Knowledge about Japanese samurai

The embryonic form of Japanese ninja is a spy similar to the intelligence department in China, who specializes in stealing intelligence and has the function of assassination. They are all dressed in black. The usual image of ninja in people's minds is: dressed in black, able to fly over the city wall, jump over the city, give orders, change stars, and use all kinds of grotesque hidden weapons. Ninja level Ninja is divided into upper endurance, middle endurance and lower endurance. "forbearance", also known as "think tank forbearance", specializes in planning the overall operation steps. "Endurance" is a commander in actual combat, and of course, endurance should be superior. "Lower forbearance", also known as "physical forbearance", is equivalent to the current special forces and is the actual ninja fighting in the forefront. There is an obvious hierarchical relationship among them, that is, "lower forbearance" obeys "middle forbearance" and "middle forbearance" obeys "upper forbearance". Ninja equipped ninjas usually sneak into enemy towers and mansions on new moons or cloudy nights. If they wear black, the outline will be more prominent. So the basic clothing color is dark blue. At night, when the moon and stars are scarce, they will change into gray or brown clothes. As for underwear, of course, it is the traditional Japanese crotch cloth (a slender white cloth). But the ninja's beam method is different from that of ordinary people, and its length is longer. They wrapped the crotch cloth from the neck to the crotch and finally to the waist. In this way, the crotch cloth can be pulled out from the back of the neck at any time as a bandage or rope for first aid. There are many pockets inside the coat, where you can put some gunpowder, sewing needles, and first-aid drugs (including sleeping pills and poison) that won't get wet. There are some daily necessities in the belt. Gloves and leggings usually hide some hidden weapons. Weapons Modern people's understanding of ninja weapons comes from various cheats: shuriken (or Shuriken), Makibisi, Shinobikatana, Hukiya, Sikomidie and Armour. "shuriken" is similar to the darts in the Wulin of China. It can hit a hundred shots within ten yards. Generally, there are octagonal shuriken, hexagonal shuriken, cruciform shuriken, triangular shuriken and zigzag shuriken. After being thrown, these shuriken will rotate around its geometric center in the air, so the trajectory is stable and a certain accuracy can be guaranteed at close range. Polygonal shuriken mainly relies on sharp horns to kill the enemy, and its lethality is limited, so ninjas will paint every corner with poisonous poison, which is a very dangerous weapon. Shuriken weighs between 40 grams and 60 grams, and most ninjas don't carry dozens. After all, being as light as a swallow is their advantage. "Sprinkle Ling", also known as the cross nail, is a diamond-shaped weapon scattered behind you when you escape. Anything that is uneven and can sting your feet, such as natural stones, dried fruits, iron, etc. , you can use instead. A dull "forbearing knife" attached to a rope about three meters long. When crossing the city wall, it can be used as a stepping tool and then recycled by ropes. When in danger, the scabbard can be used as a snorkel in potential water. Blowing an arrow is a poisonous needle, usually hidden in a flute; Sometimes you need to dress up as an artist during the journey, so ninjas must learn to blow arrows and practice flute skills. The "long stick" is a weapon to defeat the strong with the weak. Firstly, the bamboo is oiled and covered with copper at both ends to attack the opponent's acupuncture points, reducing the opponent's attack ability and fighting will. Some weapons, such as chains and spears, can also be hidden in the middle. There are various kinds of "nail hooks", some of which are mounted on nails and some on the back of hands, depending on what kind of kung fu the parties are good at and what tricks they will do. "Water Spider", a prop used when crossing a river, can usually be folded and hidden in a bag. "Bow and arrow", the bow used by ninjas is divided into two types: big bow and small bow. The big bow is used for long-range shooting and the small bow is used for close-range shooting. In addition to archery, you can also launch rockets, whistling arrows and flowering arrows (which can burst) to harass the enemy. Modern ninjas have pistols, and their bows and arrows are cumbersome and inconvenient. Only one crossbow is still in use today. A steel needle is hidden in the blowpipe of the crossbow. Blow hard and the steel needle will be launched, but the launching distance is only two or three meters. In order to attack the enemy more effectively, arrows are often fed with poison, and female ninjas are experts in using bows and arrows. "Bitter", this complaining tool is 18cm long, and there are two explanations: First, it is a wall climbing tool, because sometimes ninjas need to stick on the wall to perform tasks, and the rope hook is a bit inconvenient. With a few bitter tools, you can insert it into the wall and pull it with your feet. The rope can be looped at the end for easy retrieval. The second is a hidden weapon used by Japanese ninjas. There are five basic usages: horizontal chopping, vertical chopping, oblique chopping, straight stabbing and flying shooting, with reference to shuriken and hidden weapons. "Smelling gold", smelling gold, is actually an ancient bug. Insert one end into the wall, because gold is soft and can be closely combined with substances in cracks such as gravel. Then put your ear on smelling gold, and you can hear people in the room. What is the steel wire for? Then it is necessary for the master to use it. The owner connects this piece of gold with another piece inserted in a quiet place with a steel wire, so he can put his ear on the distant piece of gold and hear the sound in the room! It is said that the bottom quarter should be made of pure gold, and the steel wire at the back should be connected with another piece of gold when necessary, but when it is used, the steel wire must be stretched tightly ... "flat cone". In the past, most houses in Japan were made of wood. This