Miyamoto Musashi is loved by a large number of players in the game, so why did a game character based on a famous Japanese samurai catch fire in China? Is it another kind of artificial elevation, or the hype of game companies? In fact, Miyamoto Musashi did not become famous in today's games, he is indeed a very famous swordsman in Japanese history, and he is very powerful. Today, Chen Sheng will tell you the story of Miyamoto Musashi.
There have been many famous swordsmen in Japanese history, especially in Japan's Sengoku period, whether it is shoguns, samurai raised by the lords of the daimyo, or ronin who have no concentration on surviving by force, all of whom have studied kendo and hope to become powerful samurai.
Some samurai were actual fighters and often engaged in dueling competitions against each other. Some samurai were theoreticians who were able to delve into the art of war, mislead, create their own sects, and grow and develop. However, there are very few samurai who can achieve both theoretical and practical strength.
Miyamoto Musashi is one of the most famous swordsmen in Japan, and later Japan respects him as a "sword saint", just as China has the Tang Dynasty Sanjie "Li Bai's poems, Zhang Xu's books, Pei Min's swords", Japan also has "Sanada's strength, Miyamoto's sword" said. It can be seen that Miyamoto Musashi is not only "fire" in China, but also has a great reputation in his own country.
So how strong is Miyamoto Musashi? According to Miyamoto Musashi himself, he began to practice martial arts at the age of thirteen, first defeating his powerful fellow samurai Maseibei, and then away from home, competing with famous swordsmen to gain fame.
From the age of thirteen to the prime of his twenties, Miyamoto Musashi fought more than 60 duels, but he was not defeated. One of the most famous is the "Decisive Battle at the Top of the Forbidden Purple" with the famous Jiro Sasaki on Yanliu Island, and it is said that Miyamoto Musashi defeated Sasaki Jiro in a legendary way, and has since gained fame.
Another famous battle was the battle of Ichijō-ji Temple, in which Miyamoto Musashi single-handedly defeated the entire Yoshioka-ryu sect, killing two leaders of the Yoshioka-ryu and slaughtering more than seventy people under the Ichijō-ji temple.
Miyamoto Musashi was not just a brave samurai, his strategy and tactics had been adapted to the use of the skills of the military way, but he was a superb warrior. Whether it was in the Battle of Yanliu Island with Jiro Sasaki or the decisive battle against Yoshioka-Ryūji Temple, he used the tactic of defeating the weak over the strong and outnumbering the enemy.
Therefore, in his middle and late years, he immersed himself in the study of the art of war kendo, founded the second-class first-class, and created the "Mirror of The Soldier's Path". However, he was not satisfied with his kendo and martial arts, and always thought that there were higher and more powerful sword skills that he had not realized. So he worked harder in his later years.
A person's achievements have a great relationship with their talents, but unremitting efforts are the biggest way to achieve success. Miyamoto Musashi used his extraordinary talent, took advantage of the accumulated rich practical combat experience, and after unremitting research, lived in seclusion in the Lingyan Cave and created the "Book of Five Wheels". A book containing five parts of earth, water, fire, wind, and air, and swordsmanship, which basically includes his lifelong understanding of kendo, is a sword art and a martial art, and is also a philosophical book.
