Song Zide is a native of Zhao Gezhuang, Laiyang, Shandong, born in 1855, he is a member of the Wang clan, and his family is quite well-off.
The land of Qilu was originally a fierce folk custom, and the martial arts practice was very strong, and Song Zide had heard about it from an early age and had an extremely fanatical interest in swords, guns, fists and swords.
When he was a teenager, Song Zi Debai local boxers successively learned long fist and monkey fist. In the process of learning art, Song Zide was very hardworking, and he often practiced his skills, day and night. After practicing so hard for several years, I finally learned the essence of long fist and monkey fist. And he is also famous in the local area because of his superb boxing skills and many easy victories with others.
At first, Song Zide set up a museum in Laiyang to teach apprentices. He has long heard of Liang Xuexiang's plum blossom mantis fist being the first in the world, so he admires it very much and wants to worship him as a teacher.
However, in that era, the martial arts of the Gate Sect were very conservative, and it was difficult for someone like Song Zide, who already knew martial arts, to learn art from another master, and it was difficult to be accepted as an apprentice. However, he could not learn the Plum Blossom Mantis Fist, and Song Zide could not sleep at night. Thinking about it, Song Zide simply funded his uncle and brother Jiang Hualong to go to Liang Xuexiang as a teacher and learn plum blossom mantis fist.
Liang Xuexiang saw that Jiang Hualong was "less than five feet tall, and he was fat, and he was incompetent", so he was reluctant to accept him as an apprentice. But I heard that Jiang Hualong had learned a little fist and foot when he was a child, so he asked him to show it. Unexpectedly, he was as dexterous as a monkey when he was competing. After Liang Xuexiang saw it, he changed his opinion of him and agreed to accept him as an apprentice.
Liang Xuexiang studied hard for several years, and after Yicheng returned to Laiyang, he taught all the mantis fists he had learned to Song Zide. Song Zide has learned to write, and his understanding of practicing kung fu is stronger than that of ordinary people, plus he has a foundation in martial arts, so he is more reasonable and methodical in practicing mantis fist, and the routine is very clear.
Song Zide not only studied hard, he also liked to study martial arts. When he learned mantis boxing, he also befriended Li Danbo, a descendant of Luohan Boxing, so he and Jiang Hualong often discussed the mysteries of martial arts with Li Danbo, and often practiced martial arts, because in martial arts, the three never took the skills for personal gain, and they were like brothers and sisters, so they also became brothers.
Jiang Hualong lived with Song Zide for 8 years, and he did not quit until Song Zide was full of art.
In order to pursue martial arts attainments, Song Zide traveled several times, visited martial arts masters, and competed many times, never encountering an opponent.
After more than ten years of hard training, Song Zide's mantis fist is even more pure. Based on Mantis Fist, Song Zide gathered the strengths of hundreds of families to sort out and improve the fist score and boxing skills of Mantis Fist, making Mantis Fist a more systematic fist and better in techniques.
Song Zide was not only very accomplished in mantis boxing, but he was also proficient in all the routines and instruments of the mantis gate, internal and dark weapons, and hard qigong. He had been invited to perform strong qigong many times, only to see that he was first angry dantian, and then secretly lucky, and in an instant, his body swelled up. At this time, no matter who it was, hitting him hard with a stick not only could not hurt him, but the stick was rebounded, and the person who hit him was shocked.
Once, Song Zide was so excited that he let a mule be brought in, and then he steadily stepped down from his horse, and let the grumpy mule raise its hooves with iron palms to kick him wildly, often the donkey's hooves were injured, but he was as steady as a rock, without a trace of scars on his body, and the spectators who were present for a while were all horrified.
Walking in the rivers and lakes, it is inevitable to recruit people to plot, Song Zide with superb martial arts, always turn danger into disaster. Once, Song Zide went to visit a friend in a foreign country, and as a result, the owner of a martial arts museum challenged him with a war book in order to make a name for himself.
In fact, the owner of the museum had long heard that he was strong in martial arts, and knew that it was difficult for him to have a chance of winning, so he was very timid in his heart. But to come out of the mix, if you want to mix beautifully, you still have to be famous. The owner of the museum knows that once he wins the battle against Song Zide, he will be famous all over the world. Therefore, when Song Zide came to the martial arts hall to compete, he planned to win by conspiracy and trickery.
At first, the owner of the museum also met With Song Zide, very enthusiastic, the two of them drank tea and sat and talked, and the owner of the museum asked Song Zide for a lot of experience and experience in practicing. When entering the martial arts hall competition, the owner of the museum let Song Zide go first.
Song Zide was frank and didn't think much about it, but he still felt strange when he looked around the martial arts hall.
