What was the best weapon to fight a war in ancient China?

The gun is the king of all weapons! The gun is the king of all armies!

The gun used by the cavalry was called the big gun, and the one used by the infantry was called the small flower gun. The big gun is more than ten feet long, it is a whole ash tree, the gun handle is as thick as a duck's egg, the gun head is as thick as a duck's egg yolk. The big gun is long and heavy, two hands flat are difficult, very bad. Small lance is much shorter, but also much thinner, shaking up easy, the head of the gun flying, so the name of the lance. The big gun is usually trained to prevent injuries without the head of the gun is now often called "big pole". Shake the big pole is an important training means of internal martial arts, can practice the whole strength and listen to the strength. The big gun is heavy, only with the waist force to make open, good gun must be able to hear the gun head on the strength of the family, the family, in order not to lose. In the past, the internal spear technique was the best technique to "get rid of the affairs of the king and the world" and to seal the wife and children. The big gun is the most precious kung fu in the Taiji Sect, and it is not passed on by the master.

Eighteen kinds of weapons, can win only the knife, gun, sword and stick, the other is to bring the thing, when not true. Mr. Lao She in the "broken soul gun" in the "stick, the year knife, a lifetime of gun", the gun is the most profound in the weapon, the most difficult to learn. It is a person who knows how to knock around with a stick, but if you give him a gun, you don't know how to do it. The gun has the reputation of the king of all soldiers, the two armies against the most useful is the gun, knife stick is not counted. If the gun makes good, the gun itself has life. When the horse stepped on the battalion, "the gun is like a dragon", a zhang long gun to protect the people, the gun head cold light everywhere, the ghosts cry and wolves howl, the general won a hundred battles, is not relying on luck. The big gun is to change the dynasty, sweep the god of the universe, non-knife, stick can be compared. Internal gun law, Jingzhong Yue Wang created, loyal subjects and filial piety son passes on, deceitful and fraudulent villain does not deserve to know its wonders. Li Yaxuan does not pass the villain, is to pass, small smart may not be able to understand.

Now the circulation of the internal gun, many people like to name in the Three Kingdoms under the name of Zhao Yun, called "Zhao Zilong thirteen guns", there are also directly called "thirteen guns", or according to the sect called "Taiji thirteen gun Thirteen Guns" is just an imaginary number. Thirteen is just an imaginary number, the gun method is in fact three basic movements, block, take, tie, other movements can be evolved from these three. Zhao Zilong's era is too long ago, gun law attributed to Yue Fei is based on. King Yue Wumu had specially compiled an article describing the "Henan big gun" at that time, and there is not much difference between the construction and usage of the gun under the pen of King Yue at that time and now. Internal gun method formed in the Song Dynasty, before the Song Dynasty, such as the Tang Dynasty, although there are Luo Cheng such a famous gun, but the popular or horse long spear, such as single Xiongxin, Yuchigong. Horse long spear is the spear, spear and gun shape is exactly the same, but the use is not the same thing at all. Spear, long spear with hardwood, while the gun is flexible ash pole. All watchers do not underestimate this subtle difference, with flexible wax rod is a revolutionary progress, internal kung fu formally formed from now on. The courage of the big gun depends on the internal martial arts, otherwise it would be a dead wood, useless. Internal boxing is not only Taiji, Xingyi, Bagua and Taiji is the simultaneous development of Yang Lu Cicada Chenjiagou learning art, Bagua Dong Haichuan, Xingyi Li Luonong also have not been idle, internal boxing is a legacy. Chen Wangting created boxing said, really greedy for heaven's work for themselves, the crime is not great. Chen Wangting, if he heard his children and grandchildren so organized, must die of shame. Xingyiquan has always been to Yue Wu Mu Wang as the clan, this I support. King Yue clearly put forward the benefits of "Henan big gun", but in the contemporaneous and later martial arts did not attract attention. Take the Water Margin as an example, only a few good men such as Leopard Head, Jade Kirin and Shi Wen Gong used the spear. Although the internal martial arts and the great spear were not widely spread in King Yue's time, they were already well developed. King Yue commented on the battle at that time in his spearbook: when two horses met, both sides were afraid and poked their spears to the ground, as the ends of the spears were not even. This is not only because the iron spear is too heavy, change a lighter hardwood spear, as usual, can not lift, and wooden spear center of gravity in favor of the front, hit up the fear of regret. But once replaced with an elastic ash rod, driven by internal force, the gun is alive. The head of the gun only in the enemy's chest, face drilling, blocking can not block out, the more blocking the more bad luck. Yue's cavalry, Zhuxianzhen eight hundred broken 100,000, not just brave. Hate King Yue for the dim king, the traitorous party, the elite soldiers lost, but there are always one or two people to the internal martial arts and gun law have been passed down. Internal boxing, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, by Zhang Sanfeng's hand set into a masterpiece, the beginning of the internal and Taiji, to Chen Changxing, Yang Lu Cicada, when it is widely spread all over the world, shaped meaning, gossip, Taiji, a moment of celebrities, internal martial arts, gunnery, swordsmanship to the top of the heap. It is a pity that the era of cold weapons has also come to an end.

