Why do you practice martial arts?

In countless film and television dramas, when masters accept apprentices, they like to ask such a question. Of course, the answers were different, and the different answers also decided whether master would accept this disciple or not.

Personally, I prefer Guo Jing's concept of martial arts, which is a dynamic growth. When he was young, Guo Jing had no choice in learning martial arts, and the seven monsters of Jiangnan made a bet with Qiu Chuji to see who taught the apprentice martial arts well, and at this time, Guo Jing was a tool man to put it bluntly.

Later, Guo Jing grew up a little and knew that Xi Wu could protect his mother, while he was carrying a deep vengeance in the sea of blood. He began to practice martial arts for his family. Later, he met Huang Rong and protected his loved ones and the people around him, which became a new motivation for Guo Jing to further seek art from his teacher.

And when Guo Jing became Guo Daxia, he began to guard Xiangyang and protect the border and the people, which is Jin Yong's recitation of "the great hero, for the country and the people". Looking at Guo Jing's history of martial arts, there is an ancient adage: Da ze also benefits the world, and the poor are alone.

Put it now, that is, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, and when the ability is not enough, do yourself well. So, is there anything that can enlighten modern people in Guo Jing's history of martial arts?

Recently, the Ministry of Education has formulated and issued the "Guide to Teaching Materials for Chinese Excellent Traditional Culture into Primary and Secondary Schools". It is mentioned that the curriculum of primary and secondary schools should introduce the initial formation of the theoretical system of traditional martial arts, so that students can understand the gongli and martial arts of martial arts, establish the national defense awareness of learning martial arts to strengthen themselves and defend their families and the country, and cultivate traditional virtues such as self-improvement and courage in seeing righteousness.

Wude, once again became a hot word. The word is old, but it doesn't mean backwardness. It is already recorded in the Zuo Chuan that King Zhuang of Chu said: "Wu has seven virtues" - "Forbidden violence, soldiers, Baoda, Dinggong, Anmin, Hezhong, and fortune-rich people also".

In today's parlance, the "seven virtues" mean: prohibition of rape, elimination of soldiers, maintenance of strength, consolidation of merit, stabilization of the people, unity of the people, and growth of wealth.

You see, more than two thousand years later, these values are not outdated, right? On the contrary, we still have a lot of room for absorption.

There has always been a consensus on our traditional culture: take its essence and remove its dross. Those excellent traditional cultures are actually in line with the development of human nature and civilization.

Wu, as a hieroglyph, originally meant to stop the war. The so-called wenzhi martial arts, martial arts refers to the ability to stop fighting and eliminate truces. When it comes to traditional martial arts, many people may feel far away from us, but in fact, translation and translation are also our common values, such as fairness, justice, bravery, integrity and so on.

Last summer, in Ruian, Zhejiang Province, "Xi Wu Ge" Pan Shoufa went in and out of the fire and rescued three children in two minutes; early last year, in Xuchang, Henan Province, martial arts instructor Li Wensheng tried to catch a car thief.

Not long ago, the 61-year-old British consul general in Chongqing, Shi Yunsen, jumped into the water to save the girl who fell into the water, and also brushed the screen on the Internet. Behind this, in fact, it is inseparable from Shi Yunsen's other identity: the champion of the age group of the Beijing International Triathlon Competition.

I believe that there are many people who have the heart to see righteousness and courage, but there is also a premise that they must have the strength to see righteousness and courage. If we have a good body, we will hold it up when we meet the old man who carries the weight forward; if we have a good set of skills, the road will stop the violence when it is uneven.

Of course, in the traditional concept of martial arts and martial arts, there are also some that do not conform to modern civilization, such as lynching, countering violence with violence, etc., and lack rule of law thinking. Therefore, on the basis of inheriting the fine traditions, we must continue to introduce the old and the new, and even eliminate the old and welcome the new.

Young people, get moving, not only to talk about martial virtue, but also to have a good physique and a good spirit.
