What is the kung fu?

China martial arts are so extensive and profound, let's pick a few famous ones first.

Taiji Chuan-Chenjiagou. Located in the middle of Qingfeng, 5 kilometers east of Wenxian County, Jiaozuo City, Henan Province, it was originally named Changyang Village. During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, Chen Bu, a native of Zezhou, Shanxi, moved to the village. Because there is a deep north-south ditch in the village, the population of the village is Chen, so it was renamed Chenjiagou.

The origin of Tai Ji Chuan

Chen Bushan is a martial arts expert. He once established a martial arts club in the village, which enabled Chen to practice boxing and dancing from generation to generation. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Chen Jiu-shi Chen absorbed the essence of various excellent folk boxing methods on the basis of ancestral boxing, combined with the guidance, breathing and meridians of traditional Chinese medicine, and created a new family boxing, which was named Tai Ji Chuan according to the meaning of yin-yang transformation. Chen Changxing, the 14th Chen, is a well-known disciple of Yang, a native of Yongnian, Hebei Province. Later, the biography of Chen Taiji gradually evolved into the representative school of "Yang, Wu, Wu and Sun" in China.

Xingyiquan-Originated from Taigu, Shanxi Province, Shanxi Xingyiquan is characterized by exquisite skills, loose and tight shape, eclectic appearance and changeable play. The twelve forms of form and meaning emphasize the offensive skills of exotic animals, and the five elements emphasize the connotations of gold, wood, water, fire and earth.

[Edit this paragraph] The origin of boxing

Xingyiquan is the ancestor, and its origin can be traced back to the early Qing Dynasty. According to legend, Ji Zeng studied under Shaolin Temple in Henan Province and was proficient in Liuhe marksmanship. Later, I got Yue Wumu's fist score, and based on Yue Fei's fist score, I transformed the big gun technique into a fist technique, combined with the original idea, and created this fist technique. Ji is divided into different factions such as Yu, Jin and Ji, and has different names, including Xin Liuhe Quan, Psychological Quan and Xingyi Quan. Xingyiquan, popular in modern times, was created by Li Luoneng in Shenzhou, Hebei Province, and named after Dai Xinfa.

Baguazhang-The origin of Baguazhang is verified as Dong Haichuan (about 18 13 statue of Dong Haichuan), a native of Wen 'an County, Hebei Province in the Qing Dynasty, who was inspired by Taoist practice and combined with martial arts when traveling in the south of the Yangtze River. Dong Haichuan used to be the Boxer Rebellion of Su Wangfu in Qing Dynasty, so Bagua Palm first spread in Beijing, spread all over the country in the past hundred years, and spread abroad (such as Southeast Asia).

Split-and-hang-palm split-and-hang boxing spread among the people in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and Qi Jiguang, a strategist of the Ming Dynasty (1528- 1587), made an incisive exposition on split-and-hang boxing in Ji Xiao's new book. He wrote in Ji Xiao's new book "A Brief Review of Boxing Classics": "The horizontal split fist is fast." This means that the split hook fist is fast and fast. He said, "It's great that legs can fly." This is a description of the tricks such as "copying hands and starting feet" in the split-hanging boxing, which shows the wonderful use of flexible leg techniques. Qi Jiguang absorbed the ambush potential in the split-hanging boxing in his 32-potential long fist, riding a dragon backwards, eliminating earthworms, bending elbows and other single-potential actions, which showed that the split-hanging boxing had a high position in military martial arts. During the hundred years from Qi Jiguang to Qing Dynasty, there was no detailed record about Guagua Boxing. During Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty (1796- 1820), some boxing techniques were circulated in Lunzhou area of Hebei Province. At this time, there are two schools of split-hanging boxing: Yanshan and Nanpi.

