While serving his sentence, he realized a set of unique martial arts, was exempted from the death penalty, and successfully applied for a national treasure
In ancient times, people often used "body like a mast foot like a boat, stretching like a whip, facing the enemy like swimming fish in the water, shooting like a bullet ash throwing hammer" to describe the martial arts masters who were skilled, and these adjectives, but there is no exaggeration, according to the record, in modern China, there are countless famous masters, such as Dong Haichuan, Sun Lutang, Ip Man and others, are master-level figures.
But there is another person, more legendary, he is Guo Yunshen, in 1820 AD, he was born in a small village in Hebei Province, when he was young because of his poor family, he went around to visit famous teachers, wanted to learn a craft, initially, he was famous for his English eight pole boxing master Mr. Sun Tingli, he went to Yizhou Xiling to learn art, after Mr. Sun this hard practice for several years, after learning, Sun Tingli saw that he had good qualifications, and suggested that he go to Shanxi Li Laoneng to learn shape and meaning boxing.
Guo Yunshen of course did not mind, and then went to Shanxi Taigu, and after explaining his intentions with Mr. Li Laoneng, he brushed up on his own housekeeping skills, And Elder Li saw that he did have some talent, so he accepted him as a disciple, because Elder Li did not open a martial arts hall like other masters, but lived a simple daily life, growing vegetables by himself, self-sufficient, Guo Yunshen to Li Lao,After this, he did not abandon it, as long as there was food to eat, in addition to practicing, basically the work in Li Lao's home was taken care of by him, which made Elder Li more fond of him.
Learning art for more than ten years, Guo Yunshen has trained a good skill, in addition, Guo Yunshen also has a pair of chivalrous and righteous enthusiasm, often in the town to eliminate evil and promote good, over time, the reputation will be played out, but there are also people who see that he is too young, unconvinced, at that time there was a woodcutter called "ghost gossip" in Hebei, he saw Guo Yunshen all day to show off his boxing skills, so one day, he directly went to the door to challenge, this ghost gossip named Jiao Luofu, also has a skill.
But the two fought only a few moves, Jiao Luofu was knocked to the ground, this time, he was more unconvinced, but also knew that his skills were not as good as people at this time, so he thought of going home first to practice his skills again, three years later, Jiao Luofu found Guo Yunshen again, asked for a try, Guo Yunshen knew that he had been practicing kung fu hard for several years, and did not care, agreed to it, but this time he still lost, Guo Yunshen punched quickly, and would borrow cleverness, every time Jiao Luofu fought with him, he would always be knocked down and take a few steps back.
Both times were easily defeated by Guo Yunshen, Jiao Luofu became more and more unconvinced, so he thought of a crooked move, tied a sharp blade to his arm, and then deeply fought with Guo Yun, this time Jiao Luofu specially fought upwards, intending to dissolve Guo Yunshen's collapse fist, ready to take advantage of his lack of attention, use the blade to break his arm, but did not expect to be discovered by Guo Yunshen first, a move to dissolve his upward strength, at this point, Jiao Luofu was completely convinced.
In 1874, Guo Yunshen went out to play, and as a result, a bully was bullying the people, Guo Yunshen couldn't see it, so he taught him a lesson, and he didn't expect to be too heavy, others beat him to death, this time it was a big fuss, and after a while, the official clothes came to take him away, Guo Yunshen knew that the disaster of prison was impossible to run, maybe he would pay for one life, but he didn't think he was wrong.
So when he was in prison, he still practiced his own boxing, according to the regulations, the prisoners who were arrested by the official uniforms had to wear shackles on their heads and handcuffs on their feet, so that if they practiced, there must be a lot of inconvenience, but he was different, in this case, he also created a set of absolute learning, half-step collapse fist, it was this set of boxing techniques that allowed him to escape the disaster, at that time it was the time when the Qing Dynasty needed talents, and the officials who arrested him saw that he was strong in martial arts, and decided to exempt him from the death penalty.
In this way, Guo Yunshen continued to practice boxing in prison, but soon came another turning point, in December of the same year, the Tongzhi Emperor died, Cixi after selection, set up the Prince of Alcohol's palace as the new emperor, and the new emperor ascended to the throne, in order to show mercy and kindness, will order a general amnesty for the world, at this time, all the prisoners who were imprisoned in prison were almost free, Guo Yunshen was also among them.
After coming out, Guo Yunshen founded a school, widely collected disciples, including many well-known big figures, such as Li Kuiyuan, Sun Lutang, Li Hanzhang and others, in his later years, Guo Yunshen also left a book based on what he had learned in his life, "The Classic of Being Able to Speak shape and Meaning", which described in detail the study of half-step collapse boxing, in 1900, Guo Yunshen died at the age of 70, after his death, his disciples still carried forward his martial arts, in the same year, the disciple Geng Jishan established the "Beijing Four People Martial Arts Research Society", 1928, Li Cunyi and his disciples founded the "Beiping Daxing First National Art Museum".
Now that so many years have passed, martial arts is still the traditional culture of our country, and Mr. Guo Yunshen's half-step collapse fist has also successfully applied for the heritage of our country, and its essence lies in the three levels of truth: one practice refining qi, two practicing qi to transform the gods, and three practicing the gods to be vain. The three-step kung fu is: one easy bone, two easy tendons, three easy marrow. The three kinds of training methods are: bright strength, dark strength, and chemical strength, which is no wonder that Mr. Guo's martial arts attainment is so high, it is really difficult to get through this, and Mr. Guo's reputation as a martial arts master is also worthy of the name.
