According to Li Naizhou's "Twenty-four Fists", "Yu Chengtong is addicted to martial arts ... he is not ashamed of anything. In the last ten years, I met Yan Shengdao in Luoyang, Henan Province, and I felt quite benefited. In a few years, I got 40 words and punched 40 times, and I took 32 pieces, totaling 72 pieces. But I can't remember a lot of things, about 24. I am named after my life, which shows my understanding and is convenient for scholars to examine. However, I'm afraid I'll stick to the drums. Because winter is relatively free, it is expanded to 24, with eight at each point. *
This preface is not only a true portrayal of his creation of 24-character boxing, but also a summary of his lifelong study and efforts. It is clear that the teacher taught the "40 methods of word boxing" (the teacher is unknown), so where did he add the "32 pieces"? This also requires learning boxing from an early age. When I was a teenager in Zhou, I mainly studied the techniques of Zhang Ba handed down from the Yu family in Sishui, including 24 general fists, monkey fists, 21 guns and so on, but I didn't get the gist in my childhood, and later I got Yan Shengdao's advice. Wushu has made great progress.
Ji Naizhou mastered the techniques of Monkey Boxing, Twenty-four General Boxing and Twenty-one Gun in his twenties. Then why did he later set it as "seventy-two changes"? There are two reasons: first, years of study and accumulation, drills and summaries make him feel that his life energy is limited and he has learned too much to pass on; Secondly, he found that the boxing instruments handed down by predecessors were repetitive and needed to be refined and standardized.
So what is the specific content of "72 changes"? Namely, up, middle and down. The upper twenty-four potential is based on monkey boxing; The twenty-four potentials in the middle are modeled on the twenty-four general trend boxing and induced fighting boxing, and the next twenty-four potentials are modeled on the word boxing, with slight gains and losses, even the original potential remains unchanged. It can also be seen that the upper, middle and lower twenty-four styles are a milestone in the establishment of Qijia Boxing, and in a sense, it is also the beginning of Qijia Boxing. Ji Naizhou once summarized it as: "……" The fifth level of joint training. The form and spirit are practiced together, and the appearance is the same, and the shape is flawless ... but the merits and demerits are half, which is listed as the fifth level of Kung Fu, that is, the middle 24 potential. Sixth floor, practice floating. Those who float, the air floats on the floor, also for the plate, that is, up and down like flying. Practice heavy breathing on the seventh floor. If the air sinks, the air sinks to the end, that is, the chassis, and the chassis rolls down under the twenty-four potential. "
Seventy-two potential teachings have a long history, especially the twenty-four potential in the middle, namely "Qinglong Going to Sea" boxing, which has been confirmed in surveys in Xingyang, Gongyi, Xinmi and Kaifeng. But why did Teacher Li generalize seventy-two changes into twenty-four changes? Because the seventy-two movements are complicated, the performance is difficult and the movements are difficult. More suitable for teenagers with very good basic skills, especially the up and down 24-style movements. Therefore, Chi Naizhou was "easy for scholars to review". After careful selection, he compiled two sets of 24-character fists, which reduced the difficulty of movements. However, he soon found that the boxing posture was too simple and the technique was a bit monotonous, but he had to "expand the 24-style again, with eight points each, * * * 192 potential", so he was practicing and inclined to use it, so that "the vertical and horizontal changes are strange, and this is the end."
According to the "Thirty-six Guns", "There was a gun to rein in horses in ancient times, which has been passed down for a long time. In the Ming Dynasty, Tiger Lao Zhangguan was good at guns ... The fifth generation went to Yumen and was admired by Youmu. After learning one or two tricks, he can be full of ambition and visit for a long time, which is really rare; After a weak crown, I met a man who shot 2 1, which was not worthy of the name and was not satisfied. So I thought about it, thought about it, and went further ... "This is the evidence that he studied gun skills at the age of 20 and later created 36 guns.
As for the origin of cudgel, it is obvious that Ji is Zhou's inheritance from Sichuan's grain route. According to the preface of "Twenty-four Sticks": "It is an adventure to get this stick." He Qihu? On September 9, 2001, Qianlong ... my child came for help, and there was a righteous man at the door. When asked about this matter, the righteous man said,' The world visits the Tao.' Invite people to the room, give them a toast, ask their names, and tell them that their surname is Liang and they are also from Sichuan. Talk about everything; On martial arts being good at gun and hammer. The next morning, I performed martial arts in front of the court, and the result was a wonderful dance. Among them, the three heads are clear, the young and the old are easy-going, the combination of rigidity and softness, and the wonderful use of yin and yang are all in the law ... I am willing to learn, and I am willing to learn again, and I have kept my righteousness for more than ten days ... "This quotation describes in detail the ins and outs of his study of Liang Daoism in Sichuan and the story of Twenty-four States.
His double sword master inherited Wang Xinxiang from ancient times. According to his "The Order of Double Sword to Gun", "Since ancient times, I have followed the new elephant king and mastered all kinds of skills, especially the sword. I have treasured it for more than 20 years, but I am eager to learn from scholars and pay attention to seeking advice. So I spare no effort to pour out all my treasures and use up all my possessions ... "
To sum up, the upper, middle and lower 24 potential, the 24-character boxing tends to be positive, the 24-potential boxing, 36 guns, 24 sticks, double swords and spring and autumn knives constitute the core of Jiaojia Boxing School, which is the authenticity of Jiaojia Boxing. Moreover, Professor Li Naizhou's boxing methods are handed down from generation to generation, with detailed illustrations, neat poems, exquisite methods and unique features. Therefore, it is necessary to study, inherit and carry forward Li Jiaquan from now on. The above can only be a preliminary textual research on the origin of Yan Jiaquan, and mistakes in words are inevitable, so those who are still praying for wisdom, please give us your advice. Yan Jia Boxing School has rich contents, numerous works, exquisite techniques and unique features. "Rebuilding Surabaya County Records" records that he "devoted himself to Zhouyi, thoroughly understood the ups and downs of Yin and Yang ... and wrote" Qi Lun "to make it clear that it would return, in which the skill of refining Qi, opening and closing vertically and horizontally, was unprecedented by predecessors". Zhong Naizhou's "On Zhong You" is the first monograph on boxing in ancient martial arts classics, which describes the essence of internal strength training intensively and clearly, and creates a set of methods and theories of internal strength training.
