The picture shows a portrait of Zhang Sanfeng.
His original name was Zhang Junbao, but later he changed his name to Sanfeng. Born in Liaoning, he was very clever since he was a child. When I was young, I worshipped Zhang Yunan as a teacher and was obsessed with Taoism. He usually learns some martial arts to keep fit, and after the expiration of his filial piety for his parents, he begins to travel around the world. There are many legends when he travels around the world. For example, it was recorded that he didn't change his clothes and was nicknamed Zhang Sloppy. Some people say that a bucket of rice can last for months when he is hungry. Some people even say that Zhang Sanfeng can travel every day.
The rock carving Farewell to Yan Shiyuan in Hechuan, Chongqing is said to be a big grass in Longxing, Zhang Sanfeng.
After the completion of the monasticism, I went south. When I passed Wudang Mountain in Hubei, I thought this place was beautiful and lived there. I started practicing in Wudang Mountain. In the film and television drama, Zhang Sanfeng received seven apprentices in Wudang Mountain, commonly known as Wudang Seven Heroes. In fact, only Zhang Songxi is a disciple of Zhang Sanfeng, and the other six are not disciples. Zhang Songxi was only educated, and Zhang Songxi carried forward. China still has the Songxi School, but Zhang Sanfeng mainly practiced alchemy in Wudang Mountain. Besides, Wudang is just a mountain, not a temple like Shaolin. All martial arts come from temples. There are many sects on Wudang Mountain, so it is impossible that all sects were founded by Zhang Sanfeng. Now all the people in the martial arts world are classified as Zhang Sanfeng, which is the end of the martial arts world. Unfortunately, we can only take Zhang Sanfeng as an example.
The picture shows this Zhushan tea tree in Sanguan Hall of Taiqing Palace in Laoshan Mountain.
Therefore, Zhang Sanfeng has gained a firm foothold in Wushu. Many historical materials prove that he lived for more than 200 years. Among them, The Biography of Taiji in Ancient and Modern Times and The Origin of the Secret Realm accurately say that he lived 2 12 years old, which is justified. I think that's nonsense. It was probably the emperor of the Ming Dynasty who pursued him. Zhang Sanfeng was very famous, so some people acted in his vest, just like the feast duke of Confucius.
There are few records about Zhang Sanfeng after Yongle, especially a tea tree planted in Laoshan by Zhang Sanfeng. Now, the age of this tea tree is consistent with the record. Personally, I think it is more reliable for Zhang Sanfeng to live in Yongle period. It should be a long life in the late yuan dynasty and early Ming dynasty.
