Zi, whose ancestral home is in Anletun, Dongguang, Hebei Province (Cangzhou area), lives in Xiaonanhe Village, Jinghai, Tianjin (now Nanhe Town, Xiqing District, Tianjin). In memory of Huo Yuanjia, a famous patriotic martial artist at home and abroad, his hometown Nanhe Town in Xiqing, Tianjin was renamed Jason Wu on June 65438+ 10/8, 2009.
He is a well-known hero with outstanding martial arts and justice. He inherited the family stunt of "losing fist" and made great achievements in Tianjin and Shanghai. Although his life is short, it is vigorous and full of legend.
Yuen San Wong played Huo Yuanjia's life.
Huo Yuanjia was born in a Tantric boxing family.
His father, Huo Dean, is a bodyguard. Because of Huo's fascination with boxing, many big businessmen hired him as a bodyguard. Huo only guards the poor and innocent people, never guards corrupt officials.
Huo Dean has three sons: Huo Yuanqing, Huo Yuanjia and Huo Yuandong, and Yuanjia ranks second.
It is said that Huo Yuanjia was weak when he was young, and his father, Huo Dian, wouldn't let him practice martial arts. But Huo Yuanjia practiced secretly, and at the age of 24, he defeated a man who defeated Huo Yuanjia's brother and younger brother in five minutes.
Later, Huo Yuanjia founded the Fan Trace Boxing.
As an adult, Huo Yuanjia managed a pharmacy in Tianjin, and later came to Shanghai to hold the "Jason Wu Games" (Jingwumen), which made great contributions to the development of martial arts in China.
In Shanghai, he once defeated the Russian Hercules in the ring (according to the data, the Russian Hercules was defeated by Huo Yuanjia himself). Once, a Japanese Hercules group came to China to ask for a competition. Huo Yuanjia sent his disciple Liu Zhensheng to take part in the competition on the grounds of illness, and finally defeated Japanese Lux.
Jason Wu Sports Association is a martial arts school founded by Huo Yuanjia in 19 10. Huo Yuanjia died a few months after the Jason Wu Sports Association was founded.
Yuanjia was poisoned by the Chamber of Commerce and died.
Huo Yuanjia was sickly when he was young.
His father, Huo, is a famous secret boxing master.
He was worried that Yuan Jia's martial arts would damage the reputation of the Huo family in the future and refused to teach him martial arts.
But Yuan Jia was ambitious, keeping an eye on him every day, observing everywhere, stealing his father's art and passing it on to his younger brother.
Practicing hard in the seclusion of Zaolin outside the house.
After the father knows, he is responsible.
Yuanjia promised never to compete with others and not to humiliate the appearance of the Huo family, so that his father and brother could practice martial arts together.
Yuanjia is talented and has amazing perseverance, while his brother is overactive and is the best among the brothers.
Seeing this, my father changed his old ideas and taught him carefully.
Later, the Yuan family took martial arts as their friends and integrated the strengths of various schools to develop the ancestral "secret boxing" into "lost boxing", which made the ancestral boxing reach a new peak.
In the 22nd year of Guangxu reign (1896), Liu Zhensheng, a great Shandong warrior, came to Tianjin to worship God at the entrance of Yuanjia.
Huo Chaqi's integrity made him a disciple.
From then on, it broke the precedent of Huo Jiaquan's "internal transmission but not external transmission".
Yuan is brave and righteous.
In the 24th year of Guangxu (1898), Tan Sitong was killed in the political reform, and the broadsword Wang Wu (Wang Zibin) took refuge in Guinness and became close friends with Yuanjia.
After Wang Zibin was killed in Beijing, he was made public by Eight-Nation Alliance.
Yuanjia and Liu Zhensheng sneaked into the capital and stole back to the top of the mountain. With the help of Liu E, the author of Travel Notes of Lao Can, they were buried together and made friends.
In the 27th year of Guangxu (190 1), a Russian came to Tianjin and performed in a theater. He advertised in the newspaper, claiming to be the world's first Hercules, and played all over China.
Huo Yuanjia saw the advertisement and heard that the Russians also made irresponsible remarks on the spot, insulting the incompetence of China people. He was very angry. He immediately invited Nong Sun Jin, the owner of Huaiqing Hall, and his apprentice Liu Zhensheng to go to the theatre, and saw the Russian Hercules boasting that he was "the world's first Hercules" on the stage. If the "sick man's country" has the ability, it can compete on the stage.
Huo Yuanjia couldn't sit still in the audience, regardless of everyone's dissuasion. He sprang onto the stage and said bluntly, "I am Huo Yuanjia, the sick man of East Asia, and I would like to compete with you on this stage."
At this time, the translator informed the Russians about Huo Yuanjia's life.
