"The world's martial arts out of Shaolin", this sentence is not false. As the "first brother" in the Chinese martial arts system, Shaolin is not only the birthplace of Chinese kung fu, but also the ancestral court of Zen Buddhism in China. In terms of seniority, Shaolin should be the most popular of all the sects.
But is that really the case?
In contemporary martial arts novels, it is known as "The North Reveres Shaolin, the South Respects Wudang", but Shaolin will always give people a "dull wooden, pedantic, seemingly righteous and awe-inspiring, but in fact overcorrected" image, coupled with the Shaolin monks often live in the temple to practice Buddhism (ancient), not close to women, and the Wudang Sect Taoists allow intermarriage, no shaving, so relatively speaking, the character image and lifestyle of the Wudang Sect are closer to ordinary people, making the Wudang Sect more popular in the subtle.
Due to the preconceptions of novels, films and television, Shaolin in the game is also anti-high blood thick, clumsy action, but also has its own "straight male" attribute. Compared with the great monk, the white-clad and flowing Wudang Daochang, who is full of immortality, is more popular with the majority of fans.
Compared with the super popularity of the Wudang School, its history is not known to the public, and many people know that the founder of the Wudang School is Zhang Sanfeng through movies such as "Yitian Slaughtering Dragon" or "Taiji Zhang Sanfeng", but that's all.
The word "Wudang" first appeared in the Book of Han, meaning "non-true martial arts are not enough to deserve it", and it is said that the "True Wu Emperor" believed in Taoism was ascended to heaven in Wudang Mountain. From the end of the Han Dynasty to the present more than two thousand years, Wudang Mountain has been canonized by successive emperors many times and has become a Taoist Immortal Mountain.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Taoist priest Zhang Sanfeng founded the Wudang Sect in Wudang Mountain. As the sect of the Inner Family, the Martial Arts of the Wudang Sect emphasizes static braking, soft kegang, slow fighting fast, not attacking, but easy and inviolable, and Taijiquan, which spreads throughout the north and south of the river, is well versed in this way.
Wudang martial arts had a great influence on the martial arts culture of later generations, and the recognized Inner Family Fists such as Taijiquan, Bagua Palm, and Shape Yi Fist were all derived from the breeding and development of Wudang Inner Family Fist. It is precisely because of this that "Wudang" has always been a hot material for major writers.
For example, in Gu Long's "Seven Gate Sect" in wuxia novels and the "Nine Gate Sect" of Jin Yong's martial arts, Wudang and Shaolin, as the "Taishan Beidou" of the martial arts world, often represent the "decent" to preside over the overall situation of wulin.
After 2000, China's game industry ushered in a warm spring, and online games adapted from martial arts novels became a wave of enthusiasm. As a well-known and upright Wudang, he has naturally become a regular visitor in martial arts online games.
"Jin Yongqun Hero Biography OL"
"Jin Yongqun Hero Biography OL" is a 2D martial arts online game developed by China NetDragon, which was launched in 2001. Based on the novel, it can be said that it was the martial arts online game with the highest degree of freedom and the richest game content at that time. In the game, the protagonist may meet a master and obtain the world's martial arts by chance; it is also possible to encounter robbers halfway through, and the nose and face of the beaten nose are swollen.
The Wudang faction in "The Legend of Jin Yongqun HEROES OL" is decent, and the player must be a righteous man to get started and learn advanced martial arts. Wudang's martial arts internal skills are very free, for example, you can choose Wudang Xin Method, Pure Yang Wuji and other internal skills, with the Absolute Hand, thirteen swords and so on.
The characters and martial arts of Wudang in the novel have also been highly restored, such as Taijiquan, Taiji Sword, Yin Liuxia in a wheelchair, and so on. In the game, there are a hundred flowers, and coupled with the age of the game, the number of Wudang and Shaolin is basically the same.
The Nine Yin True Scriptures
"Nine Yin True Classic" is a 3D martial arts online game developed by Snail Company, and its original "virtual, real, frame" combat system, light power system, and adventure system have been rumored to be good stories in the industry.
Jiuyin's Wudang is jokingly called "covering the crotch" by players, and it can be said that the "soft ke gang, fast and slow" of the inner kung fu has been played to the extreme, a set of tai chi swords, a move "picking the tail", you can meat to no friends.
For a set of Taiji swords, Wudang's mountain gates were almost squeezed. The Qingfeng Sword with martial arts is even more a weapon of regiment warfare, and in many districts, Wudang has never lost in the gate faction battle!
Also practicing, Shaolin could not get married. Coupled with the short legs that are extremely easy to be kites, Shaolin and the Gang are known as the "difficult brothers and brothers" of Jiuyin, and the number of players is very small.
Sword Man Romance Online Edition
"Sword Man Love Online Edition" is a series of games produced and released by Xishanju Studio since 2003, including "Sword Man Love 1", "Sword Man World", "Sword Man Love 2" three martial arts online games, including Wudang School. However, because the game background of "Sword Man Love 3" is set in the Tang Dynasty, there is no Wudang school.
In addition to being loyal to the plot of the original work, the "Five Elements" and the branch system of the sect in the game are also a highlight. For example, the Wudang Sect in "Sword Man Love Affair 1" and "Sword Man World" has two branches: Sword Sect and Qi Sect. The Sword Sect attack was fierce, the momentum was like a rainbow, and the Qi Sect attack range was large and the formation was fast.
The Wudang of "Sword Man Love Affair 2" has two branches: secular and Taoist. Taoists are more difficult to operate but strong in attack, and laymen are slightly weaker in output but more flexible than flexible.
In the "Swordsman Love Online Edition", Wudang's attack is very high, coupled with flexible movement (handsome), so Wudang has a special number of players.
Shaolin is more miserable, because of the blood and thick hands, it can only be reduced to the "tool man" of the team battle. The popularity of monks is far less than that of Wudang, a phenomenon that becomes more and more common in the Eight Parts of the Heavenly Dragon.
Eight Parts of the Heavenly Dragon
In 2007, the 3D martial arts online game "Tianlong Babu" developed by Sohu Changyou pushed domestic games to the peak. The excellent plot coupled with the gameplay system of the set of dacheng, the original party's recognition of tianlong online games is very high.
The Wudang Sect in "Tianlong Babu" can be described in one word: Handsome! Handsome enough to have no friends! A move "Seven Stars Gathering" super range control, has been sought after by countless players. However, due to his weak body, Wudang has also been jokingly called by some players as "the most handsome to stand, the fastest to die".
And Shaolin has already been reduced to a sewer sect due to its low attack growth, and its sense of existence can be said to be weak enough to explode!
Through these martial arts online games that were once popular all over the country, we can see that the popularity of Dawudang in the game is quite high!
The popular Wudang Sect in the end game is just as popular in mobile games, such as the latest sect "Wudang Sect" that was recently launched in the "Tianlong Eight Glory Edition".
As the "most handsome" sect in the duanyou, the image and sword qi in the Wudang mobile game are simply the same as the duanyou.
Wudang belongs to the long-range internal power sect of the main ice attribute in the "Tianlong Eight Glory Edition", and the classic stunts in the Tianlong online game "With Ease" and "Seven Stars Gathering" will be reproduced.
In the later period of Wudang, it not only took into account the single explosion, group output and large-scale control effect, but also a solid copy all-rounder. A skilled Wudang can often improve the combat ability of the entire team!
Of course, Wudang's comprehensive performance led to his need for equipment and combat support. Therefore, Wudang is more suitable for novice players to build slowly as a large number, not suitable as a backup trumpet for old players.
Do you think Wudang and Shaolin are the most popular?