Originally, there were various weapons displayed in ordinary martial arts halls, but this martial arts hall had many bamboo baskets that were more than one person tall.
Just when Song Zide was wondering, the owner of the museum suddenly grabbed a bamboo basket and buckled it on Song Zide's head. At the same time as he was holding Song Zide in the bamboo basket, his disciples suddenly gathered around and hugged the bamboo basket. The owner of the museum took out a nine-section whip from his waist and whipped at Song Zide's ankle.
Then a "click" was heard. Everyone thought that Song Zide's leg bone was broken, and thought that Song Zide would be abolished. The owner of the museum also lifted the bamboo basket to see Song Zide's wretchedness. Unexpectedly, the bamboo basket was only half lifted, and Song Zide suddenly punched out, beating the curator out of the sky, and could not get up for half a day.
It turned out that although Song Zide could not see the situation outside in the basket, he heard the sound of the owner of the pavilion unraveling the nine-section whip, so he immediately lucked and transported the qi to his legs and feet to prevent the owner from sneaking attack, and he also took the whip hard. The sound actually broke the curator's whip.
When the disciples saw that the master had been beaten, they all took up their weapons and rushed forward, preparing to fight with Song Zide. The curator knew very well that he couldn't do anything with Song Zide, and even if the disciples attacked in groups, they would only be beaten in vain, so he stopped the disciples.
Although Song Zide said that he had a hard whip and did not hurt his leg bones, the skin and flesh were opened by the whip. Besides, he was on someone else's turf, and staying any longer was unpredictable, so he also hurriedly resigned. From then on, when he competed with people, he was a little more cautious, and things like this never happened.
After Song Zide became famous, in order to carry forward the mantis fist, he successively opened boxing gyms in Laiyang and Yantai, took in many apprentices, and trained many outstanding martial arts talents. For example, Cui Shoushan, Wang Yushan and Li Kunshan of the "Three Mountains of Laiyang", as well as the "Two Pavilions" Song Futing and Zhao Xiting, these are his proud disciples.
In 1933, the Fifth National Games were held in Nanjing, and guoshu was listed as a competition item for the first time, and the "Three Mountains of Laiyang" met to register, and the three of them competed fiercely. Cui Shoushan won the first place in the routine with a set of mantis fists, Li Kunshan won the first place in the big gun with a big gun and his exquisite skills, and Wang Yushan also achieved very good results in the competition. At that time, the achievements of these three people once caused the audience to be amazed, but in addition to being amazed, everyone was more and more sure of Song Zide's superb martial arts.
After Song Zide's apprentices became artists, most of them returned to their hometowns to become boxers. On this day, Song Zide and Jiang Hualong went to the Kwantung disciples' boxing gym to check the results. After hearing about it, the martial arts community in the Kanto area came to visit these two mantis boxing masters and received them warmly.
The news soon reached the ears of Zhang Zuolin, the king of the Northeast. Zhang Zuolin was already recruiting martial arts masters everywhere to train Fengjun's technical ability, so he invited Song Zide and Jiang Hualong to be martial arts instructors, specifically teaching Fengjun martial arts to improve their actual combat ability.
Song Zide and Jiang Hualong had long heard that although Zhang Zuolin was born as a bandit, he had the spirit of a hero, so he was also happy. After a period of hard work, the two cultivated many excellent martial arts elites in the military. After Zhang Zuolin inspected it, he was very satisfied, and treated Song Zide and Jiang Hualong with courtesy.
On this day, Zhang Zuolin came to the army again to watch Fengjun learn martial arts, and a group of martial artists naturally accompanied him. Zhang Zuolin simply let Song Zide and Jiang Hualong sit close to him. Just when the martial artists were envious, Zhang Zuolin suddenly drew his gun and pointed at Jiang Hualong and asked, saying that your fist is fast. So is your punch fast, or my gun fast?
Jiang Hualong didn't have time to think about it, so he smiled and replied that no matter how fast the fist was, it was not as fast as the gun.
Zhang Zuolin was very proud, so he aimed his gun at Song Zide again and threw the same question to him. Who knew that Zhang Zuolin's voice had not fallen, and his pistol had been snatched by Song Zide with lightning speed. Subsequently, Song Zide returned the pistol to Zhang Zuolin and replied that the gun was too fast to be careless. Although the eighteen martial arts could not be faster than the gun, if it was close, it was not easy to say.
Zhang Zuolin laughed loudly, and even said that Song Zi was both literate and martial, and agreed to set up a banquet for him and Jiang Hualong at night to reward their contributions to the army.
