Some people say that Guan Yu, a famous general of the Three Kingdoms, used to sell dates, and Zhang Fei killed a pig, so it's really strange, these two people don't have **, where did their world-class martial arts and the ability to lead troops of "ten thousand enemies" come from?
Why don't the history books and romances mention the ** of the two?
This is a very interesting question on the Internet, let me solve it, listen to it, and see if it makes sense.
Romance of the Three Kingdoms** illustration, Liu Guanzhang meets.
One: Guan Yu sells dates and kills pigs with Zhang Fei, that's just a joke in the romance, in fact, these two people are well-educated, Guan Yu loves to read Spring and Autumn Period, Zhang Fei is good at calligraphy and painting, which are all signs of cultural people.
So, since they are cultural people, their martial arts ** is simple, that is, when they were reading and reading as a teenager, their teacher taught them, it's as simple as that!
Some people definitely don't believe it, and will question: What, a weak scholar can also teach a bear and tiger general like Guan Zhang? Isn't that a joke!
Answer: Hehe, if someone thinks that the scholars of the Han Dynasty were weak, that is the real joke.
The Han Dynasty is a dynasty that greatly admires military merits, non-military merits are not allowed to be marquis, the court from the emperor down, the highest status is not the prime minister but the general, from these details, you can know how martial the Han style is.
Therefore, in the Han Dynasty, all those who were able to read and write would receive martial arts such as horseback riding, archery, and stabbing while studying.
The vast majority of the Confucians who are qualified to accept students are both civil and military.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in the official history are obviously educated cultural people, and the culture of the Han Dynasty includes martial arts! As a result, their martial arts were practiced simultaneously when they were reading and writing.
Guan Yu is good at reading, so there is an allusion to Guan Gong's reading of the Spring and Autumn Period at night.
Studying and practicing martial arts at the same time was not only the custom of the Han Dynasty, but also a habit that continued in China from ancient times to the Tang Dynasty. Here are a few examples.
Example 1: For example, Liu Bei and Gongsun Zhan both studied under Lu Zhi when they were young. Liu Bei is good at fencing, and when Gongsun Zhan was the governor of Liaodong, he led dozens of cavalry to attack hundreds of Xianbei cavalry, and his people were armed with two-edged spears, one horse took the lead, and killed dozens of enemy horses on a single horse, and the bravery was naturally first-class.
But Chen Shou wrote the history of the Three Kingdoms, but why didn't he specifically explain who taught the martial arts of the two?
That's because of both civil and military cultivation, which is the normalization of scholars in the Han Dynasty, so Chen Shou doesn't need to make another move, and then explain it separately. So, in fact, that is the martial arts taught by Lu Zhi.
Example 2: Romance of the Three Kingdoms: The Legend of Zhao Zhao", more than ten teenagers such as Zhao Zhao followed the great Confucian Le Yin to study in Kyoto, Le Yin came out of the chariot general He Miao, He Jin was killed by the eunuchs, the war in Kyoto, the chariot general He Miao died in the chaos, and Le Yin was also killed.
So, Zhao Zhao and a group of teenagers entered the chaos, touched the blade, snatched out the body of the teacher Leyin, and collected it into the coffin, escorting him back to his hometown for burial. Look, this is the scholar of the Han Dynasty, who is not weak at all, but very violent!
Example 3: Thirty-six people in the class are peaceful, but are they fierce?
But Ban Chao is a scholar, and his occupation before joining the army was a scribe copying books in the "Eastern Han Dynasty Archives". After joining the army, he went out with the Han army to attack the Xiongnu, first served as a fake Sima in the battalion, and met the enemy in the Pu Sea. This scholar, who was copying books not long ago, broke through the battle in the encounter and was brave.
As a result, he was appreciated by Dou Gu, the commander of Fengche, and was appointed to accompany Guo Sui to envoy Shanshan. And when Shanshan led 36 attachés to attack the Xiongnu mission at night, this scholar personally confronted the Xiongnu with white blades and killed three people.
What do you think? The martial arts of the scholars of the Han Dynasty are by no means blown!
Two:
Then, some people may ask again: even if the Confucian students of the Eastern Han Dynasty knew martial arts, they would also teach martial arts when they taught. However, Guan Yu and Zhang Feichang are not famous Confucians like Lu Zhi, they must be just ordinary Confucian students.
So how can ordinary Confucian scholars teach characters like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei?
