What kind of person is Ye Wen in history, and how did he become a master of Wing Chun?
Born in a prominent family, martial arts is only for physical fitness.
Foshan has always had a splendid martial arts style. Famous southern martial arts masters, such as Huang Feihong, Zhang Hongsheng, Liang Zan and Feng Xiaoqing, are all from Foshan.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, there was a rich family named Da in Foshan. Sangyuan, located in Fuxian Road, Foshan, has occupied half the street, and its wealth can be imagined.
18931June 10, Ye added a young master named "Ji Wen", who was later a wing chun master. Ye's family education was strict, and he received a strict Confucian education from an early age. However, this young master prefers three things: playing with guns, shooting birds and kung fu!
At that time, Ye's ancestral temple was rented to the successor of Wing Chun Quan nicknamed "Huahua" as a martial arts school. At the age of six, Ip Man saw Professor Chen Huashun's Wing Chun, and he had to learn it. Ye Wen's mother thinks that Ye Wen is young and weak, and learning some kung fu is always good for her health, so she agrees to learn from her teacher.
Although Ye is young, he is loved by his 70-year-old master. Chen Huashun's son stole his medical books and martial arts books and pawned them for sixty taels of silver. When Chen Huashun redeemed the book, he just gave it to Ip Man. Chen Huashun has been teaching boxing for 36 years and has taken 16 apprentices. Unexpectedly, this closed apprentice became his successor in the future!
Ye entered the apprentice for more than three years, but Chen Hua died by the way. On his deathbed, he was still thinking about this young disciple and repeatedly told his second disciple, Wu Cuosu, to take care of him.
Adventure in Hong Kong, Uncle Shi is a true story.
From 65438 to 0908, Ye Wen was sponsored by his in-laws Pang Weiting and went to Hong Kong to attend St. Stephen's College in Stanley.
In the late Qing Dynasty, China people were called "the sick man of East Asia". At school, British and American students often bully China students. Ye was short and handsome, and became the target of their bullying. Who knows, IP Man fought back and beat the fleeing students out of the water. Later, foreign students who had studied boxing and fighting came to challenge and were defeated by IP Man. Gradually, IP Man became famous for his kung fu.
One day, a boy named Feng in Foshan, who is also a small boss of "North-South Tour", said that his family had an uncle. He heard that IP Man could play wing chun and was from Foshan, so he invited IP Man to meet him in the North-South Tour.
When they meet, shi bo will hold hands with Ip Man. Ye Wen, the "Three Heroes of Wing Chun", rarely met his opponent after his debut. Without saying anything, he took off his robe, put it on the coffee table and held hands with each other. When they held hands, Ip Man was stunned. He remembered that Master had said before his death: Don't be afraid when you meet a difficult opponent, that person's skill is limited; But be careful when you meet an opponent who sticks his hands like a rotten towel.
Ye asked the second opponent of the meeting at this time. He has no way to attack in the hands of that uncle. As soon as he touched his "unique skill", he gently showed it to others, but he couldn't even see clearly how the other person's hands and feet moved. But the other party didn't mean to hurt him. Ye was very excited and suddenly had a seizure. The result was suddenly knocked down by Shibo with "missing arm".
The young IP Man was embarrassed after his failure. He picked up his robe and left without saying a word. Three days later, my uncle asked Ye Wen to meet again and said, in fact, you are quite good. Do you want to learn better? Q: I came to Hong Kong to study. Without money, the Expo said, I will teach you Wing Chun for free. When you finish your studies and return to Foshan, no one can beat you. Then you just have to tell others that Liang Bi is your teacher.
It turns out that this person is Liang Bi, the second son of Wing Chun master Liang Zan. Liang Zan has two sons, the firstborn Liang Chun and the second Liang Bi. The two brothers learned Liang Zan's stunt, Liang Chun learned Chinese medicine and Liang Bi learned Kung Fu. After Liang Zan's death, his drugstore Zanshengtang was handed over to Liang Chun, and the economic power also fell into Liang Chun's hands. There was no income from studying kung fu, so Liang Bi had to ask her brother for money. Too many, brotherhood began to deteriorate.
After Liang Zan's death, his apprentice Chen Huashun probably didn't know that Liang Bi had also studied Wing Chun, so he told people that he was the only descendant of Liang Zan's Kung Fu. To this end, Liang Bi was even more depressed, so she left Foshan and Hong Kong and lived in the north-south lane opened by her friend Feng in Wenxian East Street, Hong Kong. The North-South Bank handles the trade between Chinese mainland and Nanyang. There are many rooms in it, where you can eat and live for free.
In this way, IP Man, who just arrived in Hong Kong, met Uncle Liang Bi by chance. From then on, I studied wing chun with him until IP Man left Hong Kong in 19 13.
Wing Chun is a woman's fist?
It is said that the founder of Wing Chun is a native of Hubei, named Tan Shouwu. Formerly known as Zhang Wu, he is good at traditional Chinese opera and martial arts, especially Shaolin martial arts. During the Yongzheng period, he fled to Foshan, set up Qionghua Guild Hall, and taught all his martial arts to Red Boat disciples. Wing Chun's style of play insists on short-distance short-distance assault, which fully conforms to the characteristics of narrow space and drifting on the ship. For the anti-Qing righteous lurking on the red boat, Wing Chun is the most suitable for self-defense.
