Chapter 516: 100 years old
"Really?" I was stunned by what I said, Xiao Ai obviously didn't believe it, seeing her like this, I smiled bitterly, and then touched her head and said to her: "What is there to doubt about this, I remember, a long time ago, I read a book, that book, a lot of introductions to Zhang Sanfeng, if I remember correctly, according to the description in the book, there are rumors that Sanfeng Patriarch learned the Taoism from Lu Chunyang (Lu Dongbin), and it was the boxing method taught by Emperor Zhenwu himself, when he was more than ninety years old, he died once, and then, he suddenly came back to life, In this life, all kinds of awesome things are not less, otherwise, how can people be strange people. ”
"Who is Lu Chunyang?" Hearing this, Ding Ling also became interested.
"It's Lu Dongbin." Before I could answer, the ghost who was looking around suddenly interjected.
"The ghost is right, it is Lu Dongbin, Lu Dongbin has a very high status in Taoism, especially in the Northern School, and is the head of the five ancestors, according to legend, this person has a great ability to manifest himself, and many people who have attained the Tao are assigned by him, and I remember the one I told you before." Liu Hai'er plays the story of Jin Toad', that Liu Haier is one of Lu Dongbin's disciples, and it is precisely because Zhang Sanfeng has such an opportunity with him, so within the Wudang faction, there is also a branch called the Pure Yang School. ”
"Isn't the Wudang faction the Wudang faction, and there are branches?" Xiao Ai, who didn't know much about Chinese martial arts, was obviously a little confused when he heard it.
Seeing that she looked very curious, I smiled and said: "Of course it is different, the Wudang School is a very general concept, specifically, there are many branches, they all respect Zhang Sanfeng as the ancestor, but, because of the different mastery of the technique, therefore, in many times can be subdivided into many schools, for example, Longmen School, Zhenwu School, Chunyangmen, Sanfeng School, etc., etc., eight hundred miles of Wudang Mountain, there are many masters, just Taijiquan This thing has derived hundreds of different versions. ”
"Tai Chi is not created by Zhang Sanfeng, I said it on TV." Suddenly, there was some doubt, Xiao Ai corrected.
"What you said, it's not right, it should be said that the popular Taijiquan is not created by Zhang Sanfeng, the version you see, it must be said that Taijiquan was created by the late Ming Dynasty general Chen Wangting when he retired from Qi Jiguang's "Twenty-four Styles of the Boxing Sutra", this is true, because, now the widely spread Taijiquan is divided into four factions, Chen Wangting's Chen family, Yang Luchan's Yang family, Wu Jianquan's Wu family, and the Sun family of Sun Lutang, a modern martial arts master, these four families actually originated from one, are all derived from the Chen family's Taijiquan, so the martial arts community agrees that Chenjiagou is the birthplace of Taijiquan. ”
"Yes, yes!" Nodding for a while, Xiao Ai said.
"However, this statement is not entirely true." I said, smiled, and then, picked up a branch on the side of the road and explained: "Taijiquan, divided into two branches, although Chen Jiaquan is combined with Yin and Yang Yili, but there was no name of Taiji in the earliest days, and the name Taijiquan was really called out by Zhang Sanfeng." According to the ancients, this name still has a provenance, and everyone is more recognized that Zhang Sanfeng combined Wudang Wujiquan, Wudang Taihe Boxing, and the technique of Liangyi Point Acupoint together, three fists in one, and the thirteen styles of Tai Chi created by grass. Many people don't recognize this matter, but there is indeed one, just like many of the guiding theories of Taijiquan are from the hands of some martial arts masters who have nothing to do with Chen's Taiji. ”
"For example?" As if he didn't agree with my statement, Xiao Ai blinked and asked.
"For example, Wang Zongyue, Zhang Songxi." I said, shaking my head and sighing.
"It's so complicated" may be that there are too many unfamiliar names, Xiao Ai wrinkled her little face and seemed to be very entangled, seeing her like this, I snickered, people say, big chest and brainless, but if the chest is flat, it can be stupid like this, it's not easy, just thinking about it, Ding Ling suddenly poked me and pulled the topic back: "Husband, are you saying that Zhang Sanfeng is the longest-lived person in history?" ”
"I didn't say it." I said, shook my head, pondered carefully for a while and explained: "How old did Zhang Sanfeng live, this statement is not consistent, it is generally believed that he lived at least more than 100 years, at most less than 300 years old, as for the specific number, no one can say accurately, if you rent an average, more than 200 years old is still more recognized, but although this age is scary, it is not necessarily the most awesome, I remember that in the early days of the Republic of China, there was an old man who lived 256 years old.
"256 years old!?" Xiao Ai said, opening his small mouth in shock, and then, covering his small mouth, chuckled: "Ah, you have lived so old, you can't become an old monster!?" ”
"No, people are living well." I said, rolling my eyelids and thinking for a moment, and then I explained to them in a leisurely manner.
The person I'm talking about is actually true, this person's name is "Li Qingyuan", according to legend, this Li Qingyuan was born in 1677 and died in 1933, with a life span of 256 years. It has been mentioned in relevant reports that he is a scholar of traditional Chinese medicine in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and a famous long-lived old man in the world. Legend has it that when he was 100 years old, he received a special award from the government for his outstanding achievements in Chinese medicine. He claimed that when he was 200 years old, he still often lectured at universities. During this period, he also received many visits from Western scholars.
And the most enviable thing is that this product has a total of 24 wives and 180 descendants. At that time, the New York Times and Time magazine also made special reports on the subject. According to the estimation of this era, he should have been born in the 16th year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, and has gone through nine dynasties of Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong, Jiaqing, Daoguang, Xianfeng, Tongzhi, Guangxu, and Xuantong to the Republic of China, and has been alive for 256 years, which is one of the most rare longevity stars in the world.
As for its authenticity, it is difficult to say, most people think that this person is a wonderful doctor from a family of traditional Chinese medicine, who is well versed in the way of health preservation and the method of practicing qi, and some people think that this is deliberately made up by someone, in order to deceive the world and steal his name. Because I haven't seen it, right and wrong are between true and false, but, under the current conditions, you can still find "health secrets" about him in many places. The exposition in the book has a strong traditional color, abandoning nothing else, and from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine theory, it still has some research value.
