In the history of China's five-thousand-year civilization, there is a splendid and rich Chinese culture, of which martial arts culture is a beautiful scenery that cannot be ignored, the ancients had friends with poetry, friends with wine, and of course, it is indispensable to meet friends with martial arts.
Chinese martial arts in China has a long history, there was a poetry cloud: "When practicing no one seems to be someone, when there is a person like no one", China's martial arts culture can also be described as broad and profound, in the history of Chinese martial arts, there are many outstanding kung fu masters, martial arts everyone, they are not only superb in martial arts, superb martial arts, but also have a correct martial arts attitude, the Chinese martial arts are carried forward, these famous masters have to mention that wang ziping, who was once the vice chairman of the National Armed Forces Association, known as "a thousand pounds of divine power", in fact, most of them only know Bruce Lee, Ip Man and others. There are very few people who know about Prince Ping, so everyone has always been curious about how high Prince Ping's martial arts are, and is he really as powerful as the legend?
Wang Ziping was born in 1881 in Yihe Street, Cangzhou, Hebei Province, a family of martial arts, the family has a certain foundation in martial arts, under the influence of family culture, Wang Ziping has been practicing martial arts since childhood, has a good foundation in martial arts, but in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, the situation is quite turbulent, as a warrior, there is no way to maintain a livelihood, so Prince Pingkong has a skill, but can only go to the sea to do business to support his family.
However, out of his love for martial arts, whenever Wang Ziping went to a place, in addition to buying and selling with people, he was bound to visit the local martial arts masters and learn various skills, and he never gave up practicing martial arts. Later, as the Pressure of the Qing government on the people increased, Wang Ziping had to give up business, and with superb martial arts, he was transferred to the army and became a martial arts instructor in the army.
In 1900, the army ended in failure under the joint strangulation of Chinese and foreign forces, and Wang Ziping had to leave the army in order to avoid suspicion, and then he went to a military martial arts training institute in Jinan to study, where he met Yang Hongxiu, a master of cha boxing.
For a long time in the future, Wang Ziping worshiped Yang Hongxiu, under the guidance of Yang Hongxiu, after hard practice, Wang Ziping's Cha Quan, Tai Chi Chuan, Longquan Sword are quite outstanding, and he is also proficient in leg kung fu such as bouncing legs, it can be said that it is this period of arduous study that makes Wang Ziping change from a lonely and unknown martial arts newcomer to a well-known all-round martial artist. In 1912, the fall of the Qing government symbolized the end of the feudal autocracy that ruled China for thousands of years, when China was in a situation of several major warlords, who had heard of Prince Ping's superb martial arts and wanted to ask Prince Ping to help them train their troops, but all of them were rejected by Wang Ziping, who only wanted to practice martial arts diligently.
In fact, as far as Wang Ziping is concerned, he is not as agility as other martial arts masters, Wang Ziping has a nickname of "King of Thousand Pounds of Divine Power", it is said that when he was once in Shandong, a German challenged him, he directly lifted a large millstone weighing a thousand pounds to smash it at the other side, so that the war became famous, everyone knows that this martial arts master has divine power.
For Wang Ziping, although he did not defect to any warlord, he also wanted to use his own skills to do something practical. In 1919, the Russian Kang Tai'er performed a stunt in Beijing's Central Park, Kang Tai'er was known as "the world's first Hercules", and his performance in Beijing caused everyone to praise and praise.
But Kang Tai'er this person may have heard a lot of praise, some of the eyes are no one, in the process of his performance, the words are full of contempt for Chinese, which makes it difficult for the Chinese on the scene to swallow this breath, at that time, there were some enthusiastic people in the crowd of onlookers who stepped forward, hoping to destroy Kang Tai'er's prestige, but helplessly no one was Kang Tai'er's opponent, which increased Kang Tai'er's arrogance even more.
At this time, Wang Ziping, who was also in the crowd of onlookers, could not hold back his inner anger, and he stood on the stage, three times five divided by two, effortlessly defeated the "Hercules" Kang Tai'er, Kang Tai'er could only slip off the stage in gray, and Wang Ziping's clean and neat audience clapped their hands and applauded.
Wang Ziping is indeed a person with strong martial arts, and the old saying that "if you fall behind, you will be beaten", which does have a certain truth.
In 1921, the American Sullivan united with a few strong foreign Hercules to Shanghai to set up a ring, they played the banner of "All Nations Competition in Martial Arts", claiming to fight all over China, this is not a normal martial arts competition, this is Ming Huanghuang's bullying of Chinese, this insulting provocation caused dissatisfaction in the Shanghai martial arts community, after consultation, they decided to invite Wang Ziping to attack the ring.
Originally it was just a link between the two sides to exchange harsh words, but when Wang Ziping was about to speak on the stage, a foreign big man made a surprise attack, but Wang Ziping was not an ordinary person, he reacted very quickly, not only did not let the foreigners succeed, but also directly beat the big man down, that night, sullivan who launched the provocation fled by boat with those foreigners, I have to say that Wang Ziping once again with his superb martial arts let us Chinese raise our eyebrows again, but also let everyone really realize how high Wang Ziping's martial arts are.
In 1923, Wang Ziping founded his own Chinese martial arts club, which trained a large number of outstanding martial arts masters, who also went to the battlefield to kill the enemy during the war, did their best to defend the family and the country, and contributed to China's final victory, and their master Wang Ziping was even more indispensable.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Wang Ziping was recommended as a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, in 1958, China established the National Wushu Association, Wang Ziping was appointed as the vice chairman of the National Wushu Association, this is his affirmation, but also a praise for him, after becoming the vice chairman of the National Wushu Association, Wang Ziping spared no effort to promote the development of Chinese martial arts, and greatly respected the Chinese martial arts culture in the world to carry forward. In 1960, Wang Ziping accompanied Premier Zhou on a visit to Burma, during which time he performed a set of "Green Dragon Sword" at the age of 80, with flexible body style and compelling sword skills to win the applause of foreign friends, which made a deep impression on Chinese martial arts in the hearts of foreigners.
For Wang Ziping, martial arts accompanied him all his life, he seems to be born for martial arts, with "thousand pounds of divine power" he is gifted, and after continuous practice the day after tomorrow, natural martial arts are superb, martial arts have achieved him, he also carried forward martial arts, he is not only a person who learns martial arts, he also inherits the spirit and attitude of martial artists, and is a true master of martial arts.
In 1973, this martial arts master, who was once the vice chairman of the All-China Armed Forces Association and known as the "King of Thousand Pounds of Divine Power", left us forever, but the classic works he left behind and the martial arts spirit he left behind are worthy of our eternal study and inheritance.
