Mr. Wang Wenyong, a master of Chinese wrestling, a well-known Chinese wrestling star in the Chinese sports arena in the 50s of the 20th century, a famous wrestling master, and a master of wrestling.

This sport is called Chinese-style wrestling, and it is one of the oldest sports in the mainland. According to legend, wrestling activities were held as early as 4,000 years ago in the Yellow Emperor's era, and after exchanges and long-term integration of various ethnic groups, the prototype of modern Chinese-style wrestling was gradually formed. This old man's name is Wang Wenyong, he was eighty-three years old at the time, he was the master of those young people, Wang Wenyong has devoted his life to the cause of Chinese wrestling, as early as the fifties and sixties of the last century, Wang Wenyong was the famous "wrestling king" in Beijing. In Wang Wenyong's impression, wrestling was still quite popular in Beijing in the first few years of liberation, and in 1953, Chinese-style wrestling was officially included in the national sports competition and began to hold national competitions. Every time a game is held, Beihai Stadium, Cultural Palace Stadium, and East Chang'an Avenue Stadium, this person can't buy tickets, and five or six thousand people can't buy tickets. In 1956, the National Sports Commission promulgated the "Chinese-style wrestling athlete rating system", and the next day promulgated the "Chinese-style wrestling rules", and since then, Chinese-style wrestling has a unified competition system. One game in three minutes, three rounds, one minute break in between, one minute break in three minutes, and another minute break in the second game, and I didn't say anything about three points, two points, one point, no. Wrestling, no matter how beautiful you are, is also a point, because it was not easy to win a championship at that time. There is a lot of wrestling in Beijing, especially in the lightweight division of my level, and the good ones are all in this level, and it was not easy to win a championship at that time. Wang Wenyong won the championship for the first time in 1957, and in the following years, he won consecutive battles and dominated the Beijing wrestling arena, but what is unexpected is that such a "winning general" did not even win an opponent when he participated in the Beijing wrestling competition for the first time. Because I was wrestling with my father behind my back, in Guanyuan Stadium, the first Beijing wrestling match, this was in 1956, at that time I didn't recognize the master, I thought I was amazing, full of energy, lifting weights myself, long-distance running, playing football, playing basketball, I don't know what to do, anyway, my body is strong. In 1956, Wang Wenyong was twenty-four years old, a big man of 1.8 meters, working as a guard in Beijing Instrument Factory, he began to learn wrestling at the age of 14, and also learned Baguazhang with his father, so he was full of confidence in this competition and Wang Wenyong. But as soon as the game began, the opponent immediately gave him a dismissal. I am like a fool, everyone wears long pants to wrestle, and I wear a pair of pants and red pants, so that people don't know what they fall for, and they don't know. After three rounds, Wang Wenyong was stunned, and the total score was lost 0-7, Wang Wenyong returned home dejectedly and mentioned to his father that he secretly went to participate in the game today, but he didn't expect his father not only did not comfort him, but became angry. Give yourself a big mouth, who let you go, you don't practice kung fu, you went there to wrestle, and then you were beaten, you were beaten and humiliated, wrestling was different from now, that lost a wrestling, cold, couldn't sleep, I found a temporary teacher, surnamed Liu, called Liu Yun, to give us guidance, set up this wrestling team, more than 20 people in our factory, I am the leader. After a period of practice, Wang Wenyong gradually emerged in the Beijing wrestling circle, which also attracted the attention of the wrestling master Jin Baosheng, Jin Baosheng was the most well-known wrestling master in Beijing at that time, Wang Wenyong's residence was very close to his home, often went to ask wrestling skills, Jin Baosheng believed, Wang Wenyong is a good material for wrestling, the two hit it off, in 1957, Wang Wenyong officially worshiped Jin Baosheng as a teacher. After five o'clock every night, my master rode the bicycle from Dongzhimen to Langjiayuan, two taels of wine, two cents of flowering beans, they sat in the communication room, watching themselves practice, they still had to carry a gun, on duty, a look at this snow, and said to himself, Master is still practicing in the snow today, then you have to practice, kicking. My factory is deep, the end of the road is 350 meters, holding the waist, kicking the legs, 350 meters, kicking over and kicking back, the sweat said.

