Chen Wangting's name recorded a poem "Long and Short Sentences": "Sigh back then, Phi Jian was sharp, swept the atmosphere of the crowd, and several times in danger!" Blessed, in vain, to this day, old and crippled, only to have a volume of "Yellow Court" with him. Make fists when you are bored, cultivate the fields when you are busy, take advantage of the spare time, teach some disciples and grandchildren, and become a tiger. If the official grain is owed early, the private debt will be repaid immediately, and the arrogance should not be used, and forbearance should be given first. Everyone is humane, and everyone is humane. Wash your ears often and don't play the crown. Laughing at the ten thousand princes, conscientious and conscientious, it is not as good as Chang Shutai in my heart, fame and fortune are always not greedy. Penetrate the organs, see through Handan, pottery in fish and water, coiled in the mountains and rivers, xing is not dry, waste is not dry. If a world is healthy, as usual, and does not ask for anything, then it does not matter if he is in a good state. Success has nothing to do with it, and failure has nothing to do with it. Not a fairy who is a fairy"?!
This "Long and Short Sentence" was written under the name of Chen Wangting in the "Chen Family Ride", and there is no doubt that it was composed by Chen Wangting. Tang Hao's inspection of Chen Jiagou was also identified as the work of Chen Wangting. Mr. Tang said in the "Taijiquan Research": In the year of Jia Shen, before and after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, Chen Wangting was old and reclusive, making boxing for self-entertainment and teaching his children and grandchildren. His last words were "Sigh of the year, Phi Jian Zhi Rui ...". In the "Xingjian Zhai Essay", he also revised Chen Wangting's "Long and Short Sentences" in Chen Ziming's "Hereditary Chen Taijiquan" and Chen Wangting's "Long and Short Sentences" in Chen Xin's "Illustrations of Chen's Taijiquan". Gu Liuxin's "Taijiquan Technique", "Chen Style Great Pole Quan", and "Taijiquan Research" also use this theory and are identified as the works of Chen Wangting.
In the 1980s, the Sports Daily suddenly published "Gu Liuxin Issued a Statement Correcting: Chen Wangting Is Not the Chen Wangting in Chenjiagou, Henan", which confused people. The article was published on the third page of the newspaper Sports on 9 June 1980, and the original text is as follows:
What changes did Gu Liuxin go through from identifying that "Long and Short Sentences" were written by Chen Wangting in Wenxian County to changing it to Chen Wangting in Lulong, Hebei? After consulting the relevant information, it turned out that Gu Liuxin's changes to the author of "Long and Short Sentences" were from Chen Jiagou's investigation in Wu Tunan's "Research on Taijiquan". Wu Tunan said: "I would like to talk about the situation of visiting and investigating Chenjiagou in Henan in the early years. In 1917, when I went to Jiaozuo, Henan Province, I inquired that it was only twenty miles away from Chenjiagou, so I went from Jiaozuo to Wen County, because Chenjiagou belonged to Wen County. After arriving in Wen county, I asked the county education department to help with this investigation, visited Chen Jiagou, Chen Xin made an introduction, the Wen County Education Department agreed, and introduced to me that there were very few people studying in Chen Jiagou village at that time, and only one person named Chen Xin was a relatively prestigious reader. So they accompanied me to find him. Not far to the northeast from the county seat of Wenxian County is Chenjiagou, at that time Chenjiagou had a ditch, and there was a large dirt slope on the side of the ditch, and it is said that the soil slope has now been bulldozed." We see the tomb of the ninth ancestor of the Chen family, Chen Wangting (Zi Xiangting), in front of which there is a small stone pillar with Wu Yusheng written on it. Wu Kusheng is the later Wu Xiucai, equivalent to today's primary school graduation. However, Mr. Gu Liuxin mistakenly believed that Chen Wangting was a military expert in the late Ming Dynasty, also called Chen Wangting, saying how much merit he had, how could he fight, and so on. The Chen Wangting cited by Mr. Gu Liuxin was a Ming Dynasty Scholar, who served as the Inspector of Imperial History and Supervised the Imperial History of the Army; Chen Xin's ancestor Ancestor Chen Wangting (Zi Xiangting) was a Wu Yusheng and a Xiucai, which was a non-conformity. Chen Wangting, written in the History of Ming, was a native of Lulong County, Hebei Province; Chen Xin's ancestor, Chen Wangting (Zi Songting), was a native of Chenjiagou, Wen County, Henan Province." Therefore, it was concluded that the "long and short sentences" belonged to Chen Wangting in Lulong County, Hebei Province, not Chen Wangting in Chengou Village, Wen county, Henan!
