Brief introduction of shenhu art

Shenhu is one of the schools of martial arts of Han nationality, belonging to unique martial arts, Daoism of Dadan Road in Jiang Ziya, ancient China, which has emphasized the cultivation of three-headed kungfu since ancient times. The following is what I have arranged for you:

Shenhushu

Shenhu is one of the schools of martial arts of Han nationality, belonging to unique martial arts, Daoism of Dadan Road in Jiang Ziya, ancient China, which has emphasized the cultivation of three-headed kungfu since ancient times. Its main purpose is to dominate the world, fight wars and cultivate strength. There is a saying that "three-headed kungfu is like a tiger", that is, big-headed kungfu is brave and good at fighting, fist and fist kungfu is brave and good at fighting, and small-headed kungfu is brave and good at fighting, and three-headed kungfu can reach the realm of cultivation. She constantly pursues the goal of god, tiger and king, which was also called the goal of the three-headed king in ancient times. Three-headed kung fu hidden magic machine, tiger, tiger, tiger, tiger, tiger, tiger, tiger, tiger, tiger, tiger, tiger, tiger, tiger.

Shenhu, known as the first martial art in the world since ancient times, is a classic martial art of Han nationality in China. It is one-on-one combat, empty-handed, and one-on-one combat in different environmental situations, such as daily combat, mountain combat, forest combat, street combat, room battle, bridgehead battle, riverside battle, roof battle and cliff battle.

From the style and content type, it can be divided into Wang Ba martial arts, recluse martial arts and beauty martial arts; From the technical level, it can be divided into life-and-death fighting and capture fighting skills, life-and-death fighting and weapon fighting skills, and nourishing the body and mind.

The influence of magic tiger technique

China's classical magic fox art is unique and far-reaching at home and abroad, and is highly respected and loved by many people at home and abroad. Some people with lofty ideals praised Shenhu art as Zhouyi in Wulin, an orphan in oriental culture, martial arts and life-saving, and the world's first fighting brand.

The Magic Tiger is the cultural heritage of China during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It has been in the same strain, storing a fairly complete system content, and also embodying the rich and three-dimensional cultural connotation of China. Although this system is inextricably linked with other cultural systems, it guides and embodies the integrity of its cultural core with unique philosophical thoughts, which is thoughtful and inclusive that other cultures do not have.

In China's philosophy, examples of vigorous spirit of self-improvement abound. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, China's traditional culture had a vigorous spirit of self-improvement. In order to resist the attack of wild animals, early humans constantly improved their lifestyles and improved their means of survival. This spirit was so common at that time that even thinkers and philosophers at that time became role models. Confucius, for example, is a thinker who strongly advocates doing something and practicing it. He traveled all his life, fantasizing about helping Zhou Li in troubled times, "knowing that he can't do it", and the result was "forgetting suffering and worrying, and not knowing that old age is coming". I cast extreme contempt on this attitude of "having nothing to do after eating". It is believed that a gentleman should be "not satisfied with food, not seeking security in living, sensitive in things, cautious in words, honest and clean". As a theory, it is the Book of Changes that makes a clear statement about vigorous and self-improvement. "The Legend of Incense" said: "The sky is strong, and the gentleman strives for self-improvement", and the law of endless and continuous progress is implemented by celestial bodies, requiring people to make positive progress. Since then, the spirit of self-improvement has always been the dominant spirit of China traditional culture that inspires the Chinese nation.

