Introduction of sects-Shaolin
Shaolin Temple was founded in the 19th year of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty (AD 495). At that time, Batuo, a monk from Tianzhu, trudged from the Western Regions and was respected by Emperor Xiaowen, a devout Buddhist. Seeing that Songshan Mountain, which consists of Taishi Mountain and Shao Shi Mountain, looks like a lotus flower, Posto intends to build a Zhonghe Hall in "Hua", so Emperor Xiaowen built a Shaolin Temple in Shao Shi Mountain to support Posto. More than 30 years later, bodhidharma, a monk from Southern Tianzhu, came to Shaolin Temple to recruit disciples and preach Zen, and became the founder of Zen in China.
Dharma, the full name of bodhidharma, comes from Nantianzhu, a Brahmin caste, claiming to be the 28th ancestor of Buddhism and Zen. Liang Wudi sailed to Guangzhou during the Southern Dynasties. Liang Wudi believed in Buddhism, and Dharma went to the Southern Dynasties to visit Liang Wudi. However, the interview failed, so he crossed the river, went north to Luoyang, the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, stayed in Songshan Shaolin Temple for nine years, and passed on his mantle to Hui Ke. After that, I traveled to Yumen for life. Tian Ping of the Eastern Wei Dynasty died in Robin in the third year (AD 536) and was buried in Xiong 'er Mountain.
Buddhism began to spread Zen in China, "pointing directly at people's hearts, becoming a Buddha by nature, not speaking out and teaching people", which was vigorously promoted by the second ancestor Hui Ke, the third ancestor Monk Can, the fourth ancestor Daoxin, the fifth ancestor Hongren and the sixth ancestor Huineng, and finally blossomed and became the first gate of Buddhism in China. Later generations respected Dharma as the ancestor of Zen in China and Shaolin Temple as the ancestor of Zen in China.
Since Li Shimin became the King of Qin, Shaolin Temple has forged an indissoluble bond with the Li Dynasty. Shaolin monk soldiers were originally an armed organization established to protect monasteries from social wars. By the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty took Zheng as the title of the country, called the king emperor, and appointed his nephew Wang Renze as the general, and set up heavy troops to build a city in Baijiazhuang to stop the king of Qin from advancing eastward. In the third year of Tang Wude (AD 620), great-grandfather Li Yuan ordered his son to lead various armies to conquer the king, and Li was defeated in the first battle. At this time, thirteen Shaolin monks, including Cao Zhi, Hui Xi and Tan Zong, who were stationed in Baijiazhuang, were dissatisfied with Wang Renze's occupation of the Shaolin Temple fief and "led the public to reject the false teacher". General Manager Tan and other 13 monks raided Bing Zheng Camp at night, but Wang Renze was captured alive and presented to Li Shimin, which made great contributions to the unification of the whole country by the King of Qin. After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he greatly rewarded the monks of Shaolin Temple, giving it 40 hectares of land and a water mill. Thirteen stick monks were rewarded, and Tanzong was named general.
After the baptism of war, Shaolin Wushu has become more and more mature. When Wu Zetian was a generation, Shaolin tried every means to preserve Li's blood, and together with the government, it became the solid backing of the Li family. In the battle of Guangming Temple, Shaolin monks showed great power, and the orthodox power of Shaolin Wushu reappeared in the rivers and lakes. From then on, everyone knows that if you want to be an enemy of Datang, you must first go through Shaolin Temple. In Yang's generation, he wanted to eradicate Shaolin, a sect that influenced many ministers in North Korea. While controlling the Shence Army to suppress Ce Tian House, he invited Tianzhu monks to bring down Shaolin.
Introduction to sects-Chunyang
In the seventeenth year of Emperor Wendi (AD 598), Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, was born on his way back to Taiyuan. As soon as I arrived in Taiyuan, someone came to see me and said that the baby would save the world and help the people in the future, so it was named "Shimin". Later, the Taoist priest gave Li Yuan a book: On Kaiyuan Canon. Li Shimin gradually realized the way of nation-building from the book, which helped Li Shimin a lot.
It's a pity that most of the contents of "On Kaiyuan Temple" are about how to conquer the country, and seldom talk about the way of governing the country. However, according to the Taoist saying, there must be a treasure book in the way of governing the country, and the Taoist left a poem saying that this treasure book must produce "pure yang." So after Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, he sent people around to look for a place or person named Chunyang, but there was no result. Later monarchs and princes forgot about it, but only one person noticed the foreshadowing, that is Prince Li Longji. At that time, Li Longji was only 15 years old, and Wuhou was in power. The princes were afraid and had to stay in the palace to study, but Li Longji was determined to find this classic, so he secretly sent his cronies to ask around.
