The characteristics of Shaolin Five Boxing are "form as fist, meaning as god, simple and clear, fierce fist", rich in masculine beauty. Its essence is: "pay attention not to inject gas, inject gas without force, see the force of the force, see the force of the force, see the force of the force, see the force of the force, see the force of the force"

During the great years of Mourning Sect, Songshan Shaolin Temple Bai Yufeng (law name Qiuyue) founded Shaolin Five Boxing, and then passed to Jueyuan monk, the two wrote, systematically expounded the characteristics of the dragon, tiger, leopard, snake, crane five fists and hands, feet, body, eyes, footwork and the practice of the combination of five fists.

Bright? During the Jiajing period, the Japanese invaded the southeast coast of China, and the imperial court repeatedly issued edicts to the warrior monk Pingkou of the Shaolin Temple in Songshan Mountain. At that time, many warrior monks built temples on the spot to participate in Zen meditation and teach disciples to pass on their skills. In the Qing Dynasty, the two monks of Shaolin Jingren and Jinglin moved south, and successively taught the Shaolin Five Fists in Fujian, Guangdong and other southern regions. Over time, the Northern Five Boxing absorbed the Southern Boxing and formed the Southern Shaolin Five Boxing.

Shaolin Five Boxing belongs to the pictographic boxing category, which is the bionic martial arts. The movements and demeanor of birds and beasts are vividly expressed in the boxing technique. The dragon roars, the tiger roars, the leopard scurries, the snake entangles, and the crane stands. All of them show the unity of birds and beasts and heaven and earth. Learn five punches. It is necessary to cultivate both inside and outside. With long boxing and southern boxing as the basic skills, and at the same time with internal strength and breath adjustment, so as to achieve "internal and external triad", that is, the feet, waist, and shoulders urge the three levels, and the essence, qi, and spirit are all one, with the shape as the fist, the meaning as the god, and the qi as the force. to turn off the anger.

Essence: The eight methods of flower boxing, that is, "swallowing, spitting, floating, sinking, sticking, leaving, lifting, dredging".

Shaolin Huaquan walks a gentle and elegant way, twisting left and right like waving flags in the wind, and attacking and defending with technical hands is just like the wind blowing willow catkins. The ups and downs are like flowing clouds and water, and the tension and relaxation are as slow as the tides rise and fall. The mystery of Huaquan is not mainly in the moves. It's more about the processing of strength. "Shoot quickly, hit without showing your shape, stick your clothes and hit them, and your hands will be strong, and you will lose your strength when you leave your body." The flower boxing is short and concise, and the ruler stick weapons in the fighting room can be practiced freely, fully embodying the characteristics of "the land of boxing and lying cows". Celebrity Jin Shengsigh once summed it up as: "Flower boxing is a short fight all the way." ”

The swallow bell is a unique weapon of Shaolin flower boxing. The swallow bell is a two-handed short blade, and its shape resembles the body shape of a swallow. When flattening, he moves and jumps lightly and abnormally, and after jumping, he volleys through the sky and hits the sky. The figure is wonderful, soft and rigid, and it can't hide the slightest murderous intent inside.

Quanzhou flower boxing was first seen in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. At that time, the two private school teachers of Quanzhou Xuefu Road, Zhou Cangyu and Zhou Runyu brothers, were the founding patriarchs of Quanzhou Huaquan. The two passed this fist to Lin Chaotai, and Lin passed it to Zheng Lianlai, and Zheng Lianlai passed it to his son Zheng Kunyan.

Shaolin Luohan boxing features: "The boxing path is clear and concise, short and compact, flexible and changeable. "Jingyi:" Shot like an arrow, closed like a cotton, a successful move, a chain attack. "Luohan boxing theory infiltrates the traditional Chinese philosophical viewpoint of "mutual growth and mutual restraint, one elimination of the other, and the opposite of things". The change of its hand shape reflects the theory of the five elements of yin and yang. The shape of the Luohan boxer is divided into five branches according to the "five elements": "The upward palm is water, the standing palm is wood, the fighting palm is fire, the fist is earth, and the hook hand is gold." At the same time, various hand shapes have different movement requirements: "Water branches are like flowing water, wood branches are interspersed like moving arrows, fire branches are like flames rushing to the sky, wood branches are heavy like iron, and gold branches are deformed like hooks." The ever-changing "three palms, one fist and one hook" has created the flexibility of Luohan boxing, which can often win surprisingly in actual combat.

