There is a very interesting phenomenon on the extranet, that is, many foreigners feel that every Chinese can do kung fu, and they are all strong in martial arts. Most of the impressions of foreigners on Chinese martial arts come from Bruce Lee's films, in fact, there are not as many people in our country who study martial arts in ancient times, but today's Chinese kung fu is not only a treasure of our Chinese culture, but also a culture that brings us national pride. As for how powerful it really is? That's a really hard question to answer.
The kung fu masters we see in many film and television dramas are omnipotent in flying cornices, and even some people can change shapes and shadows faster than guns. Because now many people who are filming TV will be a bit exaggerated, and some people who look very good at kung fu are a little suspicious. In fact, during the Qing Dynasty, there was really a person who could shoot more guns, which was confirmed by Zhang Zuolin, who was once a master of Ouchi, and his name was Gong Baotian.
Gong Baotian went to school when he was a child, but like many clichéd stories, a person who goes out to make a living is mostly because of poverty at home. When he was 13 years old, his family could not afford to study, so he went out to ask for hard work and help a rice shop deliver rice. For those who become big things, the opportunities encountered are very important, and the opportunity of Gong Baotian comes from this rice shop, because at that time, the rice of a royal palace was sent by this rice shop. It was precisely because of this opportunity that he had the opportunity to get acquainted with the master who was on an errand in the palace.
Originally, Dong Haichuan was going to take him as an apprentice, but because it was difficult to get out of the high position in the palace at that time, the disciple Yin Fu became the master of Gong Baotian. The Dong Haichuan mentioned here is the founder of the "Bagua Serial Palm" sung in the song. Through the introduction of these two, Gong Baotian also entered the palace as an errand boy, and at the same time followed the two masters to learn kung fu. During this time in the palace, he not only learned the palm technique of the main door, but also learned a lot of powerful kung fu, and most importantly, he practiced a light skill like lightning.
But at that time, Gong Baotian, no matter how good the martial arts were, was also a miscellaneous, a chance was discovered by Wang Ye, he made a light gong to send tea, the crowd was bustling and did not spill at all, so he recommended him into the palace and became a guard with a knife. It is said that when Cixi fled west that year, he escorted him, and later rewarded him with a yellow coat. But Gong Baotian, who had read the book, had his own ideas, and he thought that the Qing government no longer knew that he was effective, so he went back to his hometown to open a martial arts hall and teach people kung fu.
Later, when the Japanese Kou came to attack, Zhang Zuolin thought of letting Gong Baotian help him train his troops, and Gong Baotian also had a patriotic pride, so he went. On the training ground, Zhang Zuolin deliberately tested Gong Baotian, but he did not expect that he was faster than the speed of the gun, which surprised Zhang Zuolin. In the end, this ouchi master, who had been able to dodge the gun, died of illness at home, and the legendary life came to an end.
