Why does "The Enemy's Trail" bring a breakthrough in martial arts culture?

The story of The Enemy's Trail is not complicated: Qi Jiguang and other famous anti-Japanese soldiers died, and their array was preserved by the army, which is still exerting great power today. But his original straight long Dao was not accepted by the army because of its strange shape. His former two soldiers wanted this kind of knife and related knife techniques to be circulated among the people as martial arts sects, so that the people also had the ability to resist the enemy. However, to create a new martial arts school, we must break through the four martial arts schools (equivalent to the permanent members of the Chinese Wushu Association). However, these four doors still think that this straight long knife has a strange shape and rejected the expert's competition requirements. Therefore, they must show them their skills in using sabers and ideas in various ways. ...

Here, I think it is necessary to explain why Japanese knives without any radian are not accepted by mainstream Wulin people, which is actually related to the traditional culture of China. China's traditional culture holds that music is sentient. Our yin-yang fish is surrounded by a curved circle. The curve of yin and yang in the middle is of course curved. In Feng Shui, people don't like a straight road leading straight to their home, so they should build a shadow wall to stop it. That is to say, our traditional culture in China prefers curved and radian things to straight things. Therefore, it is reasonable that the "broken Japanese knife" which is basically a straight line is not liked by mainstream Wulin people.

However, it is humorous that one of the four doors in the film was questioned by several western singers: why not flank from behind? His answer turned out to be: we are decent and pay attention to attacking from the front. They don't accept linear "Japanese knives", but stubbornly insist on linear and rigid attack methods. This is a satire on the so-called nobility and decency! There are many jokes in the film that can be regarded as black humor: Qiu Dongyue, known as the best player in the world, dyed his beard black with ink in order to give people a feeling of youth. A few singers from the western regions like to watch the contest, but they are as crazy as modern people like to watch the super girl draft! ..... Well, it's time to talk about the real technical problem: the broken Japanese knife in the film is one palm longer than the ordinary Japanese knife, and only the long part has a blade. In this case, the length of this knife has increased, and it can be used as a stick, knife and spear. However, although the long weapon is powerful, its defects are also obvious: it can't be used in a narrow space, and it will even become a burden for users, but it will be hurt. The Japanese sword has only a blade within the width of the palm at the top, which means that the user can hold the middle and front end of this weapon to fight, so that this weapon can be used as an ordinary sword or even a dagger, completely getting rid of the narrow fighting place! Isn't it a technical problem that Qi Jiguang has designed such exquisite weapons and their changeable uses? And anyone can use it, and it's easy to popularize!

Therefore, from this technical point of view, the film tells the story of how several chivalrous men solve the problem of "how to serve the country and the people" from a technical point of view, so that the phrase "chivalrous men serve the country and the people" exists not only as inspirational quotes and noble feelings. This is undoubtedly a useful attempt of China's martial arts movies, which may really bring new breakthroughs to the martial arts movies that have already gone to heaven! It deserves the attention of all martial arts film lovers, cold weapon fans, film critics and martial arts film directors!
