In the movie, Gong Baotian deliberately came to the south from the north to study martial arts before retiring, and finally tied with Wing Chun and Ip Man.
But in fact, according to the records circulated in Wulin, the real situation is just the opposite. At that time, a southern martial artist named Ye Yongchun came to the north to challenge him. As a result, the master of the eight diagrams palm, Cheng Yi, shook him out.
This process is Gong Baotian's uncle; His unique skill is the sixty-four-hand eight diagrams in the movie.
Compared with Cheng, Gong Baotian is a junior. He was born in December of Tongzhi decade. He was born in Rushan, Shandong Province, and grew up in a poor family. He has no choice but to do some short-term work to make money. /Kloc-When he was 0/3 years old, he was introduced as an apprentice in Yuan Heng Rimi Store, responsible for delivering rice to various palaces.
In the process of delivering rice, Gong Baotian not only gradually got to know people, but also got to know Yin Gang, who is delivering rice to the hospital. This Yin Fu is not a simple person. He is the proud disciple of Dong Haichuan, the head of the imperial court in the Qing Dynasty and the ancestor of the gossip chain palm, that is, the younger brother of Shangcheng.
Yin observed and studied many times, and decided that Gong Baotian was a rare talent to practice gossip, so he led Gong Baotian to visit his teacher Dong Haichuan. This is Gong Baotian's first visit to his master Dong Haichuan. Dong Haichuan held his hand and studied, saying? Rare, rare! ? Then let Yin Fu give birth to teaching.
In this way, Gong Baotian resigned from Mihang's errand and was officially accepted as an apprentice by Yin Fu. Yin Fu also took special care of Gong Baotian. He taught him every movement, every move, corrected it repeatedly and practiced it thousands of times. It is said that Yin Shi will give Baotian a wooden bowl every day. When you sweat, you can catch it with it. When the sweat fills the wooden bowl, the day's practice is over.
Five years later, Gong Baotian was awarded the secret sect of Bagua Palm and the spectrum of Bagua Boxing by Dong Haichuan himself because of his diligent study and rapid progress in martial arts, and became the second generation descendant of the authentic Bagua Palm.
In this way, 23-year-old Gong Baotian has become a master of kung fu, and he has developed a perfect kung fu, especially his flying skills, which are superb. Palace monkey? .
How powerful was Gong Baotian's martial arts at that time? It is said that once Gong Baotian's friend asked him to shine, Gong Baotian swept away his eyes and saw a teacup full of tea, so he grabbed it. One? Please. Before the word landed, people had reached the top of the building. In the blink of an eye, Gong Baotian had landed gently, and the tea in the cup was still there.
Later, Gong Baotian became more and more famous. Cixi called him into the palace to be the head of the guards and sealed four guards with a knife.
Later, Eight-Nation Alliance went to Beijing, and Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu fled to xi 'an, where Gong Baotian was personally protected and appreciated by Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu? Yellow jacket? A collar.
However, Gong Baotian, as the second generation descendant of Bagua Palm, it is not his dream to be promoted and get rich. He has always wanted to really carry forward the Eight Diagrams Palm.
So at 1905, Gong Baotian resigned and went home, and then began to open a museum in his hometown to collect disciples and promote the life of martial arts. Because Gong Baotian was famous all over the world at that time, there was an endless stream of applicants.
After seventeen years, until 1922, Gong Baotian was invited by warlord Zhang to be a martial arts coach and bodyguard, and Gong Baotian was a genius again.
However, when Zhang saw Gong Baotian's true face, he found that he was just a thin old man with a poor appearance, so Zhang was greatly dissatisfied with Gong Baotian's face at that time and felt that Gong Baotian was a hollow reputation in his mind.
Gong Baotian saw Zhang's mind at a glance, so he proposed to use his flying skills to compete with Zhang's marksmanship. At that time, Zhang's marksmanship was called pot calling the kettle black, which showed how strong it was. However, during the competition, Gong Baotian stood twenty paces away, and Zhang fired two shots at him, but both missed.
When Zhang tried to open the third snatch, he heard Gong Baotian say behind his back. If I want to kill the guard, I'm afraid I don't have to turn around. ? It turned out that Gong Baotian took advantage of the gap between Zhang's shooting and quietly ran behind Zhang in actual combat, hitting the back of his head with Zhang.
Seeing this, Zhang was deeply impressed and appointed him as the governor and head coach of the three northeastern provinces. Later, Gong Baotian repeatedly protected Zhang from Japanese-made troubles. /kloc-in the spring of 0/928, Gong Baotian was ordered to stay behind to protect Zhang Xueliang. As a result, Zhang was killed by the Japanese in the Huanggutun incident.
Gong Baotian, who had no peers, was very sad after hearing the news. Later, Zhang Xueliang retreated and merged into the west. He resigned and returned to his hometown for the second time.
In his later years, Gong Baotian recruited disciples in his hometown, taught them carefully, and trained a large number of descendants of Bagua Palm. His favorite disciple, Wang Zhuangfei, became the third generation master of Bagua Palm after the founding of New China. Another disciple, Liu Yunqiao, became the real master of Bagua Palm in Taiwan Province. 1943, Gong Baotian died at the age of 72.