Luohan Boxing not only has unique moves, but also has good insights in the study of martial arts. "Martial arts practitioners can be divided into three realms: to practice, to be rigid and soft, rigid but not soft, soft but not rigid, for inferior; With qi, can be rigid, can be soft, rigid and soft, and the qi reaches the whole body, which is the middle vehicle; With divine luck, the virtual and the real complement each other, the rigidity and softness, and the strength through the outside of the body is superior. "There are differences in the level of people who practice martial arts, the way of martial arts is not in the line but in the gods, the dance is easy but the spirit is difficult, the practitioner's understanding is required, and it also needs long-term speculation and study. Its moves include "the monk holds the scriptures, the drunken arhat, the boy picks the onions, and the serial attack ......"

"One word and one body" is a unique offensive and defensive method of Luohan Boxing. Whether attacking or defending, Luohan Fist aims at the opponent's center with his side, and his front hand is like a bow, adapting to the situation with inch strength or defense or attack; After hand to hand, up or down, guard the rib guard. This concept of striking is similar to today's martial arts!

As the saying goes, "South Fist North Leg". It is generally believed that leg kung fu is not the strength of the southern school of martial arts, but the leg kung fu of Luohan boxing cannot be ignored. Different from the high-take-off kick of the "North Leg", Luohan Fist is a low-leg kick, with a variety of paces, large concealment, and a stable center of gravity.

The traditional unique weapon of the Luohan Gate is the "Crazy Demon Zen Staff", also known as the "Lu Zhi Drunk Mountain Gate Staff". It is nearly two meters long, weighs five kilograms, and has two shovels of the sun and moon at each end. Legend: This staff method was originally owned by Changbai Mountain Daoyue Zhenren. Master Zangxuan, a high-ranking monk in Youfang, had a close relationship with the Taoist chief, and the two often discussed martial arts with each other and learned martial arts from each other. After the monk learned the mad wand method, he came to the Shaolin Temple in Quanzhou and taught the Shaolin monks the mastery, so it has been passed down to this day. The mad wand method of "splitting, cutting, intercepting, poking, picking, teasing, sweeping, hanging, and stabbing" is a big opening and closing, and it is as clever as a clumsy dragon, which is as light and vigorous as a dragon and a phoenix, and as brave and ruthless as the autumn wind sweeping the leaves. The names of its moves include "Open the Mountain Gate", "Shoulder the Sun and the Moon", "Horror and Meditation" and so on.

Hou Junhuan, a lay disciple of Shaolin Temple in Quanzhou, is a generation of grandmasters of the Luohan Gate. During the period of the Republic of China, Zhuangzi worshiped under Hou Junhuan and learned the most complete Arhat Gate boxing and weapon routines, including the Arhat Three Battles, Shaolin Boxing, Dragon and Tiger Arhat Boxing, Wuzhi Shengke Technique, Wuzhi Sparring and Dharma Stick Method, Demon Zen Staff and Bloody Blade Knife. Later passed on to his children.

Shaolin Dragon Fist is also known as Dragon Fist. Features: "Ups and downs, waist and horses." Portal Eye Section. Movement and spirit. Jingyi: "There is a bridge and a broken bridge." There is no bridge to make a bridge, and pay attention to practicing the gods.

Longzun boxing has a total of 17 sets of boxing methods, strong and powerful, rigid and soft, unpretentious, conducive to actual combat, the move is not to fight and defend, there is no show, but each hand changes in an instant can play a "block, defense, attack" three effects. "Swallow, like a golden cat catching mice; Spit. Like a hungry tiger out of the forest; Floating, the Roc spreads its wings; Shen, like an old man holding a crutch". It seems to be defense-oriented, but it can lure the enemy deep and win by surprise.

Such as the "Three Lion Boxing" routine in Longzun Boxing: the two fists run out, the momentum is magnificent, and the middle finger protrudes by an inch, like a dragon's head. When changing left and right, the movement is fast and has a sense of wholeness. It verifies the unpredictable changes of the ancients' "dragon without a head". When moving, it looks like a yellow dragon boiling water. pushing the boat in the waves; When it is quiet, it is easy to recuperate and have the power of the mountains. Sometimes standing still, sometimes suddenly moving quickly. Although the range of movement and the contraction range of this set of punches are not large, they can play the effect of "blocking, defending, and attacking" between shaking and turning: one punch quickly resists the enemy's first attack, and the other punch prevents the enemy's second attack, and then uses the close range with the enemy to quickly attack, that is, "there is a bridge to break the bridge, and there is no bridge to make a bridge".