During the years when Wang Wenyong studied with his master Jin Baosheng, the master would often tell him about the history of this wrestling method, and in old Beijing, Wang Wenyong's wrestling was called wrestling, also called Beijing wrestling, and it was one of the four major schools of Chinese wrestling. Mongolia is a faction, Baoding is a faction, Shanxi is a faction, Beijing and Tianjin are a faction, because Tianjin wrestling is passed by our Beijing, I say the four major factions, Shanxi pays attention to wiping loaches, not wearing a coat, Mongolia is to convince people, Baoding has fast wrestling, Beijing is kung fu wrestling, is the royal system. The technique of wrestling originated from the traditional Manchu movement between the white mountains and black waters, and was later brought into the court after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, which had to start from the Kangxi period. After Emperor Kangxi succeeded to the throne, the minister Ao Bai bullied Kangxi young, controlled the government and did wrong, so the young Kangxi selected some strong young people outside the palace and practiced wrestling every day. The Qing Dynasty is good at fighting the east and west camps, the west camp is in the small Huguo Temple, the east camp is in the big Buddha temple behind our art museum, the Qing Dynasty is divided into levels, it is the professional team, the west camp and the east camp are the twenty-third of the lunar month of the year, the emperor is watching there, and there are ministers from various countries, foreign strongmen, to China to pay tribute, some people are strong men, just like the current bodyguards, what is the strong men, foreigners. Our Chinese wrestling, first-class cloth, second-class cloth, third-class cloth. Jin Baosheng told Wang Wenyong that "Buku" in Manchu not only refers to this form of sports, but also refers to wrestlers engaged in this kind of sports. In the Qing Dynasty, in addition to defending the court, the buku also had to perform wrestling in front of the emperor, and the buku were divided into different levels according to the level of wrestling, and the highest level was the first-class buku. The first-class Buku is equal to the fourth-class guard with a knife, the first-class Buku takes 10,000, the second-class Buku takes 5,000, the third-class Buku takes 2,000, and the next is that the sparring team member is called Axin Mi, who is a reserve member, who eats and drinks, and gives the two of them change. The higher the level of the buku who practiced wrestling, the higher the level of the buku, so that under the competition between the buku, the wrestling skills developed to the extreme in the Qing Dynasty. Everyone wants to be first-class, so what to do with first-class, you have to be You are a first-class Buku what will you make, I have to find a way to win you, second-class and this two people on the other, I want to go into the first class I have to drop you, there is such a time every year, the book also says it, this is called a grade, waiting, the palace, the golden palace, why just now I said the word, the golden palace, the wrestling, this technique came about.

Wang Wenyong is the ninth apprentice of Jin Baosheng, when the master accepted thirteen apprentices, and later they were called the "Thirteen Taibao" in the wrestling altar, and the wrestling skills of the senior brothers were the strongest. At that time, my senior brother threw himself to death, and my master didn't help him, and my father didn't help him, and then my master said to my father, "You take him to practice for a year, and find his senior brother." In this year, Wang Wenyong learned wrestling skills with his master, and he endured hardships, whether it was three or nine days, or dog days, Wang Wenyong had to grit his teeth and insist, what impressed him was that the master asked him to go to the yard at four o'clock in the morning every day to practice untying a kind of rope buckle braided by the master. Garlic pimples, after weaving and throwing into the bucket, three or nine days, at that time took it out and threw it on the windowsill, this is done kicking, making cold water bath, the big tank, making cold water bath, next to a tank attached to the No. 2 tank, the mouth of the tank is so big, turn the tank to go, walk, practice the big tank, the big tank to practice the use of free, put the sand in it, or go like this. Later, Wang Wenyong understood the master's intentions, untying the rope buckle is to exercise the strength and dexterity of his fingers, and the cylinder is to integrate the kung fu of Taijiquan into the techniques of wrestling.

Wang Wenyong said that the biggest difference between old Beijing wrestling and other schools of Chinese wrestling is that it incorporates many of the best of traditional Chinese martial arts. Whether it's boxing, all kinds of martial arts, it's all this distance, right, isn't it this distance, what to do if the two of them hug together, hugging together is called wrestling, one by one, pop, the other party's reaction is to retreat, this is not the goal, pop, when you leave, I will drop you again, you leave backwards is your advance, this is the essence of martial arts.

Later in the competition, Wang Wenyong's wrestling techniques, more and more skilled and flexible, many of the skills taught by the master also came in handy, the second year of apprenticeship, Wang Wenyong won the championship of the Beijing wrestling competition, Wang Wenyong clearly remembers, the third day of the Lunar New Year that year, but also a year after the appointment with the senior brother, the two competed again. He was tall and looked like a Mongol, and we both put it on, and he went to put it on himself, and he flew a whip horse and slapped him on the waist, and then his head was stuck in the wall, and everyone lifted him out of the wall, and I turned over, and he took off his coat and told me that I should pay you back the account, and I should pay you back the wrestling account, and we will not wrestle here.

Just after Wang Wenyong won the championship of Chinese wrestling in Beijing four times, in June 1961, in order to implement the central government's eight-character policy of "adjustment, consolidation, enrichment, and improvement", the State Sports Commission began to reduce the number of athletes, and the Chinese wrestling team encountered the dilemma of being withdrawn. Wrestling will not move, the district party committee to find themselves, said that we have three years of natural disasters, temporarily stopped this wrestling, in 1962, wrestling resumed, Chaoyang District Sports Committee Director Zhou looked for himself, we still have six months, Beijing is going to hold a selection competition, we Chaoyang District this total score, the championship has to be taken back, you have to participate in the competition. Although Wang's physical and competitive condition is not as good as before, the nearly 30-year-old wrestling veteran has decided to compete again.
