In the Ming Dynasty, the southeast coast was invaded by Japanese pirates, and folk martial arts were very popular. There are often two gyms in Quanzhou village, one is Nanqu Hall and the other is Boxing Hall.
To learn kung fu, besides boxing, we should also use local materials. Besides swords, spears and halberds, we can also make daily necessities, such as hoes, shoulder poles and benches, which can be used as weapons. We can copy it at will, step by step. This is the unique martial arts of South Shaolin.
With the harassment and invasion of Japanese pirates, the soldiers and civilians rose up and rebelled, and many heroes and national heroes emerged. The most famous is "Yulong Qihu". Yu is Yu and Qi is Qi Jiguang.
I am from Heshi, Quanzhou. It is said that his mother is a liar and a river flows through Qingyuan Mountain. When I was young, I often practiced martial arts in Qingyuan Mountain and jumped up and down on a big stone to exercise my courage.
After Yu Jian became famous, this big stone man was called "practicing bravery stone", and Yu wrote the words "Jun En Shan Chong" on it, which became a cultural landscape of Qingyuan Mountain later.
Li, a native of Tong 'an, wandered around the rivers and lakes in his early years and returned to Quanzhou in his later years, living in the Shaolin Temple of Phoenix Mountain, which was also called Dongyue Mountain at that time. Seeing that he is strong, flexible, brave, educated, intelligent and ambitious, Yu said to Yu, "I have been taught by others and am familiar with Shaolin sticks." Are you willing to study and serve your country in the future? "
I was very happy and immediately worshipped Li as a teacher to learn kung fu. One is willing to teach wholeheartedly and the other is willing to study wholeheartedly. After studying hard and practicing hard, Yu finally got the Shaolin stick, which is a real skill.
On one occasion, Li Heyu used Shaolin stick to compete, and Li told Yu to make bold moves to test his kung fu. I didn't dare to surrender my force at first, but Li pressed hard. After some fierce fighting, he told me to let go and fight back. Yu summoned up his courage and showed all the Shaolin stick skills he had learned. After all, the master is old and the apprentice is young, and Li is no match for Yu.
Li was very relieved and said, "shine on you is better than blue, and the afterlife is awesome! My Shaolin stick technique is better than that of a teacher, and it will definitely become a great instrument in the future! "
Later, Yu absorbed Liu Bangxie's stick technique and took the wonderful skill of Lu Yu Yang's gun, making his Shaolin stick technique invincible in the world. At the same time, Yu was familiar with the art of war and became a general with both civil and military skills.
156 1 year, passing through Songshan, Henan Province, I remembered that the Shaolin stick technique taught by my teacher came from Songshan Shaolin Temple, so I drank water and went to Shaolin Temple to play.
In the temple, I watched Shaolin monks practice martial arts, and paid special attention to the stick skills of Shaolin stick monks. I found that it was specious, which was quite different from the Shaolin stick taught by Li Shifu. After careful comparison, I feel that it is much worse than the Shaolin stick technique I have mastered, and it is not like the true story of Shaolin Temple.
So he went to the mountain to visit the abbot of Shaolin Temple and ask him for advice. Shan Zun is an important official of the imperial court and a military commander with brilliant achievements, so he called together thousands of monks who are proficient in stick skills in the whole temple and showed them kung fu one by one.
People on the mountain thought that I would be convinced, flattering and encouraging. Unexpectedly, Yu shook his head and said, "Xiaguan is also proficient in Shaolin cudgel, but it is not the same as what other masters have practiced. If you don't mind, I'd like to make a fool of myself. Please give us your advice. "
When all the monks saw that Yu wanted to learn martial arts, they cheered at once.
So he took off his coat, picked out a long stick, weighed it in his hand and walked out of it. "ah! Hey! Hey! Hey! " Show me the Shaolin stick skills that you have practiced all your life. I saw him advance and retreat, jump, blink, move left and right, move back and forth, defend in attack, defend in attack, dance long sticks like sea dragons, hover and fly up and down. Seeing the monks in Shaolin Temple dazzled, they cheered in unison.
Not only the monks were convinced, but the people on the mountain were also eye-opening, knowing that the Shaolin stick technique in their temple was distorted. Therefore, they begged to teach them, and all monks sincerely demanded it.
South Shaolin and north shaolin are a family. Jade was moved by the monks' eagerness to seek Taoism, and felt that she had the responsibility to teach Shaolin Kung Fu, so she agreed.
Yu told all the monks that in order to learn to be a monk, we must master general tactics, that is, combining rigidity with flexibility, yin and yang, attack and defense, movement, situation assessment, skill and flexible use of hands and feet, which cannot be understood without years of hard training.
However, Yu's military affairs are urgent, and learning martial arts well will not happen overnight. So he discussed with the people on the mountain and chose two monks with the best conditions, one is called Pu Cong, and went south to study with the army.
Yu's stick skill is a collection of hundreds of battles, which pays great attention to practicality. After three years with Pu Cong, they basically learned this stick technique. Jade saw that their stick skills had been achieved, so she sent them back to Shaolin Temple and taught them their stick skills to other monks.
Zong Qing and Pu Cong returned to Songshan Shaolin Temple, but Pu Cong suddenly left without saying goodbye. Monk Zong Qing returned to Shaolin Temple in Songshan and tried his best to teach Shaolin stick skills. After more than ten years of hard work, he taught hundreds of masters, and Zong Qing became a respected monk.
Returning Shaolin stick technique has become a much-told story in Wulin.
It is said that one day after 10 years, I saw the monk again in the military camp in Beijing. Originally, I came to report to Shaolin Temple that monks were practicing stick skills.
Zong Qing said that more than 100 people have obtained the secret of "Yugong stick technique", and it seems that this exquisite stick technique will not be lost again in Shaolin Temple.
I am very happy. Later, he agreed to the request of Shaolin Temple monks and wrote an inscription for the newly-built "Shifang Temple" in the temple. He happily began to write "Newly Built Ten Square Temple Monument" and wrote down his relationship with Shaolin Temple and Shaolin Temple Stick.

Yu not only sent back the real skill of Shaolin sticks, but also wrote a book called Sword Sutra in his spare time, which he learned from his master Li when he was a teenager, combining his years of practice experience with his experience of defeating the enemy in the cold. Because the stick is regarded as a long sword, and the sword sutra is the stick sutra.
As soon as the Sword Sutra came out, Yu's Shaolin stick technique became famous all over the world, and he was called "Yugong stick". Sword Sutra has also become a martial arts classic since the Ming Dynasty.