Chen Wangting of Lulong, Hebei, died in 1630, and Chen Wang Tingming of Wenxian County was born in the twenty-eighth year of the Wanli Calendar (1601), about a generation apart. The era in which the two lived, the ups and downs they experienced, and the state of their thinking were very different. Therefore, from the content of the "Long and Short Sentences", it can be roughly judged which Chen Wangting wrote it.
First, the detailed explanation of "Wearing Firmness and Perseverance". There are two things that can be used as circumstantial evidence. The first is to defend the county seat of Wen County. Wu Conghai's "Wen County Chronicle" Wu Conghai passed on: "Wu Conghai, the government sentenced Wen County, on the occasion of the rampant Tukou in Henan, along the river, straight to Wencheng, from the sea relatives to take the yashi, led the people to the imperial court, Kou was not allowed to cross." From the sea: water warfare and fire attack, ordering the township soldiers to garrison Chen Wangting, Qianzong Guo Zhong, etc., setting fire to the thief ship, drowning countless people, and then fled. Loyalty to the Middle Stream is dead". It can also be clarified from Wu Conghai that Chen Wangting did not participate in the Li Jiyu uprising. The "圡寇" in the sentence "Rampant in Henan Tukou" refers to Li Ji's encounter with the rebel army. The Ming Chronicle and the Chronicle of Yu Change generally refer to Li Zicheng's rebel army as Liu Kou, and Li Ji's rebel army as a Kou or a thief. At the same time, it also proves that Chen Wang Ting's Yudaishan encountered Jiang Fa, which was also a figment. The fact is that after Chen Wangting's Huangba Lizhuang on the banks of the Yellow River in the autumn of Henan Province, he fled to Lizhuang, Huangba, on the banks of the Yellow River in Shandong, because of his high martial arts, he was hired as a dart master, walked in Shandong, wore a strong and sharp hand, and surrendered many good men in the green forest, so there is a record of "being called a famous hand in Shandong" in the "Chen Family Ride" Chen Wangting entry.
There is only one thing that records the Chen Wang Ting in Lulong, Hebei: "Ming Shi Liechuan": "In the first month of next year, Wang Keshou, the governor of the Ho Nai Hui, Zhou Yongchun, and the inspector of Chen Wangting, etc., made an oath on the first day of February 10 and the twenty-first day of the day. The troops were divided into four ways: the chief soldier Ma Lin went out to attack the north, Du Song went out of Fushun to attack the west, Li Rubai came out of the Yalu Pass to attack the Qing River to attack the south, and the southeast was based on Liu Ling out of Kuan Dian, after liang ma was pounded, and the Korean soldiers assisted him. 470,000 soldiers, expected to march on March 2 will be two passes at the same time. It was snowing heavily, the troops were stagnant, and the division was discharged. Song wanted to make the first contribution, crossed the Hun River first, entered the Erdao Pass, ambushed the hair, and the army was destroyed." Erdaoguan was a pass of the Ming Great Wall, and this meeting was to discuss the incident of sending troops from Erdaoguan to the Northern Expedition of the Jin people. In the ming dynasty, the official system sent inspectors to inspect the various provinces every year to inspect the administration of officials. Chen Wangting, as the Inspector of the Seven Pins, participated in the discussion of the dispatch of troops. As a result, due to heavy snowfall, no troops were sent. Among them, there is a man named Juniper who "wants to make the first contribution, cross the Hun River in advance, enter the Erdao Pass, ambush the hair, and destroy the army." This shows that Chen Wangting of Lulong, Hebei Province, has not had the experience of "wearing a strong and persistent". From this point of view, this poem is not suitable for expressing the experience of Lu Long Chen Wangting.
2. Detailed explanation of "receiving gifts". The deed of Chen Jiagou Chen Wangting's hooking up with "mengshi" should be an incident of Henan Province's sword splitting and drumming officials. According to the investigation in Chenjiagou, the time of the knife splitting and drumming incident was about the seventh or ninth year of Ming Chongzhen. Realistically speaking, the unfairness of drum officials belongs to the corruption of the science field. From a legal point of view, the knife and drum official should violate the order of the examination room or violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty. According to the law, Chen Wangting was sentenced to imprisonment. From the sixteenth year of Chen Wang Tingming Chongzhen's sixteenth year with Wu Conghai to fight against Kou Kou and became a township garrison, Chen Wangting has been pardoned by the Ming Dynasty and given corresponding rewards and appointments. This is one of the gifts. After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty was established, and the Chen Wangting sword and drum officials should also oppose the corruption of the Ming Dynasty's officialdom, and should also be blessed by the Qing Dynasty. This "gift" is both.