thing is a wooden scraper. Scrape wood with that u-shaped blade. As for the function, it is used to peep through the hole in the wooden wall. "Ask outside", length 18 cm, head bent 4 cm, hold it in your hand and dial the door, window and other things in the dark. In order to facilitate a bend in front, the fire spreading rods we use are rarely straight. This bend is the same as the one in front of the bar. Supplement: Ninjutsu, a ninja's path of cultivation, was popular in Japan during the Warring States Period because of its strong practicality. Ninjutsu is a set of spy information technology system mastered by ancient Japanese ninjas, including tracking, reconnaissance, espionage, bodyguards, assassination and so on. Ninja skills superman, good at using weapons such as swords and hooks and hidden weapons such as darts; They can fly over the eaves, walk on the walls and fly around in the sand without making a sound; Hold your breath in the water for five minutes at most. If you use special equipment, you can stay underwater for a day and a night. They are good at fighting on the surface and underwater, and can even dive to the bottom of the ship and eavesdrop on the conversations of the people on board ... These superhuman skills can only be learned through inhuman training. The training requirements of Ninjutsu must start from an early age. All members of the Ninjutsu family, regardless of gender, age and age, must unconditionally inherit this family professional tradition (Ninjutsu training). As far as the training content of Ninjutsu is concerned, its basic training mainly includes five aspects: balance, sensitivity, strength, persistence and special skills. Balance training: first, step on the bamboo pole until you can stand on the round bamboo pole without slipping; Lift the bamboo pole about three feet from the ground, continue to walk the bamboo pole and practice the movements freely; Continue to increase the height of bamboo poles until the height reaches 30 to 40 feet. At this time, the body is not afraid of heights, rolling and jumping, just like walking on the ground. With this balance, you can walk on roofs, walls and trees like a fly. Sensitive training: start training at an early age, and do more special training with sensitive qualities, such as jumping over a rope full of leaves, doing dangerous obstacle running in the later stage of training, being covered by many dangerous obstacles when running, and being slightly ineffective or unresponsive in posture, that is, being injured by obstacles. So the sensitivity of Ninjutsu is very strict. Endurance training: Endurance training in Ninjutsu can be divided into static and dynamic training methods. Static training method: Hang your hands on a tree to support your whole body, and the ground is covered with hidden weapons. Practitioners are required to never let go and jump, and only with basic long-distance running skills can they have the endurance to run 50 or 60 miles. An excellent ninja master, plus jumping, can run 150 miles a day. Strength training: The strength training of Ninjutsu strives to maximize the strength of the human body. There are many training methods, which are not listed here. Special skill training: There are many kinds of special skill training of Ninjutsu Wushu, such as holding your breath in diving, unarmed combat, kendo, hidden weapons, cosmetic surgery, drug surgery, detoxification, hearing and smell training, etc ... And you must have high field survival ability. Supplement: Ninja has achieved a superhuman leap from spirit to body through these inhuman practices with extremely high mortality. Gained extraordinary perseverance, endurance and combat effectiveness. Ninjas who survived through Ninjutsu training are absolutely reliable all-power fighting machines. Ninjutsu Wushu requires ninjas to have first-class skills such as fencing, archery, equestrian, jujitsu, footwork, body balance and poison dart. But the most demanding martial arts is the famous stealth flying escape. Invisibility, in fact, there is no real invisibility, but it is trained to be extremely sensitive in hands and feet and extremely capable of jumping and running. When people didn't find him, the ninja was dead. In China's martial arts, it's called climbing over the eaves. In fact, it is practiced through long-term jumping, grasping, crawling and hitting. Because of the mysterious movements and hidden whereabouts of the master of Ninjutsu, people also call Ninjutsu "ghost" and "invisibility". Besides flying invisibility, hidden weapons is also a stunt of Ninjutsu martial arts. Most of the hidden weapons of Ninjutsu consist of poison darts and copper coins, but there are also swords and chisels. Ninjutsu is widely used in hidden weapons, and throwing copper coins to relieve the poison is a unique skill of every master of Ninjutsu. And "Flying" and "hidden weapons" are also called "Three Endurances" and "Detoxification". Ninjutsu masters are good at this. According to records, the poison used in Ninjutsu is extracted from minerals, animals and plants, which is strong enough to cause death; Only a small amount of drugs is enough to make people sleepy, paralyzed or temporarily insane. There are many kinds of poison methods of Ninjutsu. The tips of daggers, darts and arrows are all poisoned and used for assassination. Mixing poison with food or drink for murder; Use all kinds of toxic substances, such as poisonous flowers. A universal antidote for detoxification of Ninjutsu, which is made of herbs and medicinal liquor. Ninjutsu, regarded as "the art of killing people", has long been targeted at ninja organizations, spying on information and assassinating political enemies. During the Japanese Tokugawa shogunate and the Tang Dynasty in China, espionage and counter-espionage activities prevailed, which was also a great struggle of various ninja organizations. In the development of society, the terrorist activities of Ninjutsu and Ninja were condemned by the world and finally banned, and the activities of Ninjutsu completely went underground. Little is known about this. In recent years, the rendering of film and television works has made the world realize Japan once again, an ancient and cruel martial arts flower.
