Speaking of light gong, this may be the martial arts that we are most familiar with, whether it is a martial arts novel, or some film and television works, light gong is simply standard, and it is not embarrassing to be a hero if you do not fly over the wall.
Like the "Water Margin" in the four famous works, it describes the hero of excellent light skill, the drum on the flea time shift, some people say that the divine line Taibao Daizong who travels eight hundred miles a day is not more powerful, DaiZong's kung fu is more biased towards a Taoist technique, which needs to be blessed with tools, to say that the best light skill is shi qian, but the main business of shi qian everyone also knows that before going to Liangshan, he was a thief, and his kung fu was actually closer to the truth.
And like the light skills described in Jin Yong's novels, they are even more powerful, such as Duan Yu, who can take Ling Bo micro-steps, and the green-winged bat King Wei Yixiao, their light skills have all been magical, obviously not ordinary people can practice.
To say that the plot in the novel is thought to be a fantasy, then one of the twenty-four histories of the "History of the North" recorded a piece of information, saying that the rope of the flagpole of the Meditation Temple was broken, and a person named Shen Guang was found to help untie the rope, only to see this population biting the rope and patting the pole up, until the dragon head. When he was finished, he jumped off the pole again, palmed the ground, and walked backwards for more than ten steps, when people called meat flying immortals. This kung fu is really real,
So, why is it that the light work in ancient times was so powerful, but it has basically been lost today? In fact, the reason is also very simple, about two points.
The first point is that the times have changed, now with the continuous development of science and technology, people can use more and more tools, means of transportation such as bicycles, motorcycles, electric vehicles, cars, ships, planes, high-speed rail, etc., now people who can travel eight hundred miles a day, even thousands of kilometers are not in question, so convenient and fast, who still practice what snow without a trace, floating on the water and other light skills?
Moreover, now they are all legal society, there are cameras everywhere, not to mention that if you practice well, you may have to go to the public security bureau to prepare a case, is it not very embarrassing. In today's fast-paced and impetuous society, it can only be said that the cost performance of practicing light exercises is too low.
The second point is that true kung fu must work hard, there is a saying that if you want to be noble in front of people, you must suffer sin after people, without the perseverance of practicing three or nine in winter and practicing three volts in summer, how can you learn real kung fu? Not to mention the legendary kung fu lost, even now we have seen some of the kung fu to be lost, such as bone reduction gong, the practice of bone reduction gong is extremely difficult, known as the "bone reduction gong" The last descendant of the ghost hand Wang Baohe once revealed that in order to really practice to retract freely, you need to remove the bones and then combine, his son did not let practice, because it is too bitter, so far has not found a successor, I am afraid that after a hundred years of Wang Baohe, this kung fu will be lost.
As we all know, Chinese kung fu requires a long time to practice, and light kung fu is indeed a kind of kung fu that exists in reality, but it is not as magical as written in the novel, nor can it achieve anti-gravity, but it is just to practice its own strength, speed, balance, etc. to a certain level.
There is often a meme about Chen Shixingdao on the Internet, that is, Chen Shixingdao told everyone that there is no light skill in the world, everyone should believe in science, and then turn around and jump from a height of tens of meters, unscathed, in fact, the Dao commander jumped from a height of four or five meters, nothing.
Now people mention light gong is easy to associate with a sport, that is, parkour, this sport originated in France is also known as urban sprinting, and light gong to have the same magic, are their own strength, speed, balance, etc. are practiced to a certain realm, we often in the video platform can see these people on the city building cornices and wall, if not strictly speaking, this is also a kind of light work.
