The martial arts master Wang Qianzhai taught countless apprentices in his lifetime, but when it comes to proud disciples, it must be Yao Zongxun and Zhao Daoxin. Especially Zhao Daoxin, as early as when he was studying art, Wang Qianzhai often praised him as "extremely clever, and once he learned it, he would be able to learn it." However, in his later years, Zhao Daoxin openly denied that Wang Qianzhai was his master, and also said that he had learned nothing from Wang Qianzhai. What's going on here?
Wang Qianzhai was right, Zhao Daoxin was indeed "extremely smart."
Zhao Daoxin, whose real name is Zhao Enqing, was born in 1908 in Tianjin to a family of scholars. His father, Zhao Yintang, was a very talented reader, and at the same time, he was also very fond of fist and foot kung fu, and he often compared things.
Zhao Enqing has been clever and clever since he was a child, whether it is teaching him to memorize poems or teach him to fight boxing, he can never forget it, and he will teach it. Zhao Enqing is a very curious person, he was very fond of dismantling the clocks and watches at home when he was a child, and as a result, he tossed and turned, and even learned to repair clocks and watches, and he would also send telegrams... In short, as long as he wants to learn, nothing seems to be difficult for him. In addition, Zhao Enqing is very athletically talented, swimming and weightlifting are his regular training projects. However, probably under the influence of his father, he was most obsessed with martial arts.
The conditions of the Zhao family were quite generous, and Zhao Yintang had friendships with the masters of tianjin's martial arts circle because of his penchant for fists and feet. Zhao Yintang saw that his son was fond of martial arts, and without saying a word, he found Zhang Zhankui, a representative figure in the martial arts circle in Tianjin, and after worshiping him as a teacher, Zhao Enqing began his path of learning martial arts.
A person like Zhao Enqing is really a person who appreciates food from heaven. Why?
It turned out that after Zhao Enqing learned martial arts with Zhang Zhankui for several months, he dared to compete with others, and as a result, many martial arts masters were not his opponents. His performance not only stunned the people in tianjin's martial arts circles, but also made Zhang Zhankui very proud, feeling that he had obtained a once-in-a-century xi martial arts wizard. Therefore, Zhang Zhankui decided to cultivate him as a descendant of the Shape Meaning Bagua Fist and renamed him "Zhenbang". It can be seen how much Zhang Zhankui has placed high hopes on him.
At that time, Zhang Zhankui had the name of "Sai Tianba" in Tianjin. The reason why there is such a name is because the Shape Intention Bagua Fist has become the climate at that time, and the most people are admiring the name to learn the art, and it can be said that there are disciples of the Shape Intention Bagua Fist all over the country. Anyone who went to Tianjin to perform martial arts or swing had to visit Zhang Zhankui first. After getting his permission, you can find a place to practice. Some people are not convinced by this unspoken rule, but they are not his opponents, and can only call him "Sai Tianba" behind his back.
In fact, Zhang Zhankui had absolutely no intention of becoming the overlord of Tianjin's martial arts circle, he was very kind to people. Seeing that Wang Qianzhai had no way to make a living after returning to Beijing, he also wrote a letter to Wang Qianzhai and invited him to come to Tianjin to become a boxer.
Speaking of which, Wang Qianzhai's master Guo Yunshen and Zhang Zhankui's master Liu Qilan were both disciples of Li Luoneng, the originator of the shape of the fist, so it should really be calculated that Zhang Zhankui and Wang Qianzhai were brothers in the same division.
Wang Qianzhai was also a master of shape and intention boxing, and after becoming famous, he had been an official under the warlord Xu Shuzheng.
Later, due to the turmoil of the times, Wang Qianzhai returned to Beijing. Therefore, after he received Zhang Zhankui's letter, he came to Tianjin to visit Zhang Zhankui. Since then, the two have been commensurate with each other, and Zhang Zhankui has also asked his beloved disciple Zhao Enqing to stand on the pile and push his hand with Wang Qianzhai.
At this time, Zhao Enqing already had some martial arts. Wang Qianzhai also found that Zhao Enqing was very talented in martial arts, and he was recommended by Zhang Zhankui, so Wang Qianzhai treated him differently than other disciples, and even adopted him as a son and renamed him "Daoxin". Since then, the name Zhao Enqing has been invalidated.
Zhao Daoxin belonged to the kind of disciple who knew everything at one point, and usually Wang Qianzhai could practice the newly learned martial arts very well as long as he gave him a little bit. This made Wang Qianzhai, who had traveled south and north, very happy, and felt that he was not tired of teaching him, unlike some disciples who taught him for three days and three nights, but they could not understand it.
Therefore, Wang Qianzhai often praised Zhao Daoxin, saying that he was "extremely clever and will learn as soon as he learns."
After several years of hard training, Zhao Daoxin had already learned the essence of martial arts, and his skills were unbeatable.
In 1929, Zhang Jingjiang served as the chairman of Zhejiang Province, and he held the National Art And Amusement Conference in Hangzhou, such as Zhang Zhijiang, director of the United Nations Museum. For a while, all the heroes signed up to participate, and they all wanted to take this opportunity to compete for the first place. Because Zhang Zhankui was famous in the martial arts world, Zhang Zhijiang specially invited him to serve as the chief judge of the conference.
At that time, among the people who came to participate in the competition, there was Zhao Daoxin.
