Chapter 32 The quest for knowledge has never ended, and the knowledge has never been deep

Since ancient times, there have been many sages who have admired imitating birds and beasts to practice martial arts and strengthen their bodies, especially Bozhou people. Hua Tuo, a local physician of the Three Kingdoms, created the "Five Fowl Opera" on the basis of the "Two Fowl Opera" ("Xiong Jing Bird Stretching") in the Zhuangzi. Its name and efficacy are recorded in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, the Biography of Fangshu, and the Biography of Hua Tuo: "I have a technique, and the play of five birds: one is called a tiger, two is called a deer, three is called a bear, four is called an ape, and five is called a bird." It is also used to remove diseases, and to benefit the hooves and feet, so as to be a guide. The body is unhappy, acting like a bird, sweating happily, because of the powder, the body is light and hungry. He is more than 90 years old, with smart ears and eyes, and strong teeth. ”

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Tao Hongjing recorded in detail in his "Nourishing Life Extension": "The tiger player, the distance between the limbs, the first three throws, but the second throw, the long waist, the side feet look up to the sky, that is, the return distance, the front, but each seven passes." Deer players, limbs apart, the introduction of the neck, left three right two, left and right stretch the feet, telescopic also three and two. The bear performer, who is leaning up and holding his knees with both hands, raises his head, squats on the ground on the left and seven on the right, and supports the ground with his hands left and right. Ape player, climbing objects self-hanging, telescopic body, up and down one seven, with feet to hang self-hanging, left and right seven, hand hook but standing, press the head seven each. Bird player, standing hands, one foot, two arms, raising eyebrows, two seven, sitting and stretching feet, hand in hand and foot distance of seven, two arms each seven. The husband and the five birds are tricks, let the force do it, sweat as the degree, sweat to coat the body with powder, eliminate grain food, benefit qi, remove all kinds of diseases, and those who can survive will be prolonged." In the book, Tao Hongjing not only described the specific operation steps of the five poultry operas, but also put forward the training principle of the five poultry operas - "let the strength be done, and sweat should be the degree".

This little tiger is about the size of three or five months now, and usually Yan Tang skinned and fed many small prey such as hares and pheasants that he usually obtained from hunting, but the little tiger did not eat at all. Yan Tang saw that this little tiger may have just escaped from the tigress, and it should not have been weaned yet. Yantang had no choice, so he had to get a lactating ewe and a female dog to breastfeed the little tiger, the little tiger's appetite is really not small, and it takes a lot of effort to feed it.

After another two or three months, the little tiger was able to eat meat, and his body gradually became stronger, more and more like a fierce beast, and more and more like a fight.

On this day, Huaiying, Qiji, and Fan Jiu'er had not yet arrived at the martial arts field after school, but they heard the scolding inside again and again, and they couldn't help but be shocked, and they said in their hearts who provoked the little tiger, but they didn't play. rushed in together, but saw Ruyu and the little tiger tumbling together. The little tiger usually fights with Jiu'er, Huaiying, Qiji, etc., without teeth and claws, but today it is very different from Ruyu's poop, it is said to open its teeth and claws, and scratch a lot of blood marks on Ruyu's snow-white face.

It turned out that the little tiger was not familiar with Ruyu, and he didn't like to deal with it, but Ruyu teased him in every way, and he couldn't help but get more and more angry, and finally made a big move.

Qi Ji rushed forward to stop Xiaohu, and saw Ruyu's strong martial arts, and was very surprised: "I usually don't see her working harder, but her martial arts are so good!" Fan Jiu'er looked puzzled and said with a smile: "In addition to her father's teaching, her mother also taught her one, not only did she learn more, but she also practiced more diligently than us." ”

At this time, Yantang and Su Lan and his wife also rushed over, and Su Lan couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw it; "You have been scratched on your face like this, if you have a scar because of this, and you will find your in-laws in the future, if you want to say that you were not fighting with someone, but were caught by a tiger, who would believe you?" Ruyu Yanran smiled: "I only follow my father and mother in my life, and I don't look for my in-laws." ”

Yan Tang reprimanded with a cold face: "This little tiger is nothing to us who have martial arts, and it is a terrible plague god for ordinary people." We get along with it on weekdays, give it good food and drink, never anger it, and consume its wild nature to prevent attacks. Now it's still small, but it's going to grow up soon, and at that time, the wildness will be attacked, and even a top martial arts master will be difficult to parry. Back then, your Uncle Wu Song once killed a tiger, which was really thrilling. You don't know how thick the sky is! ”

Ruyu cried: "You won't let me practice with it." Yan Tang said softly: "If you like it, you might as well come and practice together, but you must get along with it immediately, and you must not let it be very hostile, otherwise the wildness will be difficult to control." Ruyu burst into tears and laughed.

