Jin Yong's jianghu is very exciting, there are many attractive elements, and the hero's "growth history" is the biggest point of view.
Most "little whites" advance to become heroes, inseparable from the three basic conditions of talent, hard work, and chance.
With the improvement of the status of the jianghu, the heroes began to consciously achieve self-breakthrough, hoping to further develop their talents and contribute to the martial arts. For the development of talent, it is impossible to achieve it overnight, and those who reach that state have basically become "grandmaster-level" figures.
The late completion of the great instrument is the rationalized state of the "masters". Zhang Sanfeng in "Yitian Slaughtering Dragon" is the most representative character (perhaps not one).
Zhang Sanfeng
Zhang Sanfeng, when he was a teenager, was "expelled" from Shaolin, and without any reference materials, he spent a lot of time sorting out and summarizing the Jiuyang Zhenjing (incomplete version) taught by Jueyuan, and through self-study, he created the Taoist martial arts of "Zhen Gu Shuo Jin", which was legendary and inspiring enough!
He had to feel that he had been teaching for a long time, and he had already memorized five or six out of ten in this Nine Yang True Scriptures, and in more than ten years, his internal strength had advanced greatly... After pondering in the cave for seven days and seven nights, he suddenly penetrated, understood the supreme principle of Yi Rou Kegang in martial arts, and couldn't help but look up at the sky and smile... With his self-enlightened fist theory, the Taoist way of Chong Xuan Yuantong, and the internal gong xiang invention contained in the Nine Yang True Scriptures, he created a martial art that reflects future generations and shines through the ages!
Zhang Sanfeng, who founded Wudang, did not stop his own research, at the age of 70 began to recruit disciples, adhering to the concept of "teaching without class", according to the characteristics of the disciples, he created a number of "patented technologies" such as Tiyun Zhong, Wudang Mianpao, Tiger Tail Hand, Xuan Xuan Sword Method, Around Finger Soft Sword, Shenmen Thirteen Swords, Yitian Slaughtering Dragon Gong, etc., cultivating 7 high-quality students, who were praised by the jianghu as "Wudang Seven Heroes".
Wudang Seven Heroes
Zhang Sanfeng's innovation is not only in the "routine" of martial arts, but also in the fact that he provides new and reference ideas for future generations. In particular, the degree of mastery of Tai Chi Chuan and Tai Chi Sword Technique depends on whether the practitioner can "forget" the moves...
Zhang Sanfengdao: Do you remember them all? Zhang Wuji said: I have forgotten a little bit. Zhang Sanfeng said: Well, it is difficult for you. Think for yourself. Zhang Yuanji bowed his head and meditated. After a while, Zhang Sanfeng asked: What is going on now? Zhang Wuji said: I have forgotten more than half of it...
The wind Qingyang in "Smiling Proud of the Rivers and Lakes" cultivated the Lone Nine Swords, and only then put forward the view of "no tricks to win and there are moves", and Zhang Sanfeng taught Zhang Wujie, emphasizing the "no tricks", which was hundreds of years ahead, and the "concept" brought about by "concept" is actually a kind of thinking, the more future generations understand, the higher the realm is improved!
The wind is clear
Because Zhang Sanfeng devoted his life to the development and innovation of Taoist martial arts, and also had a lot of experience in the "Way of Health", he lived for more than 200 years before he died, according to the "Ming Shi Liechuan 187 Fang Trick", Zhang Sanfeng lived about 218 years old, while the "Ancient and Modern Taijiquan And The Origin of the Secret" believes that Zhang Sanfeng probably died in the second year of The Ming Dynasty Tianshun (1458), and his life expectancy was 212 years old!
Zhang Sanfeng, who lived a long life, left many classics before his death, not only containing his own unique outlook on life and world view, but also many martial arts truths worthy of reference, the most representative of which is the three sentences full of philosophy.
The first sentence is from "Water Stone Gossip": People must be able to idle immediately, but they are masters
"Be at ease immediately" – Zhang Sanfeng
The original meaning is that people must immediately settle down in order to become a master, this word "peace, leisure" seems to be superficial, but in fact it has a deep meaning, Zhang Sanfeng's subtext is to get rid of distractions, let the body and mind calm down, into a state of leisure, in order to cultivate martial arts without distractions.
The second sentence is also from the "Twelve Songs of the Sweeping Light Dao": Da Cong does not listen to the stringed piano, and he must read the Wordless Scripture
The meaning of this sentence is a realm higher than that of "peace and leisure", which means that the true ear cannot only listen to the stringed piano music, but the bright eyes must read the wordless scripture. The "Wordless True Scripture" depends on personal understanding and chance, and it can be seen from Zhang Sanfeng's own experience that enlightenment is indeed based on fate.
The third sentence is also from "Water stone gossip": when a person rests his body, walks in a normal position, and is at peace with the encounter, he is at peace of mind and diluted
Stone breaks the sky
When cultivators break through the first two realms, they should rest their bodies, act content with their current position, and act at ease with the situation, they will be at peace of mind, spirited and plain, the three sentences represent a three-fold different realm, unfortunately, the later generations of practitioners have not been able to understand the meaning, hundreds of years later, the illiterate Shi Shaotian can easily understand, becoming a new generation of "grandmasters" after Zhang Sanfeng.
If Zhang Sanfeng is "old and red", then Shi Shaotian is "young and ambitious", he has completed three advances in an extremely dangerous state, each time is incredible, but it is in line with Zhang Sanfeng's three "advices".
Xie Yanke, who had ulterior motives, deliberately disrupted the order, so that Shi Shaotian almost fell into the magic, and Shi Shaotian entered the selfless state of "immediate peace and tranquility", inadvertently practicing the "Yan Yan Gong" of "Yin and Yang Upside Down", accumulating a powerful internal force, and indeed as Zhang Sanfeng said, "it is a master".
Thank you for the smokers
When Shi Shaotian was practicing Luohan Voldemort Gong, in the absence of guidance, he could not be disturbed by the outside world, Da Cong did not listen to the stringed piano, read the Wordless Sutra, returned to the Yuan, and discarded all vulgar worries and distractions, the extremely difficulty coefficient of the ultimate martial art was actually inadvertently practiced by him, and shi Shaotian in ignorance, he did not realize that he had reached the ranks of first-class masters at this moment, laying a solid foundation for the Great Broken Hero Island.
As for the chivalrous island and laba porridge that make people smell discolored, in the eyes of Shi Baotian, it is just an unknown "wonderful trip". The reason for this is that he can be at ease with the encounter, so he will be peaceful in his heart, and his spirit will be rushed and plain, combined with the first point and the second point, he will understand the "Tadpole Text" without a teacher and understand the Tai Xuan Jing!
Immediately idle, read the wordless true scriptures, and be at ease with the encounter, is the advice left by Zhang Sanfeng to future generations, for hundreds of years, no one can penetrate the mysteries, and the seemingly "stupid" stone can easily understand, so his own realm is higher than those of the fly camp dogs, can become a "grandmaster", what is so strange?