Longzun boxing is not limited by the venue, there is a "place to punch the cow", you can hold tea with one hand, make a move with the other, and drink tea to compare the high and low. The secret of Longzun boxing is "practicing God", the foundation is "three battles", luck should be heavy dantian, the eye method pays attention to the eye, the footwork requires stability and flexibility, and the boxing law pays attention to the "portal". "When punching, the elbow should not be more than a fist away from the ribs, and the height of the punch should not exceed the shoulder", and the technique should be "bent but not bent, straight but not straight, in and out, everything is free", in order to ensure the strength of defense and offense, and play the role of borrowing force. Its highest level is the "six buckets".

The dragon fist that spreads in Quanzhou is the Shaolin Temple dragon fist. This method comes from the Shaolin Temple in Songshan, Henan, Qing? During the Yongzheng period, Elder Tiezhu came to Fujian, passed through Xinghua Xianyou County, accepted Zhushan as a disciple, and then passed on the Longzun fist. Three years later, Zhu Shan completed his studies and passed it on to Wu Shentian, the first generation of lay people. Zhu Shan passed on Gutian Peng Decheng (the second generation of the layman), and Decheng passed on the third generation of the layman Peng Jinshan. In 1945, Master Yichi (Huang Chengmao), who was passed to West Street in Quanzhou City, was already the tenth generation of lay families.

The dragon fist method is divided into two schools, one is "straight to the clear stream", that is, the dragon method all the way; The other faction is the "Prince Tour Dragon Gate", that is, the two-way dragon method. Quanzhou is spread by the two-way dragon method. Longzun boxing is one of the seven great boxing in Fujian, which is still popular in Fuzhou, and JB people are also very interested in this boxing. As early as February 1993, Japan's Okinawa Gangyu Ryupo Karate Association went to Fuzhou to exchange and perform with the Gutian County martial arts team.

Shaolin Temple was founded in the 20th year of Taihe in the Northern Wei Dynasty (496 AD), which was built by Emperor Yuanhong of Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty to settle the Indian monk Bada (also known as the Buddha) to preach. At that time, the Indian Shamen monk Batuo traveled a long way to China, and was respected by Emperor Xiaowen and set up a Zen forest for him. Emperor Xiaowen ordered Dengfeng Zhixian to build a temple in the valley and forest of pine and cypress under the Shaomur Mountain Yin, under the Five Milk Peaks. "Shaolin, Shaolin also." Hence the name "Shaolin Temple". Batuo Bo passed the scriptures, lived in Shaolin for a long time, translated Buddhist scriptures, and spread Buddhism. Therefore, the inscription on the four sides of the stone square on the east side of the mountain gate has the words "Batuo Pioneering".

Bhatuo taught Theravada Buddhism at the Shaolin Temple. Hinayana was an early Indian Buddhism aimed at self-liberation, and hundreds of people came to Shaoxiu Monastery to seek Dharma. Huiguang and Seng Chou are the two high-foot disciples of Batuo. Huiguang is shown by learning, and monks are Zen; After the Dharma was preached, the lamp was transferred, but it did not continue to develop, and he moved outside the temple in old age. Shou finally Shaolin.

In the third year of Emperor Xiaochang of the Northern Wei Dynasty (527 AD), the Indian Brahmin caste, the twenty-eighth generation of the Buddha Bodhidharma of the Mahakal leaf, arrived in Guangzhou from the sea for three years, and then crossed the Yangtze River north to Shaolin Temple through Nanjing. On the basis of the creation of Bhadra, the believers were gathered and Zen Buddhism was taught. Since then, Shaolin has become famous for a while and has become the ancestral court of Zen Buddhism. In the third year of Tianping in the Eastern Wei Dynasty (536 A.D.), after Bodhidharma passed the law to Hui Ke, he left Shaolin Temple, died in Yumen, buried Bears Ears Mountain, and built a tower to set the forest temple.

