Title: Fang Shiyu: The fantasy confrontation between history and film and television.
Everyone should be familiar with the name Fang Shiyu, especially in film and television works, Fang Shiyu is a legendary figure in martial arts films, and has been vividly interpreted by superstars such as Jet Li and Zhang Weijian. But do you know that Fang Shiyu is not completely fictional, but a real character in history?
Fang Shiyu's birthplace dates back to 1739, he was born in Fangjia Village, Luoyin, Dinghu, Zhaoqing, Guangdong Province, the son of Fang De and Miao Cuihua. Fang De is a silk merchant, while Miao Cuihua is a descendant of Shaolin with strong martial arts. Since he was a child, Fang Shiyu received strict training from his mother, and used iron and vinegar potions to drench his body and practice solid martial arts.
Miao Cuihua's training for Fang Shiyu can be described as hard, and since the full moon, she has used various methods to exercise her son's body to make his muscles and bones as solid as iron. Since childhood, Fang Shiyu began to learn all kinds of martial arts, and at the age of fourteen or fifteen, he was already proficient in all eighteen martial arts. However, such exercise also caused Fang Shiyu to have a mediocre appearance, not tall, and full of pockmarks.
Interestingly, in film and television works, Fang Shiyu is often played by the handsome Jet Li, but the historical records depict Fang Shiyu is mediocre and a little dumbfounded. This is reminiscent of the fantastic discrepancies between film and television works and historical facts.
Fang Shiyu's martial arts are strong, and in his early years, he was rampant and domineering in the township, and he likes to fight with neighborhood children, and he is infinitely powerful. In a confrontation with the Wudang faction's Lei Laohu, Fang Shiyu was undaunted and defeated him with three punches and two kicks, causing the father and son to flee back to Guangzhou.
This caused the dissatisfaction of Lei Laohu's wife, Li Xiaohuan, who led ** to Guangzhou, claiming to avenge Lei Laohu. In the conflict with the Shaolin faction, Fang Shiyu showed superb martial arts and faced off against masters such as the Wudang faction's five masters. In this battle, the five masters used tricks, and finally lost Fang Shiyu's life with a vicious kick.
Fang Shiyu's martial arts were strong, but in this battle, he was defeated by the strategy of the five masters. He was only 24 years old and left a legendary story in the martial arts of Guangzhou.
This historical story not only shows Fang Shiyu's bumpy fate, but also reflects the disputes between the various factions in the martial arts at that time. Fang Shiyu's life has witnessed the martial arts and has become a legend in the history of martial arts in Guangzhou.
Fang Shiyu in film and television works may be more in line with the audience's expectations of heroes, but Fang Shiyu in history, although his appearance is mediocre, he has left his own legend with solid martial arts and open-minded personality.
