In 1904, Wudang Taoist Zhou Ju was invited to Qiyang County, Hunan, and set up a museum in Xiucai Zhou Luqing's house to receive apprentices to teach Wudang martial arts, etc., and one of the apprentices was Zhou Yongnan, Zhou Luqing's daughter. In 1938, 38-year-old Zhou Yongnan was admitted to the Whampoa Military Academy with his son Huang Tian. After graduation, Zhou Yongnan's mother and son fought against the Japanese invaders in the Ninth and Sixth War Zones respectively, and were known as the heroes of the mother and son who joined the army to resist the war and defend the country.
1. The Taoist priest who admires literature and martial arts
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was a talented man named Zhou Luqing in Qiyang County, Hunan Province, who had a rich family fortune, extensive fields, and liked to travel. In the spring of the thirtieth year of Guangxu (1904), Zhou Luqing went to Hankou to worship Xuantian God with his friends. In Wudang Mountain, they met a Taoist priest with extraordinary bearing, Zhou Luqing asked him about the immortal way, and the Taoist priest did not answer positively, but read out a poem:
This body was originally a Wudang immortal, and the depreciation of the dust does not count the years.
The gold-roofed smoke should know me, and Yunfeng 72 has a leading edge.
Zhou Luqing was surprised and surprised. Then he was invited to drink and talk, and he knew that his surname was Zhou, the road number Yundao people, and the layman was in the Sanguan Hall of Junzhou. During the conversation, Zhou Luqing was amazed by his erudition and extraordinary conversation, and he had a sense of hating to see each other. Although Lu Qing was a talent in the world, he preferred martial arts. When he asked Zhou Ju about the method of practicing martial arts, Zhou Ju talked eloquently and unfathomably. After hearing this, he admired the five-body throw, so he became a confidant and invited Zhou Ju to travel to Xiaoxiang.
In the autumn of 1904, Zhou Ju came to Qiyang County, Hunan Province and lived in Zhou Luqing's house. Zhou Luqing has a total of seven sons and one daughter, this daughter is Zhou Yongnan, who was only 4 years old at the time and was very favored by her parents. In the second year, Zhou Luqing asked Zhou Ju to teach his seven sons to practice Wudang martial arts. Zhou Ju was so enthusiastic that he had to agree to set up a museum to teach apprentices. 5-year-old Zhou Yongnan also wanted to learn martial arts with his brothers, but her father couldn't help her, so he had to sue Zhou Ju. Zhou Ju looked at her for a long time and said that she had good qualifications and could try to learn. Zhou Yongnan jumped up happily, and immediately kowtowed to Zhou Ju in front of his parents, calling him Master, and became Zhou Ju's female disciple.

At first, Zhou Ju set up a museum in Zhou Luqing's house to teach martial arts. Later, he was suspicious of many people, and he was afraid that the Zhou family's beloved daughter would give up halfway, so he proposed to find another venue. Zhou Luqing set up a museum for him in Shanchong ----, which is two miles away from home. After the establishment of the new museum, in addition to the seven sons of the Zhou family, the children of Zhou Luqing's friends were also recruited to participate, but only Zhou Yongnan was the only woman.
The Taoist priest stipulates that every single day to learn literature, every double day to learn martial arts, both civil and military. When learning literature, apprentices are allowed to go home to get money and goods, and parents are also allowed to visit their children; When practicing martial arts, apprentices are not allowed to go home, and no one is allowed to peep at them, and they are closed to customers. Especially before dawn every day, you must not miss class. In teaching and life, Zhou Ju loves Zhou Yongnan very much and treats her as his daughter. At night she was asked to sleep on her own feet and was not allowed to go home and stay. During the day, they train carefully and are strict. Zhou Yongnan is talented and intelligent, and she studies hard, whether it is cultural knowledge or martial arts skills, she always learns it as soon as she learns, and after a year, her knowledge and kung fu surpass all her senior brothers.
