For us today, Wudang has long been a legend in history, but Elder Lu, who is also known as the three heroes of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China with Huo Yuanjia and Du Fu, is a legend in today's reality. His life time of 1 12 years old is a legend of a century. Legend was born in the last century, and then in the last century. Lv Zijian was born in Yichang, Hubei Province in 19, that is, 1893. He was a famous martial arts family at that time.
1900, when Lv Zijian was seven years old, he began to learn martial arts with his mother. After studying martial arts with his mother for five years, Lv Zijian made rapid progress. Therefore, when 1905 12 years old, his family decided to let him follow Li Xuewu, a famous Wudang teacher. As the saying goes, "there is no end to learning." Lv Zijian, who was obsessed with martial arts, came to Emei Mountain in the second year and became a master and apprentice with Li Changye. Well, Lv Zijian went to Emei Mountain for three times to learn martial arts from Li Changye, the master of Emei Mountain, and studied with him for eight years. He learned from the palm of God Li Changye that he was a "wandering palm of gossip chain" and later became his third generation descendant. Besides Li Changye, the head of Wudang Zixiao, Xu Benshan was also an important master in Lv Zijian's life. During studying Bagua Palm with Li Changye, Lv Zijian once went to Wudang Mountain to learn from his teacher and worshipped at the gate of Zixiao. After studying martial arts in Lv Zijian for 20 years, he finally achieved something.
1920, Nanjing Yuhuatai held a martial arts competition. At that time, 27-year-old Lv Zijian won the championship of Wushu Congress in one fell swoop. This marks the end of Lv Zijian's teaching career and his independence in Wulin. Lv Zijian's new martial arts career began with heroic deeds. In fact, since he was young, Lv Zijian has been practicing martial arts with chivalry as the goal. Now that Lv Zijian has finally learned martial arts and China's medical technology from a famous teacher, he is naturally full of ambition to do great things. Nowadays, whenever Lv Zijian recalls that year, he can't help but say happily: "Learning Kung Fu can not only keep fit, but more importantly, it can eliminate violence and keep fit!" He did win back face for China people with martial arts. Chiang Kai-shek heard about Lv Zijian's reputation, sent someone to invite Lv Zijian, and decided to hire him as a guard. At the same time, he was awarded the position of Major General, director of Wushu instructor.
1945, another great event happened in Lv Zijian's life. At that time, General Marshall of the United States had a bodyguard named Tom John, an American boxer, who was very arrogant. He challenged in Chungking, threatening to defeat all China people. Although this man is arrogant, he does have some real kung fu in his hand. So although there were many good challengers, they were all defeated by Tom John. So Tom John became even more arrogant. He not only boasted that China was so skilled, but also arrogantly insulted China people as "the sick man of East Asia". Lv Zijian was furious when he learned of this situation, so he went to see Chiang Kai-shek and demanded to compete with the American fanatic. With the consent of Chiang Kai-shek and Marshall, Lv Zijian and Tom John signed a life-and-death contest in chongqing nanshan. At that time, many people were worried about him after hearing about it, and some even advised him to give up the contest. But he laughed it off. Finally, as a result of the contest between the two men, Lv Zijian knocked down Tom John with the eight diagrams palm. Three days later, Tom John died of serious injuries during the flight of the plane sent abroad for treatment. Lv Zijian breathed a sigh of relief for the people of China.
Time flies, time flies. Lv Zijian has been treating people with medical skills for decades. At the same time, he set up a martial arts school to teach Wudang Kung Fu. It is estimated that in the mainland alone, he has taught more than five or six thousand Wudang disciples, all of whom are apprentices. Well, they have taught the fifth generation, and there are really countless disciples and grandchildren. Although he was in Sichuan, his apprentice even spread to Hong Kong, the most famous of which was Ma Zhifu, the third generation head of Hong Kong Apocalypse Qigong. Ma Zhifu, who studied Wudang Kung Fu since childhood, studied apocalyptic Qigong with his master Zhang Yingqing for more than 30 years. Now he is the third generation head of Apocalypse Qigong. It was not until the last two years that he learned gossip from Lv Zijian. When Lv Zijian started his career, people often respected Shaolin and despised Wudang. In fact, as the saying goes, "there is Shaolin in the north and Wudang in the south", and the excellent martial arts of Shaolin and Wudang have their own characteristics. If you want to compare with martial arts, you may not be able to tell the winner. Ma Zhifu said that Shaolin kungfu is hard work, while Wudang is static braking, which is as fast as lightning and as slow as reeling. Shaolin Kung Fu is a kind of kung fu outside the home, and people of Shaolin School can tell by their appearance that it is martial arts. Wu Tang clan, on the other hand, keep their mouths shut, and only when they are lucky can they show their inner kung fu. Ma Zhifu got the true biography of the elder Lu, and devoted himself to practicing the Eight Diagrams Palm.