No matter where Wing Chun Quan originated, since Liang Zan opened Yiguang Pharmacy in Foshan, the historical inheritance of Wing Chun Quan has been clearly recorded. However, there were not many apprentices in Liang Zan's life, only Liang Bi, the second son of He Liang, was nicknamed "Huahua". Wing Chun, whose occupation is guidance, began in Chen Huashun. Coincidentally, Yip Man, a great master, studied under Chen Huashun and Liang Bi respectively in Buddhist countries, and won the Wing Chun championship, becoming an unparalleled master.
Extraordinary martial arts, many times to show their talents.
19 13, 20-year-old Ye Wen bid farewell to Liang Bi and returned to Foshan to inherit his ancestral business. At this point, his wing chun has advanced by leaps and bounds. Some people mistakenly think that he has learned other martial arts and regard him as a "traitor."
As we all know, Wing Chun Boxing is a kind of martial arts that looks very simple, but it actually contains exquisite Austrian philosophy. Although Chen Huashun is good at martial arts, due to his limited knowledge, it is difficult to pass on the subtleties he knows to the next generation. Therefore, Liang Bi's martial arts may not be as good as Chen Huashun's, but she can be an excellent martial arts master, Ip Man. Ip Man's ability to become a master in the future is not unrelated to his own knowledge and accomplishment. While studying in Hong Kong, he constantly absorbed modern scientific knowledge, and often explained boxing with mechanical principles and geometric angles.
Because of his noble birth, IP Man never liked to be like other martial artists, with thin arms, a gauze belt around his waist and thin military boots on his feet. He pays a.
On one occasion, IP Man and his cousin went to see the "Autumn Color" parade. He looks like a weak son in a robe and velvet shoes with thin soles. I met a warlord platoon leader on the road and wanted to touch his cousin. Just then, IP Man suddenly stepped forward and used his usual Wing Chun method, and the other party immediately fell to the ground. The local warlord who had been oppressing the people was defeated by a gentle scholar. How can he swallow this tone? When the other side got up and pulled out his gun, Ip Man turned around, held the other side's revolver thunderously, and directly pressed the wheel of the revolver with the power of his thumb, bending the wheel core so that it could not be launched.
In order to make a living, opening a martial arts school attracted criticism.
During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, all industries and businesses in Foshan were controlled and occupied by the Japanese. Ye's life is in trouble, and he often has three meals. When Ye Wen's kung fu was heard by the Japanese gendarmerie, he was asked to be a martial arts coach of the gendarmerie, but Ye Wen flatly refused. He said, "a person's national integrity is more important than anything else, and there can be no ambiguity on this issue!"
After War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, IP Man was invited to work in the criminal unit of the county government because of his unique skills, and was responsible for chasing thieves. He personally detected the robbery in Shafang, Foshan, and personally arrested the robbers in Shengping Theater on Shengping Road, which was quite appreciated by his superiors. Later, Ye Wen served as the patrol captain of Guangzhou Southern District. One day, IP Man led his subordinates to chase a recidivist in a busy city. My colleague had a whim and asked Ye Wen if he could catch recidivists with his bare hands. Ye handed the pistol and handcuffs to his colleagues, quietly walked over, three times, five times and two times, and firmly grasped the recidivist. The story spread all over Foshan at once.
1949, IP Man came to Hong Kong. In order to solve the problem of life at that time, IP Man accepted the arrangement of Liang Xiang, chairman of the hotel trade union, and publicly taught Wing Chun in the hotel association in Kowloon. Gradually, due to the large number of scholars, IP Man expanded the venue many times and taught in several martial arts schools for several nights. It was from IP Man to Hong Kong that Wing Chun flourished.
Wing Chun is a simple, straightforward and practical kung fu, so Ip Man attaches great importance to the basic training for beginners. For example, there is no time limit for the basic teaching of Wing Chun Boxing, from the correct technique, the coordination of waist and horse to the exertion. Only when learners can meet the requirements can IP Man teach new courses. He is never stingy.
Ye Wen usually doesn't like to talk, and even he admits that he is "not eloquent". If he wants to say a few words in public, he will feel thirsty. He is introverted and arrogant. He expresses himself with his fists all his life, but rarely talks about it. Once satirized as "misleading children", he said that he had "four don't teach": people who have no money don't teach because they can't afford to learn; He doesn't teach if he has less money, because he wants to collect more money; Smart people don't teach because they are afraid of learning too fast; Don't teach those fools, because it's not much better anyway.
In fact, it seems too much to say that IP Man deliberately twisted some moves to fool his disciples. However, Ye Wen, who comes from a wealthy family, thinks highly of himself. How can he patiently and meticulously teach those disciples who are considered "ordinary"? Coupled with his subtle old-school Confucian style, he was too lazy to pay attention to his disciples' mistakes. Until the death of IP Man, ten of his disciples, including Huang Chunliang, Bruce Lee and Liang Ting, became famous one after another and were cleared of charges.
Master Wen not only practiced martial arts in his later years, but also enjoyed drinking tea with his disciples or friends in the teahouse. I play mahjong occasionally. Zhong, he likes cricket fighting best. Sometimes he and his fellow villager Liang go to see the fighting dog, which is a snake-shaped mink.
197265438+In February, Ip Man died in Hong Kong at the age of 79. Wing Chun Quan people unanimously praised him as a master of Wing Chun Quan School.