Zhou Luqing has a friend named Huang Zhen, who is a famous scholar in the literary circle of southern Hunan, a famous calligrapher and writer. The two of them were showmen in the same year, Huang Zhen was the head of the case, and Zhou Luqing was the fourth. The Huang Zhou family has long been married, and Zhou Yongnan is the prospective daughter-in-law of the Huang family. One day, Huang Zhen went to Zhou Luqing's house to play, and the Zhou family told him about Zhou Yongnan's martial arts, and Huang Zhen immediately proposed to visit Zhou Daoist how to teach his apprentices. After meeting, Zhou Ju praised Zhou Yongnan for being smart and studious, and his skills are good. Huang Zhen was very unimpressed, and said with a straight face that girls learn martial arts, swing fists and sticks, and there are always lost women. Zhou Ju used the concept of Taoism to help the country, help the people, and compete for loyalty and filial piety, and told Huang Zhen and others many examples of women heroes showing their relatives and fame, and killing enemies to serve the country. Zhou Juyi's Taoist patriotic arguments made Huang Zhen nod again and again, and applauded.
When questioning literature, Zhou Yongnan answered fluently. Huang Zhen couldn't help but be full of joy, smiling, and became friends with Zhou Ju.
When Zhou Yongnan was 11 years old, he was already slim, and his martial arts had made great progress. At this time, it was the eve of the fall of the Qing Dynasty, and Zhou Ju seemed to know something, and insisted on resigning from Zhou Luqing and returning to Wudang Mountain. Zhou Luqing and Huang Zhen said to him: Mr. is the body of a wild crane, and the four seas are his home. We want to choose a famous mountain for Mr., build a Taoist temple, as a place for Mr. Xian's residence, stay in Xiaoxiang for a long time, and comfort the friends of several years, Mr. Shang Qi bowed down. After repeated retention, Zhou Ju agreed. As a result, they jointly issued a fundraising revelation for Jianguan. It is said that it is a "Wudang real person" who travels in Xiaoxiang, and Buluo Qishan Xiong Lingling. As soon as the revelation came, the donors were numerous. People built the "Yunxian Temple" for Zhou Ju in the ten miles of Xiong Zhenling in Qidong County, and invited two incense workers to serve Zhou Ju. More than ten years later, Zhou Ju suddenly disappeared. The Yunxian Temple in Qidong County still existed after the liberation, and was demolished in 1958 during the steel smelting.
Zhou Ju's martial arts "overcome rigidity with softness" and "borrow the strength of the other side to attack the other party's body". During the period of the Republic of China, Qiyang County established the National Art Museum, and the curator Gui Dan was Zhou Ju's apprentice, and his martial arts were called "amazing". At that time, Xie Kuo, a student studying in Japan in Qiyang County, returned to his hometown and set up a Qiyang Girls' Primary School to teach literature and martial arts. When Zhou Yongnan was 15 years old, when the first graduation ceremony of Qiyang County Girls' Primary School was held, in order to reflect the style of women who can write and martial arts, the school decided to hold a ring competition. Someone posted a satirical couplet at the school gate, Lianyun:
After all, it's not Yingxiu, who says Shixi Shengxisheng, who only knows how much to learn;
has become a woman, and it is difficult to keep that little thing if she can be civil and martial.
After Zhou Yongnan read it, he changed the couplet, and it became a new couplet:
After all, she is a heroine, who aims to be a saint and a saint, and has learned how to save the country;
has become a heroine among women, and she is indeed able to write and martial arts, and she wants to eliminate feudal things.
Such a response caused a commotion among the people and made the women raise their eyebrows. When setting up the martial arts ring, a sub-couplet was posted on the ring: punching the feudal defenders; Patron of Civilization in Hand.
After the ring began, Zhou Yongnan defeated more than a dozen opponents in a row. Later, a wealthy gentry's bodyguard came to the stage to compete, and the dart player was five big and three thick, he was a strong and fierce man, and people were all worried about Zhou Yongnan. A few rounds later, Zhou Yongnan used the trick of "borrowing his strength and attacking his body" to knock the big man out of the ring at once. This news spread and caused a sensation in Qiyang County at that time.
In 1919, 19-year-old Zhou Yongnan married Huang Yanqing, Huang Yanqing, the son of Huang Zhen. The next year, the two gave birth to their son, Huang Huasheng. But unfortunately, when Huang Huasheng was nine months old, his father Huang Yanqing died of illness. Zhou Yongnan refused the persuasion of her family to let her remarry, and vowed to keep the festival for her husband. She changed her son's name to Huang Tian, the word filial piety, which means "the sky is dead, and Huang Tian should stand". In order to make a living, Zhou Yongnan used his Chinese culture skills to open a private school for girls at home, and was later hired as a primary school teacher in Baidi City, Qiyang County.
Huang Tian recorded the Wudang Taoist priest in the article "Zhou Juqiren".
