The white horse is decorated with gold and the northwest gallops. Borrow to ask whose son, Secluded Ranger. ——Cao Zhi, "The White Horse"
The Fang Shiyu we see in the TV series is a gentleman, a strong martial artist, punishing adultery and eliminating evil while also harvesting the hearts of a large number of young girls, which can be described as a young hero.
But the real history of Fang Shiyu is very different from him in the film and television drama, although he has a golden bell cover knife and gun, but has a fatal weakness, at the age of 24, he was kicked in the confrontation with the five shitai and died on the spot.
Let's take a look at the real Fang Shiyu in history.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="6" > family</h1>
Fang Shiyu was born in Zhaoqing during the Qianlong period, which was a chaotic world of strife. His father, Fang De, had a dual identity, ostensibly a local silk merchant, but secretly a Shaolin "master" who shouldered the heavy responsibility of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty.
Fang Shiyu also has two half-brothers, named Fang Xiaoyu and Fang Meiyu, both born to Fang De and his ex-wife, and both of them are closed disciples of the Shaolin Sect's Zen Master.
And Fang Shiyu's birth mother Miao Cuihua is not simple, she is the daughter of Miao Xian, the "Five Elders of Shaolin", who has been practicing Shaolin Kung Fu since childhood.
Fang Shiyu can be said to have been born in a martial arts family, so he has not had strict requirements from his mother since he was a child.
At the beginning of the full moon, Miao Cuihua used the ancestral secret recipe to give him a medicinal bath, and after soaking, he wrapped it in iron bars and bamboo pieces to help him forge strong bones and bones.
A little older, when his muscles and bones grew and his body began to grow, Miao Cuihua taught him to use ancestral techniques to boil his body and practice the skill of a sword and gun.
After this tempering, Fang Shiyu practiced into a golden bell cover, and it would not hurt no matter how he hit it.
But the cultivation of peerless divine skills also has a price, his body was forged into an iron barrel, at the same time his body shape also became an iron barrel, the side effects of the medicinal bath made him grow a face of numbness, and long-term high-intensity physical exercise, so that his intellectual development is not very mature, people look like an arrogant and a little dull.
The gentleman in the film and television drama is far from the actual Fang Shiyu, and the only thing in common is that he is strong in martial arts.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="17" > young fame</h1>
It was not enough to be trained by his mother at home, but also needed an orthodox master to teach him Shaolin martial arts, so Fang De sent him to the Shaolin Temple in Fujian to learn martial arts.
Later, due to the tendency of the Southern Shaolin to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, the Qianlong Emperor ordered the suppression, the Fujian Shaolin Temple was burned, and Fang Shiyu returned to Guangdong with his friends of the Shaolin Temple.
Although he changed places, Fang Shiyu's martial arts and temper did not change, and he went to the streets with his fox friends all day long, fighting and fighting in the streets at every turn.
Because they were all strong in martial arts and very fierce in fighting, people called them the "Ten Tigers of Shaolin" at that time, and Fang Shiyu ranked second.
During the chaotic period of the Qianlong dynasty, the Wulin sect was also divided into two factions under political influence, one was the Southern Shaolin faction, which claimed to be anti-Qing and restored to the Ming Dynasty, and the other was the Wudang faction, which supported the rule of the Qing court.
Fang Shiyu's family belongs to the Southern Shaolin faction, and Fang Shiyu's father, Fang De, often runs around through the silk business, secretly pulling parties and factions to pass on news.
Once, Fang De took Fang Shiyu south to Hangzhou, and was meeting Lei Laohu of the Wudang Sect setting up a ring in Hangzhou, and the couplets on both sides of the ring read, "Punch Guangdong Province, Kick Suzhou and Hangzhou Erzhou" clearly showed that no one was in sight.
Fang Shiyu, who was in a youthful mood, of course, wanted to go to the stage to meet the battle, and he won the Thunder Tiger with a golden bell cover and a strong martial art, but he accidentally killed the other party.
Causing the Wudang faction, which was already in a state of turmoil with Southern Shaolin, even more angry, Fang De hurried back to Guangzhou with Fang Shiyu and gathered with a group of Shaolin people to help Fang Shiyu discuss countermeasures, and finally they decided to face the battle.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="30" > the only flaw</h1>
Fang Shiyu and Hong Xiguan and others opened the ring in Guangzhou to openly accept apprentices to expand the southern Shaolin forces, while practicing martial arts diligently to cope with the counterattack of the Wudang faction.
Soon after, Lei Laohu's wife led the Wudang people to Guangdong to seek revenge, but the Shaolin faction was fully prepared, the Wudang faction was defeated, and even lost the power of the Xichan Temple, and the leader of the Wudang sect was furious and vowed to pay the Shaolin faction's blood debt.
Lei Laohu's father-in-law was a personal bodyguard of Chen Wenyao, a scholar of Wenyuange University in the Qing Dynasty, so Wudang colluded with the government, and a large number of Qing troops attacked the Shaolin faction on the pretext of calming the incident.
At the same time, the masters of the Wudang Sect also came to reinforcements, and Fang Shiyu confronted the five master masters.
Who are the Five Masters? She was tied with Fang Shiyu's grandfather as the "Five Elders of Shaolin", and later threw herself into the hostile camp due to political disagreement.
Wu Shitai was also a person of Fang Shiyu's grandfather level, and he knew shaolin's set of kung fu very well. She knew that the Golden Bell Hood, though powerful, would have an Achilles heel like Achilles' Heel.
The five masters tried for more than thirty rounds, and finally found Fang Shiyu's hood door in gu dao, which is what we usually call the anus. Taking advantage of Fang Shiyu's slackness, she unexpectedly flew up a foot in the middle of the cover door, Fang Shiyu was seriously injured and fell to the ground, and the five Shi Taisheng chased and made up for another kick, and Fang Shiyu died of exhaustion when he boarded.
The Shaolin faction suffered heavy casualties in this duel, and the "Ten Tigers of Shaolin" in addition to Fang Shiyu, Hu Huiqian, Tong Qianjin, etc. were also killed here, and there were few disciples left, and the Shaolin faction has been in a slump ever since.
It can be seen that in the chaotic world, people who cling to politics are rarely at peace, but if they are not dependent on a certain regime, how can they find a place to live? What do you think about that?
