"Kung Fu Panda 1" was released in June 2008, and it has been 10 years since it has been produced in "Kung Fu Panda 3".
The "Secret of the Five Heroes of Kung Fu Panda" introduced today is a 25-minute short film.
The short film tells the story of how the Five Heroes of the Gestapo grew into heroes, which is not found in Kung Fu Panda 1, 2 and 3.
The whole short film tells 6 stories.
What, isn't it 5?
Well, yes, it's 6.
【First 5 Stories】
Through the lines of the bunny trainees at the end of the film, we know that each small story has a deep meaning.
Kung Fu is not a fight, but:
Praying Mantis – Patience
Spirit Snake – Courage, Courage
Crane - confidence
Tiger – self-control, discipline
Monkey – Empathy, Compassion
【Story 1 Praying Mantis】
The praying mantis is an acute child, and without listening to the information, he runs to the most dangerous area, is ambushed and imprisoned, and understands the importance of patience and waiting in the cage.
Are there any such people around you?
He always interjected before others could finish.
He started doing things without being ready, and it turned out to be a mess.
Others told him the lessons learned, and he did not have the patience to listen, anxious to get away with it.
He only believed that "the world's martial arts are only fast and not broken", but in the end he lost on "fast".
Too fast is sometimes not a good thing, the steps are too big, it is easy to pull the egg.
The advantage of mantis martial arts is fast, and the disadvantage of personality is impatience.
The advantage of the acute sub-person is that he is quick in doing things, and the disadvantage is that he is impatient, irritable, and desperate to urge others, and if others are slow, he will be angry, and the rhythm of others' work will also be disrupted, making no one uncomfortable.
The mantis understands, and changes from a master to a hero.
People with short tempers can often only blame themselves for communication failures, and if they had been patient at the beginning, the results may be completely different.
For the career, if you do everything you can do, but the major opportunity has not come, you do not give up, patiently wait, one day, will be different from today.
【Story 2 Spirit Snake】
Spirit Snake's father is a martial arts master, unfortunately, Spirit Snake did not have poisonous fangs in nature, and could not inherit her father's divine skills, but she practiced some dance kung fu, and also inherited her father's responsibility to punish bad people and protect the village.
The spirit snake defeats the bad guys by not relying on the courage mentioned in the film, but on accepting its own disadvantages, giving full play to its own strengths, taking advantage of its strengths and avoiding its weaknesses, and being yourself.
A small spirit snake without poisonous fangs is like a novice in the workplace without core competitiveness.
The little spirit snake tells us:
No poisonous fangs, you can still dance!
To truly achieve results, we must find out in which field our core abilities are in, and find the unique ways that we are good at.
Don't blindly compare with others with whether there are poisonous fangs or not, be brave to be yourself, play to your advantages, and you can do the same!
Talk about the workplace, talk about education.
Basic education, as the name suggests, is to lay the foundation, so it is a short education, every aspect, each discipline should have a basic understanding, will not, do not like, not good at, but also have to learn, compulsory learning.
Higher education is a model of promoting strengths and avoiding weaknesses, so that everyone can play their strengths and become professionals, become experts, masters, and masters.
Therefore, in the adult world, we must use our strengths and avoid our weaknesses, do ourselves well, and learn from the spirit snake.
The second implication is the parent-child relationship.
If you are a musician and want to have a career with your children, but find that your children are deaf.
If you are a painter, but find your children colorblind. ......
Well, let's not talk about it so extreme.
The most common situation in life is that decent parents want their children to become lawyers and doctors, and as a result, the children are not interested or good at it, and the children like music, or street dance, or basketball.
What to do?
I want my child to enter state-owned enterprises, central enterprises, and banks, but children just like to toss and want to start a business.
There is an old Chinese saying:
Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren.
This is the wisdom of the East.
Americans also export Western values in this animated short film, and most Westerners do not like to interfere with children's choices, which coincides with Eastern wisdom.
The third realization is the original intention.
Why is the little spirit snake dancing so good? Good enough to defeat enemies and protect the village with dance kung fu?
