Ma Litang was a martial arts master and a master of traditional Chinese medicine, but he probably did not expect that among his disciples, there was a scum that insulted his reputation. So who is this scum, and how did he insult the reputation of the Horse Auditorium?
Born in 1903, Ma Litang is a native of Mahusheng Village in Hejian Province, Hebei Province.
Hejian belongs to the Cangzhou area, where since ancient times it has been a place of good men, and the wind of martial arts has a long history, and both men, women and children can dance guns and sticks. Ma Litang has been interested in martial arts since childhood. When he was 7 years old, he studied Shaolin Tan Leg and Chinese Boxing with local boxers.
Speaking of which, the Ma Litang family is a family of cultivators and readers, and the family lives on a few acres of land. Because his father knew a little about poetry and knew the importance of reading, he was sent to a private school to study, and after school, he went to the boxing master's house to learn martial arts.
Ma Litang was clever and clever, whether it was reading or learning martial arts, he showed extraordinary talent, so he was deeply praised by teachers and masters.
But life is never easy. Soon after Ma Litang was studying, his father died of illness. Ma Auditorium, who suffered misfortune, could only rely on his mother for his life. Despite the increasingly difficult life, his mother did not agree to interrupt his studies.
Fast forward a few years, and Ma Auditorium has grown into a tall and thin teenager.
It was a day near the Chinese New Year's Eve, and my mother was quite sad because she didn't have money to buy New Year goods. After Ma Litang knew, he cut a load of firewood on the mountain and picked it up to the market to sell, ready to use the money from the sale to buy some New Year goods to come back and broaden his mother's heart.
Not to mention, there were a lot of people in the market, and coupled with the cold weather, the firewood in the horse hall was quickly bought. Just when Ma Auditorium was preparing to buy some New Year goods to go home, he suddenly heard a series of screams. He went looking for a sound and saw a strong man of five years and three thicknesses punching and kicking an old man on the ground. Despite the old man's screams, he was guarding a basket of cabbage in his hands. When the strong man saw that the old man was dead or alive, he raised his left foot and kicked at his arm fiercely.
Ma Litang knew that if he kicked down, the old man's arm would definitely be broken, so he ignored his young and weak body and hugged the strong man's left leg.
The strong man was held by the leg and kicked at the old man with his right foot instead. But he suddenly hugged his left foot in pain and screamed. Looking down, there was a half-sized man hanging from his left leg, biting his leg with his teeth. Annoyed, the strong man threw the horse hall a few steps away with a move, and while scolding, he swung his fist at the horse hall.
Ma Auditorium said without fear, you bully the old and the young, and wear a human skin in white!
I didn't expect Ma Auditorium to be so young and so chivalrous. While the onlookers praised, they accused the strong man, and a crowd of people pushed and rubbed, blowing the strong man away.
Ma Litang quickly lifted up the old man on the ground and wiped the blood stains from the corners of his mouth for him. As a result, Ma Auditorium was surprised by this look. It turned out that the old man turned out to be Li Zhankui, a martial arts master.
Li Zhankui's arm strength was superior, and his good sword technique was even more unknown in the martial forest. Because few people can beat him, he has the reputation of "single knife Li" and "iron knot Li". It was only li zhankui who traversed the rivers and lakes all his life, and in his old age, he was very tired of the mutual killing between the martial arts sects, so he retired to the rivers and lakes and lived by growing vegetables.
Although Li Zhankui retired, he was still sought out by the enemy family. After all, he was already old and weak, so he was chased and beaten by the enemy family.
Grateful for the chivalry of the Ma Auditorium, Li Zhankui immediately accepted him as an apprentice. One of them taught each other, the other studied and practiced diligently, so after a few years, Ma Auditorium had already fulfilled Li Zhankui's sword skills and skills.
After that, Ma Litang learned shape and meaning boxing and Bagua fist with his cousin Zhang Zhankui.
Zhang Zhankui was the most influential figure in Tianjin's martial arts community, but when he taught the Horse Auditorium, he was already old enough to be a flower armour. Therefore, after teaching for several years, in order to let Ma Auditorium get more detailed guidance, he recommended him to continue to learn Shape Andi Boxing under the famous Liu Weixiang. In addition, under the introduction of Zhang Zhankui, Ma Litang also learned Taijiquan and Push hand from Tai Chi Master Liu Caichen and Du Xinwu, the Great Hero of the North and South.
At that time, Ma Auditorium's circle of friends was all the top masters in the martial arts world. In addition, he was also a brother with Wang Ziping, Han Muxia and others, and had a deep friendship, often discussing the mysteries of martial arts in one place. In this way, his martial arts attainments are even more at the peak.
In those days, illiteracy was the majority after all. Many martial arts masters, although their martial arts are outstanding, but because they are illiterate, they can only pass on the key points of martial arts by word of mouth.
Ma Auditorium is an exception, he is not only superb in martial arts, but also read a lot, and is a rare all-rounder of literature and martial arts. And he was also admitted to the Physical Education Department of North China University in 1932, and was a college student.
At that time, the main hall of the Central State had been established in Nanjing. With the support of the government, Guoshu has set off a wave of martial arts training throughout the country, and various localities have also responded to the establishment of local Guoshu pavilions.
For this phenomenon, Ma Litang is very happy, he has always believed that to strengthen the country and the people, only the national art, after all, learning martial arts can not only strengthen the body, but also because the martial arts have a great advantage in martial arts, so they can defend the family and defend the country.
When the northeast fell, Ma Litang, who was not willing to be a slave to the country, resolutely supported the reform of national art of "strengthening the country and strengthening the breed". After several efforts, he organized and founded the "North China Martial Arts Research Association". With his efforts, guoshuguan invited the most luxurious lineup of martial arts teachers at that time, such as Sun Lutang, Shang Yunxiang, Liu Caichen, Xu Yusheng, Zhang Ce and other top martial artists in the martial arts world, all of whom came to serve as martial arts teachers. These martial arts teachers never perfunctory when teaching martial arts, and they are very strict in teaching art, so they have trained many martial arts masters there.