Spear, long spear with hardwood, no elasticity, buffer can not each other's impulse. The two spears intersect, the force is transmitted to the hand, if the angle is not appropriate, on the spot weapon to be out of hand, this is a leverage principle, the audience to push the spring door will know. Foreign spring door is very heavy, a long pole as a mechanism, in order to facilitate the two hands to move things with the buttocks when the door will open. Push the door if push is the handle side, children are pushed open, if wrong, push the door shaft side, can be difficult. Hardwood do horse lance, each other hit in the spear tip of the force, because leverage to the hand when dozens of times bigger, there still hold, so make the horse lance must be straight to the front, ten thousand can't be slanting, a slanting will be washed out of the hand. The western knight jousting, take a pole to stab each other, also too long, simply naive cute. So long lever, unless completely straight, as long as the lateral distance, the two horses a rush, stabbing in others, the other party is nothing, the rebound force is not to get the arm fracture inevitable. The Westerner's counterpart is to thicken the back of the pole, like a battering ram, relying on the impulse of the wood itself, when the collision to release the hand, so as not to hurt themselves. The British drive on the left side of the road, following the tradition of knightly jousting. Knights were all right-handed spear holders and had to be completely vertical to be effective in a duel, so they all drove on the left. I don't know if you have noticed, but nowadays in movies, knights duel on the right side of the road, this is for safety. With a tortoise shell like hard armor to cover the whole body, the two horses go to the right side of the hedge, "poles" horizontally over, waist gently on top of the pole will be broken, people have nothing to do. On this point of difference, the ancient life-and-death combat has become a good entertainment for young and old. As long as the horse goes to the right, everyone can be King Arthur and win a beautiful woman. Television played, the British people in the old castle to run this kind of tourism program, we have the opportunity to go to try, when you know what the kid said is not false.

The two horses met, all make hard weapons, hard touch, who heavy who take advantage of. "Water Margin" thunderbolt Qin Ming make wolf tooth stick, the vanguard Suo Chao make open axe, are this idea. Dozens of pounds of wolf-teeth stick, axe by horse power, sweeping over, can not be hard to fight. Hard to fight, the iron spear will be bent, two arms will have to fracture, and his side of the baton swinging, the hand is empty grip, nothing at all. Against this kind of enemy, the sledgehammer is the most useful. The hammer is heavier than the club, and when it is swung with a little speed, the impulse exceeds that of the club. When the hammer and the rod touch each other, the impulse is canceled out, and everyone's hands are empty, so they are not hurt. Hammer is shorter than the stick, back to change the move fast, while the enemy to collect the stick is not anxious, a hammer on the smash down. The gold soldiers love to make the wolf tooth stick, touch Yue Yun's golden hammer will all be finished. The key to make heavy weapons is to transport the weapon out of the speed, the hand must be empty grip, in order to prevent recoil. This is like playing tennis when holding the racket tightly one-handed hard to catch the ball will be town hurt bladder, loose grip, racket move up is not afraid. To the hundred pounds of gold hammer in a short period of time, without some natural strength can not be done. Bladder arm force is too small is useless, only by the waist, waist force to the hand, only to move heavy weapons. Internal kung fu talk about clever force, four or two to dial a thousand pounds, but really want to fight strength, make sledgehammer, as usual, no ambiguity. All because of the waist strong gas enough.