Bodhidharma's deeds are recorded in detail in the "Continuation of the Legend of the High Monks" and the "Record of the Passing of the Lantern", and they are also mixed with some magical colors. Bodhidharma came to Shaolin to teach Mahayana Zen during the Xiaochang period of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Zen is an abbreviation of the Sanskrit word "Zena". i.e. Valium. The meaning of stopping distractions. Buddhism believes that the body is the law, the mouth is the sutra, and the meaning is Zen, but the Zen taught by Bodhidharma is different from this, and the point of Bodhidharma Zen lies in the wall. It is to surrender to the Buddha with a pure and unmixed mind. This is different from both the Indian Zen and the Hinayana Zen, and Bodhidharma taught his disciples in four volumes of the Ranga Sutra.

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Buddhism and Taoism prevailed. to the Northern Qi and Northern Zhou. Buddhist temples are all over the world, "there are many people who eat; There are few who live". Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty wanted to reform its shortcomings, adopted the suggestion of Wei Yuansong, a native of Chengdu, Yizhou, to "set the order of teaching", and on the twenty-seventh day of May in the third day of Jiande (574 AD), he ordered to prohibit the spread of Buddhism and Taoism, and the monks and nuns were sent back to their hometowns, and the temple nuns were abandoned, and the property was scattered to the princes and ministers, and the Shaolin Temple was not spared, and the temple statue was destroyed. The monks went into exile. Tang Peiyi's "Shaolin Temple Tablet" said: "Emperor Wu of Zhou, Jiandezhong." Na Yuan Songzhi said, the teachings of the old and the old. Rate Tugaran, salty from the waste. ”

In the year of the elephant (579-581 AD), Emperor Jing of the Northern Zhou Dynasty resumed Buddhism and Taoism, and the monks returned to Shaolin. Emperor Jing also selected 120 Bodhisattva monks to be placed in the temple. The temple was reorganized, and the name of the temple was changed to 陟岵寺. Several queens of the Northern Zhou Dynasty believed in Buddhism, and successively became six nuns, and Yang Jianzheng, who held the political power, tried to represent the Zhou, and spared no effort to promote Buddhism, and the Shaolin Temple was restored. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Shaolin Temple obtained a large amount of land and other property from the rulers, forming a temple estate.

Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty Zhou, edict five mountains, each build a Buddhist temple, and build a relic. At the beginning of the emperor's afternoon, still changed the Zhiyu Temple to the Shaolin Temple, and gave the Baiguwu Tuntian 100 hectares as the temple Zhuangtian, and the palace pagoda of the Shaolin Temple was also restored at this time. As a large monastic estate of 100 acres, the peasant war at the end of the Sui Dynasty was hit by the peasant army. "Shaolin Temple Tablet" said: "At the end of the great cause, this temple was robbed by thieves, the monks refused to be thieves, and then set fire to the tower courtyard, and all the people in the courtyard were destroyed together. ”

At the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the thirteen Shaolin monks were rewarded by Tang Taizong for their meritorious service to the Tang Dynasty. Songyue is close to Gyeonggi, and the Shaolin Temple located in Songyue has become the emperor's fortunate place, and Gaozong and Empress Wu continue to visit the Shaolin Temple, and each time there is a gift. Wu Zetian advocated Buddhism and exalted monks and nuns for the needs of the Tang Dynasty and Zhou. Therefore, Shaolin Temple in the period from Wude, Zhenguan to the vertical arch, Kaiyuan years, large-scale restoration and construction, to the eleventh year of the Shaolin Temple has been gorgeous and spectacular "Miao Lou Xiang Pavilion, overlooking the forest, the golden temple bell, on the shake Qing Han. Later, Shaolin Temple continued to flourish with the support of Emperor Li and Tang Dynasty, that is, Tang Wuzong destroyed Buddha, the Zen sect was still very developed, and Shaolin was the ancestral court of Zen Buddhism, so "Lingyue in the sea, as little as Song". Until the Song and Yuan dynasties did not decline, the Song Dynasty rose, and Confucianism and Buddhism converged and influenced each other. During the Tang and Song dynasties, Shaolin Temple has more than 14,000 acres of land, 540 acres of temple foundation, 48 questions of Loutai Palace, and 2,000 villagers with monks. There are more than 9,500 volumes of Buddhist scriptures in the collection of Song Yongxi.