In addition to actively promoting martial arts, ma litang, which is outstanding in literature, also organized the "Yuyu Poetry Society" in the school, where he and a group of talents chanted poems.
After the Fengtian Incident, when Ma Litang heard about the fall of the three northeastern provinces, he was extremely indignant and wrote a patriotic poem. At that time, as soon as his "Collected Poems of Yu Yu" was published, it was sought after by college students. He also became a male god in the minds of many people because of his all-round talent in literature and martial arts.
After graduating from university, Ma Litang worked as a teacher at Jinan Provincial High School in Shandong Province. Because of his fame in the martial arts community, the local YMCA and the National Art Hall invited him to serve as a martial arts teacher. Therefore, he taught swordsmanship at the Youth Association, and taught the theory of shape and meaning and guoshu in the Guoshu Hall.
Although at that time, the Guoshuguan asked martial arts teachers to abandon the view of the portal and jointly promote Chinese martial arts. However, since ancient times, there has been a saying that "Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second", and those martial arts teachers have taken the Shi Chengmen Sect extremely seriously, so they not only often fight with each other, but also in teaching, they are very skilled.
Ma Litang was very worried about this phenomenon, and he wrote an article published in Qiushi Monthly, proposing that the concept of conservative teaching martial arts by the Shi Chengmen sect should be abandoned long ago. At the same time, he was also very disgusted with the ways that made martial arts mysterious and mysterious, or deliberately made martial arts mysterious and unpredictable in order to attract more disciples to learn martial arts.
In addition, Ma Auditorium is also firmly opposed to the useless flower racks of martial arts.
In Ma Litang's view, learning martial arts is to strengthen the body, in the technical attack, with what they have learned to defeat the opponent. Ma Litang's insights were recognized by most martial artists, so he exerted a great influence in martial arts.
In addition, Ma Auditorium is also committed to martial arts reform.
In 1935, Ma Litang organized the establishment of the "Health Experimental Society" and the "Technical Strike Experimental Society" in Jinan, and for a while, the martial arts masters in the northern and southern martial arts rushed to Jinan to discuss the reform of chinese art with Ma Litang and others. Soon hundreds of people joined the society, and the situation was extremely prosperous.
In fact, Ma Auditorium is not only committed to martial arts reform, he is also a patriot who refuses to give in.
As early as when he was a student at North China University, he was arrested and imprisoned for participating in Li Dazhao's funeral parade and being regarded as a suspected communist party member. Later, due to insufficient evidence, he was detained for 3 months before being released.
In 1936, Ma Litang was imprisoned again for editing the progressive journal Qiushi. Fortunately, since he was young, in addition to learning literature and martial arts, he has learned ancestral Chinese medicine with his clan. At that time, the chairman of the Shandong government, Han Fuyu, was ill and it was difficult to heal, so he asked Ma Litang to treat him. Ma Litang's clever hand rejuvenated and cured Han Fuyu's stubborn disease for many years. This made Han Fuyu very happy, plus they were all Fellows of Hebei, so with his help, Ma Litang was finally released.
Despite being imprisoned several times, this did not deter Ma Auditorium, but made him more determined to participate in the revolution. Subsequently, he threw himself into the War of Resistance, led a group of patriotic students, and cooperated with the Eighth Route Army to launch a series of anti-Japanese struggles.
In 1945, Ma Litang was unfortunately arrested by the Kuomintang military and imprisoned in Xi'an Special Prison.
After Japan announced its surrender, when the Kuomintang and the Communists negotiated in Chongqing, our Party put forward a demand to insist on releasing political prisoners, which was agreed by the Kuomintang. So Ma Auditorium was released again and went to Kaifeng, where he opened a Santa Maria hospital and practiced medicine.
Although he was closely monitored by Kuomintang agents, he tried his best to get in touch with our Party. It has always played an active role in the civil war and made many contributions to the liberation of the country.
After the founding of New China, due to the superb medical skills of Ma Litang, he was arranged to work in the Wanshou Mountain Gaogan Sanatorium. There was an endless stream of people who came to him for treatment, including not only state cadres, but also ordinary people. Ma Litang knows the hearts of the healer's parents, so he is conscientious to the patients, and there are countless people who have been cured by him.
In addition to practicing medicine, Ma Litang also combined Chinese medicine with martial arts and qigong into a complete set of Confucian "health maintenance skills". This set of health exercises has a good effect on the treatment of chronic diseases. Soon he set off a wave of enthusiasm for the whole people to learn Qigong, and in order to benefit more people, he has opened more than 70 Qigong classes across the country, with tens of thousands of students.
In 1989, at the age of 87, Ma Litang died of throat cancer. Although he has passed away, as a leading figure in the martial arts and Chinese medicine circles, he still has a profound impact on future generations.
There was an apprentice named Shang Ji in the Ma Auditorium. Shang Ji is a professor of physics at Xi'an Highway and Transportation University. When Ma Baoguo was studying at Xi'an Highway and Transportation University, according to him, he studied shape and intention boxing under Professor Shang Ji of the Department of Physics. In this way, Ma Baoguo is the disciple of Ma Auditorium.
As we said earlier, Ma Auditorium has been opposed to martial arts flower racks all his life, and he has a deep hatred for those who make flower racks. Unexpectedly, one of his apprentices came out of Ma Baoguo, who not only engaged in flower racks, but also a martial arts liar, and thus became a national Internet celebrity. I don't know how Ma Auditorium knows about it, how he will feel about it.
