If Ye Xiao is a warrior who can reduce ten times with one force, then Li Qing is more like a master who is proficient in everything.

Generally speaking, if the master wants to fight with a warrior who has really gone through the bloody storm, he will definitely suffer a certain loss.

But since Li Qing and Ye Xiao have been making moves all the way, it is actually Li Qing who has been at ease.

Facing Ye Xiaoxing's eighth-level boxing strength, Li Qing actually changed his moves again.

Since the White Crane Gate, Wing Chun Hands, and Little Thoughts, Li Qing has opened the tip of his iceberg and shown another housekeeping skills.

Li Qing is proficient in Chinese arts, but the same does not exclude foreign boxing, Muay Thai is famous for its ferocity, but relatively speaking, Li Qingquan is better at another type of boxing.

North Korea. Taekwondo.

There is a big misconception that many modern people mistakenly think that taekwondo is a product of modern times, in fact, the prototype of taekwondo can be traced back a long time.

A true master should be inclusive, not a one-size-fits-all boxer who excludes foreign fighters.

THE HISTORY OF TAEKWONDO CAN BE CONSIDERED AS OLD AS HUMAN HISTORY ITSELF, SO IT CAN BE SAID THAT THE ORIGINAL CHARACTERISTICS OF TAEKWONDO HAVE BEEN FORMED NATURALLY SINCE HUMANS FIRST LEARNED TO PROTECT THEMSELVES. In fact, not only human beings, but all living beings naturally have a strong instinct to protect their own lives in their subconscious. For example, when the body is suddenly attacked. Or when others want to harm themselves, we will unconsciously use various actions to make the body avoid the attack, or tighten the body together to protect the vital parts from harm, if this instinctive action, summarized and refined into subjective conscious control of the action, it forms a primary defensive action, although this is only a negative practice, but it has been able to become a necessary means to adapt to the situation. It is precisely for the sake of survival that human beings have formed this form of self-defense into a basic component in the long dusty work, and have continuously organized and perfected it, so that it has finally become a unique and powerful weapon.

Taekwondo is based on this kind of behavior and gradually emerged and developed.

That's why we trace the origins of Taekwondo back to the earth with the birth of human beings. Of course, in the development process of taekwondo, it is the continuous new understanding and exploration of human beings' physical and psychological potential, and through countless reflections and promotions, countless experiments and experiences, that the fighting technology of taekwondo has developed into what it is today, a moral, scientific and formal martial arts fighting skill.

In fact, there is a difference between the taekwondo that people know today and the taekwondo practiced by the ancients, at that time, people's understanding of taekwondo can only stay at an instinctive and spontaneous level, and taekwondo has an absolute form, which is caused by the needs and development of life, which is also affected by the inevitable law of the complexity and diversification of the human living environment. The diversity of life is the measure of the evolution of human civilization, and it is also premised on the fulfillment of will. In ancient times, human beings only needed to adapt to the changing living environment and have strong physical strength to ensure the stability of life, in order to seek to expand the scope of life, especially for external invasions, as the focus of prevention. Therefore, Taekwondo can gradually break away from the negative form and become a positive and absolute form, which is one of the signs of civilization.

In order to satisfy various desires, human beings often use all experiences and experiences as a reference in order to create a new way of life. At the same time, human beings have long been no longer satisfied with simply protecting themselves, which further thinks of improving the attack power of taekwondo, so it has formed another form of taekwondo, the perfect combination of attack and defense. It is the accumulated experience, wisdom, and innate creativity of human beings that make Taekwondo produce the most effective and appropriate form, and make it continue to develop and rise.

It is a pity that ancient and modern historians lack sufficient attention and specific understanding of the techniques of ancient taekwondo rudiments, such as foot play and hand fighting, and neglect the collation and excavation of historical facts, and only pay attention to the study of taekwondo techniques. In fact, in the records of Korean history, there are often records of hand-and-foot play and hand-to-hand fighting, but it is a pity that no one has studied it in depth. As a result, even in present-day North Korea, there are still many people who confuse sumo wrestling in South Korea with taekwondo. Fortunately, no matter in the changes of the nation or the devastation of countless wars, taekwondo is still considered an inherent martial art, which has allowed the historical fate of taekwondo to pass on to modern times, without being wiped out and decaying, and becoming one of the historical and cultural cultures of Korea, which cannot but be said to be a miracle.

