Indeed, in the impression of many people, the literati in the Song Dynasty were all weak scholars who could not get on the horse and pull the bow, so they used words to make sentences. But this is not the case. If a Wulin conference was held among the Song literati, what would the Song literati do?
First, archery.
Among the many literati in Song Dynasty, Zhang Heng and Chen Yaozi were the best archers.
First, let's look at Rolling. Presumably, no one has heard of Zhang Heng, but he is very good. He was the champion of Ding Youke in the second year of Jiayou (1057). This list is called the dragon and tiger list through the ages. There are 24 scholars on the list, 9 of whom are Ren Zaizhi, which can be called a fairy fight, but Zhang Heng pushed Su Shi, Su Zhe, Ceng Gong and Wang Shao.
Su Shi once praised him: "The talent of Ziping (Zhang Heng Ziping) is unparalleled in a hundred years. "Let su shi so convinced, need a few brushes. Zhang Heng is a generalist, proficient in astronomy and geography. He can't do it without him. Su Causeway was built by Su Shi and initiated and taught by Zhang Heng. He himself is an expert in water conservancy construction. Playing with history, he compiled the Chronicle of the Emperor, which Song Shenzong called "the history that can be crowned"; Of course, these have nothing to do with the sports meeting. Amazingly, Zhang Heng's archery is also very powerful, so powerful that he has been to Liao country. Liao Daozong bullied him as a scholar and deliberately proposed archery at the banquet. I didn't expect the Khitans to kick the iron plate this time. Zhang Heng took a bow and shot ten arrows in a row, hitting the bull's-eye. No one in Liao can compare with him. Liao Daozong admired him for his civil and military skills.
Moreover, during his mission, Zhang Heng also inquired about the actual situation of military protection in Liao countries. After returning home with a good reputation, he suggested that Song Shenzong take advantage of its unprepared recovery of the last eight states in Yunzhong Road, but it was a pity that Song Shenzong did not adopt it. You know, Zhang Heng is facing the Khitans, and this archery is really great, but Rao is so, and he can't afford to shoot Wang Ding, because there is a statue of archery in front of him, and this man is called Chen Yaozi.
Chen Yaozi was the No.1 scholar in the third year of Song Zhenzong's Xianping (1000), that is, the year of Longfei List (that is, the new emperor's first entrance examination). Chen Yaozi can become the top scholar, which shows his talent. Interestingly, his younger brother Chen Yaomao was ugly in the second year of Duangong (989). Chen Yaozi is also the top scholar. Unlike his brother, he is also a powerful man with both civil and military skills. In particular, his archery is superb and superb. "The world thinks that the world is god." He used to shoot arrows with coins. With such archery, he often calls himself "Little Ji You".
Who's Yuki? Refers to the archer Yang in the Spring and Autumn Period. People nicknamed him Yang Arrow, but he never killed anyone with an arrow. The idiom "A hundred shots hit the mark, a hundred paces pierce Yang" refers to Yang Jiyou. Chen Yaozi can call himself "Little Ji You", and no one dares to refute it, which shows his archery level. So Ouyang Xiu called him "chinese odyssey" in his masterpiece "The Oil Man". With Chen Yaozi here, as powerful as Zhang Heng, he can only be the runner-up, and the champion must be from Chen Yaozi.
Second, flying skills
Can literati in Song Dynasty achieve lightness skill? Are you kidding? There really isn't. In Song Renzong's time, there was a man named Yang Yi. He's special. He is the great-grandson of Yang Ye's younger brother Yang Zhongxun and Yang Jiajiang, but he is a scholar and a serious scholar. He is a scholar, but Yang Jiajiang didn't win his ancestral kung fu.
In the third year of Li Qing (1043), the Yao people in Hunan rebelled, and Yang Yi, then the governor of Yuezhou, was ordered to suppress the rebellion. But Yang Yi was unlucky, and the battle to open the door for the first time was thousands of miles away! As soon as Yao's men were killed in front of them, his soldiers disappeared in an instant, leaving only the Lord hanging in the local area! Walter. What kind of operation is this? Normal people aside, Yang Yi will be captured even if he is not killed this time. But is Yang an ordinary person? He reacted quickly, jumped off the cliff, hid in the shallow grass under the cliff and escaped. Song Shi's original words are "under the rock, shallow grass will not die", but if it is not an abyss, how can he escape the enemy's pursuit? This lightness skill is amazing. With this magical skill, the first lightness skill book belongs to him. Unfortunately, he met a stronger opponent.
This man is called Du Yan. Many people don't know Du Yan. He was the prime minister who continued to implement the New Deal after Fan Zhongyan was demoted. Du Yan was born in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province after Du You, a famous figure in the Tang Dynasty. He is a posthumous child, and his father died unfortunately before he was born. His grandfather likes him very much, and the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren is very good. When I was a child, once my grandfather's hat fell into the river, he immediately went to pick it up. As a result, he was unlucky. Just when the flash floods broke out, he and his family were dispersed by the sudden flood. His aunt quickly threw him a bamboo pole, and a magical scene appeared. Drifting in the river for a long time, until he was rescued, his hat was not wet-"With a pole in one hand and a hat in the other, drifting for a long time, he was saved, but his hat was not wet."
According to ancient legend, Du Yan, the founder of Shaolin Dharma, crossed the river with a reed, and his lightness skill was almost the same as that of Dharma. Such a magical skill should be regarded as lightness skill first. What is even more rare is that Du Yan is not only good at flying skills, but also good at iron fists. In the fourth year of Chunhua (993), Du Yan, aged 15, was abused by his two brothers and beheaded with a sword. This had to put aside ordinary people and forbid him to die, but Du Yan was shocked. Nothing happened, neither died nor became a fool. In the future, the sixth scholar in high school has no other explanation except to practice the iron fist skill.
Third, fencing.
When it comes to Lu You, many people may think of lofty poems such as "Sleeping in the middle of the night listening to the wind and rain, dreaming of an iron horse glacier", "Boating in the snow at night, crossing in Guazhou, and walking in the autumn wind with iron horses", "If you are strong, you will join the army, and if you are used to it, you will swallow the rest of your life", "Wan Li seeks to seal the Hou and guard Liangzhou with horses", and the names of the poets with the most existing works (Comrade Aisingiorro Li Hong,