The embodiment of Shenhu's skill is mainly the embodiment of his brave spirit and samurai martial arts. Ideologically, Shenhu requires martial arts practitioners to practice their internal skills hard and improve their ethics. That is to say, the martial arts people of Shenhu are required to sharpen their martial arts, revitalize the national martial arts movement and create a great cause of martial arts. It well embodies the ideology under the influence of social culture at that time. Embodied in the vigorous wind of creating the country and revitalizing the military industry with the spirit of Wang Ba. Shenhu's vigorous style is also reflected in martial arts. He is not afraid of * * *, works hard and pursues his ideals to the death. It is also reflected in facing opportunities, strengthening one's ideals and striving to achieve one's goals and directions. When Shenhu was founded, it embodied the idea of making contributions, creating great achievements and ruling the world. It embodies the intention and thought of the rulers who secretly created this kind of kung fu at that time, combined with the ideological influence at that time. On martial arts, the requirements for martial artists are: "single, hard-working, hard-working without regrets, just entering the WTO." That is to say, practitioners are required to dare to confront all kinds of situations alone, fight bravely and not be moved by all kinds of false words. The lamp is upright. This resolute style of work is also revealed in the thought of saving the world by the gods and tigers: defending the country, winning glory for the country, striving for perfection, striving for strength and striving for perfection. That is to say, people who practice martial arts should start from the world, be brave in difficulties, work hard and win glory for their country.

Lu Xun once said: Taoism is the foundation of China culture. Medicine, divination, fate, physiognomy, mountains and rivers and things like that can be traced back to Taoism and Taoism. Chinese Wushu is no exception. It is generally considered as a martial art based on Taoism and Buddhism. This is really a different book, which is exactly what the Tao Te Ching means: "One, two, three things happen when the Tao gives birth".

I remember that in the third and fourth issues of Wudang magazine in 2003, a series of articles such as Zhang Zuyi and Taiji Biography were interviewed and written by Mr. Dajiang Tan, the deputy editor of the magazine. This article has aroused great repercussions among readers and martial arts friends. The article thinks that Yang Luchan, the founder of Tai Ji Chuan, has a lot of Tai Chi skills, which are not purely from Chen Taiji, but can be traced back to Wudang. Some people may think that this article is unconventional and grandstanding, but what we hear most is the comment that "this may restore the true colors of history".

Coincidentally, I also wrote an article "Revealing Jiang Ziya's Taoist Thought" with a realistic attitude before, which was published in 1999 "Shaolin and Taiji" No.8. The article holds that the Taoist thought of Laozi, the founder of Taoism, which has always been respected by everyone, is not rootless, but suddenly happens and always bears the legacy of the past history. As a master of Zhou Dynasty, Jiang Ziya's Taoist thought is more ancient and unique than Laozi's. As a History of Zhou Shoucang, Lao Zi's Taoist thought and Jiang Ziya's Taoist thought are still related and different. After the publication of the article, Mr. Li Zijian wrote "Questioning the Magic Tiger Skill" on his website and the textbooks he sold, and thought that the magic tiger skill mentioned in the article was Mr. Wei Jianyi's "New Ancient Boxing". He also suspected that Mr. Wei Jianyi fabricated the history of boxing, because I suggested in my article that the founder of Magic Tiger absorbed many Taoist thoughts of Jiang Ziya, and Jiang Ziya was the third of its seven sources. However, some readers, including Wu You, editor-in-chief of the magazine, still affirmed my exploration work in this field, which can be known from the editor's notes after the article, letters and calls from Zhang Xiaohao, president of Luoyang University Wushu Association, Chen Zhe, president of Suzhou University Wushu Association, and Yang Yi, a master student majoring in pre-Qin cultural studies at Sichuan University. Later, Mr. Yu Chunyou, a scholar with profound attainments in traditional culture, visited Mr. Wei Jianyi's home many times to discuss the relationship between Shenhu and Jiang Ziya Taoism, Jiang Ziya Taoism and Laozi Taoism, and Mr. Wei Jianyi and Qilu culture. He not only encouraged me to try my best to return history to its true colors, but also sent his beloved son Yu Hao from the northeast to his husband's home to study with Mr. Wei all the year round.

Five or six years passed quickly. In order to inherit and develop the magic tiger technique, we don't know how many books we have read, how many roads we have taken and how much efforts we have made. The long-term research and exploration have finally achieved certain results. Below, we will tell you in the article, hoping to further consult Gaoming.