2. The mother and son of the military camp who went to the national disaster together
When the Anti-Japanese War broke out, Zhou Yongnan was a primary school teacher, and Huang Tian was a high school student. In November 1938, after the "Wenxi Fire" in Changsha, many homeless refugees poured into Qiyang. Witnessing the suffering of his compatriots, Zhou Yongnan decided to take his son to apply for the Whampoa Military Academy (that is, the Central Army Military Academy) and serve the country and join the army.
Zhou Yongnan's decision was first opposed by his son Huang Tian. Because Huang Tian was preparing to apply for the university, but now his mother asked him to put pen to paper, and he couldn't figure it out for a while. Huang Tian told his mother that the state has a rule: "Only sons do not smoke Ding." Zhou Yongnan said: "Japan does not have a rule that it is not allowed to slaughter orphans and widows. His mother's retort left Huang Tian speechless. After his mother's persuasion, Huang Tian agreed to apply for the Whampoa Military Academy and go to the anti-Japanese front to kill the enemy.
In December 1938, Zhou Yongnan took his son Huang Tian to the Hengyang Admissions Office of the Huangpu Military Academy to register. Instructor Tian of the admissions office said to Zhou Yongnan: "You are 39 years old, you are over the age, and you can't apply for the exam." Zhou Yongnan said excitedly: "The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband." I am a faculty member and should lead by example. Now that the mother and son are in the army, they applied for the exam at the same time, went to the national disaster together, and prayed to serve the country on the battlefield, can you bear to refuse me thousands of miles away?" Instructor Tian was moved by Zhou Yongnan's words and agreed to apply for the exam. Zhou Yongnan changed his age to 24 years old, and after the entrance examination, the mother and son were respectively admitted to the second phase of the third regiment of the wartime work cadre training regiment of the Military Commission and the second corps of the sixteenth phase of the Whampoa Military Academy.
Zhou Yongnan was initially assigned to the political training group of the first female squadron of the sixth brigade of the second phase of the third regiment of the war cadres. Soon, the Third Regiment of War Cadres was ordered to merge with the Third Branch of the Whampoa Military Academy, and the second phase of the Third Regiment of War Cadres was renamed the 16th Student Political Corps of the Third Branch of the Central Army Military Academy, and Zhou Yongnan became a member of the team. Because Zhou Yongnan herself has martial arts skills, her stabbing skills are very good in military training, and she has won the school's stabbing championship many times.
Information about Zhou Yongnan in the address book of the Central Training Corps (data from "Mingyue Jiangke")
After graduating in 1939, Zhou Yongnan was assigned to the Political Department of the 53rd Army of the Ninth Theater as an officer, and was stationed on the west bank of Dongting Lake with the unit. Soon, Zhou Yongnan took the initiative to ask to leave the company, go to the battlefield, and accept the baptism of blood and fire. With the consent of the military department, she organized the families of the military and took in young women in exile to form a female soldier company directly under the military headquarters. In January 1943, the 53rd Army approved Zhou Yongnan to serve as the captain and company commander of the female soldier company. In May of the same year, Zhou Yongnan's unit fought a fierce battle with the Japanese army on the front line of Baiyang Embankment in Changde City, and the Japanese army never broke through the defensive line of Tianjin City. On November 1, the 116th Division, the main force of the Japanese army, rushed to Tsu from Lotus Pond, 40 kilometers away, in an attempt to annihilate our army. Zhou Yongnan wrote to his son Huang Tian between battles:
"Xiaoxian Wu'er knows: The war in Changde is about to break out. My mother and son, since you promise the country with your body, don't worry about your safety. The mother is like a horse leather shroud, and she wishes, and she hopes to inherit my will to protect the country and inspire the soldiers to fight bravely to kill the enemy. ”
On November 8, the Japanese army broke through the defense line of Baiyang Embankment and approached the middle and small ferries, in an attempt to force the crossing of the river and take the city of Jin. At this critical moment, the female soldier company defending the Zhongdu position, under the leadership of Zhou Yongnan, braved the bombardment of Japanese planes and repelled the enemy's fierce attacks again and again. During the battle, the female soldier company and the Japanese invaders engaged in hand-to-hand combat. Zhou Yongnan took the lead and charged ahead, relying on the outstanding martial arts she had practiced since childhood, she killed five Japanese soldiers in a row, including the squadron leader Matsuki. Later, Zhou Yongnan was hit by a bullet in the thigh and fell in a pool of blood, but she endured the severe pain and commanded the female soldiers to continue to fight the attacking enemy. Her comrades-in-arms rescued her from her position and sent her to the 129th Military Station Hospital for treatment.