In an accidental opportunity, Li Longji found that in the second year of Shang Dynasty (AD 675), a scholar resigned immediately after winning the list. His name is Lv Dongbin, and his name is Junko. Li Longji vaguely felt that this person was the "pure Yang" mentioned in the poem, so people looked around for this pure Yang. Strangely enough, this innocent Yoko floated to the door and sent Li Longji a book "The Theory of Great Unification", which was all about governing the country.
But it didn't last long. Li Longji learned that one of Wu Zetian's spies accused Li Longji of opposing Wuhou. Without thinking, Wu Zetian immediately sent her most trusted Ce Shen army attendants to secretly execute Li Longji, but the attendants were killed by Li Longji and Haruko in turn. Li Longji knew he couldn't hide it, so he humbly apologized and put forward the theory of "great unification" in front of all the ministers. He made a generous statement: He was about to put forward the Theory of Great Unity, but someone came to steal it in the middle of the night and had to kill it, only to find out that it was God's arrangement. Wu Zetian has nothing to do, and this matter will not be investigated.
This Wu Zetian loves to worship Buddha and immortals. When she saw Chun Yuezi, she would never let him go, so she asked him to pray for herself. Jun Yezi didn't refuse, so he sacrificed to heaven for Wuhou (actually the Great Tang Dynasty) and spent two days in the palace preaching. Wu Zetian was very satisfied with Jun Yuezi and rewarded him greatly. Li Longji took this opportunity to propose to Wu Zetian: build a Taoist temple for Chunyangzi near the capital, so that he can pray for the royal family every day, and it will be more convenient for the emperor or harem to worship in the future; Moreover, Jun Yuezi is a master of the road, and it is a loss for the court to treat him badly. An old man in Wuhou didn't think too much. He just wants to prolong his life. Why not? Lv Chunyang did not reject these court battles, but readily agreed.
In the fourth year of Chang 'an (AD 704), with the support of the imperial court, Lv Dongbin established the pure yang view in Huashan. After Xuanzong ascended the throne, Chunyang got greater development.
Lv Dongbin accepted six apprentices. Among them, Liu, who became a monk with Chunyang before the capital was established, did many things with Master and had deep feelings. In June of the first year of Jinglong (AD 7 10), Tang Zhongzong died, and Wei Hou came to the court and made his son Chongmao emperor. The son of Zong Rui and Princess Taiping staged a coup, besieged Princess Anle, and forced Mao to abdicate and establish. Unfortunately, Xie He is a close friend, so Xie is also regarded as Webster's best friend. Because Xie's martial arts had far surpassed his peers, he went straight to Chunyangmen and issued a letter to arrest Xie.
Although Lv Dongbin knew what his disciples had done, it was a pain of flesh and blood after all. How could he have the heart to give thanks? But the court dignitaries had to give it to him. When they arrived, the two men discussed how to keep Xie He and not clash with the court. After much reasoning, I decided to let Xie Yun go out and hide. As for the imperial court, Lv Dongbin personally went to Beijing to shoulder the heavy responsibility, just to let Chunyang's disciples go. Li Wangsheng couldn't bear to part with Master and couldn't help blaming Master Brother. Lv Dongbin only said, "water under the bridge. Someone has to take responsibility. We can't make many disciples of Chunyang suffer for one person ... "Xie happened to hear the last conversation between the master and the younger brother outside the door, thinking that the master was going to hand himself over to the court and turned around and left. Hearing the sound, he chased out, and Liu used his flying skills to get rid of his master. Lv Dongbin knew he had misunderstood and hurried to catch up. Xie thought that the master wanted to arrest himself and hand him over to the court, so he quickly slapped the master. Unsuspecting, Xie Lian, who has his own seven-point body temperature, took three steps back. Xie Yun hurriedly make a dash for the door. When all the other disciples saw Xie, they all blamed him, but only clearly understood Xie's mood at that time. After Tang Xuanzong knew it, it was not convenient to pursue it again.