So Ruyu also came to work with Fan Jiu'er, Huaiying, and Qiji, and let the little tiger accompany him to practice in his spare time every day. It's still easy for girls to get close to, and after a few days, Ruyu and Xiaohu are the most familiar.

As the little tiger grows up day by day, the speed of the attack is fast, its strength is large, and its momentum is fierce, which is really beyond the reach of people. Several children are like treasures, and Xiaohu is reluctant to part for a moment, only Huaiying is devoted to literature, and is not very enthusiastic about martial arts. Yan Tang remembered his mother Liu's entrustment not to force him to practice martial arts, and he did not supervise it much.

King Yun went to the martial arts field again on this day, but what he held in his hand was not chess, but Go, and said: "Learning chess is originally to practice military affairs and learn tricks, but it is not to win the first place in the world of chess. Now it's time to learn Go again. "I am overjoyed, knowing that I am only more proficient in chess in this way, but I will not gain more, and I really don't want to indulge in it anymore, but learning Go again is different, and I will definitely gain a lot of money.

Huaiying is unwilling to play chess, and he is still reluctant. King Yun said with a smile: "It is rare for Huaiying to reach the peak of chess, but in the future, it is inevitable to continue to seek games, consult high-ranking talents, review gains and losses, eliminate arrogance, and study chess games, all of which are indispensable." In the future, it will be the same with Go, both of you will have to remember it. ”

King Yun said again: "Go, originated in China, called 'Yi' in ancient times, the pre-Qin "Shiben" has 'Yao Zao Go, Dan Zhu Shanzhi', ranked in the four arts of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, has always been valued by soldiers and literati.

"The Eastern Han Dynasty Bangu is not only a great historian with the same name as Taishi Gong, but also a military celebrity, once served as a middle guard with Dou Xian and Geng Bing to fight against the Huns, went to the fortress for more than 3,000 miles to climb Yanran Mountain, and made his own "Feng Yanran Mountain Inscription" engraved Shi Legong, Ji Hanweide. Ban Gu is not only an expert in the use of soldiers, but also writes the "Yi Zhi" is also very suitable for the strategy of using soldiers, pointing out that chess players are like generals, and they must have 'Su Zhang's posture, solid foundation and self-broadening', that is, Su Qin and Zhang Yi are as eloquent and strategic. The chess plan is thorough, and the overall situation is sought, 'there is a trend like Xia Yu controlling the water', and 'a hole is que, and the bad is sluggish'. The two armies confronted each other, 'making ambushes and deceitful, breaking through the encirclement and running rampant'. Don't worry about winning, think about defeat first, be lonely and protect yourself, 'both faults, weak and strong energy, close to the need to act, protect the corners, but make up for themselves, although defeat is not dead', all are the essence of the soldiers.

His disciple Ma Rong's "Go Fu" is better than "Yi Zhi", and he has a deeper understanding of chess art. The winning and losing strategy of Go is as subtle as hair, and the layout of the two sides is as intricate as a hemp ball. There are rules for attacking and defending the game, the defense must be firm, the attack must echo before and after, and the upper and lower connections cannot be abrupt. Otherwise, 'go deep into the greedy land and kill the dead soldiers', 'separate the upper and lower places, and close off on all sides', 'surround and scatter, and choke on the other'.

"Later, Huang Xian, who was in Ma Rong, wrote 'The Theory of Machines', which specifically discussed the virtual and real situation of Go. The opportunity of the game is just virtual and real. The real is empty, so it can complete its potential; False and real, so it can control its shape. Therefore, those who are good at playing can take advantage of their opportunities and not disperse, can hide their opportunities without being greedy, and fight first and then take advantage of the situation.

