After the reform and opening up, Liang Yiquan founded one of the earliest professional Wushu schools in our city-Dengfeng Shaolin Ebo Wushu College. From 65438 to 0995, Liang Yiquan was named "Top Ten Contemporary Martial Arts Masters in China" and enjoyed special allowance from the State Council. In June 2004, 5438- 10 was awarded the honorary title of "National Advanced Individual of Veteran Cadres" by the Central Organization Department. In May 2005, he was awarded the honorary title of "Principal of the First Excellent Wushu School in China" by China Education Promotion Association and China Education and Culture Newspaper. In July 2006, he was awarded "the first batch of outstanding folk culture inheritors in Henan Province" by the Propaganda Department of Henan Provincial Party Committee and Henan Federation of Literary and Art Circles. He is currently the vice chairman of Henan Wushu Association, China Wushu Jiu Duan, the national senior coach and the representative of Shaolin Boxing School, Liang Yiquan. 1977, the Japanese Shaolin Boxing League wanted to make a pilgrimage to Shaolin Temple. This news made the main leaders of Dengfeng County Committee and Dengfeng County Revolutionary Committee very nervous. In order to do a good job in reception and martial arts exchange, the Dengfeng County Party Committee and the Dengfeng County Revolutionary Committee decided that Liang Yiquan, who is skilled in martial arts and noble in martial arts, would lead the team for martial arts training, performance and exchange.
In September of that year, the Dengfeng County Committee and the Dengfeng County Revolutionary Committee sent Wang, the propaganda minister of the county Committee, and the director of the Cultural Education Committee of the County Revolutionary Committee, to Camel Cliff to invite them out of the mountain; Subsequently, Qin, deputy secretary of the county party Committee and minister of organization, visited Camel Cliff and wanted to be seconded to the county sports commission. Liang Yiquan said that it is everyone's responsibility to contribute to the country, and he will do his best to complete the reception and performance tasks. Ten days later, the county party committee sent a formal notice to Liang Yiquan to work in the county sports commission. In order to fully support Liang Yiquan's work, in August 1978, the Dengfeng County Committee rehabilitated a group of rightists including Liang Yiquan. Liang Yiquan was restored to public office, length of service and level, and served as the principal of the amateur sports school of Dengfeng County Sports Commission.
After his recovery, Liang Yiquan let bygones be bygones and concentrated on his work. According to the arrangement of the county sports commission, he immediately undertook three important tasks. First, an excellent performance team was formed to prepare for the performance and exchange of foreign affairs reception; Second, excavate and arrange Shaolin Wushu to lay a good foundation for promoting the development of Shaolin Wushu; The third is to write a systematic and simple written material to introduce the ins and outs of Shaolin Wushu and its style and characteristics to Japanese guests.
In order to complete the task as soon as possible, Liang Yiquan first visited the masters such as Dechan, Su Xi and Administration in Shaolin Temple, and discussed and analyzed the historical origin, style characteristics and cultural connotation of Shaolin Wushu with them. Later, Liang Yiquan studied and sorted out Shaolin Wushu day and night, and wrote the first monograph of Shaolin Wushu after the founding of the People's Republic of China-An Introduction to Shaolin Wushu. This book systematically introduces the origin and development of Shaolin Wushu, the style and characteristics of Shaolin Boxing, the main routines of Shaolin Boxing, the methods and formulas of Wushu drills, and the matters that Liang Yiquan and his son should pay attention to, with illustrations, which will become the basic teaching material for the masses to learn and practice Shaolin Boxing in the future.
Then, Liang Yiquan began to form a martial arts performance team. After careful consideration and selection, a group of new and old actors such as Yang Jucai, An Zhenxi, Chen Wujing, Geng, Jiao Hongbo, Zheng Guangrong, Zheng Shumin, Wang, Liang Songhua and Liang were established as the backbone. And in March of 1978, the first Wushu exhibition competition after the "Cultural Revolution" was held in Dengfeng. In this exhibition competition, Liang Yiquan participated in the competition as an athlete for the first time in his life. He hit a set of Shaolin long fists, which was hearty and powerful, and won the first prize. This exhibition competition not only promoted the development of Wushu in Dengfeng, but also gave a good training for receiving the Japanese Shaolin Boxing Federation. On April 4th, 1979, Zong, president of the Japanese Shaolin Boxing Association, led a delegation of the Japanese Shaolin Boxing Association to pay homage to their ancestors.
During the discussion, a Japanese guest said, "Shaolin Wushu has been lost in China. The real Shaolin Wushu is in Japan. In a few years, the center of Shaolin Boxing will be in Japan. "
Liang Yiquan rightfully retorted: "Sino-Japanese cultural exchanges have a long history. Mr. Zong Chen Dao can come to Shaolin Temple to learn Shaolin Boxing and promote Shaolin Boxing in Japan, which deserves people's respect. Shaolin Wushu has a history of thousands of years in China. Dengfeng is the hometown of Shaolin Boxing. People here practice martial arts, and Shaolin martial arts is being carried forward. "
At the meeting, Liang Yiquan performed two sets of Shaolin Boxing. A set of "Shaolin Immortal Moves Tiger Handle" is capable and provocative. A set of Shaolin Mind Method is handy, dazzling and infatuated. During the drill, Liang Yiquan's Shaolin Boxing is not only bold and unconstrained, but also full of profound cultural background and connotation, fully demonstrating the elegant demeanor and beautiful charm of China Wushu. Before a set of boxing is finished, it is a surprise and applause explodes.
