I'm telling you seriously.
The general context is this:
the Spring and Autumn Period
During this period, the atmosphere of cultivating scholars was very strong. Most of the guests are swordsmen, such as Yue Nv, Zhuan Xu and Jing Ke, but there seems to be no genre and handed down works.
Han/Han/Chinese/human
Due to the popularity of ring-handle knives, the actual combat position of swords began to decline, but fencing became popular in society, and practicing fencing became a trend. There were some swordsmanship works in the Western Han Dynasty. There are 38 books on kendo in Han Dynasty, named Han Shu.
the Tang Dynasty
Sword dance became popular, but the sword was widely used, and the development of fencing was stagnant.
Yuan dynasty (1206- 1368)
In order to pierce the chain mail of the Middle East army, the Mongolian army was equipped with swords again. After conquering the Song Dynasty, fencing in China was revived.
In Qing Dynasty, Song Zai Feng wrote A Record of Sword Techniques, which summarized the sword techniques of past dynasties. It is said that someone can get this book for you now, but the price is higher. You can find a website on the Internet to provide the reproduction and dissemination of rare books and ancient scrolls, but I think the fee is high.
From the historical review I gave you, it can be seen that even the things mentioned in this book should have been written by people who thought about ancient swordsmanship in the Qing Dynasty. Even the Mongols re-recognized the sword after it was widely used in the Tang and Song Dynasties. So the truth of ancient fencing should be invisible.
A sword is better than a knife, because it is easier to pierce when dealing with chain mail. So from this perspective, fencing and fencing are more important than stabbing and not cutting. Family talk, you study slowly. I wish you success and carry forward the ancient fencing of our country again.
The following websites just tell you that their fees are relatively high. Because ancient rare books are hard to find, the fees are high, which may be the reason.
Zhuangzi's fencing is not a record of fencing as some people (who told you, ignorance is terrible) said, and the full text is not difficult to find. As follows:
Zhuangzi said the sword:
Yesterday, Zhao Wen, Wang Xijian and the swordsman caught up with the door, with more than 3,000 guests. They collided with each other day and night, killing more than 100 people. It will never be too good. If it takes three years, the country will decline and the princes will seek it.
The prince was very worried, so he raised his right hand and said, "Who can say that the king will stop the swordsman and give them a daughter?" Say around: "Zhuangzi can."
Prince is to let people use thousands of dollars to serve Zhuangzi. Zhuangzi took the messenger to the prince and said, "Why did the prince teach Zhou and give him a daughter?"
The prince said, "I heard that the master is wise and wise, and I am willing to sacrifice my daughter with money." If you accept it, don't you dare say it! "
Zhuangzi said, "Those who heard that the prince wanted to use Zhou were also very dissatisfied with the king. The messenger said that the king disobeyed the king's will, and if he was not a prince, he would be punished by the body and die. What did Shang Zhou Ann do? The messenger said that the king is a king and he is a prince. What does Zhao Can want? "
The prince said, "Of course. My king only looks at swordsmen. "
Zhuangzi said, "Promise. Zhoushan is a sword. "
The prince said, "However, all the swordsmen my king saw had their heads sticking out of their temples and their crowns hanging down. They wear bearded tassels and short clothes, but it is difficult to talk. Wang Nairu said. Today, the Lord will be convinced by Confucianism, and when he sees you, things will be greatly reversed. "
Zhuangzi said, "Please wait for the sword suit." After three days of sword therapy, I met the prince. The prince was with the king, and the king took off his white blade to treat him. Zhuangzi refused to enter the temple gate and worship the king. The king said, "How can I teach the prince first?"
He said, "I heard about Wang Xi's sword, so I saw the king carrying it."
The king said, "How can the sword of the son be forbidden?"
He said: "The sword of the minister, one person takes ten steps, and a thousand miles does not leave a line."
Wang Dayue said: "The world is invincible!"
Zhuangzi said, "The husband is a swordsman, show his weakness, exploit his advantage, then push it out and achieve it. I am willing to give it a try. "
The king said, "If the master doesn't order him to put on a show, he will give it up."
Wang Naixiao was a swordsman for seven days, killing and injuring more than 60 people. After killing five or six people, he gave his royal highness a sword called Zhuangzi. Wang said, "Try Shi Dunjian today."
Zhuangzi said: "I have been looking forward to it for a long time."
The king said, "How long is the stick made by the master?"
He said, "I can give anything I want. However, I have three swords, which are for the exclusive use of the king. Please say it first and then try again. "
The king said, "I want to smell three swords."
He said, "There are heavenly swords, prince's swords and Shu Ren's swords. "
The king said, "Where is the sword of the son of heaven?"
Yue: "The sword of the son of heaven, with Shicheng in Yan Xi as the front, Qi Dai as the base, Jin and Wei as the spine, Zhou and Song as the shovel and Han and Wei as the clip; Wrapped in four changes, wrapped in four seasons; Around the Bohai Sea, there are long mountains; The system is based on five behaviors, and the theory is based on criminal morality; Yin and Yang open, spring and summer hold, autumn and winter. This sword is straight and supreme. It has no grid and no edge. It is a cloud and a Jedi commandment. When this sword is used, the princes will be conquered and the world will be served. The sword of the son of heaven is also. "
King Wen Li was at a loss and said, "Where's the sword of the vassal?"
He said: "The sword of princes is based on the knowledge of warriors, honesty, virtue, loyalty and holiness, and arrogance." This sword has no front, no top, no bottom, no side; Removing the law will make the balance, make the four seasons peaceful, neutralize public opinion and protect the four townships. When this sword is used, it will be like the shock of thunder. Within four letters, all the people will obey your orders. The sword of this warlord is also. "
The king said, "What about Shu Ren's sword?"
Yue said, "The sword is hard to read, with prominent sideburns, drooping crown and short coat. Hit each other in the face, cut off the neck and neck collar, and cut off the liver and lungs. Shu Ren's sword is tantamount to treating a chicken. Once dead, it is useless to national affairs. Today, the king is the son of heaven, and he is good at using Shu Ren's sword. I stole it for the king. "
Wang Nai led him to the temple. Kill for food, Wang Sanhuan. Zhuangzi said, "Your Majesty, sit still and hold your breath. The sword has been drawn. "
So King Wen did not leave the palace in March, and all the swordsmen killed him for him.
How can I put it? Swordsmanship includes mental method and body method, that is, routine. Because ancient swordsmanship has been lost for a long time (see the context I wrote for you), even if you find these secrets of mind in ancient books, it is difficult for you to find a posture or routine to study. The real ancient fencing has been lost. But those swordsmanship that are circulating now can still be learned. Just like ancient metallurgy, people can't know how the ancients found the best technical way. I can only feel it. Moreover, Gu Jian's smelting technology has been retained or developed by itself, which is much stronger than we are now.