Ma Rong was the grandson of the famous general Ma Yuan of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and once entered the shogunate of the great general Deng Qiu, at that time, the general Confucian scholars believed that the virtue could be prosperous, and the martial arts should be abolished, so the military system was stopped, and the law of the battle formation was not emphasized, so the thieves swarmed, and the country was unprepared. Ma Rong was very dissatisfied with this, thinking that the way of civil and military affairs was valued by the sages, how could he not talk about martial arts? Therefore, his "Go Fu" talks most about the combination of Go and the art of war, and uses the battle of Go to drill soldiers as much as possible. Regard Go as a small battlefield, and treat Go as a soldier to fight, 'a three-foot game, a battle field, Chen Jushi's pawn, and the two enemies are equal'. Later, many military masters, such as Cao Cao, Sun Ce, and Lu Xun during the Three Kingdoms, were the leaders of the two battlefields of the field and the size of the chessboard. ”

King Yun looked at Huaiying, abandoned the disease and only listened to Go, there is nothing to do, since Go has not started, but when he heard about the battlefield military, he was very interested, that he liked to be lively, and he couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart: "I will teach Go and the art of war together, and I am immediately fascinated by the discipline of these two little monkeys, and I can't put it down." ”

So he said: "Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty Yuwen Yong likes chess, coincidentally, during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao Yan was very fond of Go, and often played against his ministers all night, and he also wrote his own chess books and articles such as "Chess Products", "Chess Law", "Chess Commentary", "Go Fu" and so on. At that time, the "Book of Chess" was refined on the basis of books such as Bangu's "Yi Zhi" and Ma Rong's "Go Fu", and its status can be seen on the same level.

Later, there were Tang Taizong Li Shimin, Southern Tang Yuanzong Li Jing, the later lord Li Yu, Emperor Taizong of this dynasty and other lords of a country who liked to use Go for military purposes. In particular, Li Shimin, who is not only a Go master, but also the world's first genius in the use of soldiers, and the heroic Li Jing and the bearded guest at that time used Go to talk about the war, and easily occupied the Central Plains.

Taizong of this dynasty also likes to use Go to play soldiers, and specially ordered Xu Xuan to write "Go Righteous Examples", which wrote all the Go tactical moves. Since then, the literati and military generals have been good at talking about chess, both chess and Go. During the reign of Renzong, Zhang Jing even attacked and defended Go, imitating "The Art of War" and writing "Thirteen Chapters of the Book of Chess", and the chess battle and the art of war inspired each other.

"Liu Zhongfu was the first national player of the first emperor Huizong, and he personally taught me Go, and I liked the "Thirteen Articles of the Book of Chess" the most, and I specially made annotations. He once said that the "Thirteen Articles of the Book of Chess" emphasizes strategy, and his own "Chess Formula" and the "Ten Decisions" written by Wang Jixin, a great chess scholar of the Tang Dynasty, emphasize tactics, each with its own emphasis, but it is really the same thing, and the synergy complements each other.

"I will use these chess scriptures to teach them together with Sun Tzu's Art of War and Zeng Gongliang's "General Essentials of Martial Arts" in the current dynasty, are you still afraid that you two will not be talented and interested?"

The two were overjoyed after hearing this, and they were even more energetic and eager to try.

King Yun spread out the Go board and pointed: "There are nineteen routes on the board, with a total of three hundred and sixty-one intersections, which is where the black and white chess pieces are placed. These nine intersections, marked by large black dots, are called 'star positions' for easy positioning, and the central ones are called 'Tian Yuan'. Tian Yuan is in the central place, the beginning of the beginning, the end of the ancestor, the star of the 'North Star', has its own vast and profound meaning. The chessboard is divided into sides, corners, and the middle belly because of the different directions, usually guarding the corners to get real profits, occupying the middle belly to get the outside potential, although it is roughly so, but there is no same game through the ages, sometimes it is different from chess, can not be generalized. ”

took out a chess book at the moment, but it was the boss's dilapidated state, and said happily: "Don't underestimate it for the two boys, although this book is worn, it is the manuscript of Xu Xuan's "Go Righteous Examples", and the future Bi Sheng movable type printing book is printed according to this book.
