Martial artist Li Xuanba, the first hero of the Sui Dynasty, made great contributions to the destruction of Sui Jiantang by his father and brother. Therefore, he named the boxing method used by Li Xuanba as "Tang Boxing" in the name of the country name "Tang".
Li Shimin, the second son of Tang gaozu, was a generation of civil and military emperors who practiced martial arts since childhood. He further developed this boxing and later spread it all over the world. Li Shimin became a veritable ancestor of Tang Boxing. There is a formula of a song in later generations:
Emperor Gaozu destroyed Sui after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and Xuanba was the strongest. Bad king can't fight, treacherous court official can't fight.
Create a magical fist to rule the world, and the emperor ascended the throne and became a great man. Tang Taizong's wisdom and courage are perfect, so how can Xuanwu people be safe?
The rule of Zhenguan is popular, and martial arts are still there. Looking back, before the battle between father and brother, the famous "Tang Boxing" was handed down from generation to generation.
In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, this kind of boxing spread widely. In the twenty-five years of Qing Qianlong (1760), Tang boxing was introduced to Cangzhou, and the inheritance of mentoring was not verified before. When Tang Boxing entered Cangzhou, Zhili (now Hebei) claimed to be the descendant (great-grandson) of Li Zicheng, who was traced by the government, and later settled in Beitaoyuan (source) village, Nanpi County, Cangzhou, and changed its name to Musheng. Li Tianxiang was hired as a martial artist from a wealthy family because of his unique skills in Tang boxing and high martial arts. Li Tianxiang spent 10 years in taoyuan village, but only because two officials came after him. In order to avoid bringing trouble to Hou Fu's family, after telling the truth, he pretended to ask the owner of Hou Fu to surrender at night, fight your official and go to the mansion. Since then, there has been no news. During the period of 10, Li Tianxiang had many apprentices in Taoyuan. Up to now, his Tang Boxing has spread all over China (Hebei, Shandong, Jilin, Liaoning, Heilongjiang, Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Shanxi, Henan, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Sichuan, Anhui, Hunan, Hubei, etc.). ). Tang Boxing has been spread in Cangzhou, Hebei Province for ten generations, 160 more than 3000 people, mainly concentrated in Nanpi County. Tang Boxing in Nanpi County honored Li Tianxiang as a successor for the first time.
At first, the inheritance of Tang boxing can be divided into three branches: Liufang, Hanhe. They are all disciples of Li Tianxiang and the second generation of Tang Boxing.
The first branch: Liu Fang (1735- 18 15), a native of Dashujin, Nanpi County, first studied art and nursing home in Taoyuan with Li Tianxiang, and then settled in Zhaiguantun Village, Chengguan Town. He is superb in martial arts. He never goes in or out of the courtyard wall at night, so he can "cross the water". Sometimes it is called "Ma Xiang in the south (born in Zhuangzhuang Village, Dongguang County in the late Qing Dynasty) and Liu Fang in the north". Liu Fang has a wide range of apprentices and has descendants in more than 20 towns such as Nanpi, Botou, Jiaohe and Cangxian. His disciples Sanliu, Li Si, Wu Bingshun, Wang Chunyun and Wu Yusheng-Zhou Changchun; Disciples Feng Li, Li Xiang and other famous villages; People say that Li Xiang practiced sleeping on the bench, with one foot on his head and a stone mill on his body. Then he went up and practiced a big gun on the stone mill. The bench sank deeply into the ground, but Li Xiang was straight and didn't fall down. Li Feng and Li Xiang are bodyguards, and their names are known everywhere in Hebei, Henan and Shandong.
The second branch: Han, born in the ninth year of Qing Qianlong (born in 1744), is called "flying trapeze". Qijiawa people in Nanpi County are skilled in flying and flexible in footwork. He has many apprentices, and Han Yulin can carry on the family tradition. His disciples Qi Bangfeng, Qi Shude, Qi Shuxing and Qi Zhang Shu are famous in rural areas and northeastern provinces and cities. Qi Shuxing is good at double hook and his hand is abnormal. He used to be the coach of Bukuifu in Qiqihar City and concurrently the general manager of Shuang Sheng Escort Agency. He once defeated his former teacher-"Shuang Ji Fang" with the skill of double hook, so he left in the name of "Double Hook and Qi Shu Xing" and "Flower Hook Qi". Qi's flying skills are superb. He once hurt the life of a rich family because of unfair newspaper reports, and then escaped from the prison through the skylight. He was called the "Sun Drilling Rat of Qi".
The third branch: Sun Sheng, born in 1742 in the seventh year of Qing Qianlong, was born in Linqingfu, Shandong. He studied Tang Boxing with Li Tianxiang in Taoyuan for ten years, and his skills were superb. He walked through the pedestrian gate, his body was alive and kicking, and he was praised as "Sun Sheng" by Shi Li, which is quite legendary. Sun Shenghou lives in Liangzhuang Village, Nanpi County and teaches Tang Boxing. The most famous disciple is Kang Liwen of Liangzhuang. Sun Sheng's disciples are numerous and widely distributed, and his descendants are all over Hebei, Shandong, Jilin, Shanghai, Hubei and other provinces and cities.
Kang, the third generation of boxing in the Tang Dynasty, was skilled, with excellent boxing equipment and hard and soft kung fu. He was the most prominent one at that time, and he was known as the "Gun King of Cangnan University". Disciple Jin moved the monks who came to try their art with clever tactics and techniques, and became a legendary story in Wulin. His disciples: Sai Kang (the nephew of Kang), invincible in a hundred miles-Tian Keming, who made a gun out of nothing-Hao Dingfu, known as "Jiang Sijian", the leader of the Boxer Rebellion in Linqing Prefecture, Shandong Province, and others, were said to be second to none at that time, and experts gathered. Later generations also have a verse:
Thousands of years in Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. When Qianlong succeeded to the throne at the age of twenty-five, Tianxiang samurai broke into Wang Zu.
Avoid official stealth to Cang Jing, Nanpi Taoyuan incognito. Since he signed up for Zhili, Musheng was his first step.
Learning martial arts late at night is amazing. Cut to the chase and teach students to practice hard. Tang boxing is a hundred and eight hands, earning a lot of money and walking with him.
The four corners are all praised, and the tree wind is poor. So I made it clear to the master of Houfu, my ancestor Li Zicheng.
I'm unlucky. My minions come to court at night. Send it if you can, don't be tired of hundreds of people.
Is to fight with your officer in the yard. Whoever jumps up and down will take him. Since then, I have nowhere to find. Traveling around the world is really chivalrous.
Nanpi Tang Boxing, the ancestor, has been awarded more than 100 times in ten years. Only three people have high skills, and clothes are difficult to pass on.
Ping Liu can cross the water, and Han Fei can fly to heaven. Sun Shengren, a sage, did not enter, and he was proud of his disciples' wonderful skills.