Yuan Dynasty worships Buddha, Shaolin monks are very respectful, according to the Yuan Dynasty "Yugong Monk Tablet", the ancestor of the Yuan Dynasty ordered the Fuyu monk to master Shaolin, and led all the temples around Songyue, the first year of Huangzhuang (1312) awarded him as the big Sikong Kaifu Yi with the three divisions, posthumously awarded the title of Jin Guogong, Fuyu presided over Shaolin, "Xing servant abolished, the trainee said, the giver is like a hill, and the one who comes is like returning to the city." At that time, the Shaolin Temple was quite prosperous, the bell tower, the drum tower, the addition of the corridor and the kitchen of the library, the golden splendor, the palace was new. Chinese and foreign monks gathered, performing martial arts and worshipping the Buddha, and the crowd was often 2,000".

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Red Turban Army had been at least Lin, the monks fled, the temple was empty, unattended, and the temple Buddha statues were destroyed. After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the palace pavilion of Shaolin Temple has been repaired repeatedly, and has been added, between Xuande, more than 800 monks of the temple, the temple is decorated, the courtyard is full of flowers and water, Zhengde for three years, and the meditation hall is renovated, and thousands of people are in charge of the Shaolin period in the moonsky Zen master. In the 32nd and 33rd years of Jiajing, because of the meritorious service of the monks to resist the Japanese and suppress the peasant army, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty repaired the temple on a large scale and rebuilt the main hall of the first ancestral nunnery according to the old system. Shaolin Temple "opens the Dharma seat, apprentices from all directions, and the public profit is five hundred". During the Wanli period, the Pilu Pavilion was added. In the tenth year of Wanli (1582), the Empress Dowager gave Shaolin Temple 637 letters of Buddhist scriptures. The prince of the Ming Dynasty successively had eight people to the Shaolin Temple to become a monk, Shaolin Xun became "a giant temple in the region, the Lun of the Bondage, and the number of people gathered in thousands", and enjoyed the privileges of exemption from food and other privileges granted by the Ming Dynasty government.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the monks of Shaolin Temple were attacked by the peasant army for participating in the suppression of the activities of the peasant army. For more than 40 years since then, it has been plagued by fires for a long time, and it has been extremely cold and depressed. After the Qing Dynasty rulers Ping San Domain and Taiwan, the temple was built in Guangzhou, and the Shaolin Temple also began to be rebuilt at this time. Nearly 200 years from Kangxi to the end of Daoguang. The Shaolin Temple is constantly being renovated. Among them, the renovation project in the thirteenth year of Yongzheng (1735) is the largest. Emperors of the Qing Dynasty. For the Shaolin Temple, Kangxi personally wrote plaques for the mountain gate and the Daxiong Treasure Palace. Emperor Hongli came to Shaolin in the fifteenth year of Qianlong (1750), stayed overnight in the abbot's room, and wrote three poems in five words. He also personally wrote five plaques and four couplets for the Buddha hall.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, Shaolin Temple was repeatedly burned. In the seventeenth year of the Republic of China (1928), when the founding of the Henan Army and the National Army were at war, Fan Zhongxiu of the founding of the Henan Army took the Shaolin Temple as the headquarters. Arson to vent anger, the fire burned, the monks scattered, and the main buildings were all ashes. In the twenty-first year of the Republic of China, Lin Sen, Dai Chuanxian, Du Yuesheng and others reraised funds to rebuild.

In the early hours of the morning, the sky was just dawning, and Shaolin elder Shi Xingxing was meditating on the meditation bed, when suddenly, he felt someone in front of him and opened his eyes. A young man in a loose white shirt and white pants stood quietly in front of him, looking at him with a slight smile. Shaolin abbot Shi Xing immediately got up and bowed: "You are the 'Tai Chi Shaoxia', right?" I expect you to be here in the next few days. The young man in white clothes and white pants said respectfully: "Master Abbot." I am what they call 'Tai Chi Shaoxia', today I just want to discuss the confrontation of Shaolin Kung Fu, can you arrange for the first-class masters of your temple Kung Fu to fight together against each other? Shaolin abbot Shi Xing said: "I have made arrangements, let's go to the newly built practice hall together." After speaking, he led the "Tai Chi Young Heroes" to the practice hall together.

Gu Xiaolong under the leadership of the abbot Shi Xing, came to the new practice hall of the Shaolin Temple, only to see that Qi Sa had already lined up a team of eight Shaolin elites, the oldest was only twenty-five or six years old, and the youngest was only fifteen or sixteen years old. It is the best Shaolin descendant of the abbot master's true inheritance.