Manta Boxing-Manta Boxing was created by Wang Lang, a native of Jiaodong in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, with a history of more than 300 years. According to legend, the founder of Wang Lang observed the movement of mantis catching cicada, took its expression, endowed it with the theory of rigidity and softness of yin and yang, and used the method of advancing and retreating up and down, left and right, back and forth to perform 18 ancient methods and create mantis boxing. "Ancient Boxing Manual of Mantis Gate" (written by Liang in Daoguang period) records that "Wang Lang, a former teacher, was busy for eight cubits, but his reality was rigid and soft, which was wonderful". The ancestors' names of the eighteen fists in Mantis Boxing Manual mentioned that "Wang Lang is the general enemy of Mantis". In other words, during the Daoguang period, the known founder of Mantis Gate was Wang Lang. After Wang Lang's mantis boxing was introduced from Laiyang, Mr. Jiang Hualong, Mr. Song Zide, Mr. Cui Shoushan and Mr. Wang Yushan went to Yantai and Qingdao to teach their own mantis boxing in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. Martial arts museums that teach mantis boxing are all over Jiaodong. Due to the large number of practitioners, Yantai Mantis Gate has gradually formed three schools and four schools, namely Laiyang Taiji Mantis, Yantai Jiahao Taiji Meihua Mantis and Yantai Linjingshan Seven Stars. 65438-0983 In the work of "National Wushu Heritage Rescue, Excavation and Arrangement" carried out by the State Sports Commission, Mr. Liu, a folk boxer from Laiyang, dedicated his ancestral "Mantis Boxing Spectrum" to the country and won the "Lion Award". At the same time, Mr. Wang Yuanliang, the son of Mr. Wang Yushan, one of the world-famous "Three Mountains", was recognized as a direct descendant of mantis boxing and was taught to fight boxing in Laiyang. Under this opportunity, Laiyang's martial arts became popular for some time. Most boxers who are practicing mantis boxing in Laiyang now are apprentices of Mr. Wang Yuanliang. In addition, mantis boxing has spread all over the country and even many countries in the world. According to research, it has a deep origin with Laiyang mantis boxing.

Wing Chun Boxing-Wing Chun Master Ye Wen Wing Chun Boxing is one of the boxing styles in southern China. There are three theories about its origin: one was created by Yan Sanniang in Yongchun County, Fujian Province, the other was brought to Guangxiao Temple by Shan Zhi, a monk from Shaolin Temple, and the other was created by Fang Yongchun. The content of this boxing mainly includes three sets of boxing: small head, mark and bridge-seeking, with three hands as the basic movements. Body shape requires crotch protection, shoulder pad, shoulder drop, fuels and chest protection. The main hand types are Phoenix Eye Boxing and Willow Palm. The main techniques are dropping hands, waving hands, three hands, left and right broken hands, sinking bridges and blocking positions. The main footwork includes three-character horse, chasing horse and so on. In attack and defense, we often use flash, close-fitting, tight pressure and tight play, which is agile, fast and flexible.

He Quan He Quan He Quan is a kind of Nanquan. Formerly known as "White Crane Boxing", it was founded by Niang in Fujian (now Xiapu County) during the Kangxi period of Qing Dynasty (1662- 1723), and Fang's ancestral home was Lishui, Zhejiang. Most of them spread in Yongchun, Fuzhou, Fuqing, Changle, Putian, Lianjiang, Ningde and other places, and spread to Hong Kong, Macao and Southeast Asia through overseas Chinese. Up to now, it has evolved into four different kinds of boxing: Zonghe (that is, Su He), He Ming, Feihe and Chihe (that is, Chaohe, also known as Bihe). Since religion, vocalization, flying and food are of the same origin, they must have many similarities in techniques and training requirements.

Tea Boxing-Tea Boxing originated from Zhangyinzhuang (also known as Yilizhuang) in guanxian, Shandong Province, and was created and spread among the Hui people such as Cha Shangyi (Chamir), Hua Zongqi and Wu. According to Chapu and legends of past dynasties, Cha Shangyi, a Hui nationality from the Western Regions in the Ming Dynasty, was recruited into the mainland and went to guanxian for rest due to illness. The local people love and respect this patriotic righteous man and take great care of him. After recovering from his illness, he thanked the local people for their kindness and passed on his martial arts to a generation in guanxian. From then on, in order to commemorate him, the locals named Chamir (Cha Shangyi) "Chaquan". Hua Zongqi and Cha Shangyi are brother and sister. The shelf boxing made by Hua Zongqi is called "Sliding Boxing", which has always been called "Checking Sliding Boxing". In addition, there are records of Wu's broken leg boxing, sliding boring and sliding hook on the boxing spectrum. For example, "the theory of legs is Wu's. It has a history of more than 200 years, which was handed down by Master Pan's father-Wu is from the Western Regions.