The background of the fox art

1. Shenhu is a comprehensive embodiment of ancient politics, economy and culture. It may really be a unique martial art developed on the basis of some theories, including Jiang Ziya's Taoist thought, because this kind of martial art embodies Jiang Ziya's idea and thought of "staying big and controlling all changes" everywhere. Although it has been difficult for Mr. Wei to produce ancient books and originals to prove that he is the 66th generation of this boxing, he is so brilliant and superb in philosophy. Therefore, no matter how people lobby him, I hope he can claim that he created the boxing and that he is also the first generation master. However, Mr. Wei, who has the classical spirit, said that this is not the truth of history. It should be said how I got it, and I can't take the greed for heaven as my own. According to the materials and ideas provided by Mr. Wei, Yang Yi and DuDu have published special articles on Shaolin and Taiji.

2. Anyone with a little knowledge of history knows that Jiang Ziya and Lao Zi Li Er are both real figures in history, and they are very famous, and they have made indelible contributions to the development of China culture. For example, Jiang Ziya, who helped Zhou Wenwang and Zhou Wuwang create the founding hero of the Zhou Dynasty for 800 years, was the first monarch of Qi. Known as the originator of the art of war, the hero of the ages, a hundred teachers, the ancestor of the Qi state, and the achievements of the Millennium, it is praised by future generations. In particular, it was worshipped by some later wise men such as Sean, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bowen. Modern people only regard it as a mythical figure because of its long history, especially under the influence of the mythical novel "The List of Gods". In fact, history still has a true and objective evaluation. For example, Jiang Ziya was King Wu Cheng in the Tang Dynasty, Confucius was King Wen Xuan, and Wang Anshi, a famous figure in the Northern Song Dynasty, wrote it.

Louis has two mourning Weng, and he is poor. One is a fisherman and the other is a farmer.

If you hadn't met at that time, you would be a hero.

Tang Wu meets, and the wind is like a tiger and a dragon. Wang Xing was just joking.

Until now, thousands of years later, who will compete with you!

* * * Chairman also made an in-depth study of Jiang Ziya. He thinks this man is so powerful that even ghosts and gods are afraid of him. He let Kangda's students study him.

The connotation of the magic fox technique

Thirdly, the magic fox technique developed on the basis of Jiang Ziya's Taoist thought is very rich in connotation, including literature, martial arts and medicine, and literature is a big text. If you don't reveal the secret, you can charm all the sages in the world. If you understand it, you can do it ethically. Martial arts is a great martial arts. If the secret is not revealed, you can play all the heroes in the world. If you get art, you can conquer the world with martial arts. Medicine is a great doctor. If the secret is not revealed, all the disadvantages of all the beautiful women in the world can be brought into play, and if it is extracted, it can help the world. But in the past, people's word of mouth was still conservative, so if ordinary people can't understand these connotations, most of them will regard them as mysterious nonsense and are unwilling to investigate and study them in depth. Of course, due to conservatism, they are only circulated in the court, learned from Gao Ba, and passed down from generation to generation, kept secret. "A thousand dollars don't scatter magic power, and a thousand pearls don't scatter magic power."

Fourthly, no matter from Jiang Ziya's standpoint, scholarship and influence, Lao Tzu can't be unaffected by it. The saying in Tao Te Ching that "there is a Sect in words and a monarch in things" shows that Laozi's Taoist thought is inherited and developed. If compared, Jiang Ziya's Taoist thought is a narrative, which is passed down from mouth to mouth, carefully inherited, narrow in scope, and pays attention to the unity of all changes. The martial arts of Shenhu, founded and developed on the basis of his theory, are quite isolated, and his literary martial arts determine that he wants to compete for the world. Military strategists of later generations also took Tao as their religion, such as Sun Wuzi, Zhang's ovary, Zhuge Liang's words Kong Ming and Liu Ji, who are known as the second generation heroes. Laozi's "Tao" is a bit passive and reclusive, paying attention to purity and inaction. The 5,000-word Tao Te Ching, which combines rigidity with softness, became the basis of Tai Ji Chuan and Qigong theory in later generations and spread widely. However, its Tai Ji Chuan kung fu may be slightly inferior to that of the fox, and they pay attention to personal cultivation. Later generations of Chen Tuan, Zhang * * and Zhang Sanfeng should be the successors of this concept, so,

Wei Jianyi, a descendant of Shenhu.

