"The jianghu is not fighting, killing, killing, and killing, the jianghu is human." This line of the TV series "Young Marshal" is really too classic, it can be said that the real situation of the so-called "jianghu", after all, in reality, there is no such high force value as in martial arts novels, only people who understand human feelings and sophistication can play around. But this person is sophisticated, and it is indispensable to spend money. In ancient times, many heroes who walked the rivers and lakes never went to work or worked, where did their money come from?
The earliest batch of great heroes in Chinese history should be called "scholars", that is, scholars in the Warring States period, and the LüShi Chunqiu Shangnong records: "It was the late Tianzi who personally led the princes to cultivate the emperor's land, and the masters and scholars all had meritorious deeds." Here "scholar" and "doctor" mean the same thing, and they are characterized by a mixture of intellectuals and bureaucrats.
In the early days, doctors all referred to people with certain official positions and titles, and their social status was higher than that of scholars. Rather, it refers mainly to intellectuals. With the rise of the bureaucracy, the university showed its skills. Some people who were born as scholars, relying on their own talents, have made steady progress. So the crown was before the Doctor.
During the Warring States period, Meng Yijun was known as a "keeper", he recruited guests from various princely states and people who had escaped from crime, most of whom walked on the rivers and lakes, just like the heroes in the rivers and lakes. And Meng Tianjun provided them with generous treatment, so these warriors all came to meng tianjun.
So what was the purpose of Meng Tianjun taking in these soldiers? It's about giving yourself ideas on something and then playing a role when it's critical. Meng Yijun later went into exile in other countries, and many times he faced dangers, it was these soldiers he raised to help him get out of danger.
Therefore, we can see that although these soldiers do not go to work, most of them have their own sects, and they are not completely "lonely", but they have more choices, and they can immediately change their homes if they are not satisfied here. But no matter which one you change to, you must have your own background.
After the Warring States, most of these warriors threw themselves into some dart boards, as well as the various gate sects on the rivers and lakes that practiced martial arts. In the dart bureau is very well understood, have seen the costume TV series should know that the so-called Baoju is a place dedicated to transporting goods for people, collecting money from people, protecting property for people and transporting property.
But it is difficult to walk on the rivers and lakes without knowing people, including darts. When you get to a place, you have to visit the docks of a place, and the chivalrous people who often walk on the rivers and lakes naturally know where people know, and with their introduction, at least this will not be sent to the wrong place.
And those who come out to walk the rivers and lakes will always have their own two brushes, and the dart bureau is naturally happy to take them in. Of course, in addition to entering the dart bureau, if you are good enough, you can also be like the ancient scholars, devote yourself to famous households, and the prospect of being a bodyguard around a big person is also quite impressive, such as the Bagua master Dong Haichuan once devoted himself to the Manchu Qing Palace.
Of course, the best thing is to open a sect and collect disciples, which is also the way most martial artists make a living, not everyone is willing to bow down to the giants. For example, the grandmaster ip man of that year, after leaving Foshan, specialized in teaching boxing for a living, and the international superstar Bruce Lee was once a disciple of Ip Man. As long as you have the real ability, you are naturally not afraid of not having money to spend. And those who have no ability and are not willing to do things in a down-to-earth manner are not called chivalrous, they should be called tramps.
