The baptism of thousands of years of history and culture has created the rural style of Yongtai people who worship Chongwen and Chongwu. Yongtai produced three literary champions and three martial champions in the Southern Song Dynasty. This tenacious nation fought bravely against the invading Japanese pirates, bullies and bandits and suppressed their officers and men. Men, women and children are used to practicing martial arts, which can not only protect the country and defend the country, but also defend themselves and strengthen their health. Yongtai Wushu culture is extensive and profound, and it has become the hometown of Nanquan and the birthplace of 15 kinds of boxing. This rural style of martial arts has continued to this day and was awarded the title of "hometown of martial arts" by the state.
South Shaolin, the hometown of South Shaolin, is not the name of a temple, but the respectful name of Nanquan, the southern martial arts school in China. The origin of Kaonan Boxing can be traced back to the Southern Song Dynasty. Zhang Ciguan was born in Pingjia (Pangu Township), Yongtai County, and his family was poor. Since childhood, I have been herding cattle in Fanghu Mountain, and I became attached to Taoism. I studied martial arts in Fanghu Mountain, and then I studied martial arts in the "famous mountain room" in Gaogai Mountain (pictured), and I pioneered Nanquan (such as Niu Fa and Monkey Fa). Because it is quite different from Beiquan, it is called Nanquan by the national martial arts community. Later, because Nanquan was different from the northern boxing of Shaolin Temple in Dengfeng, Henan Province, it was also called "South Shaolin".
1 176, Zhang ciguan, Xiao and Lian Zongqiang went to Lushan Mountain (now Longhu Mountain) in Jiangxi Province to learn Taoism. The last three people traveled in Fujian, Jiangxi and Zhejiang, and became famous. Zhang Ciguan called himself the Great Sage, and the people called him Zhang Shengjun. He is also called "Monkey King" because he created Monkey Boxing. In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the image of Sun Walker in Wu Cheng'en The Journey to the West was the touching story that the author included in the book.
After the death of Zhang Shengjun (1 183), Youxi donated money to build Zhang Shengjun's mother temple under Fanghu Rock, which was called "Fanghu Temple" (some people also called it "Xiaolian Temple"). Because of the homonym of "Xiaolian" and "Shaolin" in Fuzhou dialect, it was mistaken for "Shaolin" by later generations. Yongfu (Yongtai) people also built the Dasheng Temple in Gaogai Mountain, and built the Dasheng Temple in the north gate of Chengguan to worship Zhang, which has been well protected so far. After Zhang, Xiao and Lian's Nanquan was introduced to the people, Yongfu set off a martial arts craze, and talented people came forth in large numbers. In the Southern Song Dynasty, there were people from Huang San, such as Jiang Bohu (in the 11th year of Xi Chun), Chixi (in the 3rd year of Baoqing) and Baiyun (in the 5th year), who were the top martial artists, 22 were top martial artists and 35 were martial artists, making a sensation throughout the country.
In the third year of the Ming Dynasty (1438), Yan, on behalf of the Yan family, joined hands with Zhang and Dai to build a "Famous Mountain Academy" at the foot of Gaogai Mountain for villagers to learn martial arts. As shown). Later generations compared Zhang, Xiao and Lian's Southern Boxing with Northern Boxing, and later "Famous Mountain Academy", "Dasheng Temple" and "Famous Mountain Room" were called "Southern Shaolin". There are many heroes in South Shaolin. In the 40th year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty (156 1), the Japanese invaded Yongfu and plundered it, and the county magistrate Zhou Huan died. Yan Jun, who studied martial arts in Mingshan Academy since childhood, sold his fortune, gathered more than 600 warriors (about 1/4 of the population of Chen County at that time) to rise up against Japan and expel the enemy to Putian seaside. "Bo Quan" has been handed down from generation to generation because of the feeling of fighting with the wind and waves. Later, Yan Jun was killed in the siege of Yukou, and was named as a "righteous man" by Sejong, and was buried in the sea at the foot of Su Xia Mountain (pictured).
In the 14th year of Chongzhen in Ming Dynasty (164 1), Yan Tinghui, a scholar who studied martial arts in Mingshan Academy since childhood, was appointed as the county magistrate of Dengfeng, Henan. Li Zicheng rebels marched into Dengfeng, and the whole city fled. Ting Hui defends the city alone. Seeing his loyalty, Li Zicheng paid more than 100,000 taels of silver to repair Zhongyue Temple (because Zhongyue Temple is in the city). At that time, there was a serious drought in Henan. In order to save the people, the court ordered the use of this 100 thousand taels of silver to buy food relief. When Li Zicheng came back with his troops, he was furious and wanted to kill the people. Tinghui rode his horse to kill the camp and shouted, "Guarding the city is the order of this county. I took the money for disaster relief, and the responsibility is all on me. I have no gratitude to the people. If you want to kill me, kill me! " Draw your sword and kill yourself. Li Zicheng and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were greatly amazed and admired, and immediately issued an order prohibiting soldiers from harming the people and withdrawing troops immediately. Dengfeng people wept bitterly and were buried in the back hill of Chenghuang Temple. The Qing emperor gave an obituary and named it "Jie". (Strong integrity makes people feel pity. In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the villagers rebelled against the rule of Manchu. Yan, who studied martial arts in Mingshan Academy, and his three younger brothers gathered the martial monks and disciples of Mingshan Academy, and the responders joined forces with the remaining soldiers of Ming Chengzu to form the "Southern Shaolin" Coalition to fight against the Qing Dynasty and regain sight, and set up troops in Yongfu and Yurong (Fuqing) and other places.
The tiger statue spread overseas. After the failure of the righteous act, the Qing army besieged the warriors of "South Shaolin", and the martial arts "eminent monks" Zhu Tie and Anhai continued to deploy in Yongfu. The "Dragon Zun" of iron column development and the "Anhai Law" of Anhai development spread in Fuzhou and Jian 'ou. During the Qianlong period, Li, a rich man, created a tiger-respecting fist and gave it to the villager Zheng He-Li. Deng Guang is good at "Tiger Leg" kicking off the column; Zhao Bei is an expert in Tiger Claw. He put his paw into the wood and high-fived a cow. Deng Guang lived in seclusion in the mountains, spreading art, and Zhao Bei wandered in Fuzhou. "The road is bumpy, draw your sword to help each other." It is said that the cloth shop owner in Zhong Ting Street bullies customers. When Zhao Bei walked into the shop, he crushed the cloth with his hand. The boss was furious and ordered the thugs to clean up Zhao Bei. Zhao Bei punched in Zhong Ting Street, showing his power and reputation. Later, he joined the army and served as general manager Qian. Because he didn't want to suppress Hong Xiuquan's rebel army, he was dismissed and returned to his hometown. Fukou became the birthplace of "Tiger Zun Boxing". At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, Zheng and Matsuguchi Zou Laker, nicknamed Yongfu Si (1854- 1929), devoted themselves to the study of tiger worship and practiced a good martial arts. He opened a martial arts school in Sambo, Fuzhou, and taught boxing to Zhou Zi, a Japanese from Nanyu and Ryukyu. The Japanese returned to China to teach their skills, forming a strong school of karate in Shangdi, which spread to more than 20 countries and regions such as Western Europe and North America. In the 1980s and 1990s, Japanese martial arts circles went to Yongtai twice to seek their roots and ancestors. Wushu groups and people from more than ten different countries and regions, including Britain, the United States and Canada, have visited and exchanged Wushu.