Shi Xiaohu, Shi Xiao Niu, Shi Xiao Monkey, Shi Xiao Crane, and Shi Xiao Wolf took the lead in the appearance, and as soon as they appeared, they put out the Shaolin Little Arhat Formation. The big and small Arhat Formation is the famous formation of the Shaolin School, it is the barrier to deal with strong enemies in the Shaolin Temple, for hundreds of years, I have never heard of the legend of someone breaking out of the Arhat Array. It is divided into "Eighteen Little Arhats" and "One Hundred and Eight Arhats". When the "Little Arhat Formation" faced the enemy, the five members joined forces to surround the enemy, flowing like clouds and water, and stopping like a mountain, making it extremely difficult for the enemy to break through. This formation is like a python coiled into a snake formation, with the beginning and the end corresponding, and there is no flaw.

The "One Hundred and Eight Arhat Array" is composed of one hundred and eight monks, at this time it is divided into twelve throws, each Yang is ninety-eight, rows of vertical and horizontal pre-standing, neat, and feel very calm, this array contains an extremely strong force, the offender will die! Any master in the world, standing in front of this formation, has to lose psychologically for a while......

Once the group attack is launched, the momentum is continuous and endless, and this wheel group attack is hard fighting, even if it is not killed, after a long time, it will be exhausted to death. The crowd recited a Buddha name, the strong wind in the courtyard emptied and stirred, the monk's clothes fluttered, and the opponent felt a flower in front of him, and then the whole body felt countless indescribable potential oppression. It is like throwing yourself into a very rapid whirlpool, and you can't help but spin and immerse yourself, even if you have the courage to fight the world, you will end up exhausted and captured.

Gu Xiaolong showed a happy smile at the corner of his mouth when he saw the formation, he could fight against the eighteen Arhat formations, which are famous in the martial arts of country C, and there were very few people who could retreat with their whole bodies, and they had the heart to show their skills today, not only to retreat with their whole body, but also to break the eighteen Arhat formations and create a miracle of breaking the formation.

The basic boxing method of the Eighteen Arhat Formation is the Eighteen Arhat Boxing, which is the secret kung fu of Shaolin Temple and one of the representative boxing techniques. Its main characteristics are mainly technical strikes, rigorous structure, regular power frame, simple and generous, and coherent action. Daintily; Shoot up, middle and down, inside and outside into yin and yang; Break down above, break up below; Pointing to the right to the left, the sound of the east hitting the west; Fiction and reality are uncertain, fast and changeable. It is required to blow your teeth, make a sound like thunder, shake your body and arms, twist your waist and adjust your hips, shake your strength, cheer with your voice, and promote your strength with your breath.

Shiyan boxing, Wudang is the inner family, and Shaolin is the outer family. And Luohan Boxing is really the Shaolin family, for the inner family secret, created from the Tianzhu monk Dharma. The ancient primitive Arhat boxing is different from the so-called Luohan boxing today, which is the orthodox patriarchal method of the Shaolin divisions.

Luohan boxing, according to legend, was created by the Tianzhu monk Dharma. Liang Datong Ding Wei. Bodhidharma entered the Central Plains barefoot. Lecture on Zen Buddhism at the Shaolin Temple. Seeing that all the monks were yellow and thin, their spirits were not high, and some of them were sluggish and sleepy, and their bodies were dying, they said: "Although the monks do not focus on the body, they should not be unclear about sexuality, so that the soul is separated. If you want to understand nature, you must first strengthen your body, then your body is strong and your soul is easy to understand. So he created the eighteen hands of the Arhat fist and gave it to the monks. After only a few months of cultivation, everyone is full of energy, and this is the beginning. At that time, the so-called Luohan boxers only had these eighteen hands, and there was no name of innate and acquired. When it came to the Jin Yuan, Bai Yufeng shaved into the mountain, and obtained this eighteen hands, which was a fusion of changes, and the subtlety of the elucidation was increased to one hundred and eighteen hands. The number of one hundred and eighteen arhats. So far, the eighteen hands passed on by Bodhidharma have been called the eighteen hands of the first eighteen hands of the Congenital Arhat Boxing. And Bai's 18 hands are called the day after tomorrow.

The innate and acquired Luohan boxing, that is, the formation and development, so in the later period, all the Luohan boxing formed by the Bodhidharma eighteen hands or the Bai's one hundred and eighteen hands as the patriarchal method can be called the acquired Luohan boxing.