Yan Naizhou's theory of "nourishing qi" is the first step in the history of Wushu development. The author emphasizes the arguments of both internal and external cultivation, combination of movement and static, combination of form and external, and combination of practicing qi, advocates the basic idea of "combination of form and qi" in Wushu, and clearly puts forward that "strength lies in concentration"
The unique "Yin-Yang Theory" is based on the theory of viscera-state of meridians in traditional Chinese medicine, closely combining with the operation characteristics of boxing potential, and studying the dynamic balance relationship between meridian qi-moving and boxing potential transformation.
Yan Naizhou's exposition on "three points and six directions" was first seen in the literature. "Three-point photos, no east slanting west slanting; If the three tips are not bright, there will be a loss of ostentation. " "Learn the combination of fist and hand, hand and eye, eye and heart, heart and god, god and qi, qi and body, and there will be no agility."
Let go of your inner strength. Zhao Jiaquan not only attaches great importance to the cultivation of Zhong Qi, but also pays attention to the training of practitioners' internal skills and masters the skills of releasing internal skills to defeat the enemy. "Like a dream, I was surprised, like a sudden awakening of consciousness, like my skin accidentally burning Mars, like a cold invasion and trembling. Thinking about the scene is fast and fierce. " There are dozens of boxing equipment routines, including fist, stick, sword, marksmanship, spring and autumn knife, elastic belt, sickle, mace and whip.
There are 24 boxing routines (up, middle and down), 24-character boxing, 24-character boxing, simian boxing, 48-character boxing, Sun's 27-character boxing, Jiuqu boxing, Da Luohan boxing, black tiger boxing, White Tiger boxing and cannon boxing. Musical instruments mainly include: 36 guns, 24 sticks, 36 sticks of ape, double swords, 15 knives, 24 knives, spring and autumn knives, eight diagrams chicken claw cymbals, double hammers, Youlong Tiger-headed guns, etc. The sparring includes: single sword and single gun. Double swords against guns, apes against sticks, etc. The physical and mental characteristics of Yan Jia's boxing are: "The head is like a dragonfly, the fist is like a goat's contact, the waist enters the tail of a crow, and the qi is collected from the back to the front, like a purple swallow crossing the forest, opening its crotch in front and closing the garden in the middle."
Li Neigong pays attention to the process of nourishing qi, moving qi, gathering qi and getting angry. In the dynamic fortune, his head is like a dragonfly, his fist is like a sheep's head, his waist is like a cock crow, his tail is curled and his feet are purple. In terms of combat skills and tactics, the hand changes with the enemy's style, and when it sees the air, it attacks the enemy's actual situation, so that the enemy does not know our actual situation. I see the situation clearly and use my strength to break the enemy's center of gravity. Do it: meet the enemy, go against your will, be energetic, flow between yin and yang, use both qi and strength, combine rigidity and softness, run through one after another, from the inside out, combine rigidity and softness. Its potential: use arrogance to shock the enemy, and the strength and potential will be very fast, so that the enemy can't cope and be knocked down.
In the Qing Dynasty, Li's martial arts was famous for his actual combat, and his martial arts, routines and boxing theory were highly praised by martial arts experts for their unique charm. Among the techniques of unarmed combat, there are: Gong Zhuang's internal skill, strength training of various techniques of fixed step and single potential, circuitous techniques of moving step and single potential, three potential series, offensive and defensive play skills, five or six potential series of offensive and defensive play skills, snake-hunting actual combat footwork training, double combat training skills, and quick drop technology series training. And a relatively systematic and perfect internal achievement system.
Li's martial arts have health preserving techniques, such as Gankun pile, Yunshou pile and inclined pile. , easy to learn, cultivate one's morality, prevent diseases and prolong life. In various routines of boxing weapons, it is presented to the public through bionic human dynamics. Its rich content, various routines and comprehensive techniques can be said to be among the best in the traditional boxing school. The basic skills of boxing are: pushing hand, single whip, oblique hitting, flashing hand and four-style serial routine. Boxing routines include: White Tiger Boxing and black tiger boxing, which are like the image of a tiger; Qinglong Boxing is like Youlong's tumbling sea boxing; Double snake claws, like poisonous snakes; 108 artillery boxing is difficult to practice; 24-style air boxing, paying attention to physical fitness, hurting muscles and bones; The 24-character dynamic boxing is like the combination of lightness and rigidity of an ape. Weapon routines can be described as unique and rare. There are 36 magical shots, stunts with the image of former Zhao Yun and later Zhang Fei, constant double swords and single swords evolved from double swords, 36 sticks and 24 sticks of clever and light-handed apes, rare and rare double-sickle guns and double hammers, short and capable 12 knife cutting and 108 guns with comprehensive techniques. Li's numerous boxing methods and weapon series have formed its unique style characteristics, and it is an independent school that combines the dual functions of health preservation, physical fitness and martial arts. In addition, each boxing score uses classical poetry to write a yangko and a poem, expounding the key points of boxing and the changes of martial arts, so that he can enjoy poetry and painting while practicing martial arts. This kind of internal boxing shines like a bright pearl, which is really a treasure of China Wushu.
