In the martial arts, Huashan on the sword has achieved a new generation of five uniques, Guo Jing and Yang Guo emerged side by side, Guo Jing won the position of Beixia, and Yang Guo took the name of the west madness to walk alone in the martial arts. The martial arts of the two chivalrous men are undoubtedly the pinnacle
However, Zhang Sanfeng looked back on his life and specifically mentioned Guo Jing and spoke highly of his martial arts. Zhang Sanfeng said that he couldn't even match Guo Jing's skills back then, which showed that Guo Jing's martial arts in his eyes were superb. Why does Zhang Sanfeng comment like this, and what is the reason?
1. Zhang Sanfeng commented on Guo Jing's martial arts.
When Zhang Sanfeng recalled his life, his evaluation of Guo Jing was higher than that of other martial arts colleagues, including Yang Guo. He made it clear that he failed to match Guo Jing's skills back then, implying that Guo Jing's martial arts realm in Zhang Sanfeng's mind surpassed others. Zhang Sanfeng was full of admiration for the martial arts master, and Guo Jing's realm obviously made him deeply admired. This also raises a question for us: why does Zhang Sanfeng think that Guo Jing's martial arts are better than Yang Guo's?
2. The profound enlightenment of Tianshan Tong's grandmother.
To answer this question, we need to go back to Jin Yong's Tianlong Babu, Tianshan Tong's revelation to Xuzhu. On the surface, Xuzhu is dedicated to cultivating Buddhism, but he is not aware of the true pursuit of his heart. Grandma Tong pointed out: "If you ask for something, you will suffer, and if you don't ask for it, you will be happy." If you are bent on keeping the Buddha's precepts, then you are 'asking', and if you can't ask for it, your heart will be bitter. Although Xuzhu thought that he had no desires and no desires, Grandma Tong profoundly pointed out that he still wanted something, so he could not get real peace and satisfaction in his heart.
Compared with Xuzhu, Guo Jing's pursuit is obviously more pure, he is a chivalrous man who integrates inside and outside. Guo Jing has always been a true chivalrous man, caring for the people of the world and serving the country and the people. He doesn't ask for something, but a chivalrous man from the inside out, doing it with sex. In contrast, Yang Guo pursues to become a hero, and his understanding of chivalry stays at the external level, which is a chivalry from the outside in.
3. Yang Guo's great gift and the internal and external realm of chivalry.
Yang Guo once presented Guo Xiang with a birthday gift, but the intention behind the three gifts was unusual. He not only had the Mongol vanguard killed, but also burned the Mongol army with meteor artillery, which eventually enabled Darba to defeat Khodu. Yang Guo's series of actions seem to be to celebrate Guo Xiang's birthday, but in fact, it is to prove that he can also serve the country and the people in front of the martial arts heroes and be competent for chivalrous things. In a high-profile way, he showed his heroic demeanor to the martial arts heroes. Guo Jing was deeply grateful for this, and the martial arts heroes admired it one after another.
The difference between Guo Jing and Yang Guo is that Guo Jing is a chivalrous man who integrates inside and outside, while Yang Guo is a chivalrous man who is outside in. Guo Jing is a chivalrous man from the bottom of his heart, and there is no need to deliberately prove it. And Yang Guo's actions show that he has something to ask for and is eager to be recognized as a hero by the martial arts heroes. From the perspective of the internal and external realms of chivalry, Guo Jing is obviously more profound.
Fourth, the internal and external realms of chivalry and martial arts cultivation.
For chivalrous, the level of the inner and outer realms determines the pinnacle of their martial arts cultivation. Guo Jing is a true chivalrous man from the inside out, and this realm has made his martial arts reach the peak. Yang Guo, on the other hand, is from the outside in, and he tries to prove his status as a hero through high-profile actions, but this mentality of asking for something makes his realm relatively low.
On the whole, Zhang Sanfeng's high evaluation of Guo Jing is not only due to his excellent martial arts cultivation, but also based on Guo Jing's chivalrous realm of internal and external integration. Guo Jing's pursuit has always been for the country and the people, and it is the true chivalry in his heart, which is in stark contrast to Yang Guo's pursuit of something. Therefore, Zhang Sanfeng believes that Guo Jing's martial arts are better than Yang Guo's, precisely because Guo Jing's chivalrous realm is higher.
In the long history of martial arts, Guo Jing's name will always shine with the brilliance of chivalry, and his peak of martial arts is admirable. And in this remarkable era, we can also learn the true meaning of chivalry from Guo Jing, pursue the martial arts realm of internal and external integration, and become a real chivalrous.