In Ma Zhifu's eyes, Lv Zijian is a very strict master: "He brought down all the teaching methods on the mountain. I'm afraid I'm distracted, so I'm not allowed to get in touch with the outside world when practicing martial arts, such as watching movies or something. I want to get up at 3 am and practice until 7 am. " However, Ma Zhifu said that he didn't feel hard at all. It is very rare for him to get a real biography of Master Lu's martial arts. He must study hard and carry forward his learned martial arts in the future. At present, Lv Zijian hopes to have the opportunity to open a martial arts school in Hong Kong in the future and bring his martial arts to Hong Kong. During his few days in Hong Kong, he found that Hong Kong people seldom exercised, and he advised, "In the past, with swords and guns, martial arts could protect themselves; Now martial arts can't stop the bullets, but it can keep fit. " In fact, people often only know that Lv Zijian is good at kung fu, but few people know that his medical skills are equally good. As early as 1929, in order to protest against the Kuomintang's "case of abolishing traditional Chinese medicine" at that time, he was elected as the head of the Chinese medicine medical group, and had a contest with Dr. Ma Liren's western medicine group for 100 days, and finally won.
During the Anti-Japanese War, he had a close relationship with Feng Yuxiang, a patriotic general of the Kuomintang, and became a good friend of Jin Lan. He used to be a martial arts instructor in the attache room of the chairman of the Kuomintang Military Commission. 1939, Li Xun, a senior soldier who was then commander of the Sixth Theater of Kuomintang, suffered from comminuted fractures of femur and ischium. After receiving treatment from Lv Zijian, he recovered and returned to the team within two months. After liberation, the older generation of Lu saved many lives with his good medical skills.
1950, wronged for 30 years. The spring breeze of reform and opening up prompted him to usher in the second spring. 1979 was elected as a member of CPPCC. With years of martial arts and medical skills, he opened the "Yudan Zijian Martial Arts School" and the "Lv Zijian Orthopedic Clinic" in Chongqing (which still exists today), and opened dozens of martial arts schools all over the country, with thousands of apprentices and many outstanding disciples in Hong Kong, Taiwan, the United States, Japan, France and Southeast Asia.
65438-0986 was hired as the chief consultant by the International Qigong Society. In the same year, he was hired as the general consultant and vice chairman of Wudang Wushu Development Center in California. On June 5438+1October 65438+August, 2005, Zhou, the head of Chongqing Natural Gate, served as a judge in the 5th Wudang Tai Ji Chuan Friendship Association and Zhaobao Tai Ji Chuan Friendship Association. Now, Lv Zijian has inherited the internal strength of Wu Tangmen's masters in previous dynasties, and has created his own "Eight Diagrams and Palm Mixed Health-keeping Skill". After practicing martial arts for more than one hundred years, Lv Zijian has realized the way of keeping in good health, so although he is 1 12 years old, he is still in high spirits. Many people envy the longevity of the elderly, so many people come to ask for a classic of Chinese studies, and he tells them truthfully. "Eat well in the morning, eat well at noon and eat less at night." What a good regimen. Lv Zijian usually gets up at 6 o'clock in the morning and has breakfast after practicing gossip for about 1 hour. Breakfast includes 4 eggs, 4 steamed buns, 2 big bags and a large cup of soybean milk. He also specifically told not to eat greasy food, especially fat pork, so as not to block blood vessels; Lean meat can be eaten, but not too much; Sugar should not be eaten, but light food such as vegetables should be eaten; Adequate sleep is essential, and you must sleep for 8 hours every day. Lv Zijian usually grinds wheat into powder to make tea at home and never eats seafood. His family followed him to learn martial arts and eating habits, and everyone lived a long life. His three children are now 92, 84 and 82 years old, and his third wife is 84 years old and still healthy.
According to Li Jie, chairman of the Chinese Wushu Association, since the implementation of Wushu ranks in China, five famous martial artists who have worked in Wushu teaching and training positions for a long time have been awarded nine ranks. Lv Zijian was the first folk martial artist to win the nine-stage championship. Before, I always thought that a hero like Lv Zijian would only appear in the plot of martial arts novels, but I never thought that in this real world, there really was such a legendary martial arts master hidden in the downtown area.