After the performance, Liang Yiquan made a fist-shaking ceremony. When he walked back to his seat, a samurai in the delegation greeted him and talked about life.
Tough guy "admire, admire!" Hold Liang Yiquan's right hand and exert yourself secretly. Liang Yiquan immediately realized that the bad guys didn't come, so a competition began. He decided to show the power of China Wushu with his real kung fu. Then, with a smile on his face and a slight buckle on his wrist, he suddenly surprised the Japanese samurai: dizzy, unsteady, stumbled and almost fell. At a critical juncture, Liang Yiquan held the body of the Japanese samurai with his left hand, and at the same time recovered the internal force, so that the Japanese samurai gained a firm foothold. Liang Yiquan not only taught the little Japanese samurai a lesson, but also safeguarded the dignity of China people and left enough face for his opponent. The Japanese samurai blushed, respectfully and enthusiastically shook Liang Yiquan's hand and said, "Mr. Liang's martial arts are superb and admirable."
Although the time of the competition was short, the experts present saw it clearly, especially Zong, who knew it better and understood it better. He immediately knew that this was a martial arts expert with profound skills, not only superb skills, but also noble martial arts. He immediately stood up, greeted the past, warmly shook Liang Yiquan's hand, and repeatedly praised: "Mr. Liang, your boxing is good, showing us the real Shaolin martial arts."
Liang Yiquan's successful performance not only showed his profound knowledge in both civil and military fields, but also improved the popularity of Shaolin Wushu, which opened the door for Shaolin Wushu to enjoy a good reputation throughout the country after the reform and opening up. From 65438 to 0980, according to the requirements of the State Sports Commission and Henan Sports Commission on the excavation and arrangement of Wushu and the division of tasks of Dengfeng County Sports Commission, Liang Yiquan began to further excavate and arrange Shaolin Wushu.
In order to do a good job of digging and sorting out and speed up the work, Liang Yiquan gave training classes to students in the morning and afternoon, visited some famous old boxers in the morning and sorted out martial arts materials in the evening. Some old boxers kept scores, so he borrowed them and copied them carefully. If someone doesn't want to borrow it, he will find a stool to sit at his house and copy it. Some people don't have boxing scores, so Liang Yiquan asked them to dictate and record them themselves. Some have both boxing scores and methods, but they don't want to give up or speak out, so Liang Yiquan patiently does ideological work to let these old boxers put down their ideological burdens, relieve their worries and cooperate with their work. In Nanzhaigou of Shaolin Temple, Liang Yiquan visited the old boxer Wang. Wang Laobo frankly recited many formulas of Shaolin Wushu routines to Liang Yiquan, and practiced seven-star boxing and minds for him without reservation. Liang Yiquan heard that there was an old boxer in Zhitian, Gongyi. Despite the hot weather, he made a long journey to visit and humbly asked for advice. The old boxer gave the Yang family the gun spectrum and mantis boxing spectrum handed down from generation to generation. At the ticket gate in Dengfeng, Liang Yiquan visited the old boxer Zhao Jiang. After learning of his purpose, the old boxer took the initiative to take out the Kanto boxing spectrum and Yang's gun spectrum kept at home, telling Kanto that his boxing was magnificent, heroic and powerful, and the two became friends who talked about everything. In Mogou, Liang Yiquan also collected the music scores of old Hong Quan and Xiao Hongquan from Fan Jinxiang and Fan Haiyun.
During the period from 1985 to 1987, Dengfeng * * donated 12 martial arts materials, of which 1 1 was written by Liang Jia and 1 1. Such as Shaolin Wushu, Shaolin Wushu Research and Songshan Shaolin Boxing, etc., while engaged in editing work, he also published 29 papers in newspapers and periodicals at home and abroad, and was awarded as an advanced worker by Henan Provincial Sports Commission. 1980165438+1October 20th-65438+February 10 At the invitation of the Japanese Shaolin Boxing Federation, Liang Yiquan visited Japan with the China sports delegation. This is the first time that Shaolin Wushu has visited Japan since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Japan, and it is also the first time that Shaolin Wushu representatives have gone abroad since the founding of New China.
When preparing to go abroad, Liang Yiquan set a clear goal for himself, that is, to accomplish the performance task well, to show the profound and long-standing cultural connotation of Shaolin Wushu and China Wushu, to show the unique charm of Shaolin Wushu and China Wushu in keeping fit and cultivating sentiment, and to show the excellent traditional moral character and brand-new mental outlook of the Chinese nation. To let the Japanese know what authentic Shaolin Wushu is, Shaolin Wushu has a foundation in China.