5. Since childhood, Mr. Wei Jianyi has studied the martial arts of Shenhu with his father, Mr. Wei Anbang, received his father's cruel training and mastered many unique skills of Shenhu. In his early years, he became an artist and traveled all over the country with his parents' relocation. He especially likes learning and communication, and takes pleasure in playing tricks to destroy and kill the enemy's hands. But he also talks about martial arts and never hurts his opponent for no reason. Hundreds of people at home and abroad have played against him, but he almost never misses. His experience is of great benefit to better play the fighting function of digging the magic tiger. At the same time, in the past, Mr. Wei established a great reputation with his unique skills and established his lofty position in the Wulin. Therefore, Mr. Wei also had such a mantra, called big experience, big experience. Learn carefully and listen widely. But Mr. Wei was also very conservative at that time. Many people contacted him and even showed him the secrets of his boxing spectrum, hoping to get something from him. But the result was that in a blink of an eye, Mr. Wei demonstrated for them, which was better than what his predecessors did. However, people still know nothing about Wei Jiaquan's true face. This is what Teacher Wei said: "It is not easy to change from high to low, and it is not easy to change from low to high." Mr. Wang criticized Mr. Wei for knowing both this set of boxing and that set of boxing, and thought that it was impossible for Mr. Wang, who knew God Tiger Boxing, to be the same person as Mr. Wang, who had studied Shaolin Boxing and Monkey Boxing. Although this suspicion seems reasonable, the reality is so unexpected. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Mr. Wei officially began to teach the magic fox skills. Persuaded by a leader of the State Sports Commission, 1992, he passed the strict examination and inspection of the editor of Jason Wu magazine and began to give face-to-face correspondence lectures in the magazine. He was just as famous as Mr. Wang Xuanjie, who was also taught face-to-face by correspondence in Jason Wu magazine at that time, and was awarded the title of "Wang Xuanjie in the north and Wei Jianyi in the south". It was these two men who benefited many people in the Wulin. They initiated such a new era of popularization of traditional excellent martial arts. From our investigation of Mr. Wei, we can see that Mr. Wei is very classical and academic, and his thoughts are advancing with the times and gradually liberated. For example, when we visited him recently, we heard him say, "Now many martial arts friends are studying martial arts at all times and from all over the world. If Shenhu doesn't produce high skills in cella and Yin Bao system, they can't be allowed. Now martial friends should not always complain that Mr. Wei is conservative and doesn't teach others, because complaining can't solve any problems. In fact, people like Mr. Wei who have a certain secret biography need external promotion, so-called external stimulation and internal development. To paraphrase a fashionable phrase, development is the last word, and it can be said that development is the key to solving all problems related to the inheritance of the God Fox.

6. There is publicity in some martial arts magazines. Besides, customs: Shenhumen is a sect, Shenhushu is a kind of martial arts, and his 66th generation descendant is only Mr. Wei Jianyi. However, Mr. Wei said privately that the magic fox is an academic, and if it is regarded as a martial art or sect, its academic status and value will be reduced. Mr. Wang Xiangzhai once said: learning is the skill of many families and the holiness of the universe. Magic fox art transcends national boundaries, sects and technologies. In recent years, newspapers and magazines have reported less about the magic tiger art, but the enthusiasm of a group of martial arts lovers at home and abroad is higher. They still keep frequent contact and communication with Mr. Wei, and strive to learn and master the art of magic tiger. There are no more books and CDs about the art of the magic tiger, and there is no cultivation of the disciples of the magic tiger. These are all external views. The 300,000-word monograph "Seven Treasures of Zhen Jing ―― Secrets of Understanding Classical unique martial arts in China", which was compiled orally by Wei's disciples based on his ten-year apprenticeship experience, has been completed. The internal technical drawings, materials and discs have also been taken, which many martial arts friends may see in the middle and senior textbooks of Shenhu. At present, the skill of Shenhu has developed to the 67th and 68th generations, and many martial friends are proud of learning this subject! I believe that the prediction of some martial arts friends that "the great boxing in the 1990s, the magic tiger skill in 2 1 century" may come true soon.