In between battles, Zhou Yongnan wrote poems to encourage himself and encourage the female soldiers in his department. One of them is:
Huma crisscrossed the water's edge, and the widow was not lazy to ascend to heaven.
Last night, I had to play military music again, and I slept on the battlefield with skeletons.
After recovering from his injuries and being discharged from the hospital, Zhou Yongnan was transferred to the 129th Military Station Hospital as the director of the news room as a major and engaged in inspirational work for wounded soldiers.
After Japan's surrender in 1945, Zhou Yongnan thought that his ambition to serve the country had been paid, so he resolutely retired from the army. In October of the same year, he was hired by the principal Zhang Yusheng to still teach at Baidi Central Primary School.

After graduating, Huang Tian was assigned to the Sixth Theater Commander's Department, serving as a second lieutenant platoon commander and squadron leader of the Sixth Theater Training Corps. Later, he was transferred to the 554th Regiment of the 185th Division of the 66th Army, serving as a company commander and acting battalion commander.
In 1946, after Chiang Kai-shek launched a full-scale civil war, Huang Tian served as the acting battalion commander of the 554th Regiment of the 185th Division of the 66th Army, and fought with the Central Plains People's Liberation Army breakthrough troops in the area of Wudang Mountain. Because the master is a Wudang Taoist, coupled with his mother's careful education, Huang Tian has a deep affection for Wudang Mountain. During the battle in Wudang Mountain, he wrote more than a dozen poems related to Wudang. Two songs are now accepted as follows:
Chapter 1
Jiaojiaowu is in the month, witnessing the old love.
At the beginning of the war, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party exchanged troops.
Invaded the northwest of Hubei and tortured Jiang Song's army.
waved a note of the past, and his heart was pounding.

Second
The moon in the silent night,
Hurt the wine even more.
Looking at the bright moon with a long feeling,
Realize that life is like a nightmare.
How many things,
Shame and shame.
War spectrum spring and autumn,
Armed tour of the Holy Land.
Once determined to be a mainstay,
It's a pity that the famous mountain doesn't help me.
to the bones,
Commissioner's Hill.
Zhou Yongnan did not want her son to continue to serve in the army, she once took her daughter-in-law and grandson to Guangshui County, Hubei Province, to cry to the head of the 554th Regiment Ma Huzhi about the painful experience of keeping festivals and caring for orphans. After Huang Tian sent his mother and wife to Hankou, he abandoned his family and insisted on going to Taiwan to join the 205th Division of the Kuomintang Youth Army and served as the division's combat section chief. Zhou Yongnan, who returned to his hometown, often wrote letters to Huang Tian, asking him to recognize the situation, identify people's hearts, and choose a bright path.
In the winter of 1948, the 205th Division of the Kuomintang Youth Army was transferred to guard Beiping. In January 1949, Huang Tian rebelled with his troops and joined the Chinese People's Liberation Army.

3. Unforgettable anti-Japanese heroes for future generations
Zhou Yongnan retired and returned to his hometown to teach at Baidi Primary School in Qiyang County, and died in 1966 at the age of 66. Huang Tian returned to his hometown from the army in 1952 and worked as an engineer in the Hydropower Bureau of Qiyang County, Hunan Province. After his retirement, he served as the president of the Huangpu Military Academy Alumni Association in Qiyang County and the director of Zhongshan Foreign Language College in Hunan Province, and died in 2000 at the age of 80.
Zhou Yongnan in the 1960s
The mother and son have great respect for Wudang Taoist Zhou Ju, in addition to obeying the teacher's orders and sacrificing their lives for the country, they also keep in mind the teacher's instructions: "If you are not a good look, you are a good doctor." "Those who learn martial arts will not save themselves if they don't understand the way of medicine." The three secret recipes of Wudang Taoist medicine taught by Zhou Ju were applied to the Anti-Japanese War and cured many anti-Japanese wounded and sick. In the 1980s, Huang Tian sent the three secret recipes of Wudang Dao medicine back to Danjiangkou City, Hubei Province. The three secret recipes of Wudang Dao medicine are:
1. Tamari Senshu
Function: Pain relief and detoxification, hemostasis.