Heavy weapons swing up, as long as the hit on, enough to drink a pot, if you can not hit can be miserable. Heavy weapons are too much momentum, back to slow, to the enemy to take advantage of the opportunity. The book has recorded that Yuchi Gong where three single Xiongxin's horse lance. Single Xiongxin make good horse lance, hit Li Yuan never let go, must kill single big brother, Li Shiji to life family life insurance are not saved down. Single big brother's horse lance must be powerful, but did not hit on, can't go back to the hand, was Yuchigong rushed into the empty door, seize the lance and capture. Not only is the horse lance, wolf tooth stick, all the hard weapons, not hit on the open door, knife stick is not so.

Hard weapon, one is shocking hand, two is open door. But the ash pole of the gun is different, the ash pole has elasticity, with the head of the gun hard frame axe, stick, the gun is bent, there is a small buffer, the hand is not shocked, the enemy weapon's strength is also unloaded. Pewter rod can store energy, bending will rebound, as long as the gun handle a turn, the head of the gun will be taut out, hit the right, which is half of the credit is the enemy's own. This is the wonder of internal kung fu, attack and defense family, defense is attack, attack is also defense, an action to do two things. Television play Japanese aikido master and people over the stance, the disciple over there stretched out the stick for him to hit, first knocked away the other side of the weapon, and then hit the head, and then hit twice, like playing chess, you go one step, he went two, of course, what is what he won, there is no such a shameless ah! In fact, this shameless is also with the Chinese liars learn, the Japanese 200 million people a head, a little creativity is not, let him think independently might as well kill him. Poor Japan and South Korea are in the Chinese culture of the poison is too deep, and they can not solve.

White wax pole big gun defense is good, offense is also a move to break the enemy unambiguous. A gun to tie out, 10,000 plum blossoms, the first to break the chest of the heart mirror, and then drill into it. The gun flower flower, all deadly, do not know which to block. At this time, we must not block, a block on the end, ash rod is soft, hard to block just to be borrowed on the force, only to block out, that side of the gun handle a turn, the head of the gun immediately from the other direction to hit back, the force is also greater, which is still half of the enemy's half of my half of the credit. Boxing scripture said "stick afraid of nodding gun afraid of round", that is, the big gun but shake up, the gun head swinging, the gods are difficult to prevent. Against such experts, the only way is to shake up their own gun, ride up, so that the other side can not hear the force, he will not be good into the next move. If the two guns a ride, you hear his force, you can hit in the trend, both can be hit by force, can also be hit directly, just a little bit of the gun head wrong, a slide into the. If you can't hear it, you have to quickly change your stance and adopt a guarding style. Masters immediately than the gun and push hands on the ground is a reason, who heard the other side of the strength of the road, who will win, and make what moves have nothing to do, only amateurs will be happy: with what moves to break what what moves. The internal gun on the block, take, za three strokes, in fact, these three strokes can not be separated, only a random gun out, block, take, za three styles have, is considered to be on the battlefield of the good gun.