Disadvantages of magic tiger technique

Seven, but then again, there is still a considerable gap between desire and reality. Many martial arts friends want to develop the magic fox, and Mr. Wei Jianyi also wants to promote the magic fox, but in reality, the unfavorable factors restricting the development of the magic fox far outweigh the current favorable factors. For example, many people want to invest in Shenhu, but they don't know Shenhu at all. Many people regard Shenhu as a business, and if they can't do it, it will be easy. Another example is that the magic tiger technique is clever and diabolical, and it has great power to break the gods and destroy the body. Once mastered and used by gangsters, people will not often look for Mr. Wei. After losing a contest with Mr. Wei, a Wulin celebrity said: Your things are really powerful, but this is something that the country wants to restrict, and my things are something that the country wants to advocate in the future. There are also Wulin people clamoring to compete with Teacher Wei: "What do you think he can do to me? He really dares to hurt me. I told him that the lawsuit would not be finished in the future; I have a lot of money and connections. If he dares to come, I will call more than 100 people to deal with him. " In addition, there are problems of royalties and piracy. It is blasphemous to spread the magic tiger skills without spending a penny. It's too cold at the top, and the wind won't stop. Muxiu was destroyed by LAM Raymond, which is higher than others' envy. It is better not to develop than to develop so hard, and Mr. Wei really doesn't want to be sorry to anyone, so just don't develop now. In this way, we won't make CDs with belle and CCTV or publish books with magazines and publishing houses, so we have to do so. Teacher Wei often admonishes his disciples: "Don't compare the martial arts of Shenhu with other sects. The fox can't be famous any more. If you become famous, you will easily make enemies and be hated. Practicing martial arts is your practice. Fake things are sold everywhere, and real things are hidden everywhere. Our stuff is really unique at home and abroad, and its academic value is also valuable. That's enough to know. Look down on many things, whether people praise me to the sky or throw me to the ground. What's the matter? Sometimes people praise you, and you have to fight with your life. To say that I used to be famous, but my name hasn't changed at all, it may bring you more confusion and lead to my early death. Nowadays, it is not enough to talk about fists and fists, but also to use big efforts. " Mr. Wei thinks that "nothing matters" may be a good thing for him personally, and his free and easy mood is blue, but it is very harmful to the academic development of Shenhu art, but it is not unreasonable for Mr. Wei to deliberately train his disciples to fight in boxing circles in various countries and then do nothing now. Isn't China a "knight and master" from ancient times to the present? !

Eight, Shenhu can be said that the theory and practical technology are 100% different from those of other sects. It belongs to unconventional and abnormal martial arts. It's peerless martial arts, not as good as stunts. It is "high-tech" in high technology. It doesn't cheat on leg press, nor does it kick the target stump with sandbags, nor does it lift barbells and locks. Learners are still as light as a swallow, and their strength is endless and commendable. Its inheritance and dissemination can give martial arts, traditional culture and confidence to Chinese people. Different from some traditional martial arts, it relies on boxing and Sanda in fighting. In addition, there are theories and technologies that you can't imagine, such as one-step jumping, internalized operation, sucking wind and flying around, bending and grinding posts, knowing gods and abilities, multi-functional integration, Yuanlingdan, wave magic and so on. This is different from Li Zijian's view that "the magic tiger technique is Wei Jianyi's new ancient boxing". On the contrary, I think that "this feat should only exist in the sky, and how many people on earth can know it." So, sometimes it's hard to tell the truth. In the late 1980s, Wei Jingsheng accepted the suggestion of a leader of the State Sports Commission and stopped commenting on other sects publicly. For 20 years, although he is "arrogant and wild", he has never been "outspoken", and people still treat him like this. If a stone is published in the master series of the true martial arts such as Qibao Zhen Jing, Mahayana Zhen Jing and Wanmiao Zhen Jing, there will be a thousand waves of abuse, which will definitely affect the mood and normal life. Sometimes you are clarified because you are right. Isn't this a lesson? ! Many people don't discuss academics with you, but play with you, rivers and lakes and society. Mr. Wei can't afford to play and doesn't care. Over the years, I am grateful to Mr. Wei for his comments to the outside world, without commenting or responding, with less blows and calculations!