Her original intention was to make her father happy, so she practiced dancing to the extreme.
The direct reason why she dared to shoot was also: no one could hurt my father!
My daughter is really Daddy's little cotton jacket and little lover!
Well, what I would say is:
The original intention is positive, the process pursues the ultimate, and the result can be successful!
Before doing things, think about your original intention, for money, for your family, for the motherland, for the needs of society, or for what?
【Story 3 Crane】
He was a "sweeping monk".
According to the story, Xianhe was sweeping the floor of the martial arts hall while training, and had made perfect preparations for the entrance examination.
All ready, what are you afraid of? No, he was still afraid because he wasn't confident.
His figure was dry and thin, his calves were so thin, he looked like he would break as soon as he broke, and he didn't look like a martial arts practitioner, let alone become a hero.
When everyone laughed at him, he himself believed, and the inferior did not want it.
The encouragement of Mei Ling's master sister, as well as his initial performance in the examination venue, gave him super confidence, broke through the institutional obstacles all the way, and got the small red flag of passing the exam.
Kung Fu for Xianhe is not only an essential ability to become a hero, but also gives him the confidence of "Crane Sheng".
Does self-confidence make you more capable of tackling the next problem, or does your ability to overcome a problem make you more confident?
We don't dwell on it.
In psychology, there is a term called "self-efficacy."
Simply put, have the confidence to do something well.
If the self-efficacy is very poor, even if there is enough ability to do well and learn well, the result is likely to be failure.
In the laughter of everyone, the self-efficacy generated by the encouragement of Master Meiling's sister completely disappeared, and he felt that his small legs were really not the material for practicing martial arts, and he was willing to sweep the teeth that fell on the ground.
If it were not for the mistake of entering the line, subconsciously blocking the incoming mechanism, so that Xianhe felt that he was still capable of doing it and restored his self-confidence, then Xianhe might sweep the land for a lifetime and could not realize the dream of becoming a kung fu hero.
When you don't have self-confidence, you may wish to complete a few simple tasks, first find confidence, and then complete more difficult tasks.
【Story 4 Tiger】
The story of the little tiger is the one that I feel the most.
Little Tiger lives in an orphanage, she is powerful, but she can't control herself, always scares others, no children play with her, and no family dares to adopt her. Under the leadership of the master, she became very good in temperament, and was eventually led home by the master.
First, self-control.
Some people may think that this is a clichéd story of practicing tai chi to hone temperament.
And in my opinion, everyone has more or less the problem of the little tiger.
Can't control their emotions, behaviors, sometimes don't even realize that they have bad emotions, behaviors, etc., resulting in some consequences, will reflect, why did I do this just now?
Some people don't even reflect, but accuse others: It's all your fault!
I'm angry with you, I'm angry with you when I cry, I'm angry with you when I drop things, and I'm angry with you when I hit you.
Why not think about how to control your emotions and behavior?
In fact, it is not so difficult to control emotional behavior, and I will write another detailed article in the future.
If everyone can learn from the little tiger how to self-discipline and self-control, it will not be far from happiness and success.
The second point, did you find it?
Although the little tiger has changed and grown a lot, no one dares to adopt her.
The tiger is the king of the beasts, living alone in a mountain, those little sheep and rabbits are originally the food of the tiger, how can they get along like a family?
Expecting a pig daddy, a mother rabbit, or something like that to adopt a tiger? Basically impossible.
Although the master is a little raccoon, he is strong in kung fu and is also the Bole of the little tiger, and he can still get along very well in the end when he takes the little tiger.
Just like some cattle people, strongmen, and masters, they have bad temperament attributes, and even if he can change well later, he may still not be able to integrate into the surroundings, and he needs to find an environment that suits him and accepts him.
Generally speaking, when there is a problem, first introspect and correct it, and when there is really nothing wrong with yourself, it may be time to change the environment.
【Story 5 Monkey】
Why did the little monkey become the (B.A.D)big bad?
