Sui and Tang dynasties in folk literature
In folk literature, the storyteller's favorite historical theme is represented by the Sui and Tang Dynasties: for example, the Sui and Tang Dynasties and the Biography of the Tang Dynasty are all works that have been processed and sorted out on the basis of book commentary. Of course, in terms of music and art, the theme of the Three Kingdoms is more popular.
The popularity and influence of "Speaking of Tang" in China's folk are far inferior to those of "Sui and Tang Dynasties", but in "Speaking of Tang", the concept of "Sui and Tang Eighteen Good Men" is put forward, which can be described as deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and has been relished by Sui and Tang enthusiasts. Therefore, the question of the force value of the eighteen good men of the Sui and Tang dynasties is also talked about by many Sui and Tang enthusiasts.
Sui and Tang Eighteen Good Men
When the author of "Speaking of Tang Biography" set "Sui tang eighteen good men", he set Li Yuanba as the first place and Shan Xiongxin as the eighteenth place, and among the eighteen good men, there were thirteen who appeared in the "Tale of Tang Dynasty", resulting in the absence of five good men.
The eighteen good hans of the Sui and Tang dynasties belonged to many camps: among them, those belonging to Wagangzhai were Luo Cheng (the seventh best Han), Qin Qiong (the sixteenth), and Shan Xiongxin, who belonged to the Sui Dynasty, and could be called a wealth of talents: for example, Yuwen Chengdu.
In the later stages of the Tang Dynasty story, with the frequent wars, good men such as Pei Yuanqing (the third place) and Shang Shi apprentice (the tenth place) died one after another, and finally, on the eve of the Unification of the Tang Dynasty, the best good man in the world in martial arts was already the seventh Luo Cheng.
When Yuwen Chengdu met Luo Cheng
Luo Cheng's martial arts are famous for the Luo family gun. Luo Cheng's father Luo Yiben was a Northern Qi general, luo Cheng's mother was Qin Qiong's aunt, which shows how deep Luo Cheng's family origins were, Luo Cheng's death was due to Luo Cheng's belonging to a general of Li Shimin's lineage, and the crown prince Li Jiancheng was worried that luo cheng's existence would put himself in a disadvantage in the struggle with Li Shimin, so he designed to kill Luo Cheng, and Li Chengcheng's behavior also completely angered Li Shimin's generals, especially Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin, who were from the Wagang clan, and laid the groundwork for the tragedy of Xuanwumen later.
Yuwen Cheng was the son of yu wenhua, a traitorous minister of the Sui Dynasty. Yuwen Chengdu was born with divine power, and judging from the details in the "Biography of Tang Dynasty", the martial arts system between Yuwen Chengdu and Luo Cheng was not the same.
If you apply the concept of Jin Yong martial arts, the kung fu practiced by Yuwen Chengdu is similar to the kung fu characterized by rigid refinement such as "Descending Dragon Eighteen Palms" and "Dragon Elephant Ruogong", while Luo Cheng's Luo Jia Gun pays attention to skill, similar to the kung fu of "Falling Ying Sword Method" and "Xiantian Gong", focusing on skill.
Sui and Tang Eighteen Good Hanli, like Yuwen Chengdu, there are Xiongkuohai and Pei Yuanqing, it is worth playing that among the Eighteen Good Hans of Sui and Tang Dynasties, almost all of them are Yuwen Chengdu's characters who rely on strong and fierce kung fu - such as Xiongkuohai, who easily killed two tigers with his bare hands, in contrast, Wu Song in "Water Margin" can not be compared with Xiongkuohai.
Judging from the story setting of "Speaking of Tang Dynasty", Qin Qiong, who is also proficient in martial arts skills, and Yuwen Chengdu, is unable to negotiate with it for one round and loses miserably, although Luo Chengwugong is stronger than Qin Qiong, but if he encounters Yuwen Chengdu, it is difficult to withstand several rounds - after all, in the face of absolute strength, skills are sometimes not so important.
Therefore, I personally believe that Luo Cheng may not be killed by Yuwen Chengdu when he encounters Yuwen Chengdu, but it is no suspense to be easily defeated by Yuwen Chengdu after a few rounds.