The Inheritance and Development of the Art of Shenhu

Nine, any academic will encounter the topic of inheritance and development, and the magic tiger art can only talk about development after inheritance. The young martial artist once gave me three words, asking me to be "sincere and complete", and Mr. Wei also gave me eight words to encourage me: "seeking truth from facts and striving for perfection"! I am deeply touched by this. I think the most important problem at present is to relieve Mr. Wei's worries and anxieties, persuade him to tell all the skills he knows and has mastered, and then let the students get their places according to his actual situation and his specialties. The primitive magic tiger skill is important, and so is the conceptual magic tiger skill, but without it, the conceptual magic tiger skill will really become an empty shell. From this perspective, I think it is of great significance to be kind to Mr. Wei. Some people call Mr Wei a living fossil of Taoism and Qilu culture in Jiang Ziya. Indeed, he can help you learn the magic tiger technique of "preaching and teaching to solve doubts". He can publish books and discs and provide various materials and technical support for people's research. At present, many "Ye Gong" are "good dragons", many "Zheng Ren" are "quite confident" and many "wise after the event" are good at "Monday morning quarterback". It can be said that the work of "saving the fox" is imminent. I hope that Mr. Wei will bring out all kinds of disciples who can show the original skills of Shenhu when he is not very depressed. In order to facilitate the all-round development of Shenhu in the future, disciples will develop it into a "theological" Shenhu, whether it is a fitness Shenhu, a performance Shenhu, a rescue Shenhu or a battle Shenhu. That is another matter, and it is arbitrary. In a word, we believe that Mr. Wei's magic tiger skill has been passed down for hundreds of generations and thousands of years.

Ten, it is difficult to do things at present, and it is even more difficult to do good deeds and tell the truth. Mr. Wei often sighs: "The magic fox is a good thing, just like a treasure, it can't be dug out or dug out. It is also like a huge project, you can't finish it, and people in academia, business and politics can learn useful nutrition from it. The disclosure of some core technologies may lead to revolutionary changes in many fields. Reader Wu, try to eat eggs, but don't pursue chickens that have laid eggs. Some people have studied. " If my ambition succeeds, I will gather the wealth of the world. If I can't do it, I can't do it! "

A few years ago, Mr Li Zijian wrote a letter to my students. The layman wants to say: "The day when I question the academic research of Shenhu is the end of Shenhu." "Mr. Jiang may destroy the fox." This is absolutely an idealist's nonsense. Mr. Lu Xun said: "everything must be studied to understand." I hope Mr. Li Zijian can further study Shenhu and Wushu, and gradually approach the truth of Shenhu and China Wushu. Finally, I'd like to end with a poem written by Feng Yanping, a famous calligrapher, after watching Mr. Wei's works and discs, to express my great respect for Mr. Wei, a martial arts hero:

Shenhu comes out of the mountain with strong winds, and his stunts shake the world;

Three plans to protect the country, seven realms of strong men.

Treasure wall is empty and jealous, and high standards are the same as saints;

Martial arts and literary talents are in the air, and eternal friends are proud of Xiong Jie! ,

According to the "three pictures", it refers to the three lonely images of refining treasure, fighting treasure and saving treasure.

"Seven Realms" refers to the situation of a white tiger contending with each other, the movement law of the western white tiger stars hidden in the sky, Jiang Ziya's art of war, Jiang Ziya's Daoism, Jiang Ziya's method of rejuvenating the country, the technique of guiding fitness, and the fighting skills of Qi strategists.
