The "whip" in the history of cold weapons
God whip the universe, jade whip the horse. Tighten the wild whip and use it. Your whip is long and your horse is beneficial. Sima He, Sima He and Ma are skinny. -Yuan Zhen's wild whip
Whip, one of the ancient weapons in China, is a short weapon. Whip originated earlier and was very popular during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Whips are soft and hard. Hard whips are mostly made of copper or iron, and soft whips are mostly made of leather. By whip, most people mean hard whip. Commonly used whipping methods include chopping, pricking, whipping, paddling, vertical, pulling, cutting, throwing, stabbing and pulling. In ancient China, Weichi Gong was the most famous whip general, and one of our two most common goalkeepers was the famous Weichi Gong, who made the double hard Strafe.
The shape and types of "whip" in the history of cold weapons
Whip is a short weapon with the same origin as mace, but mace must be used twice. Whips can be divided into single and double, soft and hard. According to ancient records, most of them are single whip and hard whip; Now, it's all soft whips When did the soft whip system begin? Who created it? For Shuang Bian's method, it is suspected that future generations will steal it because they see its dual purpose and the convenience of both attack and defense, so it is easy and difficult. But the whip is a short weapon without a blade, but the form is slightly different; As for the method of attacking the imperial court with LUN dance, the main points are exactly the same, but they can't be very different. The man who created Shuang Bian also saw his dazzling ears. The difference between whips is that the names are different, that is, as far as hard whips are concerned, there are several kinds of whips, such as bamboo whips and soft tiger tails, and the rest are irrelevant; Probably, their names are determined by their shapes. However, due to different names, their methods are also mixed and somewhat different. However, Wei Chi's whipping method is admired by the world, but it has not been handed down, which is regrettable. In addition, the ordinary hard whipping method is mostly composed of short soldiers after sleeping.
Whips can be divided into single whip, Shuang Bian, soft whip and hard whip, and their quality is different from that of copper, iron, ironwood and pure wood. They are completely different from leather whips to drive cattle and horses. However, the seven-segment whip, nine-segment whip and thirteen-segment whip of the soft whip may be related to the whip of driving cattle and horses. There is also a wooden whip, the length of which is the width of one arm plus shoulder, also known as "short whip". Because of its short shape, it is very convenient to use. Iron whip is a hexagon and iron mace is a quadrilateral. "The size is short and long, and you can use manpower." Some whip heads are connected with two iron bars by a short chain, which is called double iron whip. There is also a kind of chain clamp rod, which comes from the northwest and is inspired by the flail of farmers.
Hard whips are mostly made of copper or iron, and soft whips are mostly made of leather. Seven whips, nine whips and thirteen whips are called soft whips. Whips are suitable for horses and foot combat. Hard whips are generally used in horse fights, and those who hold whips often hold Shuang Bian. Strafe is heavy and bladeless. He uses his strength to hurt people. Therefore, people with whips need to be brave.
The soft whip consists of a dart head, a handle, a plurality of iron whip knots and rings. Soft whip appeared in Jin Dynasty, and was considered as a violent hidden weapons, which was hard to resist. It is divided into 7 segments, 9 segments and 13 segments, which is called the nine-segment whip. Easy to carry, long or short to use, both hard and soft. Its techniques mainly include winding, swinging, sweeping, hanging, throwing, dancing flowers and whipping. The soft whip mainly moves in a circle. With the help of arm shaking and body rotation, the beating speed of the whip is improved and the moving direction of the whip is changed. Soft whip can be divided into single whip and Shuang Bian, and can also be used with other musical instruments. There are two kinds of hard whips, one is a bamboo Strafe, which looks like a bamboo joint; The other is 13 water-saving mill Strafe, which is about 1 m long. The whip tail has a solid wood or iron handle, which can be held at both ends. The hitting methods include blocking, dropping, dropping, pointing, intercepting and sweeping. Square whip: It consists of a whip body and a grip. The whip consists of eleven square iron bumps. The whip handle is made of round iron. When in use, it can be hit with the whip body or thrown with the small whip at the tail of the whip.

