Chapter 477: The Decline of the National Arts
At the beginning of the Republic of China, martial arts have been called national arts.
Many people praise and disparage the national arts, and praise and disapproval have become extremes and polarization.
However, in international competitions, because of the frequent defeats of Guoshu players, people have begun to lose confidence in Guoshu.
Traditional Chinese culture, which has continued to flourish for thousands of years, is now regaining its vitality in its dying.
"The current Xingyi Quan only has form, no meaning, and has lost its essence. It's not just Xingyi Fist, it's the case with most national arts. Shao Zhan said: "In Yanyun City, maybe in a few years, Yu Yuanshi and Yu Lao can be called a master with Taijiquan. ”
Su Zhe didn't expect Shao Zhan to mention Yu Suyi's great-grandfather Yu Lao, and from Shao Zhan's tone, it could be heard that he respected Yu Lao very much.
"The practice of national art is for self-cultivation, it takes decades to practice, and it is difficult to see results, and perseverance is required, but modern emphasis is on fast and effective, but the current national art does not have this advantage, so most people abandon the national art, which is one of the reasons for the decline of the national art."
"But the reason for the real decline of the national art is what I said before, it has lost its essence, only the form remains, and there is no intention, which is the reason for the real decline of the national art."
"Then why does Guoshu lose its essence?" The more Su Zhe listened, the more he didn't understand, and the more curious he became.
Su Zhe didn't understand why the once glorious national arts would be degraded to nothing in modern society, and it seemed to be inferior to foreign martial arts.
"Because the true inheritance of national art has almost been broken, it's like the Xingyi Quan I practiced, but there are only moves left. But what really matters is the mental method of Xingyi Fist. But now almost all martial arts have been abandoned. That's why it caused the decline of national arts. ”
The more Su Zhe listened, the more confused he became, why important things were abandoned by his predecessors, and unimportant things were left behind.
However, Su Zhe didn't interject, because he knew that since Shao Zhan said so, he would definitely explain.
Sure enough, Shao Zhan continued: "Abandoning the mental method is a last resort. Because the mental method has gradually lost its effect, it has completely lost its effect before the Republic of China, and has become a piece of waste paper, since the mental method is useless, of course, it is difficult to keep it. ”
"Why the mental method loses its effect, no one still knows, but there is a general explanation, that is, the cultivation of the mental method requires the vitality of heaven and earth, and the vitality of heaven and earth has gradually disappeared, before the Republic of China. The Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi has completely dissipated, so the mental method will lose its effect. and forsaken. ”
Su Zhe finally understood the reason for the decline of the national arts, it turned out that it was not that the predecessors cherished themselves and broke the inheritance, but because they lost their effects, so they were discarded.
"But now the situation has begun to improve, because there have been changes in the past few years, it seems that now the mental method can play a role again, and the heaven and earth vitality has returned, but it is a pity that most of the martial arts mental method has been lost now."
"And Yu Lao has a complete inheritance of Taijiquan, so I said that in a few years, Yu Lao can be called a master." In the end, Shao Zhan's expression became more and more lonely.
Shao Zhan has been obsessed with martial arts all his life, indifferent to fame and fortune, and only pursues the highest level of martial arts, but unfortunately, Shao Zhan practiced Xingyi Fist, but now he can't find the mental method in it, and he has been unable to cultivate Xingyi Quan to a high level, which is his biggest regret.
Su Zhe didn't expect that there was such a relationship in this, and he could understand Shao Zhan's mood.
After all, now the mental method has begun to recover its effect, but the mental method has now lost its inheritance, and the cultivation on behalf of Shao Zhan can only stop at this, and whoever changes it will be as depressed as Shao Zhan.
However, Shao Zhan's words made Su Zhe's heart move, because in his martial arts exchange mall, he can exchange all kinds of martial arts, among which Shao Zhan's Xingyi boxing, as well as Yu Lao's Taijiquan, can be found in the martial arts exchange mall, and it is the most complete inheritance.
This martial arts mall has become a huge treasure, waiting for Su Zhe to excavate.
Maybe Su Zhe can use the martial arts to establish his own power, such as the mental method of the Huàn Xingyi Fist, which is used to rein in Shao Zhan.
It is very necessary for Su Zhe to establish a force of his own, after all, a person's manpower is limited after all.
If Su Zhe had his own power, he would be able to make the enemy have some scruples about him and not dare to act rashly.
It's like Yu Xuanhao, he, like Su Zhe, also has a holiday with Zheng Yan, but Zheng Yan doesn't dare to attack Yu Xuanhao now, it is precisely because Yu Xuanhao has the relationship between the Yu family behind him that Zheng Yan is jealous and does not dare to deal with Yu Xuanhao lightly.
Because Zheng Yan's words against Yu Xuanhao mean that he is the enemy of the entire Yu family, but Su Zhe is different, he has no background, and Zheng Yan will not have any scruples.
And Su Zhe didn't want to join any force to find help, so he could only rely on himself to fight against Zheng Yan.
Even if Su Zhe's strength is on par with Zheng Yan's, even if he wins, Su Zhe's chances of winning are still not great, because Zheng Yan still has the behemoth of the Zheng family standing behind him.
If Su Zhe could threaten Zheng Yan, the Zheng family would definitely kill Su Zhe.
But if Su Zhe has his own power and develops his power to a certain extent, Su Zhe can fight against Zheng Yan and the Zheng family, and there will be no taboos.
Now Shao Zhan can rely on the defective Xingyi Fist to cultivate to the current point, which is slightly better than Su Zhe, if Shao Zhan has the mental method, his strength will definitely increase greatly.
So Su Zhe really wanted Shao Zhan to join, but now Su Zhe didn't know much about Shao Zhan, and Su Zhe didn't know anything about his origin, so he naturally couldn't just come out with the Xingyi Fist's mental method.
In case Shao Zhan ran away after taking the mental method, Su Zhe would have no place to reason, and now Su Zhe did not have enough points to redeem the huàn Xingyi Fist, so even if Su Zhe wanted to hand over the mental method of the Xingyi Fist to Shao Zhan now, he would not be able to do it.
However, this matter has left a bud in Su Zhe's heart, and he already has a preliminary plan in his heart.
After Shao Zhan and Su Zhe chatted in the woods for a while, they saw that it was not too early and left.
Although Shao Zhan was very interested in Su Zhe, because from the discussion just now, Shao Zhan couldn't tell what kind of martial arts Su Zhe was practicing, Su Zhe fought in a chaotic manner, just like an ordinary person's style of play, just relying on his own strength and speed, and Shao Zhan.
