Chapter 103 returns to the Taiyi Five Elements Fist of Zhongnan Mountain
Wang Chongyang was the founder of Quanzhenjiao, an important sect of Taoism, and was born in the second year of Zongzheng and Hui of the Song Dynasty (1112). It is said that because he liked Tao Yuanming, he changed his name to Zhiming. And because he loves chrysanthemums as much as Tao Yuanming, and chrysanthemums bloom during the Double Ninth Festival, he gave himself the nickname Chongyangzi. Wang Chongyang was born in a wealthy family with a "rich family business". His life coincided with the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, the invasion of the Jin people, and the profound national disaster. When he was young, he "lamented the fall of the motherland and sympathized with the weakness of the nation." He had passed the literary and military examinations during the Tianchun period of Emperor Jin Xizong, and was able to raise both Chinese and martial arts, and was interested in saving the nation from danger. However, due to the weakness of the Southern Song Dynasty regime, the abandonment of the vast number of northern people, and the reluctance to be peaceful, Wang Chongyang's ambition was not able to be realized. After the failure of the anti-gold resistance, Wang Chongyang dug the cave dwelling, called it the "tomb of the living dead", and hung it on the square card, Shuyun: Wang is crazy (Wang calls himself a madman) spiritual position. Seven years later, Wang Chongyang walked out of the tomb of the living dead and began to realize his ideals in another way.
Wang Chongyang left home to retreat, integrating the ideas of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and took the "Book of Filial Piety", "Heart Sutra" and "Tao Te Ching" as classics, and founded the Quanzhen School. After that, he preached in Shaanxi, Shandong and other places, and accepted Ma Danyang, Qiu Chuji, Liu Chuxuan and other seven people as apprentices, laying a solid foundation for the development of the Quanzhen School. After Wang Chongyang's death, the seven sons of Quan Zhen persuaded Genghis Khan to stop the killing. Save the people from danger. It makes Quanzhen more popular all over the world. Wang Chongyang died in Henan. Later, it was returned to Zu'an Town, Zanghu County. During the "Cultural Revolution", the Chongyang Tomb was excavated and the spirit bones were thrown, and the kind-hearted Zu'an Village villager Zhao Maozhong secretly picked up the spirit bones and buried them piously, and handed them back to Chongyang Palace in 2005.
Wang Chongyang engaged in religious activities during the Jin Dynasty under the rule of the Jurchens all his life and never rebelled against the Jin court. Wang Chongyang's literary talent is still good, and he left many works. He opened up a new philosophical situation in Taoism. Wang Chongyang melts Taoism, Buddha Wang Chongyang, and Confucianism in one furnace, claiming that "Confucianism and Taoism are connected." The three religions have always been one ancestral style". It advocates the equality and unity of the three religions, and takes the "Tao Te Ching", "Prajna Heart Sutra" and "Filial Piety Sutra" as the compulsory classics for all true Taoists. Wang Chongyang is not yet a talisman, he is not yellow and white, he does not believe in the ascension of the day, and he uses the cultivation of Neidan as a means to become an immortal and preach the Tao. For this reason, it strongly advocates that cultivators must become monks, get rid of emotions and desires, endure shame and dirt, and practice asceticism. Wang Chongyang's way of practice was objectively well suited to the needs of the Jurchens and Mongol rulers.
When the Jurchens and Mongol rulers came to dominate the Central Plains, the most nerve-wracking thing was that there was no good way to resolve national contradictions. Wang Chongyang's Qing Xiu proposition just dissipated the fighting spirit of the Han people to resist foreign rule, which was conducive to alleviating national contradictions and consolidating the dominance of foreign monarchs. Therefore, the Quanzhen School founded by Wang Chongyang developed rapidly in the era of foreign rule of the Jin and Yuan dynasties, and received full official support, and Wang Chongyang was also canonized by the Yuan Dynasty Emperor as "Chongyang Quanzhen Kaihua Zhenjun" and "Chongyang Quanzhen Kaihua Fuji Emperor". The center of activity of the Quanzhen Sect was also fixed in the capital Yanjing, and the Taiji Temple (later renamed Changchun Palace) was established, which became the highest hall of the Quanzhen School.
The real Wang Chongyang has an unknown secret, he has the same experience as the Taoist founder Zhang Daoling, that is, when he was more than forty years old, he traveled to Zhongnan Mountain, and also came to the front of the patriarch's cave.