Refining method: medicinal mountain lotus leaves (non-lotus lotus leaves), picked and collected in summer, with their roots, to remove fibrous roots and impurities, washed and dried for storage. When refining (mildew cannot be used), 1 kg of dry roots, 12 kg of water, steaming the liquid medicine three times, filtering with a disinfectant gauze towel, removing slag and storing. After five days, filter again to remove sediment and floating impurities. Sealed for use and valid for one year.
According to Zhou Yongnan, using this fairy liquid to rescue the wounded on the battlefield has a miraculous effect of relieving pain and stopping bleeding. When using, first soak the cotton wool with jade liquid, wash the wound, remove the blood, and immediately relieve pain and stop bleeding. Then soak the jade liquid with gauze, apply it to the wound, and then soak the jade liquid with a cotton pad, put it on the gauze, and wrap it with a bandage. If the jade liquid is evaporated and dried by body temperature, then pour the jade liquid and soak it to the degree. Then he was sent to the rear hospital for treatment. When the doctor unfastens the bandage and examines the wound, all the tissues around the wound will show a new phenomenon, so as to avoid the trouble of cleaning and disinfection, reduce the pain of the wounded, and speed up the healing time.
2. Biochemical spirit gum
Lingjiao is divided into two types: water glue and oil glue, and the water glue introduced here is introduced.
Prescription: Senecio, stinky peony, wax leaves, chrysanthemum, notoginseng, hibiscus, roadside ginger, ground root, blood fritillary, a little blood in the mountains, anchovy, mountain pepper, black cypress, malan, milk, iron hoop powder, dragon tooth grass, mugwort leaves, toon, willow leaves and other 20 flavor medicines are prepared in an appropriate amount.
Function: anti-inflammatory, analgesic and hemostatic (bleeding from large arteries and large veins, apply gelatin, can be stopped immediately), vitality, mouth, toxin, pus drainage, decomposition, etc. (Note: water gel is irritating, start to feel stinging, feel comfortable after 15 minutes.) ）
Refining method: Collect herbs, remove impurities, wash and chop, add 3 catties of water to 1 kg of dry medicine, steam the liquid twice, filter and remove the slag. Then use a simmer to concentrate into a gelatinous form (the fire should be tender, the silk can be drawn, and the fire must not be used), take out the non-sticky hand, take it out and put it in a flat-bottomed porcelain plate, cover the glass plate, and expose it to the sun to make it soft into a gelatin, and store it for later use (this biochemical spirit glue, used in the injury department, has unexpected miraculous effects).
3. Wudang Wanying Pill
Prescription: two taels of roadside camphor, three taels of ground roots, one two eight coins of water wax tree, one or two eight coins of black cypress, two taels of chrysanthemum on the field, eight coins of plantain, one or two two coins of water lantern grass, two taels of anchovy grass, two taels of blood fritillary, two taels of iron horsewhip, one two taels of pearl grass, two taels of nut tree, one two or four coins of sea sand, two taels of flat animal grass and other fourteen flavors (if you want more than one amount, you can add medicine according to the dosage ratio).
Function: This pill has a wide range of adaptations. When taken internally, it can strengthen the heart and diuresis, pass stool, strengthen the spleen and stomach, help digestion, nourish the kidneys, awaken the brain and intellectual, regulate body temperature (low temperature decreases, low temperature rises, maintain normal temperature), inhibit blood pressure and so on.
Refining method: Collect the medicine, remove impurities, wash and chop, evaporate the liquid twice, mix and filter to remove the slag. Then condense it into a gelatinous form with a simmer, take it as a degree of non-stickiness, take it in a porcelain basin, cover it with a glass plate, expose it to the sun, make it soft, process it into a pill, wrap it with sugar coating, the size is like a sycamore, put it in a bottle, seal it and set aside (Note: moisture-proof and gas-free, that is, it plays an oxidizing role. Patients take this pill, avoid chicken, duck, and eggs during the period of taking the pill to increase its effect).
The three secret recipes of Wudang Taoist medicine sent by Huang Tian have been lost, and now Wudang Taoist medical workers are doing in-depth research based on this formula, in order to restore the efficacy of the medicine and benefit the patients.
Zhou Yongnan and Huang Tian's mother and son were admitted to the Whampoa Military Academy at the same time, and devoted themselves to the anti-Japanese battlefield of saving the country, and the heroic deeds of killing the enemy and serving the country made future generations unforgettable, attracting many people to praise and learn.
The Huangpu spirit of "patriotism and revolution" is now a positive energy for expanding cross-strait exchanges and cooperation, opposing "Taiwan independence" separatism, and promoting the reunification of the motherland.