Answer: Don't be influenced by martial arts**, thinking that there are really any martial arts secrets in the world.
Martial arts are not magical, a correct technical action, practice 500 blows, 1,000 blows a day, practice for two or three years, repeat a single action more than 500,000 times, strength and muscle memory upper body, this has become a skill, so, even if the teacher is ordinary, but as long as he teaches the practice method is correct, and then as long as he is willing to work hard, anyone can practice.
Of course, to talk about how well you can practice, it depends on your physical condition and personal talent. And Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are naturally strong and talented.
When Guan Yu and Zhang Fei followed Liu Bei to raise troops as generals, the two of them were tall and strong, coupled with strong armor, and with fast horses and spears, they were naturally unparalleled in the battle formation, and there were few opponents.
Here's another explanation:
Guan Zhang's bravery is undoubted, but the hallmark of ancient martial arts is mounted archery. And "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" only focuses on Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu's mounted archery, but does not say that Guan Zhang is also good at mounted archery, which is also puzzling.
From this, it can also be understood that Guan Zhang's name of 10,000 enemies is more about their ability to lead troops to fight, rather than their expertise in martial arts.
Three: How is martial art practiced?
The "Arm Record" written by Wu Zhen, a martial artist in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, tells a story about how to practice martial arts, which is very enlightening to read.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the man who was known for his spearmanship was none other than Shi Jingyan, a frequent acquaintance in southern Jiangsu. This person is very famous in the history of ancient Chinese martial arts.
After Shi Jingyan's skills were practiced, the gun was like lightning, and people called it "stone electricity".
His people are good at martial arts, and because he has rarely met opponents in the near future, he and Shaolin monk Hong Ji went to Hebei to find Liu Dechang to compete in gun skills.
Who is Liu Dechang?
At that time, he was known as the first in the world of gun and stick skills, and served as the head of the gun art sect in the shogunate of Han Jingyu, the governor of Zhending.
Shi Jingyan and Hong Ji visited and explained their intentions, and the three of them began to compete.
Jing Yan and Hong Ji exchanged their guns with Dechang's spear, and the gun was knocked to the ground by Dechang. Retry several times, each time.
The two of them were impressed. fell to the ground together and decided to learn from Liu Dechang.
Liu Dechang said to the two: "The second son is not skilled in gunnery, but the foundation is not solid. After the two returned to their hometowns, they stopped practicing the complicated and fancy techniques they had before, but only poked a thousand times a day with a gun, and told them: They must be poked for two years.
Two years later, Jing Yan and Hong Ji went to see Dechang again.
Liu Dechang tried to compete with the two of them again. , but this time, because the two of them have been holding guns thousands of times a day for two years, they have already stabbed people together.
First, the gun is stable, and it is difficult for Dechang to shoot down the gun in the hands of the two.
De Changnai laughed and said: The second son is successful!
It turns out that a thousand blows a day is the real secret method of practice, which is called the simplicity of the Great Dao.
After that, if someone competes with Shi Jingyan, as long as the west gun is exchanged, the opponent's gun will definitely be knocked to the ground by Jingyan.
In the future, Shi Jingyan will teach his apprentices to learn spearmanship, and he will definitely let people practice poking first, at least 500 times a day. Poke for 100 days, and then practice the reform method. After two or three years of practicing the method of poking and reform, he was taught the method of advancing and retreating and stabbing and attacking.
What is "leather" in gunmanship? It is to draw a circle with a gun, which is an important basic skill.In this way, those who studied under Shi Jingyan to practice guns, the top ten, all parted halfway and did not continue to practice. Why is that?
Because many people think that Shi Jingyan just urges ** to poke the gun, he is unwilling to teach the real skills, so no one is willing to follow Shi Jingyan to practice. However, they don't know that a thousand hits a day is the real thing!
Look at it this way. Is there any secret facsimile in the world?
And the so-called "real kung fu has been lost" is all nonsense based on false rumors.
Kung Fu people, kung fu also! As long as the method is right and the work is deep, there will naturally be effort. As the saying goes: "The years are deep, and the wonder is deep!" ”
This story in the arm record is what it says!
And Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's martial arts are naturally practiced in this way, when they are studying, the teacher teaches them a correct method, and then they hit a thousand times a day, and after three or five years, they will get on their skills.
The master leads the way and practices in the individual. It's actually that simple.
