in technical characteristics. Xingyi Quan pays attention to both internal and external training, emphasizing the coordination and unity of body method, footwork, technique, eye method, etc., and pays attention to the combination of actual combat and attack and defense. Ruyi Boxing, on the other hand, pays more attention to the flexibility of body and footwork, and pays attention to the technical characteristics of overcoming rigidity and turning enemies into friends. Therefore, from the point of view of technical characteristics, there is no obvious inheritance relationship between Xingyi Quan and Ruyi Boxing.
3. Inheritance relationship.
Although Xingyiquan and Ruyiquan have no obvious inheritance relationship in terms of historical background and technical characteristics, there is also a certain connection between them. Some martial artists believe that Xingyi Quan and Ruyi Quan are similar in some aspects, such as they both focus on the coordination and unity of body and footwork, and pay attention to the combination of actual combat and attack and defense. In addition, some schools of form-meaning boxing have also absorbed the technical characteristics of Ruyiquan, for example, some schools of form-meaning boxing pay attention to the flexibility and variety of body and footwork when Xi, and pay attention to the technical characteristics of overcoming rigidity and turning enemies into friends. Therefore, it can be said that there is a certain connection and influence between Xingyi Quan and Ruyi Fist.
IV. Conclusions. To sum up, although there is no obvious inheritance relationship between Xingyi Quan and Ruyi Quan in terms of historical background and technical characteristics, there is also a certain connection and influence between them. Therefore, it can be said that Xingyi Quan did not originate from Ruyi Fist, but there is a certain connection and influence between them. At the same time, we should also respect and appreciate the characteristics and advantages of each martial arts school, and promote the inheritance and development of Chinese martial arts.