According to the record in the "Dongguo Land Victory": North Korea "the country is in the east, first by the glory of the sun, so it is called North Korea", also known as North Korea "living in the east sunrise place, so it is called North Korea". This is the origin of the name Joseon, which was used in ancient times when the Kei Joseon (equivalent to the end of the Shang Dynasty in China) and the Wei Joseon (who overthrew the Kei Joseon in 194 BC and established himself as king). Later, it was once called "Goryeo", a name derived from the name of the Goryeo Dynasty founded by Wang Jian in the 10th and 14th centuries. After the Goryeo Dynasty was destroyed, the dynasty established by Yi Sung-gye used the title "Joseon" again. By 1897, during the reign of Yi Hee, Korea was renamed "Daehan", but it was soon annexed by the Japanese Empire and reverted to "Korea".

Around the first century BC, the three kingdoms of Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje emerged successively. Goguryeo is in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula, Silla is in the southeast, and Baekje is in the southwest. The founding ancestor of Goguryeo was called Jumong and founded the country in 37 BC. The founding ancestor of Silla was surnamed Park, whose name was Hejushi (meaning king), and the state was founded in 57 BC. The founding ancestor of Baekje was named Wenzuo, and the state was founded in 18 BC. By the fourth century A.D., the Korean Peninsula had almost become a situation of three kingdoms, during this period, the three kingdoms had entered a feudal society, and there was considerable cultural and economic development, which was also taekwon

A period when the Tao developed simultaneously in the midst of war. These three kingdoms stood for hundreds of years, long-distance close combat, continuous conquests, and finally Silla asked for help from the Tang Dynasty of our country, and Tang Gaozong immediately ordered Su Dingfang to lead hundreds of thousands of land and water soldiers, united with Silla, and captured the capital of Baekje in 860 A.D., and destroyed Baekje. Goguryeo was destroyed in 668 AD, and the Korean Peninsula was gradually unified by Silla.

In 918 AD, some Korean nobles wanted to seize power, the most powerful of which was Wang Jian, who called himself Goryeo Taejo in this year, and replaced Silla in 936 AD to unify the peninsula, beginning the Wang's Goryeo period, and like the Three Kingdoms period, Goryeo culture was also deeply influenced by our culture, and some systems were moved from China as they were, such as the Goryeo military system, which was completely modeled after the Tang Dynasty's government military system at first. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that Chinese martial arts were also introduced to Korea with various military cultures at that time.

In 1392 AD, the right army of Goryeo became the last dynasty of Korean feudal society by ruling on King Yi Sungye-pi and calling himself Joseon Taejo, that is, entering the Joseon era of the Yi clan (dynasty).

The rudiments of taekwondo on a Goguryeo mural

Jumong, the founder of Goguryeo, traveled south from Buyeo in the north of Korea to the place of Zuben (Kuben), where he settled as the capital. Goguryeo's territory consisted of the entire area south of the Yujiang River on the Mohe Peninsula centered on Baekdu Mountain, and it repeatedly expanded its influence to the northeast of Japan.

Taekwondo enjoyed a high status in Goguryeo, as evidenced by the rudiments found in the murals of the ancient tombs, the Kakutan mound, the Mai Warrior Mound, and the Sanbu Mound in the later capital of Goguryeo, Maruto: on the walls of the Kakutan Mound there are depictions of two men holding each other's shoulders and sumo wrestling. The mounds depict the various lifestyles of the Goguryeo people at the time, including the dancing of women, and in the courtyard of the genguro, two strong men are found fighting each other in taekwondo.

The capital of Goguryeo, Maru, was established in 3 AD, but the capital was moved to Pyongyang in 427 AD. The Goguryeo people built many tombs here, and the rudiments of taekwondo can be seen painted on the walls everywhere, which proves that taekwondo was quite popular at that time. Otherwise, taekwondo scenes would not have been painted on the walls of graves so commonly. It can be inferred from this that taekwondo at that time had become a national sport in Goguryeo.

At the same time, due to the uncertain situation at that time, in order to cope with these inevitable wars, the samurai naturally made taekwondo a compulsory subject and underwent rigorous training, as evidenced by the samurai siege day seen in the murals of the three mojo mounds.

Judging from the rudiments of taekwondo, which appear in a large number of murals, it can be seen that the Goguryeo people practiced this sport as widely as nearly 2,000 years ago, and it can be inferred that it was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people at that time.

Among them, another country has to be mentioned, Silla.