And the masters to be extra careful, the body should be loose, God should be gathered, can not hear the strength can not panic, never move, now the Ming Jin. As long as you do not move, is to hit the front, there is a glimmer of hope to escape, but by the other side to listen to the strength to fight in, as if the empty millions of soldiers outside, but was robbed of the army tent, the same way, there is no way. So the battlefield composure is the most important, the more urgent, the more to be calm. However, against the general small minions, broken copper and iron, do not need to be so worried. The general horse treads even camp, not afraid of others, a gun dance up, like a python wrapped around the tree, before and after the left and right, protecting the horses and men, hard into the hard back, the head of the gun everywhere, dipping on the death, touching the death. The audience may not be convinced: the same flesh and blood, why can have such courage. This is the unique wisdom of Chinese culture, Taoist philosophy and internal martial arts: the Tao of the subtle, wonderful in the yin and yang!

Kid I said: Yue Wang's ash pole big gun is the ancestor of internal martial arts. That's because the ash pole has elasticity, stored energy, and can be synthesized with people a big yin and yang. The one who can move the ash pole must be the one who understands the theory of yin and yang, and the one who understands the theory of yin and yang is the internal martial arts. Now some people practice shaking the ash pole is to take it as a means to practice on the power to means, this is going off the beaten track. The ash pole is more than ten feet long, without a little force, the head of the gun can not be lifted, but this force is not the hand of the force, the hand of the force is not enough, can only use the waist and legs of the force, the hand has to be loose and soft, and hear the elasticity of the pole before lifting the gun. My master taught me to practice this pole, the requirements of the arm extended, one hand grasping the handle of the gun, ten feet long pole must be leveled, one end is at least half an hour. This is my Taiji Sect's unrecognized technique, the "Big Gun Pile". The "Big Gun Pile" is practicing the unity of man and gun, and the dead force can't end for half an hour. Only the human body's yin and yang transportation open, and the gun's yin and yang one, only to support more than half an hour. To put it bluntly, it is to be the whole body joints, bones slightly shake, and ash pole with the big gun shake, the gun and people shake into one, muscle tension and relaxation, take turns to rest, to end how long it can be. The end of the "big gun pile", the gun has been slightly trembling, the head of the gun loaded with iron bullets ringing finely. If you are well practiced, the head of the gun can dance without seeing your hand move. "Shaking the big pole is used to practice listening to the strength", this sentence is not easy to find in a thousand pieces of gold. All the brothers know the Yin and Yang theory of internal boxing and weapons, do not pass it on indiscriminately, and never pass it on to foreigners, or you will be condemned by heaven.

The big gun practiced hearing, the two horses meet, weapons a touch, the big gun is like a snake, along with the other side of the weapon to drill in, the general killed the enemy never only this move. Pewter pole of the gun is a living artifact, the gun has its own yin and yang reasoning, curved to be straight, straight and curved, tied to the left to the right, split the front will go to block the back. The more powerful the opponent is, the better he will fight. If he bends my pole, I'll be happy, just a turn of the gun handle, no need to use force, the head of the gun popped out, and then stabbed him again. It's good to be surrounded by a group of people, and your gun won't miss. Man and gun unity, the gun wants to go where I will send him to where, my eyes to where, the gun will self will be rooted where. As long as people constantly give the gun with energy and divine will, the gun will help you to hit the four points.

As long as there is energy in the ash pole, there is no breakage. Relying on the elasticity of the ash pole gun head rotation is very rapid, the enemy has no opportunity to take advantage of. It is one against two is not afraid, waist a force, the gun head swing a hundred and eighty degrees, can simultaneously swing away from the left and right sides of the weapon. The gun head swing round, is the rain of arrows are blocked. But the gun is not shaking, can be found in the empty door, the big gun if not relying on the elasticity of the ash pole, the head of the gun and slow and no lethality, the ash pole directly force stabbing threat is very small, it is difficult to penetrate the iron armor, the most critical to do so is very slow. The internal expert met the internal expert, listen to the strength of the good one can drain the momentum on the other side of the gun, the gun does not play is the most terrible, more terrible than being surrounded by people. At this point, the enemy has already grabbed in front of the body, and then force to spin the gun up there is no time.