The congenital Arhat boxing, that is, the eighteen hands at its beginning, is the orthodox patriarchal method of the Shaolin masters, the eighteen hands of the law, the essence of the collection, without losing the authenticity. Since the birth of the Bodhidharma Zen master, the famous giant hands have many inheritances to play, and its theoretical basis is the Zen method passed on by the first ancestor Bodhidharma: "Do not set up words, do not teach outside the teaching, directly point to the hearts of the people, and become a Buddha by seeing nature." In its practice, it has always embodied the Zen spirit of "no thought for the sect", focusing on breathing and breathing, qi and six veins, guarding the heart and staying in the fate, and stopping the heart from being chaotic, so it is also called "Shaolin Heart Law Arhat Boxing". There is a poem that says: "Dharma Moses came without a word, all by heart and effort, if you want to find Buddhism in the scriptures, the tip of the pen is dipped in Dongting Lake." "The eighteen hands of the first eighteen hands of the congenital Arhat Boxing, each single potential is the pile gong of refining qi, which can not only make the essence and divine power sufficient, but also make the lower plate stable, both inside and outside, both divine and shaped, both static and moving, and the kung fu of easy tendon washing is everywhere, and the effect of double cultivation of life can be obtained.

The eighteen arhats first referred to the eighteen arhats in Buddhist legends who lived forever in the world and upheld the Dharma. The Eighteen Arhats are from the Sixteen Arhats plus two Venerables, and the Eighteen Arhats originally had only 16 Arhats, all of whom were disciples of Shakyamuni and were all historical figures. The Sixteen Arhats were mainly popular in the Tang Dynasty, and by the end of the Tang Dynasty, eighteen Arhats began to appear, and by the Song Dynasty, the Eighteen Arhats were prevalent. the appearance of the eighteen arhats; It may be related to the traditional Shaolin Eighteen Arhat preference in Chinese culture.

The Sixteen Arhats (Arhats are arhats, also known as the Sixteen Venerables). According to the scriptures, sixteen disciples of the Buddha were instructed by the Buddha not to enter Nirvana. In the 2nd century A.D., the Venerable Qingyou of Shiziguo (present-day Sri Lanka) wrote the Records of the Dharma Dwelling, which recorded the names of the sixteen arhats and the regions where they lived. After this book was translated by Master Xuanzang, the 16 Arhats were generally respected by Buddhists in China. By the time of the fifth dynasty, drawing and engraving had become more common. Later, the painter painted the Eighteen Arhats, and it is speculated that the original intention of the painter may have been to paint Qingyou, the author of "The Book of Fa Zhu", and Xuanzang, the translator, together. However, when later generations marked the name of the Arhat, they mistakenly listed Qingyou as the seventeenth living Arhat, and repeated the name of the first Arhat to become the eighteenth. Although some people in the Song Dynasty have pointed out the mistakes, because some of the people who praised the paintings were famous calligraphers, painters and writers, such as Guan Xiu, Su Dongpo, Zhao Songxue and others, so the eighteen arhats easily spread in our country.

The earliest record of this event was Su Shi in the Song Dynasty, who listed the names of the eighteen Arhats one by one in the article "Returning from the South China Sea to Qingyuan Gorge Baolin Temple to Praise the Eighteen Arhats Painted by Chanyue". The first sixteen Arhats are the names of the sixteen Arhats listed in the "Dharma Residence Record", and the new two Arhats are added, and the seventeenth is "Qingyou Venerable", that is, the author of the "Dharma Residence Record". The eighteenth is "Venerable Bintou Lu", which is actually the same as the first one, except that one uses the full name and the other uses the honorific title. Later, the Song Dynasty Zhipan put forward a new opinion in the "Buddha Statistics" volume 33, believing that the seventeenth should be the Venerable Kasya, and the eighteenth should be the Venerable Gentleman, that is, the two of the "Four Arhats" who are not among the "Sixteen Arhats".

However, during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the emperor and Zhang Jiahu Tuketu believed that the seventeenth Arhat should be the Dragon Descending Arhat, that is, the Venerable Jiaye, and the eighteenth should be the Fuhu Arhat, that is, the Venerable Maitreya. The emperor decreed that since then, the eighteen arhats have been subject to the imperial seal. The seventeenth of the eighteen Arhats of Tibetan Buddhism is Lady Maya, the mother of Shakyamuni, and the eighteenth is Maitreya. After the eighteen arhats replaced the sixteen arhats, the influence became greater and greater.