At that time, there was no protection in the competition, and there was no martial arts level, and it was all based on two fists.
In this case, Zhao Daoxin, who had a sharp hand, relied on his profound martial arts to slash six generals through five levels all the way, and finally won the first place in his level. And he also became famous in one battle, becoming the youngest martial arts master.
Li Daoli, an influential figure in the Martial Arts community in Shanghai, valued Zhao Daoxin very much, so he invited him in every way and eventually left him. During that period, Zhao Daoxin successively served as a martial arts instructor for the "Wu Society", "JingWu Society", "Youth Guoshu Society", and "Shanghai Taxation Institute".
Zhao Daoxin's thirst for martial arts never stopped. When he was a coach, he heard that Wu Yiyi, the master of the Eight Techniques of the Heart Liuhe Eight Techniques, was living in Shanghai, so he went to the door to learn the art. Under the careful teaching and hard cultivation of Wu Yiyi, Zhao Daoxin learned his stunt skills, and also gave an example of three, combining the Mind Six Eight Technique Fist with the Shape Intention Bagua Fist that he had previously learned, and finally optimized the two sets of boxing techniques from the aspects of technique and attack and defense.
Zhao Daokui was a new human in the martial arts world. General martial arts masters will wear long shirts and long coats, but Zhao Daokui likes to wear suits. So every time I took a picture with Master, he was the most conspicuous, because everyone else was in long robes.
Of course, Zhao Daokui, who is a martial arts master, also has a very direct style of acting, he is not good at words, and his personality is introverted. So when someone is looking for trouble, he is good at doing it.
Once, Zhao Daoxin was teaching in the library. Suddenly, a Japanese samurai broke in, speaking ill of him and wanting to compete with Zhao Daoxin.
Zhao Daoxin had no intention of starting a dispute with him, but the Japanese samurai did not choose to say anything, saying that he had never met a warrior who was good at fighting in Shanghai for many years, and that he was all a sick man of East Asia. When Zhao Daoxin heard this, he was furious, so the two of them held a contest in the museum. As a result, Zhao Daoxin used two moves to beat the Japanese samurai to a mile away, fell to the ground, and could not get up for half a day.
The Japanese samurai knew the strength of Chinese martial arts, and after struggling, they walked away without words.
After liberation, Zhao Daoxin wrote a book on his lifelong martial arts, and at the same time he also recruited apprentices to teach martial arts.
However, when it comes to the past, Zhao Daoxin has never recognized Wang Qianzhai as his master, and bluntly said that Wang Qianzhai did not teach him anything. Although Wang Qianzhai's disciples stood up at that time to prove that Zhao Daoxin was Wang Qianzhai's most valued apprentice. But Zhao Daoxin still vigorously denied it, which could not help but make people feel strange.
In the end, it was Zhao Daoxin himself who said the reason.
It turned out that when Wang Qianzhai taught Zhao Daoxin, he mainly let him learn to stand on the pile. But Zhao Daoxin always liked to practice explosive power, and he simply did not have the patience to stand for several hours. Therefore, he refused to do it according to Wang Qianzhai's requirements, but instead took a big pole to practice explosive power all day long.
In addition, when Wang Qianzhai and Zhao Daoxin competed in martial arts, Zhao Daoxin never fought vainly, but instead exerted his strength everywhere. At first, Zhao Daoxin and Wang Qianzhai still won and lost each other, and later, as Zhao Daoxin's martial arts became more and more exquisite, it became more and more difficult for Wang Daozhai to win Zhao Daoxin. Once, Wang Qianzhai suddenly knocked Zhao Daoxin down with a yin move, but Zhao Daoxin then found an opportunity to kick Wang Qianzhai and kicked Wang Qianzhai for half a day.
Obviously, Wang Qianzhai was wary of Zhao Daoxin's apprentice, plus his best standing pile and push hand were not the kung fu that Zhao Daoxin wanted to practice, so Wang Qianzhai gradually became cold to Zhao Daoxin and cultivated Yao Zongxun.
After the rise of Yao Zongxun, Zhao Daoxin asked Wang Qianzhai how Yao Zongxun's martial arts were? Wang Qianzhai only replied indifferently, unlike yours.
It can be seen that Zhao Daoxin and Wang Qianzhai originally knew differently in boxing, and coupled with Zhao Daoxin's martial arts at that time, they were already on par with Wang Qianzhai. Under such circumstances, can Zhao Daoxin still think that Wang Qianzhai has anything to teach him?
In addition, the reason why Zhao Daoxin worshipped Wang Qianzhai as a teacher was mainly advocated by Zhang Zhankui. As Zhang Zhankui's apprentice, he naturally listened to Zhang Zhankui's arrangements. It was only after he learned martial arts with Wang Qianzhai that he learned that Wang Qianzhai's martial arts were not the type he liked.
But then again, one day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father. What's more, Wang Qianzhai also adopted Zhao Daoxin as a son of Gan, giving him the name "Zhao Daoxin", which is the father in the actual sense. Even if Wang Qianzhai couldn't beat him later, it was also better than blue out of blue, which would have been a good thing. As for not liking Wang Qianzhai's kung fu, it could not be a reason for Zhao Daoxin to deny Wang Qianzhai . It's as if a person doesn't like math and can't say that the math teacher is not his teacher. Therefore, although Zhao Daoxin was a generation of masters, his approach in this way was a bit contrary to martial arts ethics, which was really inappropriate.