In one month in Japan, except Hokkaido, the China sports delegation visited almost every prefecture in Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Hakone-CHO, Kobe, Izu, Shikoku and Kagawa, where the headquarters of the Japanese Shaolin Boxing Association is located.
In every city, Liang Yiquan will participate in discussions and performances, introducing the profound connotation of Shaolin Wushu and China Wushu to Japanese Wushu, sports and people from all walks of life, introducing the style and characteristics of Shaolin Wushu, and performing various routines and instruments of Shaolin Boxing.
Liang Yiquan has won praise from all walks of life in Japan for his profound knowledge, exquisite skills, polite and supercilious manner. Japanese TV stations and news media praised him as a master of Shaolin Wushu in China. Especially in Kagawa, the headquarters of Shaolin Boxing League in Japan, at the demonstration meeting of nearly 10,000 people organized by Zongzong, people present were deeply impressed by their exquisite skills. They have to admit that Liang Yiquan showed the authentic Shaolin Boxing, which is based in China.
During his visit to Japan, Liang Yiquan made a serious investigation on the scale, facilities, organizational forms, management methods and training methods of Shaolin Boxing League. Liang Yiquan is thinking that Dengfeng is the hometown of Shaolin Wushu and China is the birthplace of Wushu. It is a vast country, but there is no professional martial arts school. How can we cultivate outstanding talents? The idea of opening a professional martial arts school began to sprout in Liang Yiquan's mind. After Liang Yiquan returned from his visit to Japan, after careful consideration and argumentation, the idea of establishing a martial arts school became clearer and clearer. According to China's national conditions and the characteristics of Dengfeng, he made up his mind to run a school with both civil and military skills. He clearly pointed out that the purpose of running a school is to promote the all-round development of students' morality, intelligence and physique with martial arts as the main body and cultivate outstanding reserve talents for the country. The principle of running a school is self-reliance.
Liang Yiquan wrote down his ideas, schemes, plans, measures and goals in detailed written materials and submitted them to relevant leaders, which received strong support from Henan Provincial Sports Commission, Dengfeng County Party Committee, county government and county sports commission. 1981July 15, with the approval of the Henan provincial sports commission, the first professional martial arts school in China founded by Liang Yiquan was formally established, with Liang Yiquan as the principal and head coach.
Without a school building and limited funds, Liang Yiquan ran around looking for the most suitable place, and finally rented a six-hole cave abandoned by the Songyang Academy Production Brigade. Without a school gate, Liang Yiquan led the students to find some bamboo poles and branches to tie a door; Without a bed, he led the students up the mountain to mow the grass and lay the floor; Without a training ground, he led the students to dig the ground one by one. When the school was opened, there were only 27 students, coaches, culture teachers and administrators, among whom 6 were professional athletes, undertaking various competition tasks. In order to reduce expenses, Liang Yiquan is both a principal, a coach and a grocer.
Although the school was very simple, Liang Yiquan was very serious about teaching and training, which soon formalized the school. The Wushu School founded by Liang Yiquan has shown great vitality since its establishment, and won the first place in the total score of Wushu competition groups in the province for three consecutive years. Li Menghua, director of the State Sports Commission, and Xu Cai, deputy director of the State Sports Commission, inspected the school and praised it as the first professional Wushu school in China, which opened up a new road for the cultivation of Wushu reserve talents in China.
1982, the Central Recording Film Studio came to Dengfeng and filmed the documentary "Flowers of Wushu" featuring Liang Yiquan. The following year, CCTV filmed a TV promo "Shaolin Wushu" featuring him. In the following years, provincial and municipal TV stations also filmed "The Cradle of Shaolin Kungfu" by using the Wushu Sports School founded by Liang Yiquan, and Japanese TV stations filmed "A Day in Sports School". He and the students also participated in the filming of 1 1 film and television dramas, such as Kapok Robe, Shaolin Laijia Disciple, Yang Jiajiang, Shaolin Hayden Master, Shaolin Female Monk and so on.
The school is famous, and its reputation has spread all over the country with the upsurge of reform and opening up. Students from all over the country are pouring in, and there are not enough school buildings, so we have to rent people's houses or even change places. Until September, 1984, Finance moved into the Shaolin Wushu Training Center of the County Sports Commission. With the development of the cause, the classroom and housing conditions of the school have also been improved, all kinds of training equipment have been constantly updated, and students' comprehensive quality and sports skills have also been continuously improved, and they have won the first place in the Wushu competition group in Henan Province for four consecutive years. With the coordination of the leaders of the County Sports Commission, the County Shaolin Wushu Sports School was merged into the Wushu Training Center on 1986, and was managed by Liang Yiquan. The Wushu Training Center was officially renamed as the Shaolin Wushu Sports School of Dengfeng County Sports Commission. During the period of 1987, Liang Yiquan cooperated with Beijing Institute of Physical Education to build Shaolin Wushu College, which became the internship base for graduates of Beijing Institute of Physical Education. By 1988, there were more than 1400 students in school.