In the 23rd year of Kaiyuan (AD 735), Li Wangsheng just took over Chunyang. At this time, the Beggars' Sect is trying to unite with the Wulin factions against Zoroastrianism. Shaolin refused to help, so the beggars turned to Chunyang. According to Yu Rui's suggestion, Li Wangsheng not only rejected beggars' gangs, but also persuaded beggars to cancel the war. Later, the Beggars' Sect and Tangmen were defeated by Weathering Valley. The Beggars' Sect suspected that it was Chunyang, but it has been suffering from no evidence.
Introduction to sects-Ce Tian
Ce Tian House, located in Luoyang, was built by Li Shimin, king of Qin. Later, Li Shimin claimed to be a secret organ in charge of Jianghu affairs. Although suppressed by the Wu and Zhou Dynasties, Ce Tian House became the secret representative of the Tang Dynasty in the Jianghu. The increasing expansion of Zoroastrianism has long been in the eyes of the government. After Xuanzong came to power, he immediately issued the Destruction Order, declaring Zoroastrianism illegal, and the conflict between Zoroastrianism and Ce Tian was inevitable. When the Guangming Temple incident broke out, Ce Tian raided the gathering place of Zoroastrianism high-level, directly killing the four French kings of Zoroastrianism and many high-level. Zoroastrianism suffered heavy losses, only the leader survived, and Zoroastrianism could not advance westward. Since then, the nickname "Wolf of the East Capital" of Ce Tian Tower has spread like wildfire.
Ce Tian was built by Emperor Taizong and Li Shimin. The number is small, but they are all good soldiers. In the eyes of these men, men should be loyal to the country, "selfish, not rich." They don't want to waste too much time, but they always do more in a limited time. They are in a hurry, and there always seems to be endless things to do. After receiving the task, they rode on the bordeaux horse and galloped away. Behind the yard, the coach practiced martial arts with his disciples. They drink occasionally, but they don't make any noise. When standing guard, they are meticulous, upright and kind.
Wearing heavy armor, they were the last line of defense in the Tang Dynasty. Although he has been wandering the Jianghu for many years, he still maintains the military establishment of the early Ce Tian family. All kinds of non-commissioned officers range from teachers to coaches. In fact, they have no real sense of good and evil, good and evil. I don't have any religious beliefs, but I stick to my beliefs. Everything is based on Li Tang.
As an official force entering the Jianghu, everyone in Ce Tian House has been in an awkward position: internally, it is a Wulin wandering around the Jianghu; Externally, they are the defenders of the Tang government, and both sides are far away from them. But they don't care because they are wolves! Wolves don't care what others think. In their minds, nothing is more important and noble than defending their own ideas. In order to maintain the stability of the Tang Dynasty, they did not hesitate to kill God and Buddha, even if it was beyond redemption.
The strength of Ce Tian House is obvious to all, which is mainly due to its gun skills. Although the head of Ce Tian's family is also a famous martial arts master such as Shaolin and Badao, most members of Ce Tian's family are gunmen who learned only after entering Ce Tian. The difference between Ce Tian martial arts and ordinary martial arts is that it is a kind of actual combat martial arts. Although head coach Yang Ning used a wooden gun when teaching martial arts, he always focused on how to use it on the battlefield. Ce Tian House never emphasizes moves or principles, but only requires finding the weakness of the opponent, making quick moves and killing him with one blow. In addition to Li Chengen, Yang Ning and others, others in the Ce Tian family are also very strong. Although they are all martial arts despised by the orthodox Wulin, it is an indisputable fact that these soldiers are not inferior to other chivalrous people.
Another reason that makes the Ce Tian family strong is the famous collective tactics. At that time, the main opponent of the Ce Tian House was a single radical, so the Ce Tian House was dominant in number. According to experience, Li Chengen divided Ce Tian House into four camps: Shi Tian, Tian Qiang, Tiandun and Tiangong. Except for Shitianying, which fought independently, the other three battalions cooperated with each other, with each team 14, and each team leader led the patrol, and the deputy commander took turns to command each team in a unified way. Team members should act in concert and resolutely avoid one-on-one hit, so as to fight more and less. Usually, such group combat drills are often held in Ce Tian Palace. When fighting, whoever attracts attention will take a detour to cover the other side, and everything is in good order. This tactic was invented by Li Chengen, which greatly reduced casualties and successfully covered up the bad strength of a single soldier.
