Sticks and sticks are aligned, taizu martial arts are the most invincible!
Among the hundreds of emperors in Chinese history, each has its own characteristics, and the martial arts of emperor Zhao Jia can be described as a legend. Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin. His Panlong Stick Technique is the best of the sticks, and Taizu Long Fist is the supreme fist technique! Even if a person like him is not an emperor, he can open a sect and become a generation of masters.
Song Taizu was the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, and as we all know, the Song Dynasty emphasized literature over martial arts, so many people believe that Song Taizu was a literati emperor. But in fact, Zhao Kuangyin was born in the army, and before becoming emperor, he was a tiger general with extraordinary skills. Military talent is outstanding, and gradually leads the army. Then Chen Qiao mutinied, the yellow robe was added, lied that he was sleeping, and suddenly became the emperor. With the help of martial arts, he conquered the north and conquered the Great Song Dynasty. Known as Emperor Taizu, founder of the Great Song Dynasty.
Zhao Kuangyin not only knew martial arts, but was also particularly strong, the founder of several martial arts in China, and the emperor with extremely strong martial arts values in Chinese history.
"It is long, majestic in appearance, open-minded in instrumentality, and those who know it know that it is very human." Learn to ride and shoot, and get out of people. Try the evil horse, do not give the title, the horse yi up the city ramp, the forehead touched the lintel fell to the ground, people think that the head will be broken, Taizu Xu rose, and chased the horse to the top, no harm. ——" Song Shi Taizu Benji
Zhao Kuangyin was born in a military family, and his father was a fierce general. As the saying goes, "the tiger father has no dog", and it is precisely because of such a father that he has heard about it since he was a child, plus he has been wandering in the rivers and lakes in his early years and has trained a good skill.
Zhao Kuangyin became acquainted with and followed Guo Wei during the Later Han Dynasty, becoming one of Guo Wei's tiger generals. Later, after Guo Wei abolished the Han Dynasty and built the Zhou Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin took on the great responsibility of opening up the territory and expanding the territory, and repeatedly made military achievements in cutting thorns and thorns. Guo Wei and Later Zhou Shizu Chai Rong were extremely important.
In 959, Zhou Shizong Chai Rong died after returning to Beijing on a northern expedition, and before his death, he personally appointed Zhao Kuangyin as the leader of the imperial forbidden army. But anyone who can achieve the position of the leader of the Imperial Forbidden Army, in addition to having a brain, must also be first-class in martial arts.
Zhao Kuangyin said that few people assassinated him after the emperor, not only did he have his own skills, but the masters under him were all fierce people who were one to ten, and it is worth mentioning that these people were all trained by Zhao Kuangyin himself.
He also founded Taizu Long Fist and Panlong Stick. In particular, Taizu Changquan, although it has a history of more than a thousand years, it has always been one of the martial arts schools that people have been sought after to learn, and is one of the "six famous fists" in the Chinese martial arts industry.
How many emperors were able to create martial arts? Only Taizu is alone. But when we mention the Song Dynasty, we always discuss why the combat effectiveness of the Song Army is so low, and it is chased and beaten by liaojin and has no ability to fight back. And why is the founding emperor so high in martial arts, and how to explain the problem that the Song army is so weak? I will not dwell on it here, and I will have the opportunity to analyze it again. But it is absolutely true that Emperor Taizu of Song was a man of high martial arts and great skill.