When the Russians heard about Huo Yuanjia's prestige, they dared not neglect it. He hurriedly let Huo Yuanjia into the background. Huo Yuanjia accused the Russians on the spot: "Why insult me, China?" And put forward three conditions: first, re-advertise, to get rid of the saying that Russians are "the world's number one"; The second is to ask the Russians to publicly admit their mistakes in insulting China and publicly apologize; Otherwise, it is the third condition: my teacher Huo will get to the bottom of it and order him to make a decisive decision. How dare a bully is always a coward's Russian lux take part in the competition? Therefore, I have to agree to the first two conditions. I am willing to publish a newspaper to correct and publicly admit my mistake of despising the people of China, and thus leave Tientsin despondently.
In Xuantong Yuannian (1909), the British strongman Ou Paiyin (also known as Obi Yin) advertised in Shanghai and insulted me as "the sick man of East Asia".
Huo Yingyou was invited to Shanghai for an appointment.
Being awed by Huo Yuanjia's fist, the other party threatened Tiger Gold, and Yuanjia, with the support of his friends, promised to mortgage Tiger Gold.
The other party repeatedly delayed, and Yuan Jia advertised in the newspaper, saying, "The world laughs at China as a sick country, and I am a sick man in a sick country, and I am willing to try with healthy people all over the world."
And claimed that "specializing in foreign Hercules, although steel, there is nothing to worry about! Huo Gong's power made Ou Pian run away without daring to fight, even the notaries and handlers ran away.
19 10 June 10, Huo Yuanjia founded the "China Gymnastics Club" (later renamed as the Sports Club) in Shanghai with the assistance of martial arts colleagues such as Nong.
Dr. Sun Yat-sen praised Huo Yuanjia's belief that "to make the country strong, everyone should practice martial arts" and his lofty spirit of making Huojiaquan known to the world. He personally wrote four characters of "Martial Spirit" and presented them to Jason Wu Sports Association.
19 10 In September, the president of Japan Judo Association led more than ten martial arts masters to compete with Huo, who defeated him.
The Japanese hosted a banquet. During the dinner, Huo choked and coughed, and recommended Japanese doctors for treatment. Huo Gong lived an open life and died of accidental poisoning in September 14.
At the age of 42.
After Huo Yuanjia's death, disciples of Wu Jinghui and patriots of Shanghai Wushu held a grand funeral for Huo Yuanjia, and presented an elegy of "Different people have different opinions", which was buried in the northern suburb of Shanghai.
The following year, disciples helped to send the coffin back to Li and moved it to the south of Xiaonanhe Village.
Shanghai Jason Wu Club is coached by Yuanjia's younger brother Yuan Qing and his second son Dong Ge.
Branches have been set up in various places. After more than ten years, Jason Wu has 43 branches at home and abroad with more than 400,000 members.
Legend has it that after Huo Yuanjia was poisoned by the Japanese, his disciple Zhen Chen avenged him.
This legend was first put on the screen by Bruce Lee in the late 1960s and early 1970s (the film Jingwumen, with Bruce Lee as Zhen Chen).
But in fact, there is no Zhen Chen in history.
In addition, there is a long historical novel about Huo Yuanjia, Huo Yuanjia the Hero of Guinness, written by Feng Yunan and published by Baihua Literature and Art.
Through some historical materials researched by the author, the face of Huo Yuanjia, a great warrior, is basically reproduced.
[Edit this paragraph] Former Residence Memorial Hall
Located in Xiaonanhe Village, Xiqing District, Tianjin, Huo Yuanjia's former residence was renovated by 1986 people in Xiqing District, Tianjin, and Huo Yuanjia Cemetery was built to commemorate this famous patriotic martial artist.
1997 renovate Huo Yuanjia's former residence again, expand Huo Yuanjia cemetery, and turn it into "Huo Yuanjia's former residence memorial hall". Huo Yuanjia's former residence memorial hall consists of Huo Yuanjia's former residence and Huo Yuanjia cemetery.
The former residence was built in the early years of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty.
1997, on the original site, it was changed into a courtyard with three entrances and a blue brick house.
Stepping into the gate building of the small courtyard is a screen wall with the word "Fu" embedded in it.
Behind the screen wall are five first rooms, one bright and four dark, one on the left and one on the right of the yard. In the middle of the first room, there is a portrait of Huo Yuanjia, and on both sides are the condolence couplets written by Huo Dongge after Huo Yuanjia's death, "A chivalrous man all his life, a hero in the world".
Sun Yat-sen wrote an inscription for the Jason Wu Games: "Martial spirit" hung high on the wall of Huo Yuanjia's study in Westinghouse.
In the former residence, there are some weapons used by Huo Yuanjia in practicing martial arts, flags of Jason Wu Club and other cultural relics, as well as relics used by Huo Yuanjia before his death.
