There have been many apes in Emei Mountain since ancient times. According to Su Ji Shen, there are monkeys-like things in the mountains in southwest Sichuan. They are seven feet long. They can walk like humans and are good at walking one by one, so they are called "monkey country", and they are also known as "riding horses" and "catching apes".
According to the local chronicles of Leshan and Emei Mountain, Stuart Kong Xuan, named Zi Ling, was bred in Emei Mountain in the pre-Qin period. He imitated the action of an ape, and created a set of flexible "Emei Tongbi Boxing" and "Monkey Kung Fu Sword Technique" on the basis of hunting.
Through-back boxing "the force comes from the back, and the du meridian is in the back, leading the Zhuyang meridians." At the top of the head and neck collar, the yang gradually disappears, the lower qi reaches, the back qi comes out, the front hand is delivered, the back elbow is bumped, the qi goes from the back to the shoulder, and the back muscle reaches the hand. Ren meridian is in the middle of the chest and abdomen, commanding all the Yin meridians, receiving Yin Qi in front, turning to the abdomen, transforming Yin and Yang, and connecting the mind. "
It is said that there are many apprentices in Kong Xuan. Because Stuart Kong Xuan often wears white clothes, his disciples call him "the ancestor of white apes".
During the reign of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty, Sun Simiao, the drug king, went to Emei Mountain to practice medicinal diet and wrote a book "Prescription for Thousand Women". Martial arts practitioners and Sun Simiao studied all kinds of herbs all the year round, and took tea as an expression of Taoism, which formed the early tea medicine group organization in China, which was the beginning of the integration of Emei martial arts and Taoist tea school.
According to "Five Lights Meeting Yuan", Buddhism has been greatly promoted, while Taoism has been weakened since the southern sects of China Buddhism, such as Wenzong, Linjizong and Cao Dongzong, landed in Emei Mountain in succession.
In 835, monks and others in the Lin Ji School of Buddhism in Emei Mountain combined Lin Ji Qigong, Emei Tongbi Boxing and Emei Sword Fairy, creating the most complete ancestor of Emei School Wushu in China.
In 845, Zen master Changfu Dayuan combined the original concept of Taoist medicinal tea in Emei Mountain, Taoist health preservation and Buddhist Zen thought, and founded the "Qing method of Emei tea ceremony", which formed the earliest origin of Emei tea ceremony. So far, since the Tang Dynasty, the two schools of self-cultivation in Emei Mountain have formally supported the balance between Taoism and Buddhism in Emei Mountain and developed.
Emei, Shaolin and Wudang all follow the principle of "having both form and spirit and practicing both inside and outside", but they have their own characteristics in practice, especially in three aspects: practicing both inside and outside, combining rigidity with flexibility, and combining length with length.
Buddhism entered Mount Emei from the Jin Dynasty. After the Song Dynasty, Mount Emei became Pu Xian Dojo and one of the four famous Buddhist mountains in China. After Buddhism and Taoism were introduced to Mount Emei, monks and Taoists often practiced boxing and stick techniques while meditating and chanting Buddhist scriptures. One is to stay healthy. The second is to protect temples and hospitals.
Because they usually meditate, their internal skills are profound; In addition, the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism learn from each other in practicing boxing and making sticks, learn from each other's strengths and make innovations, and gradually form a unique Emei martial arts.
Emei Wushu has the advantages of both Buddhism and Taoism, which not only absorbs the power of Taoism, but also absorbs the static force of Buddhist meditation, so it creates a set of training methods combining static and dynamic. This method is combined with all kinds of boxing, equipment, Sanda and Qigong, forming a huge Emei Wushu system.
Emei recorded martial arts began in the Southern Song Dynasty. There is a monk named An Deyu on Mount Emei. He is a traveling monk with strong martial arts, so he is called "Taoist with white eyebrows".
An Deyu, a monk, invented a set of boxing methods called "White Eyebrows Boxing", which is characterized by imitating the white apes in the mountains, jumping and rolling on the grass, dancing and moving, and being extremely agile.
Master An Deyu is not only superb in martial arts, but also outstanding in literary talent. He collected the achievements of Emei Buddhism and Taoism, combined with his own experience, and compiled the book Emei Boxing. This book is the earliest written record about Emei Wushu. From then on, Emei Mountain Buddhism had a relatively systematic martial arts theory and practical experience, and formed its own system and style in China Wulin.
During the Jian Yan period of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Baiyun Zen Master of Linjizong in Jinding, Emei Mountain, combined the mechanism of deficiency of yin and yang, human body's ascending and descending with the dynamic and static techniques in martial arts, and created "Emei Qi Zhuanggong", which was later called "Twelve Zhuang Gong of Emei" because of its 12 section. Twelve Zhuang Gong in Emei has been handed down from generation to generation.