Introduction to sects-seven show
When it comes to Huilongnian, there were no seven Xiufang in the Jianghu at that time, but there was a strange girl in the Wulin named Gong Sundaniang who had an identical brother and sister with her aunt, but few people in the Jianghu could tell them apart. Gongsun's sword dance was famous in the world at that time. Even Tang Zhongzong, the current emperor, couldn't resist inviting his aunt into the palace one year, just to watch Gongsun dance his sword, and Sun Erniang invited him into the palace. A few years later, the day Ernian left the palace, Tang Zhongzong sent her to Fang Yue, Yangzhou. In order not to lose the stunt of sword dance, they set up a Qixiu Square on the bank of Slender West Lake to carry forward the stunt of sword dance.
After more than ten years, Gong Sundaniang and Ernian lived up to Zong's expectations. Twenty orphans they adopted after middle age are now famous in Jianghu, and they are called "Thirteen Women of seven show". They are all excellent women with double major in color and art. Whether they are today's dignitaries or talents of major sects, they are proud to meet Fang Ze.
Now Gong Sundaniang and Ernian have long been indifferent to the world, and Qixiufang has been completely managed by Ye Zhiqing, the head of seven show. Qi Xiufang is different from other sects. Disciples are basically orphans and young women whose hearts are broken by men. Thirteen women in seven show are rescued every year. And what they hate most is a fickle man.
On one occasion, Lu Anxian, the Japanese envoy to Tang Dynasty, got drunk and made trouble in Qixiufang, and his ear was cut off. After returning home, he introduced to the emperor: "The Tang Dynasty was really a magical place, especially the place called Qixiufang. I swear in the name of the gods that women in the Tang Dynasty are really incomparable ... "
Introduction to sects-Wanhua
In the 23rd year of Kaiyuan in Tang Dynasty, Oriental Yuxuan, the owner of Wanhua Valley, traveled around the world, strayed into Qinling Qingyan and lamented that there was such a fairy land in Xishan, so he recruited wise men to live in seclusion here and named Wanhua Valley.
Wanhua Valley can be said to be a school founded by one person in Oriental Yuxuan. Wanhua Valley has won the hearts of all the strange people in the world with its powerful personality charm. For a time, Wanhua Valley became the most advanced and freest place in the Tang Dynasty. All rivers run into the sea, with great tolerance. Wanhua Valley, with its tolerant and tolerant attitude, has become a holy place for all kinds of ideas and talents.
Oriental Yuxuan is omniscient and meticulous in piano, chess and calligraphy. After the establishment of Wanhua Valley, celebrities and martial arts experts were often invited to play chess, drink and play the piano in the valley. Over time, Wanhua Valley has become the most elegant place in the Jianghu, and many celebrities who are tired of Wulin life and sinister officialdom choose to live in seclusion in Wanhua Valley. Wanhua Valley's fame can almost be compared with Changgemen at that time. However, Wanhua Valley is different from Changgemen. Changgemen is a gathering place for poets, paying attention to elegant things such as poetry and songs, while Wanhua Valley can be said to be a gathering place for three religions and nine streams, and all kinds of strange people can find their place in Wanhua Valley.
But now that I'm in the Jianghu, it's hard to stay out of it. It quickly spread on the rivers and lakes that the owner of Wanhua Valley, Dongfang Yuxuan, is actually a Fangjiaren from Chivalrous Island. For some unknown reason, he came to the Central Plains, and at one time the name Chivalrous Island caused a new uproar in Wulin.
It is said that Wanhua Jimmy is divided into seven parts: General Outline, Five Classics, Qi Jing, Shu Jing, I Ching, Qin Jing and Miscellaneous Classics. It took the geniuses living in Wanhua Valley ten years to vomit blood. The content is profound, among which the martial arts classics and medical classics are the most concerned by Wulin people.
The magic of Wanhuagu's medical skill is well known. Walking around the rivers and lakes, it is inevitable that there will be all kinds of injuries. It is said that the medical skills contained in the medical classics have the effect of bringing back the dead, and more importantly, the medical skills of Wanhuagu are the bane of the five poisons. Wulin people who are fed up with the five poisons can't wait to get the medical code as soon as possible.
But the most eye-catching thing is Jason Wu in The Secret of Flowers. It doesn't matter at first, but it was revealed that someone paid a high price to buy it from the Hidden Yuan Club, saying that he wrote part of his martial arts experience into The Secret of Flowers, which immediately reminded everyone of that year. For a time, Wanhua Valley became the focus of Wulin.