Because when I was a child, I was ugly and ridiculed, I buried a shadow, and then I saw everyone throw a banana to make him ugly, or take off other people's pants to make fun of others.
Later, he met the turtle master, and after three steps of fighting, rescue, and initiation, he let the little monkey prodigal son turn back and be helpful.
If you have children at home, please note that everything is not a small matter, and perhaps any small thing will really affect the child's life.
For example, being scolded for bedwetting is a small matter in the eyes of adults, but some people still wet the bed after adulthood, because they are emotionally nervous after being scolded when they are young, and the more they are scolded, the worse they are.
Of course, you can't blindly take care of it and cultivate a small vulnerability that can't withstand any pressure.
If you have a particularly nasty person around you, don't be tough with him, just like many villagers want to use force to drive away the little monkey, it generally won't work, you need to use empathy to feel his unknown pain, find his bad reason, and then at the right time, use words to ignite, like the turtle master, well, feel super powerful.
If you feel like you can't do it, practice empathy or learn psychology.
To be precise, the monkey story tells us empathy, not compassion.
If you're a little monkey yourself, I won't say more, mm-hmm, come back soon.
【What is the sixth story?】 】
Yes, it is the story of the first time Panda Ah Bao taught kung fu.
As a dragon hero, although his kung fu is strong, he may not be able to teach students successfully.
Ah Bao did everything in his power.
When his voice could not suppress the noisy sound of the rabbits, he knocked the gong to attract everyone's attention, let everyone sit well, and maintain the discipline of the class.
Yes, this is the basic look of the class, well done, Ah Bao.
In fact, Ah Bao didn't know what to talk about, but when the little rabbits mentioned the five heroes, he began to tell the story of the five heroes because of the snobbery.
Ah Bao used the method that has been advocated in both management circles and education circles in recent years - storytelling.
The story method believes that a good leader and a good teacher do not directly preach, but tell a story, and integrate the meaning you want to express into the story.
No one refuses to listen to stories, just like everyone likes to read novels and watch movies and TV dramas.
Ah Bao's story wants to talk about the advanced cognition of kung fu.
When Ah Bao first mentioned that kicking the bad guy's ass (fighting, fighting, killing) is good, but it's just a trick. The bunny's expression went like this:
Huh?
Remember the expressions of the bunnys, which are the expressions they often have when they first hear a new high-level view that contradicts their own low-level views.
Although there is a better cognition or point of view in front of you, because it is contrary to the original cognition, many times it is really impossible to accept it at once.
If you still keep telling opinions and don't tell stories, maybe the rabbits will become more and more unacceptable.
Fortunately, Ah Bao's story was well told, which stabilized the little rabbit and allowed the students to slowly accept his views in the story.
What about the result of the class? Was Po's teaching successful? That's a matter of opinion.
If from the skill level, Ah Bao almost did not teach anything, before and after class to compare the physical fitness and fists and feet, the little rabbits estimated that there was no little progress, it can be said that it is a failed class.
At the level of kung fu philosophy, for the bunny students to upgrade from low-level cognition (kung fu is fighting, fighting, killing and killing) to high cognition (self-confidence, self-discipline, patience, etc.), Ah Bao's class is quite successful.
Talk about education.
In the past, schools basically only taught the "technical" level of knowledge and skills, and almost did not teach the "Tao" level.
Physics, chemistry, and biology are used to brush up on questions, get high scores, and pass schools well, not to improve the understanding of space-time, motion, the universe, nature, matter, and change.
In the eyes of students, language is words and sentences, memorized texts, essays, and reading questions, rather than observing, feeling, understanding, and expressing.
Sports is all about running for how many seconds, how far to jump, how high to jump, not to challenge, to surpass, to cooperate, to be confident.
Fine art is the image of the painting, not the aesthetic and expression.
……
When teaching others, when learning, when working, when doing things...
We can't just stay at the level of "technique" and have a correct understanding at the level of "Tao" in order to truly grow.
This is the "kung fu philosophy" taught to us by Panda Ah Bao.