The key point of "whip" in the history of cold weapons
Whips are similar to maces, and are mainly used to block, throw, point, chop, sweep, dish, board, poke, block, tease, stir and twist. It requires the exerciser to turn around and have a flexible posture; The pace is light and agile, and it is closely coordinated with the technique. Soft whip is a combination of soft and hard weapons. It is characterized by strong coordination between the body and the equipment, strong practitioners, and requires both the speed of hitting the ball and the dexterity of the method. Especially when dancing, dancing up and down, colliding with each other, such as the dance of the silver snake, is dizzying, so it has excellent performance effect.
A whip is a rope, which is clearly tied. This proverb is generally used to whip soft equipment, such as meteor hammer, rope dart, shoulder whip, iron training and other weapons. Entanglement, is bound to hit people, hit yourself. Soft weapon whip pays attention to hitting a line vertically and a fan horizontally. It's a ball when it's received and a piece when it's swung out. When recovering, the strength should be both rigid and flexible; Type quickly and steadily. Therefore, there is another proverb to explain the whipping method: "Take back a ball and release one.". Retract like a bug and release like a dragon. Shrink like a mouse and put it like a tiger. " To practice whipping, the whipping method must be clear, the footwork should be steady, the whipping method should be carried with you, change with the steps, and be freely retracted, fast and not chaotic. Shuang Bian's single whip is not easy to practice. There is a flogging song for reference: "Seven knots shake the light and the frame is whipped away." Before the prodigal kick, the mace is worn behind the back. Kick the tiger with the left hand and buckle the horse's crotch with the right hand. Hit a stick of incense in the air and hit a black dog lying on the ground. Golden cabbage supplements the brain, wraps the elbow to soothe the nerves and nourish the heart. Stop the snake around the waist to ventilate the three qi, and divide the water with a good prescription. "
Training method of "whip" in the history of cold weapons
The practice of soft whip is not complicated! In a word, it is the "Five Flowers Movement". The form of bound flowers is to draw eight characters, but the eight characters in whipping are horizontal rather than straight. The trend of "X" in the horizontal character is the technical basis for the classification of five flowers: the trend of "X" is that the upper and lower five flowers are called regular five flowers; The trend of "X" is from bottom to top, and the five flowers are called anti-five flowers; The horizontal "X" of the eight-character five flowers is left and right, which is called the flat five flowers. This is the trajectory of whipping, which is the whipping mode. Trajectory practice is the basis of flogging, because it is not only the most basic form of flogging, but also the most fundamental technique.
The positive five flowers are the mode of left and right oblique splitting; The anti-five-flower pattern is inclined left and right; Flat five flowers are left and right scanning modes; Oblique five flowers are the mode of chopping and sweeping. The first step of whipping practice is to wave these four kinds of five flowers at a slightly slower speed. The most important thing to pay attention to in basic exercises is to lengthen the whip. When the tip of the whip is placed at the best time, the arm will stretch the longest. In other words, the arm should be an integral part of the whip, and the whip should be waved by the body instead of the forearm.
When the swing is practiced skillfully and the big shape is smooth and full, you can practice chopping. Wuhua is a 720-degree ring. At first, you can practice 360-degree accumulation and 360-degree force repeatedly. After proficiency, do 180 degrees to gain momentum, and 180 degrees to exert force, that is, open the bow left and right. Pay special attention to the practice of chopping and sweeping, and use braking force to exert force, that is, pull back like a saw, which must be emphasized. After the swing is quite comfortable, you can practice the rocker. Buffeting technology concept: complete 720-degree loop in the range of 180 degrees. Generally speaking, it is to do S-shaped motion repeatedly along a straight line. Explain this mode with the aid of auxiliary equipment: prepare a wet towel, grab one end and swing it forward with the other end. When your hand is pulled hard, the towel will beep-this is the shaking mode, and the movement track of the towel is the shaking track of the soft whip. Then, you shake the whip by shaking the towel, and you will gradually master the shaking method.