Silla was founded about 20 years earlier than Goguryeo (57 BC), and in the early days of the state, Silla was far less powerful than Goguryeo, and its territory was the area of present-day Gyeongsang-do, and it was surrounded on all sides by powerful countries. However, Silla did not give in to the great powers, and worked together to preserve the lifeblood of the 725-year-old history since the founding of the country and complete the unification of Korea.

In the country of Silla, there is a famous place called Hwarang-do (Silla was divided into 12 provinces in the country at that time, which is equivalent to a thousand provinces of the country). There, there are places dedicated to the gathering of young people, and large worships are often held there to pray for the gods. Therefore, people often used these gatherings to learn from each other, practice martial arts and use of martial spirit, and it was through this form that the Silla Kingdom gained great motivation and made the country more united and prosperous.

In the Silla period, there was no special system for selecting talents, so the Hwarang system was developed, according to which the system was formed. Young people are required to show and discover their talents in the midst of joyful singing and dancing, and use this as a selection criterion. Among the many ways to distinguish this, there is a game called hand-to-hand fighting, which is equivalent to Taekwondo today. At the same time, the young samurai also held various games such as archery, keju (kicking), kakumi (wrestling), mounted archery, hunting, swinging, and bamboo horses, all of which were necessary for military personnel at the time. Therefore, the development of these selection activities was in fact a gradual evolution of military training programs into sports programs in the form of singing, dancing and games, and these activities were collectively referred to as Kahaiku at that time. The time to carry out this kind of activity is from July 16 of the old calendar to last until August 15 Mid-Autumn Festival, which can be regarded as a kind of national festival ceremony.

The state religion of Silla is Buddhism, and many monks are born in Hwarang-do, so the various postures of Taekwondo can also be seen in the posture of the Buddha statue guarding the gate of the Seok Cave Nunnery, Vajra Lux. And thus proves the fact that taekwondo has long been prevalent in Silla. In addition, in the Joseon book "The Legend of the Emperor", it is recorded that there is a Silla custom that two people stand against each other and kick the opponent, and three methods are introduced: the first is to kick the other person's foot. The second type is the slightly more skilled person, who can throw his foot and kick the opponent's shoulder. The third is a more skilled player, who can kick the opponent's hair. These descriptions coincide with the explanation of the word "taekwon" in Cihai: taekin means to trample. Or called "taekwon", meaning the same as trampling, in the "Hanshu Astronomical Chronicles", there is a saying of "taekwon".

In addition, there are techniques such as hand punching and boxing, which were not only used in Silla, but also in countries such as Goguryeo and Baekje, which can be attested to in books such as the Korean "Records of the Historical Records" and the "Ancient Matters".

In the Tang Dynasty, there was a detailed record of taekwondo in the era of Li Shimin, who fed back taekwondo in the Baekje period.

When Silla, Goguryeo, and Baekje were fighting each other, Tang Gaozong sent troops to intervene and help Silla destroy Baekje first, and then remove Goguryeo. Baekje was destroyed though. But its ruling class still received aid from Japan, and many of its remnants of martial arts were retained

books have also been preserved, and the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms is one of them. According to this book, it is known that King Ah Shin and other princes of the Baekje Dynasty have always admired martial arts.

In that year, Baekje, because its military strength was the weakest among the three kingdoms, so it adopted a policy of distant friendship and close attack, and often passed on the Chinese culture it absorbed to Japan, and the famous "Analects" of ancient China was brought to Japan by the prince Azhiqi and the doctor Wang Ren sent by the Baekje State at the end of the third century. Buddhism was also introduced to Japan from Baekje. Because of the weakness of the family, people throughout Baekje have equestrian, archery, and taekwondo as a game. In the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, in the Baekje Honki, in the seventh year of the 3rd Ashin Dynasty, it is recorded that "the people who gathered in the city held an archery tournament in Seidae." From this point of view, it is necessary not only for officials and soldiers to be trained in this technique, but also for ordinary people to train in various martial arts in order to become true samurai. This is a striking example.

The Baekje Dynasty was a country with a long history from 18 BC to 660 AD, but it was eventually destroyed by the combined forces of Silla and Tang Dynasty, probably for this reason, so there are fewer records of Taekwondo in Baekje than Goguryeo and Silla. However, it should be noted that Taekwondo was very popular in Silla and Goguryeo during the Three Kingdoms War, and Goguryeo was still very popular even at the end of the period, so it cannot be concluded that Baekje did not have taekwondo because there are few written or other forms of written or other records of Taekwondo martial arts.

