With the help of netizens' second creation, it accumulated more than 800 million exposures and click-through rates, which became a phenomenal event on the Internet at that time.
In the video, an old man with bruised eyes speaks nonstandard Mandarin to show his carelessness. As a martial arts elder, he advises a young boxer to "sneak up on him" and "mind his own business".
In another martial arts competition organized by the people spontaneously, the same master Ma Baoguo was knocked down three times by a fighting enthusiast in 30 seconds.
After this farce-like competition, public opinion continued to ferment, and the status of Wushu was once again challenged and questioned by the whole network: Is China traditional Wushu a "showy" and is it really practical?
The answer is yes, as the saying goes, "Wen has Tai Chi to secure the world, and Wu has Eight Extremes to make Kun". In the long development of the Chinese nation, Wushu occupies a decisive position.
Numerous shining giants have emerged in the mighty history, and the legends of Tai Chi master Yang Luchan and Yan Qing mainstay Huo Yuanjia have been sung for a hundred years.
The story to be told in this article is also about a martial arts master-Guo, who, together with Huo Yuanjia and Yang Luchan, was once known as "the Top Ten Masters of the Late Qing Dynasty".
Guo Shenglai is short and his congenital conditions are not outstanding. From an early age, he was full of yearning for martial arts and eager to make some achievements in the Wulin.
But his family is poor and there is no solid economic foundation to support his systematic study. However, I am obsessed with boxing, but I suffer from no famous teacher's guidance. He has been training hard for several years, but with little success.
He knows that it is difficult to make real achievements behind closed doors. As a teenager, he left his hometown alone and embarked on a difficult road of seeking a teacher to study.
I've heard a lot about Mr. Guo in Yizhou, and he studied with Mr. Sun, practicing octupole boxing.
Eight-pole boxing is infinite in strength, and piles are born from the ground. It is a powerful step-by-step move for boxing. Guo Suili studied boxing seriously and improved it day by day.
Seeing that Guo has a good understanding, has made some achievements in octupole boxing, and has great potential for further exploration, and thinks that his strength is limited, it is difficult to continue to guide him, so Teacher Sun recommended him to go to Shanxi to consult Mr. Li Luoneng, a master of Xingyi Boxing.
Guo finally got to know Luo Neng through his fellow villagers, sincerely stated his purpose, and expressed his willingness to worship him as a teacher and humbly ask for advice.
At first, Li Luoneng saw that he was short and didn't want to accept him as an apprentice, but after Guo showed him the octupole boxing he had learned, Mr. Li changed his mind.
I saw that Guo's octupole boxing was powerful, agile, smooth and charming. I couldn't put Li Luoneng down, so I brought it into my family.
In the process of learning boxing with Teacher Li, Guo's initial intention and will to learn martial arts have never wavered. Although he achieved the essence of octupole boxing, he was not complacent.
Guo worked hard with Master to practice Xingyiquan, and at the same time he diligently undertook the chores of Master's family. He is meticulous in irrigating fields and gardening, and is deeply loved by Master both in martial arts and in doing things.
Guo stayed in the school in Li Luoneng for 12 years, and everything he got from Master, the form and rhyme of Xingyiquan, became perfect gradually.
Guo has studied martial arts, but if he wants to further improve his martial arts, he often needs to really understand and break through the accumulation of skills in real fighting. After kowtowing to the teacher, Guo finally left his legacy and stepped onto the earth.
Relying on his skills, Guo traveled all over China, making friends and learning from others.
During the Xianfeng period, Guo gradually accumulated a lot of fame, went to Beijing as a martial artist of the royal family, and met another famous master, Dong Haichuan, a descendant of the Eight Diagrams Palm.
After three days of fighting, the two men still have no idea. After some exchanges, they all agree that Xingyiquan and Bagua Palm have similarities, but each has its own bias. Combining them into one vein, we can learn from each other's strengths and complement each other, and the combination of rigidity and softness can achieve a good situation.
"Where there are people, there are grievances. Where there are grievances, there are rivers and lakes, and people are rivers and lakes. " This sentence by Mr. Jin Yong is a true portrayal of that era.
People who practice martial arts often advocate the nobleness of martial arts. There is a saying: "A great man of chivalry is for the country and the people", and the skills he has not learned should not be used to bully the weak and fear the hard and run amok.
Guo is also a passionate hero. When he sees the bumpy road, he is always duty-bound to lend a helping hand. Unfortunately, he was unlucky, but he ended up in prison.
There was a martial artist named Dou Xianjun at that time. Although he has achieved great success in martial arts, he has never thought of serving the people. Instead, he organized gangs of people to bully the men and women in the village.
On one occasion, Guo happened to bump into him, and Guo Yunshen was angry, so he fought with Dou Xianjun.
Dou Xianjun was beaten like a Buddha because of his poor martial arts, and was about to sneak attack. Guo took a step forward, and when his hand fell, Dou Xianjun died. When people learned about it, they were all very happy.
As a result, Guo was involved in a lawsuit involving human life and surrendered himself to the government. With a piece of paper, he was put in prison and sentenced to prison.
Many great achievements in history were accomplished in prison. For example, during his detention, Zhou Wenwang drew the acquired gossip according to the reasoning and calculus of Fuxi and innate gossip, which became one of the important cornerstones of the development of Yi-ology in later generations.
Guo, too, was imprisoned and lost his freedom, but he was not depressed by it. Instead, he calmed down and concentrated on his studies in a rare closed environment, and his kung fu did not slack off.
Because of its bondage, the foot can only move within half a step. On this basis, combined with the boxing techniques taught by Master Li Luoneng, Guo practiced the "half-step boxing" which will be famous in the Jianghu in the future.
Before serving his sentence, Emperor Guangxu granted amnesty to the world, and Guo took this opportunity to regain his freedom and go up a storey still higher as before.
As moving as a rabbit, as quiet as Mount Tai, the fist broke out at half a step. The punch between talking and laughing seemed to be an understatement, but it could make the screen collapse, so that five young strong men put their long sticks to their stomachs, turned around and raised their hands, and hit five more people with one foot in sequence.
The great fame of "half a step to conquer the world" spread all over the country, and Guo finally became famous for his mighty and noble martial arts.
Guo Yisheng, a master of martial arts, has taught countless disciples and is good at teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, which has made immeasurable contributions to the inheritance and development of traditional martial arts in China.
After the reform and opening up, Half Step Boxing has been listed in the intangible cultural heritage list with its unique style of play and good influence, and has become a wonderful flower in the treasure house of Chinese culture.
China Wushu has come from thousands of years of history, and it was once the foundation of countless warriors who took Wushu as their profession. In fact, its war value is beyond doubt, and Guo's story is the truest portrayal.
However, with the development of the times, when the land is clear, the Haiyan River is clear, and all walks of life are flourishing, the status of Wushu, a knowledge that licks blood with the tip of a knife, has also declined, and it has begun to develop in the direction of performing arts and strengthening the body.
With the lowering of the threshold and difficulty, Wushu has the opportunity to enter thousands of households and become a popular means of fitness and entertainment, quietly benefiting countless Chinese children.
If we talk about the value of Wushu, what Mr. Ma Baoguo mentioned at the beginning may also be a good example. Although his martial arts is not superb, even the "shotgun lightning whip" is somewhat funny and clumsy.
However, such a "69-year-old veteran comrade" can still resist the three punches of a warm-blooded youth. After falling to the ground, he was able to get up again, and his eyes were red and swollen to make a kind speech.
In this way, we can see that his physical quality is at least far above that of his peers, and the effectiveness of China Wushu can also be glimpsed.