The shaking can be carried out according to the pattern of positive five flowers, reverse five flowers and flat five flowers. After proficiency, you can shake it everywhere or hit it left and right. Even, you can shake it to a straight-forward state and hit people through the window grilles. Of course not for three or two days! Shaking and swaying may be a precursor to entanglement. It is not difficult to practice winding, but it is difficult to use it in actual combat. Interested friends can repeatedly practice the form and depth of winding by waving and shaking, and over time, they will learn from each other without a teacher. When the single whip method is proficient, you can practice the compound whip method, which is actually a simulation of actual combat. From the beginning to the hitting, there are roughly rules to follow. According to my experience, no matter what kind of whipping, you should start with whipping first, and then combine them at will when the whips in front and above are ready. This first whip needs momentum and strength, and must not be loosened; The following whipping methods should be interlocking and airtight, so as to ensure that the autumn wind sweeps away the leaves.
The basic skills of bound flowers are also the connection of style and style. Two sets of five styles and one set of shaking are the most common combinations, but one set of five styles and two sets of shaking are not necessary, so help yourself. As for the body shape and movement mode in practice, it is suggested that the whip holder should always be in the front, and the movements should be mainly straight-line footwork such as stepping, stepping, reversing and retreating. In actual combat, you don't need to change steps and jump-a soft whip covers 4 meters of Fiona Fang, and a well-trained shake can kill you. Why pretend to be profound and deceive yourself? Even if there is an enemy behind you, just turn around. Why go further and further?

Practical skills of "whip" in the history of cold weapons
Nine-section whip should be worn on the body and habitually wrapped around the waist. If you want to get rid of the enemy, it is inevitable not to delay things. After the eight-section whip was folded in half for the second time, both ends were symmetrically inserted into the belt, and the enemy pulled it out quickly. The color on the whip is not only for beauty, but more importantly, it helps to adjust the direction of the whip. As for the light whip head, this is the requirement of this special technique of whipping. Whipping is the main method of whipping. Only when it is light will it turn sharply. If the whip is heavy, it will often break when it is shaken and become a waste. The traditional whipping method does not shake, only splits. The nine-section whipping is only the shortening of the meteor hammer, mainly because the head is too heavy.
From the scope of action, soft whip belongs to long soldiers, so soft whip attack should first pay attention to long attack and short attack. That's exactly what happened. For opponents with weapons such as knives and sticks, you can attack directly, regardless of others. The situation is like whipping a dog. Don't worry that the dog's teeth will pass through the whip. When you get too close to your opponent, drive him away with a violent swing, and then end the battle with a whip.
If there is a fight in the house, half of the soft whip should be used, just like a sword, to play the role of swinging as much as possible. It is suggested to attack the opponent's hand first, destroy the opponent's weapon, and then attack the head. Of course, if you have considerable attainments in strength, shaking the whip in half in a short distance is enough to kill each other. If the opponent uses a long stick, it depends on whether he is a master fighter. For a blind man, a well-trained whip hits him like a blind man; For experts, you must shake when exercising and try not to get entangled in the stick.
If the opponent also uses a soft whip, this should also be treated differently. You can shake his eyelashes twice first to test it. If the opponent practices traditional whipping, then he can't get rid of shaking, only being beaten. A whip with a heavy whip head is a traditional whip shape, and you can be sure when you meet it. If the opponent is also shaking, then you should be careful. You must play according to the killing mode of the sword and take advantage of the deep kung fu. The use of soft whip is too numerous to mention, but it is most conducive to fighting at night, with less wins more. A whip in hand is better than hiring a bodyguard, even if a weak woman grasps it well, it will increase her heroism by three points. Whipping is suitable for all things that can be bent, such as belts, machine V-belts, universal belts, chains, steel ropes, stainless steel rulers, wet hemp ropes, brown ropes, rubber ropes, bicycle locks and even wet tree roots, and can be whipped.