Taiji gun law has a "defeat style bright palm", practicing is a big gun how to "escape from death". "Defeat style bright palm" is very simple, is to pull back a frame, a hand raised, as the Cultural Revolution in the dance of the Chinese character commonly used modeling, do not see any high points, but this move is actually a big gun in the defeat of the winning method, "dragging the knife plan", "Horseback Gun" and "Hand Mace" are far less dangerous than this move. Nowadays, there are not many people who know the real usage of "Defeat Style Bright Palm", and there are even fewer who can practice it. In fact, "Defeat Style Palm" is the last resort of abandoning the gun to win, and no one in the world can escape from this final blow of fish death and net breaking. The "Defeat Style Palm Show" has one hand raised high, with the intention of abandoning the gun and taking the single sword on the back, so that the sword and the gun can strike together. It's like the double kill in chess, the enemy can't escape. As for how to knife and gun attack, boy I can not say more, the watchers please forgive me. Taiji gun practice to the "defeat style bright palm" of the knife and gun combining even if the success is complete, you can go down the mountain to help the master, take the fame, to solve the world of the downfall of the people.

Gunplay is the only Chinese skill in the world, and swordplay is a variant of gunplay. The internal sword is purely a gun, never a sword, sword Wudang sword secrets have a sentence "if the sword as a sword, laugh at the death of Sanfeng old sword immortal". Internal swordplay, sword fighting is absolutely not hear the clanking sound of weapons touching, a sword is at most a light ride on the other side of the weapon row, and the subtlety of the sword lies in the enemy and move, a successful strike. Internal sword in the sword action is not much, practiced is the body, especially the waist and legs. Kung Fu into want to go down the mountain, Shaolin disciples are to fight through the eighteen bronze man array, while Wudang disciples are to use a small bamboo pole to jump to the tree to stab down a monkey. Shaolin disciples all over the world, Wudang is not a number of people, not to mention stabbing down a monkey, that is, two feet on the tree this trick practiced not a few. Wudang as long as each generation can come out of a practiced sword to stay in the mountain to teach, not so withered. Internal sword art on the sword itself is not demanding, a bamboo can, nothing when, index finger pinch a sword decision is also a sword. Swords, guns, swords and sticks, the sword art is the supreme, and the sword art is only the application of the internal family of superb stance only.

Gunplay and swordplay are only found in China, not in Japan or the West. Japanese sword thieves are swordsmanship, and stupid swordsmanship that gets you killed. Western big sword is also a knife, very primitive, simple sword method, not pay attention to changes, fight to lose, the harder the more bad luck. But the western fencing is a good game, especially the foil, but also only used to the sword's stab a function, slightly monotonous. Chinese martial arts to the world, the Olympic Games that a few fencing gold medals must be all inclusive. If the fencing field is round, I dare to say that I have the certainty of victory, even according to the current rules, with a good sound strength can still win, he also asked you to see me in the Olympic Games for the word Taiji name.

The Western sword is shaped like an enlarged Chinese sword with a very long handle, and is used as a sword, which is held in both hands and swung wildly. Westerners have a one-track mind, only want to swing the sword strongly, and never want to think about what to do if the sword misses. In order to increase the strength, the western big sword has a weight behind the handle, a very heavy piece of iron, carved into a variety of decorations. The purpose of the weights is to increase the chopping punch without increasing the size of the sword (Western swords are already too fat), and this arrangement is just plain stupid: it's harder for a big sword to get back in your hand, and the added torque hurts the pinky, so the sword might come out of your hand. I have a nine-foot FLYFISHING ROD rod that also has a counterweight on the end of the rod. The manufacturer's intent was to facilitate CASTING, but I long ago removed the counterweight and threw it away. With the counterweight, the force is messed up, you can't hear the force of the line at the end of the rod at all, and the line doesn't get thrown very far. I listen to the power of the fishing line to throw, waist force to the top of the rod gently lift a pop, only a back and forth, the whole 90 feet of FLYFISHING fishing line can be all out. FLY CASTING the best posture is "white crane cool wings".
