In the martial arts world, most of them are used to seeing swords and swords. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info martial arts is always inseparable from the figure of the sword and sword. The swordsman is proud of the world, and the swordsman is adrift in the rivers and lakes. Everyone has a chivalrous dream in their hearts when they are young - the head and neck are taken up, and they are happy to enmity and hatred. Knives and swords, these two cold weapons, have witnessed the warmth and coldness of countless human beings, and when it gradually moves away from the modern era, it can only look up to the stories and images to construct its own rivers and lakes.

In ancient China, there was a legend of Xingtian Dance and Cadre Mo Evil Sword, and there was also Jing Ke who assassinated the King of Qin, Ji Li Sword Tomb hung a sword, and Xiang Yu killed Wujiang's Kangran righteousness, which is the pride of the swordsman. When the sword is no longer the main weapon wielded on the battlefield, it is artistically artificialized by the literati, Li Bai draws his sword and looks around, Gong Zizhen has a sword and a sword, and it is elegant for thousands of years.

Japan is all about swords. Nowadays, the Japanese kendo stream is all over the world. The so-called kendo is nothing but the good name of "sword". Japanese samurai and ronin used swords. Probably in the literal sense, there is no distinction between swords. The sword is easy to stab, and the knife is good for slashing. So, from the narrow perspective of some martial arts films, television, and literature, I will briefly talk about my own feelings. The three martial arts movies I admire are Ang Lee's "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger", which almost transforms the sword into a Zen realm, which coincides with Miyamoto Musashi's concept of "sword and Zen", and the other two are the screen classic film "Smiling Proud Jianghu: The East is Undefeated" directed by Cheng Xiaodong (written by Tsui Hark) and "The Broken Knife" directed by Tsui Hark.

Taking these three movies as a starting point, I will briefly talk about my understanding. The former, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", poetizes the rivers and lakes, and the chic and elegant figure of the swordsman pops out with the blade of his fingers. Li Mubai, as a generation of heroes, has the style of a heroic gentleman with sword energy. The opening of the movie begins with Li Mubai returning to the mountains and forests and retreating from the sword, from the process of losing the sword and finding the sword, which involves many grievances in the rivers and lakes, to the realm of life and death in the void of breaking Zen, bringing people a taste of the unity of sword and Zen. The sword is here, and it fits the gentlemanly style of Confucianism and the Zen of Buddhism. The ancients used the sword as a decoration, much more than killing. I attribute this film to the realm of the way of the sword. For example, it is the novel "Miyamoto Musashi ● Sword and Zen" by Japanese writer Eiji Yoshikawa. Miyamoto Musashi is a well-known generation of Japanese sword masters, a kendo master in the 17th century, and a legendary figure 400 years ago, he killed countless people before the age of 17, determined to practice at the age of 21, and then won all the victories with 66 masters, and finally realized the supreme state of "unity of sword and Zen". It is understandable that Yoshikawa Hideyoshi elevated the practice of kendo to a level similar to that of Buddhism and Confucianism.

So, putting aside the realm of kendo, simply watching swordsmanship and swordsmanship, the last two movies give me a lot of feelings. Judging from the Dugu Nine Swords of Ling Hu Chong in the smiling proud rivers and lakes, between the heavens and the earth, it is like the wind, and the sword can be picked and broken, turning into a poetic free and easy. Dugu Nine Swords is divided into nine sword styles: general decision, broken sword, broken knife, broken gun, broken whip, broken rope, broken palm, broken arrow, and broken gas. is like a rainbow, and the viewer is not very happy. As a superior martial art, the sword style of Dugu Nine Swords is based on offense and defense, and fast is the mainstay. It's about speed, and it's overwhelming. It is said that among the Condor Heroes, Yang Guo, with the help of the Condor Heroes, obtained the Xuantie Heavy Sword of the Sword Demon Dugu to seek defeat, and then used this sword to become a generation of Condor Heroes. Xuantie Sword - "Heavy sword without edge, great ingenuity does not work", relying on the strength of sweeping thousands of armies, rather than speed, this may be another set of martial arts mastery realized by Dugu's predecessors. However, in my mind, the sword is still dominated by lightness.

In this way, let's look at the knife technique. What impressed me deeply in Tsui Hark's movie "The Knife Breaker" was the one-armed knife breaker Ding'an played by Zhao Wenzhuo. As a special martial arts movie, this film surprises me with three points: the first is that the narrative angle is different, telling the rivers and lakes through the mouth of the woman Xiaoling, a bit of self-pity and monologue; The mutilated background, the mutilated arms, the mutilated blades, and the mutilated knife score are enough in themselves, and I don't know how to tell this story of revenge. Due to the mutilation of limbs, the training of knife skills is extraordinary, not by splitting to win, but by the rotation of the body, the power is carried through the blade, and the chain is thrown out, so as to overcome the weakness of the blade and the weakness of one hand. The speed and strength of the sword technique practiced in this way are amazing. Moreover, there is no trace of such a knife technique, between rotations, it is impossible to parry, and the person has been split in half. The aesthetics of violence are unleashed heartily in this film. As far as the main body of this movie is concerned, it makes me feel an upward force. A broken life, as long as there is hope, can still allow oneself to live with dignity. When I see the figure of the Broken Knife Warrior, I always think of the figure of Yuhiko Inoue Ronin Swordsman in my mind. Such a knife man, with a background of duckweed, has a sense of sadness, and the knife has become thicker. It is worth mentioning that when it comes to knife techniques, it is still inseparable from the knife itself.

Since we talk about knives, we have to mention Japanese swords. Japanese swords, known for their beautiful shape and amazing cutting power. Chinese knives are mostly large knives and are thicker and heavier, while Japanese knives are lighter and sharper, and I prefer the latter. Even Ouyang Xiu has a poem: The treasure knife is close to Japan, and the more Jia has to the east of the sea.

The fish skin is attached to the fragrant wood sheath, and the yellow and white idle miscellaneous fish and copper.

Hundreds of gold into the hands of good deeds, admiration can be demons.

- "Japanese Sword Song"

The noble swords of the Heian period, inlaid with gold and jade, were honored as swords. There are three kinds of miracles in the ancestors of the Heavenly Emperor, and the "Imperial Style" stipulates that "when the emperor collapses, the imperial heir will practice it, and inherit the artifact of the ancestors", which is actually just a succession of swords and seals. Because the mirror is the body of Amaterasu, it cannot be moved. And the sword and seal, it is said that the Japanese emperor sank to the bottom of the sea in the battle of Genpei, and the treasure no longer exists. The sword that sank to the bottom of the sea is called the "Grass Pheasant Sword" (in mythology, it is called the Sky Cloud Sword). It is said that some people have seen it, and it is indeed a double-edged sword, two feet seven inches long. The original Japanese swords were all straight, as stated in "Wata", like a sword and a knife, like a knife and a double-edged sword. Around the middle of the Heian period, from the 10th to the 11th century, the sword gradually developed a curve. The scimitar suffers less impact than the straight knife and is more suitable for horizontal and vertical slashing. There is a ridge in the middle of the sword body, and the section is diamond-shaped, but the big sword does not have a ridge, and it relies on its weight to exert power.