After Wang Chongyang returned to Shandong, he dug a cave tomb in Nanshi Village, named it "Tomb of the Living Dead", and practiced hard for seven years, the main purpose was to practice the internal skills taught by the Taoist patriarch Lao Tzu, as well as various martial arts moves and various Taoist theories. Because Wang Chongyang himself is a scholar who has read poetry and books, especially the cultivation of the big and small Zhou Tian, there has been a theoretical improvement, and the cheats of the big and small Zhou Tian have been handed down in later generations, with Wang Chongyang's version being the most orthodox, and it has been passed down to countless people. At the same time, he also paid special attention to the congenital and acquired gossip, and reached a broad and profound level of easy learning, so he also wrote books and said, leaving an immortal legacy for future generations.
However, Wang Chongyang founded the Quanzhen Sect, and the Quanzhen Sect set the ancestral court to end in Nanshan, all because he was the person who was selected by Lao Tzu to protect the cave at that time. The establishment of the Quanzhen Sect was because the society was too turbulent at that time, and the war continued for many years, and it was necessary to increase the number of people in case of emergency, and the Quanzhen Sect was at its most famous, and the number of followers almost reached hundreds of thousands, which played a good role in protecting the Patriarch Cave.
Since the Song, Jin and Yuan Dynasty, the Quanzhen Sect has taken on the responsibility of protecting the cave, and passed down from generation to generation, every person who protects the cave must be assessed by the Taoist patriarch Lao Tzu dozens of Jiazi's true mustard rice, and personally taught and infused with internal strength, its internal strength and martial arts must be the first master of contemporary times, inherited to modern times, that is, by Gu Xiaolong's grandfather Gu Mu Dao Chang to bear it. Among the guardians of the Taoist Patriarch's Cave in this generation, the skill of the ancient wood Taoist has reached more than two jiazi and two true mustard seeds.
Gu Xiaolong admired the intoxicating scenery of Zhongnan Mountain, and after paying homage to the relics of the Taoist patriarch, he browsed the Taoist temple of the complete true religion, and transported the neutrino-sized Zhou Tianzhen mustard seed rice to realize the internal strength of the field, and instantly crossed the deep valley into the patriarch's cave. There is no path to this valley, so no one has ever entered it, and once you pass through it, it is a paradise. Gu Xiaolong walked comfortably on the path leading to the residence of the ancient wooden road chief, and revisited the old place leisurely.
Suddenly, a breeze blew from behind, Gu Xiaolong actually knew that there was a pair of eyes staring at him all along, and this breeze was provoked by the sneak attack of the people with these eyes. Of course, Gu Xiaolong knew who this was, this was his little nephew Gu Xiaohu, who had only known his name and had never met. Gu Xiaohu, like Gu Xiaolong, was directly sent to this barren mountain and wild mountain as soon as he was born, and began to practice the top internal strength of Taoism from the day he was born. You must know that this son is also a prodigy who practices martial arts, since birth. The second line of his appointment and governor has never been broken.
The two lines of people's governors start from the time of birth. Just call out the first one. The upper end of the second pulse of Ren Du is disconnected, and the first stool pulled out, the second pulse of Ren Du is disconnected from the lower end, and the second pulse of Ren Du of this son is like a fork in the road, no matter how it is called, this Ren Du two pulse is continuous, and according to Gumu Dao Chang, its innate true qi is constantly running. What a rare genius.
This subtle breeze blew towards the back of Gu Xiaolong's neck, but somehow it blew over his head, of course, this is due to what kind of person Gu Xiaolong is, his internal strength and martial arts are dozens of times higher than Gu Xiaohu, Gu Xiaohu's sneak attack did not pose a threat to him at all, but was easily avoided by Gu Xiaolong with a breeze swinging willow. Not only did he avoid it, but a chubby and fat little child was also firmly stuck by Gu Xiaolong with Tai Chi stickiness, and he couldn't get rid of it.
It's still Gu Xiaolong's subordinates who show mercy. As soon as he suddenly withdrew, the little child was able to get rid of the stickiness. Like an off-string arrow, it disappeared into the jungle in an instant. But after a while, he pouted, and the fat salesman crossed his waist, standing in the middle of the road, and after seeing Gu Xiaolong Shi Shiran approaching, he shouted in a crisp childish voice: "Hey! Who are you, how did you get here, don't go any further, or I'm going to beat you!" Gu Xiaolong listened to him with pleasure, and teased him with a smile: "Hey! Who are you, little child? Why are you in my way? Are you going to hit me? I'm so scared! Let's give it a try! The little child said angrily: "I am Xiaohu, my kung fu is very good, it hurts to fight people, if you don't believe it, you can try." ”

Ancient Chinese philosophers abstracted five different substances from the material world: water, fire, wood, metal, and earth, as the elements that make up all things, called the "five elements". Furthermore, the relationship between the five elements is used to illustrate the law of interdependence and mutual restraint between things.