Huo Yuanjia Mausoleum is located in the south of Xiaonanhe Village, covering an area of nearly one hectare. The whole building adopts axisymmetric layout.
It is composed of Shinto, stone chamber, incense hall, stone archway and sleeping garden.
The cemetery also has an exhibition hall for Huo Yuanjia's life story, including four parts:
First, you Yan's debut.
Huo Yuanjia's former residence II. Work hard and swear national humiliation.
Third, create Jason Wu, strengthen the country and strengthen the species.
Fourth, patriotism should be carried forward.
Huo Yuanjia's coffin was buried here on April 29th, 1989/KLOC-0.
Since the memorial hall of Huo Yuanjia's former residence was built, thousands of patriots have visited it and relived the legendary deeds and touching spirit of patriotic hero Huo Yuanjia.
Today, the memorial hall has been listed as a key cultural relic protection unit in Tianjin and a patriotic education base for young people in Tianjin.
[Edit this paragraph] About the death of Huo Yuanjia.
Poisoning is the most common way to arrange the protagonist's death in martial arts novels and movies. A chivalrous man and hero with high martial arts, great wisdom and noble morality, if he has to die, his death will always be the result of his opponent's despicable conspiracy against him.
Huo Yuanjia died of malicious poisoning by the Japanese army, so it is an economic choice to deal with the plot.
On the one hand, it is relatively simple and easy to weave the plot in this way, and it is no longer necessary to rack one's brains to come up with a fatal weakness like Mr. Homer, but it is thankless; On the other hand, this arrangement can strengthen Huo Yuanjia's martyrdom. Heroes always die with their own bodies. Huo Yuanjia's enmity with the Japanese is not a personal matter. He died with his own body for the righteous cause of the country and the nation, which highlighted the greatness of the hero and made it easier to mobilize the patriotism and unity of the audience.
Therefore, the theory of poisoning, as adopted by many screenwriters, is not entirely due to the laziness or cleverness of screenwriters, but has many considerations.
But that makes him a hero. As far as I know, the theory of poisoning is not groundless, but has certain historical basis.
There is a passage in the historical materials of the early Wu Jinghui: "Rosty Yi, Dr. Ye Qiu, died in Lux (referring to Huo Yuanjia) and has fled back to the cave. His disciples are suspicious. They check the medicine that Lux takes every day and submit it to the public hospital for examination. The doctor in the hospital said,' So is this medicine for chronic lung rot.
This passage was put forward in the History of Wu Jing published by 19 19 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the establishment of Jason Wu Association, which can be said to be the most powerful evidence of poisoning.
Compared with the external cause of poisoning, there is another saying that Huo Yuanjia died of his own disease. Let's call it internal cause.
This internal cause theory involves whether Huo Yuanjia practiced internal strength and whether he got sick, so the concept of internal strength in the history of martial arts novel creation is related to it.
Both the theory of external cause and the theory of internal cause point to the fact that Huo Yuanjia is ill, because he doesn't need to take medicine if he is not ill, and he won't be poisoned if he doesn't take medicine.
The theory of external causes, whether it is poisoning by people inside Wu Jinghui or poisoning by Japanese doctor Akino, is a little trick that Huo Yuanjia made when he was ill and wanted to take medicine.
This raises a question: What is Huo Yuanjia's illness and what caused it? All Huo Yuanjia's death theories inevitably encounter a problem: Huo Yuanjia suffers from lung disease.
The lung is responsible for breathing, and breathing is the entry and exit of airflow. "Qi" is the essence of internal work and is related to internal work.
The external cause theory of Huo Yuanjia's death mainly focuses on what happened after his illness, but it does not explain the cause of his lung disease well, while the internal cause theory pays attention to this point, which can be said to be the biggest difference between the two.
According to Chen Gongzhe, one of the actual operators of the early Jason Wu Club, Huo Yuanjia was originally suffering from hemoptysis, and it often happened. The Japanese sold medicine to Huo Yuanjia, saying that it could cure hemoptysis and lung disease. Huo Yuanjia believed it, but after buying it, his condition got worse.
Chen Gongzhe didn't judge right or wrong when he said this passage. He didn't say that the Japanese poisoned him, but he affirmed the fact that Huo Yuanjia got worse after buying Japanese medicine.
Chen Gongzhe directly pointed out the reason why Huo Yuanjia was ill at the back of this passage. Huo Yuanjia was called "yellow-faced tiger" because he practiced Qigong when he was a teenager, which caused hemoptysis and sallow complexion.
(Fifty Years of Jason Wu Club) Chen Gongzhe's meaning is very clear. He didn't agree to poison. He tends to think that Huo Yuanjia died of improper qigong practice.
