297 [On Traditional Martial Arts]

Xue Dian's master is Li Cunyi, a martial arts master in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Cunyi founded the Chinese Warriors Association and served as a sect leader in Jingwumen. When the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, he joined the Boxer Rebellion at the age of 53, assisted Cao Futian, the leader of the Boxer Rebellion, and led the crowd to attack the Laolongtou Railway Station at night.

More than 1,500 Russian soldiers were stationed at the railway station, and the two sides fought fiercely for more than ten hours, and the Boxers occupied the railway station several times. Until the fall of Tianjin City and the defeat of the main battlefield, the battle on the side of the railway station did not stop, and it is rumored that the Russian army suffered more than 500 casualties.

Regardless of the controversy of the Boxers, do not discuss whether the number of dead and wounded of more than 500 Russian troops is reliable. But in that battle, the Boxers and the Qing army did recapture the railway station, driving away more than 1,500 Russian troops, and the Tsarist Russian army retreated to the concession and did not dare to come out for the time being.

Xue Dian was Li Cunyi's most proud disciple in his later years, he was polite and polite, but he was actually arrogant, irritable, very face-loving, and super vindictive.

When he was young, his senior brother Fu Jianqiu pointed out Xue Dian's shortcomings, but Xue Dian was not convinced, and he had to compete in life and death, and he lost very badly.

Because of this little thing, Xue Dian didn't say goodbye and went to Shanxi to find a famous teacher to learn art, and he walked for ten years. It wasn't until Master Li Cunyi passed away that Xue Dian ran back and challenged his senior brother again on Master's Mourning Hall.

What the hell is this?

Now that he is middle-aged, Xue Dian's temper has only been slightly restrained, but his face-loving and pretending character has not changed.

Zhou Hexuan remembered the controversy between Chinese and Western medicine during this time, and thought of the controversy between traditional martial arts and modern fighting in later generations, so he invited Xue Dian to the office and chatted with this martial madman alone.

"Master Xue, please take a seat." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.

Xue Dian said proudly: "My skills are still passable, right?" Mr. Zhou has come to be the honorary vice president of our Guoshu Museum, and he will not disgrace your reputation. ”

"Master Xue is indeed clever," Zhou Hexuan said, "I am also very interested in Chinese martial arts, and I have a few questions I would like to ask." ”

"You speak." Xue Diandao.

Zhou Hexuan asked: "Does the legendary internal strength exist?" ”

Xue Dian laughed: "Mr. Zhou, I have also read your martial arts novels. If you're asking about the kind of internal power in the novel, of course it can't exist. Internal strength is just a mythical statement of internal strength. ”

"So what is internal strength?" Zhou Hexuan asked again.

Xue Dian thought carefully and replied, "Internal strength is a method of using force. ”

"How? Isn't it the power that really exists in the dantian? Zhou Hexuan was surprised.

Xue Dian laughed and said: "That's all blown out, I also believed it when I was young." In fact, everyone has strength, depending on how much they can play, and the training of martial arts is just to let people learn how to effectively stimulate and use people's potential. Of course, don't say this, otherwise I will become a street rat in the Chinese martial arts world. ”

Zhou Hexuan asked again: "How much of that martial arts is true?" ”

Xue Dian said: "What the disciples who close the door learn is true, and what ordinary disciples learn is nine points false and one point true." ”

"So fake?" Zhou Hexuan was surprised, "Then why do you still tell me this?" Aren't you afraid that I'm talking nonsense everywhere? ”

Xue Dian said: "You are not from the martial arts, it doesn't matter if you tell you, anyway, no third person hears it." ”

Zhou Hexuan asked: "Are those martial arts routines all fancy?" ”

Xue Dian said bluntly: "For ordinary people, martial arts routines are equivalent to gymnastics, and you can't become a master for a lifetime just practicing routines." For disciples who learn martial arts, martial arts routines are equivalent to the basics, which can be used to move muscles and bones, and exercise the coordination and reflexes of the body. For the inheritance of a boxing technique, martial arts routines are the secret of moves, but they are the secret of modification. ”

"Retouched secrets?" Zhou Hexuan didn't understand too much.

"Yes, and it's over-groomed, it's already equivalent to embroidering legs," Xue Dian explained, "For example, in the routine, you need to jump up and turn around and punch." But when it comes to real combat, what's so troublesome? Just turn back and you're good to go, which is fast and efficient. ”

Zhou Hexuan asked: "Why do you want to create such an unreasonable routine?" ”

"It's very simple, in order to facilitate the spread of boxing," Xue Dian said with a smile, "The real fight is ugly, and the routines are much more beautiful, and the layman feels unfathomable when he sees it." Especially the dignitaries, the children of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, there are many people who love martial arts. Naturally, they can't really practice hard, but they want to learn things, and the routines are very suitable for them to practice. ”

"That's it?" Zhou Hexuan was quite speechless.

Xue Dian continued: "Also, in order to distinguish the sects, you must know that the competition in the martial arts world is fierce. Most of the starting moves and signature moves in the martial arts routines are useless, but they can represent the characteristics of their respective punches. There are also some leftover weapon movements, such as the cloud hand of Taijiquan, which is useless for real fighting, but it is different if it is replaced by a sword. ”

"What's the explanation?" Zhou Hexuan asked.

Xue Dian said: "Tai Chi Yun hand, in fact, is the action of changing the two-handed sword, and it is only effective when using a two-handed sword, so that the one-handed sword cannot be used." Besides, when using a one-handed sword, do you feel that the sword technique of your left hand is redundant? ”

The sword trick is the movement of the left index finger and middle finger together and straightened, which will appear in all sword routines.