From the few surviving materials, many records of taekwondo can still be found. For example, there are records of a kind of taekwondo-like fight scene. This athletic was very popular during the Baekje period, and there are many records of this in history. The so-called battle drama refers to a traditional national athletic event that is prevalent in the southern part of Korea, centered on Namwon, around Jirisan Mountain. This type of competitive competition is to divide the personnel into two groups to compete to determine the winner. Therefore, it can be considered that this kind of casual battle drama is similar to today's taekwondo, or it can be called a variation of taekwondo.

Goryeo was a unified state established on the Korean Peninsula in 918 AD. However, between King Munjong of the 11th Dynasty of Goryeo and King Yijong of the 18th Dynasty, the imperial court despised the military attachés and valued the civil officials, which caused an uproar, and the military attachés rebelled, which became known as the "Jeong Chung-fu Rebellion".

At that time, the military attaché wanted to eradicate the corrupt civilian faction and establish a country based on justice, so he began a rebellion. The excellent taekwondo warriors led by the generals Chung Chung Fu and Yi Yifang were the vanguard and carried out the mutiny, and Li Yifang himself was proficient in taekwondo, so King Yizong valued him very much and ordered him to be responsible for training the soldiers' hand-to-hand fighting skills.

And once the government was controlled by the powerful ministers and warriors, Zheng Zhongfu tortured and killed civil officials, and anyone who wore the hat of Wengong, regardless of the official rank, was killed, and finally expelled Yizong and established Mingzong. I can imagine that the style of martial arts must have been very strong at that time.

In addition to these records, it can also be judged from the materials of the "History of Goryeo" that Goryeo martial arts and hand-to-hand fighting were very popular among the people.

Legend has it that there was a Goryeo warrior Du Jingsheng who was playing with a friend who was good at hand-to-hand fighting, and when his father-in-law saw it, he advised him: "Hand-to-hand combat is a very dangerous sport, and all virtuous people disdain to learn it." Since then, Du Jingsheng has never learned hand-to-hand combat with that friend. From this example, it can be seen that hand-to-hand combat was still prevalent among ordinary people at that time.

It has to be mentioned that the development of taekwondo in the era of the Li Dynasty was the best.

North Korea has long been considered the suzerainty of taekwondo (it is mainly practiced in South Korea today) and is proud of it. In fact, the history of the development of taekwondo proves that this excellent technique has been carried forward in the glorious history of the Korean nation.

Taekwondo, which has been passed down from Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje to Goryeo for more than 1,000 years, took root and grew in the era of the Yi Dynasty, and has been scientifically confirmed.

In the 14th year of the Li Dynasty (1790 AD), Li Dezhu was ordered by the king to compile the "Martial Arts Atlas Tongzhi" is a representative work of Taekwondo, in this book, not only explains the development of Yiquando, but also the use of various weapons has a detailed record.

At that time, if a person wanted to become an official with a martial arts background, he had to kick down more than three people with taekwondo to qualify. King Taejong also held a banquet to entertain the samurai, and held taekwondo competitions on the spot at the banquet to help the drinking. It can be seen that the royal family advocated and attached great importance to taekwondo at that time. At the same time, in the two invasions of the Japanese in the years of Renchen and Ding You (the battles of Wenlu and Changqing), there are more than 700 volunteers in Jinshan who fought to the death with their bare hands against the Japanese soldiers, which is still preserved, which fully shows that in the war, taekwondo is also a powerful fighting weapon.

Outside the border of Jeolla Province and Cheongchung-do Province in the south of Korea, there is a small village called Queji Village, and the people of both provinces thought that the village should belong to them, and they could not hold each other, and finally used the taekwondo competition to determine the ownership of the two masters from the victory or defeat of each other, so it seems that the status of taekwondo was very high in the hearts of people at that time.

However, by the end of the Li dynasty, due to weak politics and multi-party strife, there was an increasingly strong tendency to despise the martial arts of taekwondo. And when the country was in decline, the taekwondo masters at that time had to consume their energy by masochism or drinking and fighting. At the same time, in order to compete with each other, the civilian faction tried to suppress the military attachés who advocated taekwondo, (as a result, the art of taekwondo gradually separated from the royal family and aristocracy, but was collected and practiced by a wider range of people.)

So when Li Qing kicked Ye Xiao's whole body into the air with a high leg lift, Ye Xiao actually admired Li Qing very much.

With such skills, he is not a master of national arts.

But the one who wins in the end will be me!