Lu Long chen Wangting's "gift" came from the failure of the military operation he participated in. As mentioned above, "The Northern Expedition incident of the Erdaoguan Great Wall, due to the inconsistent pace of various armies, the failure of the Northern Expedition, the responsibility of the emperor to track down the participants in the incident, Chen Wangting was also tracked down." In 1630, he committed suicide by drinking poison in his hometown. If the "Long and Short Sentences" were made by Lu Long Chen Wangting before his death, Chen Wangting was still there before his death: "If you have a worldly environment of well-being, tranquility as usual, and do not ask for it, then it does not matter whether he is good in the world, it has nothing to do with success, and it has nothing to do with defeat." Not a god who is a god", isn't that a fool's dream?
Third, "see through Handan" detailed explanation. It is a bit too poetic to believe that the "Long and Short Sentences" were written by Lu long Chen Wangting, and to interpret "knowing Handan" as chen Wangting's former office in Handan. Since he was working there, what did he know about Handan? No one can explain clearly.
In fact, seeing through Handan is a miscellaneous drama of Ma Zhiyuan of the Yuan Dynasty, based on the Tang Dynasty novel "Pillow Record", which says that Lü Dongbin entered Beijing to take the exam and rested in a guest house in Handan, and the shop cooked yellow sorghum rice for him. Lu Dongbin, who was tired of hurrying, had a dream in which he married Gao Taiwei's daughter and had a pair of children. During the year he was ordered to go out to consult, his wife had an affair with someone else, and was bumped into by Lü Dongbin and wanted to kill his wife. At this time, the imperial court began to track down him when he was fighting, because he accepted money from the other side, deliberately defeated the battle, and sold the battle to receive money, and was sent to a remote place. When he was chased and killed on the way, he woke up from a dream, and the yellow sorghum rice in the guest house had not yet been cooked. This incident has also been interpreted into an idiom: "Sweet Dreams Yellow Sorghum". As a result, Lü Dongbin realized that "life is like a dream, everything is empty", so he gave up the official field to join the ranks of the eight immortals and became immortals.
This story has many connections to Chen Jiagou's life experience. I think that in those years, he used to be "strong and stubborn, sweeping the atmosphere of the crowd, and several times of turbulence"; I think that in those years, he once received the gifts of the imperial court; when he was young, he could be described as vigorous, but when he reached old age, he only ended up with a volume of "Yellow Court" with him, how lonely! He thus realized that life should not covet any fame and fortune, nor do you dream of that yellow sorghum, be idyllic as usual, do not ask for it, regardless of the good state of the world, regardless of success or failure, this is the life of the living gods and immortals!
Fourth, "make a fist when you are bored" explained in detail. The "History of Ming" and the "Chronicle of Lulong County" all record that Lulong Chen Wangting was a literary scholar who made a patrol. The inspector himself was a civilian official. No text records that he was a martial artist. Although he participated in the military conference that discussed the exodus, that military meeting led to the failure of the clearance, the destruction of the army, and he became a sinner and committed suicide. Therefore, this scholar could not write the verse "Making a Fist When You Are Bored".