Zhou Hexuan nodded: "It's redundant." ”

Xue Dian smiled and said: "Because in ancient times, when fighting in ancient times, soldiers held swords in their right hands and shields in their left hands. After evolving into a martial arts routine, the shield is gone, and the sword trick pinched in the left hand is equivalent to a shield. If a swordsman does not practice the shield technique, then the sword trick is equivalent to ornamentation. Unless you use your left hand to block the opponent's weapon and fight to defeat both, the sword trick is very cumbersome. ”

Zhou Hexuan asked the biggest doubt in his heart: "Is Tai Chi real?" Four or two thousand pounds or something? ”

"It's nonsense, when you really fight hard, you can't even catch the opponent's fist, and you still have time to overcome the rigid with softness?" Xue Dian said disdainfully, "Let me tell you, what Yin and Yang Tai Chi and what Five Elements Gossip are all fake." I have studied Baguazhang, and the gossip theory in it is false; My teacher learned Xingyi Fist, and the Five Elements Theory is also false. Putting these in boxing is nothing more than making their respective sects become culturally rich and unfathomable. ”

Zhou Hexuan asked: "There are so many fakes, so what is real?" ”

Xue Dian replied very directly: "It's true that you can hit people, and everything else is fake." Today's martial arts are very bad, and in order to show that they are different, various factions have created a lot of messy moves, but in fact, those moves cannot be used in actual combat. I look down on Tai Chi the most, it's too pretentious. ”

Zhou Hexuan smiled: "Tai Chi can't be played? ”

"Of course you can fight," Xue Dian said without thinking, "Taijiquan was originally called Chenjiagou Boxing, and it was practiced by the villagers to deal with rebels and bandits, so what can you do if you can't practice it?" The bad thing is that Yang Luchan. ”

"Isn't Yang Luchan a generation of grandmasters?" Zhou Hexuan said.

"He's a generation of grandmasters," Xue Dian said with a smile, "But if he wants to promote boxing in the capital and be the head of those Eight Banners, can he use a local name like Chenjiagou Boxing?" So what Tai Chi Yin and Yang came, and all kinds of useless tricks also came. After one or two hundred years, the current Tai Chi has become a rich boxer, and if you have the disease of wealth and nobility, you can play very little. If you have seen the cultivation methods of the disciples who have closed the door of Taijiquan, and then compare the routines of ordinary disciples, you will find that they are completely two kinds of boxing techniques. It's all a lie. ”

Zhou Hexuan smiled: "In order to make a living and make money, everyone deceives people? ”

"Liar, I'm also liaring," Xue Dian said, "I created a Xingyi fist image form myself, and I don't dare to say that I created it myself, I have to say that I learned it from the old immortals on Wutai Mountain." How can you convince people if you don't say that? How to attract disciples to apprenticeship? ”

"You've created a great elephant form?" Zhou Hexuan asked.

"Of course it's amazing," Xue Dian coaxed, "Don't look at the martial arts rings in the past few years, most of the winners are disciples of Xingyi Fist, but the flaws of Xingyi Quan are also very big. My pictographic boxing has made up for the loopholes of Xingyi boxing. ”

Zhou Hexuan asked curiously: "What are the flaws of Xingyi Boxing?" ”

Xue Dian said: "The biggest flaw is that the move is not compatible, the move of hitting people pushes people's strength, it looks fierce, and it can also hit people, but the lethality is actually insufficient." Therefore, the generation of my master who practiced Xingyi Boxing often communicated with Baguazhang, Bajiquan, and Taijiquan, and used the advantages of other boxing techniques to make up for their own shortcomings. The Xingyi boxing image form I created is borrowed from the power of Bajiquan, but it doesn't seem to be recognized by my peers. ”

"You have made up for the shortcomings of Xingyi Fist, and you are still not recognized by your peers?" Zhou Hexuan was a little confused.

Xue Dian sneered: "Those people, aren't they jealous? Besides, my Xingyi boxing is very similar to the moves of Bajiquan, which is also quite similar to Western boxing. How humiliating it is, according to them, it is to forget the ancestors of Xingyi Fist. ”

Zhou Hexuan asked: "According to you, those things taught by the Guoshu Pavilion are all like goods?" ”

Xue Dian nodded and said, "Most of them are fake, but they can still strengthen the body, and it is more than enough to practice for a few more years to deal with ordinary people." If you really want to enter the house and learn the secret method, you must have qualifications and conduct, and this kind of murderous trick cannot be spread indiscriminately. ”

"The Wudang swordsmanship announced by Li Jinglin is also fake?" Zhou Hexuan asked.

"That's true," Xue Dian said speechlessly, "Li Dashuai has also made the cultivation method public, and it is not just a routine. However, he is a warlord and does not rely on martial arts to eat, so he naturally doesn't care about this. ”

Zhou Hexuan continued to ask: "Who is more powerful, you or Li Jinglin?" ”

Xue Dian said confidently: "If I don't use weapons, I can kill him in a minute." If he uses a sword, I can also use a knife, and it can be solved in a few minutes. ”

"He's so bad?" Zhou Hexuan asked.

Xue Dian smiled: "Of course he is bad, seeing that he walks vainly, you know that he usually neglects to practice." Coupled with old age and weak strength, even your guard, surnamed Sun, can easily defeat Li Dashuai, he is just famous. ”

Well, it turns out that the so-called "Sword Immortal" is so tragic in actual combat.

It's a pity for this Xue Dian, in a few years he will believe in "***", indulge in feudal superstition and can't extricate himself, and finally be shot in New China. His martial arts were also lost, including his self-created form of Xingyi Fist.
