Li Cunyi is the elder brother of Haneda Gong and the prototype historical figure of Haneda Gong. Gong Baotian's father is a master of Bagua Palm, and he studied under Dong Haichuan. He is a descendant of the second generation of Bagua Palm, nicknamed "Palace Monkey", and is a disciple of Yin Fu together with "Little Disciple" Wang Dou. In the twenty-third year of Guangxu, he entered the palace as the chief bodyguard, sealed four guards with knives, and served as the personal bodyguard of Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu successively, and was the last chief bodyguard of the Qing court. Gengzinian was given a yellow coat by Qin Ci for his meritorious escort. 1922, invited by Zhang, became a martial arts coach. 1943, Gong Baotian died at the age of 72.
Li Cunyi folks call him "Hebei Door God" and Wulin call him "Northern Xia".
Good at fencing, also known as "single-handed Li". In the twelfth lunar month, he recruited samurai in Mo Jing Temple, and Li Cunyi won the first place. Bai Lishi, who beat the world number one in Beijing, was awarded the first-class gold medal by the government. He is kind, material and upright. He is closely related to the famous swordsman Wang Wu and Cheng, and he is as close as brothers to "Lightning Hand" Zhang Zhankui.
In the 16th year of Guangxu (1890), Li Cunyi taught soldiers martial arts under the account of soldier Liu Kunyi, and made many achievements. In the 22nd year of Guangxu (1896), he arrived in Jinling (now Nanjing) to be the chief military martial arts teacher and a professor with the camp. He also served as the general manager of Liangjiang. Because he was weaker than his official career, he resigned and returned to Renqiu Ruisheng Xiangbuzhuang Nursing Home in Hebei Province to teach martial arts during the day. Later, he went to Baoding to open Wantong Escort Agency and became the director. He is invincible, and no one dares to rob his dart.
19 12 After the founding of the Republic of China, Wushu was advocated and supported by the state. That summer, with the support of the League led by Sun Yat-sen and the cooperation of Mr. Zhang Zhankui, the lightning hand, Li Cunyi founded the largest folk Wushu group of the Chinese Wushu Association in northern Tianjin in Santiaoshi, Hebei District.
19 19, Li Cunyi was invited to teach Wushu at Shanghai Jason Wu Sports Association and at Fudan University. He is the second "Northern Hero" who was invited to lecture in Jiangnan after Huo Yuanjia. After leaving Tianjin, his apprentice, Li Xingjie, one of the "Three Masters of Dingxing Lee", led the Tianjin Chinese Wushu Association with the assistance of Shang Yunxiang, Sun Lutang and Guo. 192 1 year, Li Cunyi's bodyguard died in Renqiu and was buried in Nanxiaoying Village at the age of 74.
At the age of seven, Ip Man began to learn Wing Chun from Chen Huashun, the "King of Wing Chun". 16 years old, far away from Foshan, went to Hong Kong to study foreign languages and attend St. Stephen's School. Later, he studied martial arts with Liang Bi, the son of Liang Zan. The greatest achievement in his life is the promotion of China Wushu, especially Wing Chun. Now tens of millions of people in the world have learned Wing Chun, and some special forces, police and special institutions in Europe and America have been training Wing Chun in actual combat. Nowadays, many internationally renowned Wing Chun masters, such as "Loudspeaker King" Huang Chunliang, "forbidden kingdom" Bruce Lee and Australian Wing Chun master Zhang Zhuoqing, all come from the Ip Man family. Due to IP Man's profound accomplishments in Wing Chun Boxing, martial arts is a model. In a short period of 22 years (May to July), he not only promoted Wing Chun in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, but also spread the seeds of Wing Chun to every corner of the world, so that the fruits of Wing Chun have been firmly spread all over the world. The talents he trained before his death were Liang Xiang, Ye Buqing, Zhao Yun, Bruce Lee, Luo Yao, Xu Shangtian and Huang Yan.
According to the historical environment at that time, I personally think that Li Cunyi should be better than Gong Baotian, but the difference should be not big. Gong Baotian should also be better than IP Man, because they often experience life-and-death battles; Although IP Man has met many times in his life, there seems to be no real heavyweight opponent (or I personally don't know-don't blame him if he is wrong). In the movie, IP Man hit many imaginary people. But IP Man's kung fu is certain. Li Cunyi and Gong Baotian are the figures of the last generation of IP Man, so we can only infer that they have never met.

It is suggested that "Song Ting 1994" go online to find more information about them, so as to learn more and form their own judgment.
The success of Xingyiquan takes many, many years. Wing Chun Boxing is faster and more suitable for today's society. Listening to songs can be practiced by yourself. But you must find a famous teacher to teach you.
