The three major martial arts masters in modern China, Huang Feihong is not ranked at all

Su Shi wrote in his poem “Sending Your Son by the Envoy to the Khitan”: “When the desert looks back at the forbidden moon, the lakes and mountains should dream of the martial arts spring.” The word “martial arts” still referred to Hangzhou at that time. Gong Baiyu, a famous martial arts novelist, was inspired by the word “Wen Lin” and coined the word “Wulin”. Since then, Wu Lin has been used to refer to various martial arts schools in the world. In fact, martial arts schools are mostly divided into later generations, and predecessors rarely have sect views when they practice martial arts.

After the description of martial arts in many martial arts novels, this dangerous but chivalrous place has made countless people yearn for it. However, the real ancient times not only did not have “Wulin” or “Jianghu”, but also did not have the post of “Wulin Alliance Leader”. However, Chinese Wushu is indeed broad and profound, and it extends into many different cultivation methods and sects. Today, Chinese martial arts is one of the traditional cultures in my country, and because of the export of cultural labels such as “Bruce Bruce” and “Ip Man”, foreigners have the illusion that “Chinese people know martial arts”.

Chinese martial arts is actually a way of cultivating the mind and body that is fully integrated with traditional Chinese social philosophy, traditional Chinese medicine, and aesthetics. It not only pays attention to the norms of body, but also pays attention to the single-mindedness of spirit. It requires the inside and outside, body and spirit to be a unified whole. For example, the “Wu Qin Xi” created by Hua Tuo can be regarded as a kind of exercise method or a kind of martial arts. In martial arts novels, it is often described that various sects compete for the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance. In fact, Chinese Kung Fu is not for war, but for peace. There is also no saying that “wu has no second”. There is no difference between the strengths and weaknesses of various martial arts, and they are all for the purpose of strengthening the body and self-cultivation.

In the Tang Dynasty, the martial arts system developed, which played a role in promoting the development of martial arts; during the Song and Yuan Dynasties, folk martial arts activities flourished, and during the Ming and Qing dynasties, my country’s classical martial arts reached its peak, forming “Shaolin Boxing”, “Taiji Boxing”, “Bagua Palm” and so on. A major boxing system. In modern times, it has become an important part of sports in our country. In modern times, there are occasional competitions between “masters” and professional athletes, who often lose within a few rounds. In fact, these so-called masters have not grasped the essence of Chinese martial arts, that is, they have experienced the spirit of martial artists and become one with heaven and earth.

Although there has never been a unified “martial arts” figure in history, there are also some martial arts masters in modern times who are quite respected, such as Bruce Lee, Huo Yuanjia, Huang Feihong and others, who can be regarded as the spiritual “martial arts leaders” of martial arts practitioners. . The reason why these people are famous is not only because they have achieved certain achievements in martial arts, but also because they have been promoted by literary works, especially movies, as the protagonists.

In fact, there are still some low-key martial arts masters in modern China, and their achievements in martial arts are comparable to those of these people. It can even be said that if the top three are listed, neither Huo Yuanjia nor Huang Feihong can be included in it. In the history of modern martial arts, there is a famous master named Cai Longyun. He was born in Jining, Shandong in 1928 and obtained the 9th dan of Chinese martial arts. His father was a famous escort, and he was an invincible player in Shandong, known as the “Fist Demon”. As the only son in the family, Cai Longyun took up the responsibility of inheriting his father’s mantle early, and never even wore a cotton-padded jacket in winter.

At the age of 15, Cai Longyun defeated the famous boxer Masolov and caused a sensation in Shanghai. Since then, he has knocked down foreign boxers many times and won honor for the country. After the founding of New China, in 1954, Cai Longyun joined the National Wushu Team and served as the captain. Later, he undertook the research work of martial arts, and trained a large number of famous professors and senior coaches for China, as well as many outstanding martial arts athletes.

Although in the novel, it is an exaggeration for the knights to fly over the eaves and walls, but there are people who will be much lighter than ordinary people after practicing martial arts. This martial art is called the natural door. Its third-generation head, Wan Laisheng, is known for his agility, and his speed of shooting is lightning fast. He is known for being fast, accurate, and ruthless.

In the twenty-ninth year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty (1903 AD), Wan Laisheng was born in Hubei. He has been engaged in the martial arts industry all his life. He has written the first martial arts monograph in modern times, Wushu Huizong, taught more than 3,000 apprentices in his lifetime, and trained many national champions for China. Wan Laisheng turned into a doctor in his later years, treating illnesses and saving people. It can be said that he is a model of martial arts practitioners who “have the world in mind”.

People often say, “If there is a father, there will be a son.” In martial arts, it is more like “If there is a teacher, there must be an apprentice.” Wan Laisheng has achieved such high achievements in countless ways, and his teacher Du Xin’s five achievements are indispensable. No. Du Xinwu is the second-generation head of the natural door. He was born in the eighth year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1869 AD). He is the only direct disciple of the founder of the natural door. He not only made great achievements in martial arts, but also was more enthusiastic about revolution.

Epilogue

Nowadays, most people practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies. Except for a very small number of martial arts descendants, very few people spend their whole lives studying martial arts. As the saying in “Jing Shi Xian Wen”: “The sword comes from the sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold.” In fact, there are so many geniuses in the world. If you want to achieve something, you can read less novels and pay more. With some practical actions and more persistence, you can reach a certain level in the field you love.