Taiyi is also energetic. A person's life depends on his true qi. The predecessors of Wudang martial arts are based on traditional cultural theories. With the concepts of yin and yang, five elements, eight trigrams, nine palaces and the like, the five elements are combined with fist postures and the human body to explain its boxing principles and exercise rules.
First, based on the form, performance, and orientation of the five elements, the basic fist style is composed of the five elements system, which is the basic element of each fist style: such as the front, back, left, right, and middle five directions of the human body, and the "progress, regression, left look, right hope, and middle determination" are the five elements. From the action choreography and action route, Taiyi Five Elements Fist closely follows the principle of the five elements, and walks through the Nine Palaces in an orderly manner.
Second, the five elements are combined with the human body. Commonly used are the five elements with the five organs, the internal and external five elements are connected with each other, and they are also connected with the technique. "The inner five elements should be combined, and the outer five elements should be smooth." "The heart is interdependent, let it be natural", according to the number of its five elements, adjust the balance of yin and yang. It is precisely people who have yin and yang, formed in the five elements, guided by the truth, self-cultivation for the purpose, and technical attack as the final learning. It embodies the Taoist view of "the unity of heaven and man", which is intended to pursue nature and return to simplicity. "Based on quietness and softness", the organic combination of health preservation and technical attack is the basic guiding ideology of Taiyi Five Elements Boxing. Third, the principle of mutual growth and restraint of the five elements is used to standardize boxing. Taiyi Five Elements Fist Twists and turns, looks around the eight directions, divides the five elements of yin and yang, steps on the gossip, and wears the nine palaces, "so that where the strength goes, the posture will follow; Where the posture goes, the strength is the attention". One move and one potential yin and yang seep together, changing in the Bagua array, changing in the Taiji circle and the four corners of the Quartet, forming a pattern of nine palaces traveling; The hand is encircled, the feet are bracketed, the waist is rotated with the crotch, the shoulders and hips are opposite, the hips are twisted, and the clouds and rivers are flowing in the abbot's place, the momentum is endless, and the vitality is spread according to the five elements (circulation) of the human body, so that the internal qi is smooth and gathered, which helps the formation of internal strength. This kind of internal and external unity, the refinement and sublimation of the unity of heaven and man. This is the purpose of cultivation, which is to maintain one's health and one's self-defense.
The basic techniques of Taiyi Five Elements Boxing: based on quietness, soft as the shape, and far-reaching. Static braking, soft to overcome rigidity, still meaning is not still strength. Seek stillness in motion, seek movement in stillness, and emphasize the meaning without reshape. Energetic, heart-to-heart, not hard resistance. The defense is located in the size of the millimeter, and the brake is closed in the grappling.

Wrap your hands around and walk in an arc with your feet. Soft and soft, round and soft. It moves like a snake, and is as soft as a silkworm cocoon.
The health characteristics of Taiyi Five Elements Boxing: natural breathing, relaxation of the whole body; Calm and dedicated, demeanor and spirit; The inner and outer triad is intertwined; Let yin and yang, the body is upright; When you are angry, you can do it at will; The inside and outside are one, and the god and form are both; The eight veins of the strange meridians flow smoothly throughout the body; The five elements of Taiyi are designed to nourish the body.
It conforms to the law of man and nature. The choreography and creation of Wudang Taiyi Five Elements Fist not only conforms to the laws of human physiology, but also conforms to the laws of nature, and has three unique characteristics. First, it emphasizes the unity of fist and qi, and uses the intention to induce qi, and the internal qi runs around the body with the change of fist momentum, which is endlessly changing, and benefits both body and mind; The second is to require the combination of rigidity and softness, rigidity hidden in the inside, softness in the surface, softness in the rigidity, softness in the rigidity, with the strength of flexibility, coherent in the whole; The third is that when the internal qi is running, there is movement and stillness, and there is movement in the movement, and the static braking is used to combine movement and static, and the mind is interdependent, integrating health preservation and boxing.