However, at this dinner, Song Zide and Jiang Hualong did not go to the appointment. It turned out that after Zhang Zuolin left, Song Zide found Jiang Hualong and asked him to leave with him. Jiang Hualong was puzzled, he thought that Zhang Zuolin did not treat them thinly, and there was no need to leave. But Song Zide said that he could hold a gun to our head, and maybe one day he would kill us. Jiang Hualong also felt that it made sense, so the two of them hurried away.
Song Zide is not only noble in martial arts and excellent in martial arts, but in life, he is also a person who is willing to be charitable and charitable.
Song Zide was born into a noble family and came from a well-to-do family. Later, he married the daughter of Mu Erhei, the richest man in Jiaodong, plus he knew how to operate, so it didn't take long for him to sit on a million and become the richest man in Laiyang.
Song Zide was not stingy about money, he often relieved the crisis and helped the poor, not only for the martial friends who were in distress, but also for the people who were trapped, he was also willing to be charitable.
One year, Yantai suffered from natural disasters, the grain was not harvested, the people could not eat, almost starved to death. Song Zide immediately ordered people to set up a cauldron at the mouth of the village and boil porridge to help the people. After the news spread, refugees from all over the world rushed in, and everyone's gratitude to Song Zide was needless to say. Because he was the second oldest in the family, everyone affectionately called him "Second Master Song".
On this day, there was a teenager who cried a lot near Zhao Gezhuang. People rushed forward to inquire, only to learn that the teenager was from Jinan, and a few little hooligans said that he had been going all the way to the east, and it was a fairyland, not only with many delicacies, but also with a lot of fun. He believed it to be true, and when he followed a few small hooligans all the way to the area of Zhao Gezhuang, the little hooligan snatched his money and then scattered. He wandered for several days, and because he could not find his way home, he was hungry and afraid, so he began to cry.
Everyone saw that the teenager was crying pitifully, so they led the teenager to find Song Zide and told the story again. The teenager also fell to his knees and wept unceasingly. Song Zide lifted up the teenager, and after carefully inquiring, he comforted him and said, Don't worry, I will definitely help you.
Subsequently, he took the teenager home to freshen up, change into clean clothes, and send someone to send him all the way back to Jinan. When he was about to say goodbye, the teenager choked up and bowed, and said to Song Zide that in the future, he would repay Xu for saving his life. After saying that he gave Song Zide three kowtows in a row, this was the farewell. Who took what the child said seriously, so Song Zhide just casually responded and went to check the situation of the porridge shed again.
It was another ten years. In this year, a tenant who rented song zide's field took the meritorious name and became a local official. The tenant family, who served their son as an official, not only refused to pay the land rent, but also occupied the more than ten acres of land they rented for themselves. Originally, the matter was clear at a glance, but the other party bribed the prefect of Dengzhou, and the prefect of Dengzhou suppressed it, and Laiyang County ya forcibly awarded the land to the other party.
Song Zide was a man of rigidity, and he could tolerate this black-and-white upside-down thing, so he went to Jinan to file a complaint. However, although he was highly skilled in martial arts, he did not know how to have a relationship with Yamen, so he stayed in Jinan for several days and spent countless money, but he could not even see the face of the inspector.
Just when Song Zide was hopeless, suddenly a young man dressed in brocade shouted at him. It turned out that the other party was the lost teenager many years ago. The young man invited Song Zide to a liquor store and asked Song Zide what he was doing in Jinan. Song Zide drank a few glasses of wine, and then he spat out the depression in his heart. The young man laughed and said that the matter was wrapped up in him.
In the days that followed, the young people did their best to be landlords, but just took Song Zide on a sightseeing tour and stopped mentioning Song Zide's affairs. Song Zide also believes that young people just casually admit it, and it is not good to ask again.
A few days later, Song Zide saw that there was no hope, so he resigned. When he returned to Zhao Gezhuang, he saw that his family couldn't help but greet him, and praised him for his ability to do things. It turned out that before Song Zide returned, the inspector had inquired about this matter, so the land was returned to the original owner, and the rent could not be paid less than one point.
Later, Song Zide learned that the teenager's mother was the nurse of the patrol family, and the teenager was also loved by the inspector and was adopted as a righteous son. Therefore, after the teenager and his mother mentioned Song Zide's affairs to the inspector, the inspector ordered someone to find the prefect of Dengzhou, and the prefect of Dengzhou saw the inspector and asked about it. I didn't dare to slacken off, so the problem was quickly solved.
After Song Zide learned the truth of the matter, he was full of emotions, and since then, he has done more good deeds. And he also became a highly prestigious figure in Yantai because of his virtue and art.