There are many interpretations of the term "making fists", and chen Wangting's experience alone can have two interpretations. First, the creation of the character of the fist, the Wenxian dialect is pronounced as the third sound of Mandarin: zao. The meaning of playing. "Make a fist when you are bored", that is, when the farm work is done, the field is clean, and there is no time to fight and talk about boxing to entertain yourself. Second, making a fist is also the meaning of creation. Regarding Chen Wangting's creation of Taijiquan, There are many records in Tang Cun's "Li Family Tree". The "Genealogy of the Li Family" records: "The Eighth Ancestor Of Zhen Chunmao, the character Ye Hao, the Zhonggong Hou entered the Qianzai Temple, the Three Holy Gates, the Taiji Palace to worship the Master Bo Gong Wu Dao, learned the fist and crossed the sword, looked at the astrology, read the art of war, carried forward the theory of the unity of the three religions, Wuji Health Preservation Gong, the ThirteenTh Fist, the Sword, the Gun Art, the Reputation transmission of Divine Gong, the travel of the teachings to pass on the fist in Jin, Lu, Shaanxi, Zhejiang, Hu, Guangshu Province, Heming Yan; the Ninth Gong Gong Zhong, The Secret Letter Jie Chen Gou Gu Cousin Chen Gong Gong Gong , Tong Arm Gong, Examination and Selection of Tribute, Luring Thief Camp, Wen Wu Zhi Jie, Wei Zhen Thief Xiong. In the Li Family Genealogy, Li Zhong's entry records: "Li Zhong, Zi Feng, Zhongyuan Zhongyuan, Hua Da Liang, Yang Shi, Xing Er, born five sons, Chang Yuan Qin, Ji Yuan Chen, San Zhan Ao, Si Yuan Shan, Wu Yuan Ming, Gong Sheng, born in the twenty-sixth year of the Wanli Calendar, died in the twenty-eighth year of the Kangxi Dynasty." In the year of the Apocalypse, the Hanoi Academy, Wen wu shuang xiu, and brother Xin and Chen Gou Gu cousin Chen Songting, Senzai Temple worshiped the master to create a fist, assisted the Ting examination examiner uneven hugging beating, Jie Ge ci avoided the aunt's family in Qi county to pass the fist, and then the cousin Mou was lured into the thief camp general Yan, the letter was wrongfully killed by the thief, and Zhong Xiejia left the thief camp to go to zhejiang Di Junfu Book Club and Wutang To pass the fist for a living. In the Li Family Genealogy, Li Xin entries: "Li Xin, ZiYan, Mingwei, with Chen and Kong, Xingsi, gave birth to a son Yuan Bin Shao died, Gong Sheng, born in the thirty-fourth year of the Wanli Calendar, died in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen." In the early years, according to his father Jiyuan to study, after the brother Zhong, Chen Gou Gu table played the Ting Qianzai Temple, the Three Holy Gates, the Taiji Palace worship master, Shuzhi Wenwu, Shuangjie became famous, the art of Tai Chi Health Gong, the thirteen postures of fist, sword, arrow art, the name of several provinces, so the Ting Ting examination examiner uneven hugging, the resignation to avoid the Fengqicheng aunt family to pass on the fist, the uncle Chun Yu grain line main account silver, create a rumor, stone chestnut danger, grain line broken, into the Thousand Zai Temple and punch again. In the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, his cousin Mu Was lured into the thief camp and was killed by thieves in seventeen years, and his wife and concubine were killed. Take the second brother Zhong's fourth son Yuan Shan to worship. The reason why the "Li Family Tree" records the deeds of Chen Wangting, Li Yan, and Li Zhongchuang in tai chi health martial arts is because the Chen and Li families have been friends for generations. When he immigrated from Hongdong, "the ancestors and Changyang Village Chen Gong Zhen Bu, Hao Zhuang Chen Gong Zhen Hou, Li Wa Li Gong Zhen Qinghe, Liu Village Jiang Gong Pei Li Li Gong Gong Li Li Gong Li Xiang Forget the old deer and deer lineage, every new year's festival of the dragon's head, folk music dance, a hundred miles trek to the Temple of a Thousand Lives, pray for the three holy spirits, pay homage to the monks and taoist masters to eat and pass on the fist to nourish the pulse of grace." Not only are generations of friends good, but every year at the beginning of February, when the second dragon looks up, they also gather at Senzai-ji Temple to thank the monks of Senzai-ji Temple for eating and passing on the fist. The second is the in-law relationship between the Chen and Li families. According to the "Li Family Genealogy", "Li Zhengde, the character is natural, with the Meng clan, the second line, the birth of a son Chunmao, the birth of two daughters, Changchangyang Village Chen Men, the second North Jin Village Li Men." Li Zhengde's eldest daughter married Chen Jiagou Chen as his daughter-in-law. Judging from the "Li Family Tree" that Chen Wangting and Li Yan and Li Zhong are cousins, Li Zhengde's eldest daughter should be Chen Wangting's mother.
In addition to the "Li Family Tree" recorded Chen Wangting, Li Yan, Li Zhongchuang Taiji health martial arts, thirteen potentials, "WenXian Chronicle • Character History" also records: "Chen Wangting, Zi Xiangting, county east Chen Jiagou boxing, in the Ming Dynasty, has been famous, to the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Wang Ting for the county to learn martial arts, yu boxing more research, especially more experience, in recent times the so-called Taijiquan, that is, by its development, generations, has become a unique secret."
Through the detailed explanation of the "Long and Short Sentences", it can basically be concluded that the "Long and Short Sentences" is the work of Chen Wangting of Chen Jiagou and has nothing to do with Chen Wangting of Lulong, Hebei!