Red Boxing-Red Boxing can be divided into red boxing, little red boxing and old red boxing, which is known as "Red Boxing is the source of Yvonne Wan". Hongquan has evolved several times in history. Hongquan is one of the oldest boxing methods in China, which belongs to the "Upper Four Doors". The last four doors are "red (boxing), plum (flower), beating (leg) and fan (trace)", but in history, red boxing was rarely banned by the government, unlike plum blossom boxing. Therefore, after the Tianrikyo Uprising and the Boxer Rebellion failed, they all deceived the government under the guise of bare fists. During the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Taiping Army called its military exercises "Hongquan"; The Boxer Movement was called "Red Boxing" in Qianlong and Jiaqing years, and gradually developed into Northern Red Boxing, Southern Red Boxing and Central Plains Shaolin Housekeeping Boxing (that is, Three Shake Boxing), which was handed down from generation to generation.

Wire Boxing-Wire Boxing belongs to the internal skill of Shaolin Waijiaquan and is specially used to train bridge players. It was the stunt of Tieqiao III, the first of the "Ten Tigers in Guangdong", and was later taught to Huang Feihong by Tieqiao III disciple Lin Fucheng. Tiexian Boxing is a set of health-preserving boxing which mainly exercises limbs and dredges blood vessels, and has the functions of strengthening the body and turning weakness into strength. There are only two kinds of contours: outer arm and inner arm. The external arm belongs to external work, that is, hand, eye, body, waist and horse. Inner arm and hand belong to internal strength, that is, heart, spirit, mind, qi and strength. It takes twelve bridge players as latitude and longitude, combines rigidity with softness, straight and straight, sets, strings, lifts, stays, transports, makes, orders, uses yin and yang, uses qi to penetrate strength, and uses the word "pliers" to protect the waist and kidneys. To practice this boxing, you need to move in silence, move in silence, put down, stay without staying, get sick without being chaotic, and stay slowly without staying.

The earliest origin of Red Boxing can be traced back to the Zhou and Qin Dynasties. During the Western Zhou Dynasty, "martial arts" and "wrestling" prevailed. During the Qin Dynasty, "Three Assistants" prevailed (now in Guanzhong area of Shaanxi Province), especially in Chang 'an area, and their skills were improved by practicing routine entertainment (see China Wushu History). According to Zhang Yichuan, a historian, "Qin people played the piano, danced the zither and hit their shoulders (finished)", it is said that at the celebration banquet after the victory of Ying Zheng, the king of Qin, warriors "hit their shoulders" (singing and dancing) to celebrate. "Boxing with the arm" embodies the boldness and boldness of the Qin people, and not only develops the "power of fighting with the arm" but also the "method of supporting and splitting", which is the essence of Red Boxing. In the Tang Dynasty, Red Boxing was called "Tang Hand" and "Jiao Di", and Li Bai, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, called himself "the fifteen good swordsmanship". Both Xue and Tang Dynasty were great names in Shaanxi. Hongquan is recognized as the mainstream school of Shaanxi local boxing. In Shaanxi, Tongguan and Dasanguan are also divided into three branches: Kanto Red Boxing, Guanzhong Red Boxing and Kansai Red Boxing. It is said that many kinds of boxing in Shaanxi evolved on the basis of "Guanzhong Red Boxing". Guanzhong Red Boxing is centered on Xiaohong Boxing, Dahongquan, Erlu Red Boxing, Taizu Red Boxing, Fenquan, Liuhui, Liuli, Cannon Hammer and Siba Hammer, and it is practiced most widely.

Tan Leg-According to legend, this boxing originated from Longtan Temple in linxi county, Hebei Province, so it is called Tan Leg; Another saying was created by a man named Tan in Henan, hence the name Tan Leg. But it seems that the recognition of the former is slightly wider. During Zheng De's reign in Ming Dynasty, Zen master Ji Xiang from Shaolin Temple in Songshan, Henan Province personally went to Longtan Temple in Linqing to meet Master Yuekong, a descendant of Kunlun Sect. Two monks exchanged Linqing's leg for Shaolin's arhat boxing as a souvenir. Later, the descendants of Shaolin Temple changed the boxing frame of Tan Leg and added two paths, so it was called Shaolin Tan Leg.

In addition, there are: foot chop, Fanzi boxing, Yuejia Sanshou boxing, Fanji boxing, Huangsanqiang hammer, Taizu Changquan, Yanqing boxing, Dacheng boxing, Heart Liuhe boxing, Shaolin boxing and so on.
