"When you are drunk, you throw bricks and tiles, and in the evening you come to the cornices and walk the wall." The Yuan Dynasty said this in the "Descending Mulberry Cai Shun FengMu". The idiom "flying cornices walking on the wall" is derived from here, referring to the fact that people who practice martial arts can walk on the eaves and walls as if flying.
In addition, there is "light gong floating on the water", and the practice of "light gong" actually exists in traditional martial arts in China.
Traditional Chinese martial arts have a very long history, as early as the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, China will use the "martial dance" to train soldiers and boost morale; during the Spring and Autumn Warring States period, the princely states also attached great importance to the use of fighting techniques in the battlefield, and when they developed to the Qing Dynasty, martial arts had occupied a very important position in China.
As for when the light gong began, it is not known, but the "Northern History" once recorded that when the Meditation Temple was built during the Sui Dynasty, there were poles up to more than ten zhang in the temple, but the rope on it was broken, no one could connect the broken rope, and the monks in the temple were very anxious, and it happened that the Sui Dynasty general Shen Guangzai was there.
Shen Guang grabbed the rope with his mouth and slapped the rod up to the dragon head. After the completion of the matter, he went down through the air, expanded the ground with his palm, and took more than ten steps backwards, when people were called meat flying immortals.
In martial arts films, people who can do light skills are basically light in body, in fact, practicing light skills can not make the weight lighter, and it is not simple to practice light skills, to cultivate hard, to study, is also the basic skills of ancient martial arts masters, but why do modern people have no one who can fly over the wall and climb a mountain? Could it be that we have degenerated?
As we all know, in ancient times, science and technology is far less than modern times, the best means of transportation for people to go far away is the horse-drawn carriage, but many people actually rely on their feet to walk, often walking for several kilometers, so the physical fitness of the people in ancient times is much higher than that of modern people who do not exercise much.
In addition, the development of traditional martial arts in china, although there are many people learning martial arts in modern times, but modern martial arts and traditional martial arts in our country are still very different, most people learn martial arts is also for physical fitness, regardless of age, when it will be, but ancient martial arts masters are from a young age to learn martial arts, to see the physique and perseverance of people who learn martial arts.
If the modern warrior fights against the ancient warrior, after one move, he can distinguish between victory and defeat.
In ancient times, people who practiced martial arts did not regard martial arts as a hobby, but as a career, in order to practice martial arts well, even spend a lifetime, and practice martial arts every day.
However, the development of martial arts in China to the Ming and Qing dynasties, because the rulers at that time believed that the practice of martial arts would cause instability to society and even threaten their own rule, so they began to strictly prohibit folk martial arts, so China's traditional martial arts began to wither, and many superb martial arts were lost.
Later, the emergence of advanced weapons such as guns and cannons, as well as the humiliating history at the end of the Qing Dynasty, was a kind of blow to the traditional martial arts of our country, at that time, many people thought that no matter how high the martial arts were, they were not as good as the enemy's guns, and many patriotic people also took up guns, shells, etc., to compete with the enemy.
After the end of the war, although China's martial arts have been inherited, the meaning has been very different, and Wing Chun, which is closest to traditional martial arts, has gradually embarked on the nature of performance and physical fitness.
Moreover, modern people do not practice martial arts like the ancients for ten years.
There is also a great misunderstanding of today's film and television dramas, people who can light skills, martial arts masters, but also inseparable from the category of physical sports, such as "water drift" is the use of water drift, four-wheel drive on the water surface of the principle, can run tens of meters on the water in a short period of time, but it is impossible to be long or static.
