What is the position of "East Evil" Huang in the "Five Masterpieces" and "The Last Five Masterpieces"?

Huang is a great artist. He is not only superb in martial arts, but also versatile. He really made the legendary swordsman, especially in the second half of his life, he lived more smartly than Ling Huchong. But it is precisely because of his erudition that many people question that his martial arts are miscellaneous but not refined, and he should be ranked last among the top masters.

The biggest basis for holding this view should be that one's energy is limited. If he only does one thing in his life, he will become an excellent craftsman even if he can't become a master. And if he dabbles in a lot of content and a wide range, the result will inevitably be miscellaneous but not refined. Huang is the latter kind of person. He is not only superb in martial arts, ranking among the "Five Musts", but also knows everything about astronomy, geography, five lines of gossip, Daoism, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and even irrigation and water conservancy.

Is this complicated? Not only miscellaneous, but also not ordinary miscellaneous. So, must yellow be miscellaneous but not refined? Will Wushu be at the bottom of the Five Wonders? I do not think this is necessarily the case.

There are always some masters in the history of ancient and modern China and foreign countries. Such people are called "geniuses". For example, Aristotle, the following is an introduction to him to some extent: as an encyclopedic scientist, he has made contributions to almost every subject. His works cover ethics, metaphysics, psychology, economics, theology, politics, rhetoric, natural science, education, poetry, customs and Athenian law. Aristotle's works constructed the first extensive system of western philosophy, including morality, aesthetics, logic and science, politics and metaphysics.

In the impression of most of us, do we think that the former is a rigid philosopher, while the latter is only famous for painting eggs! There is a saying that poverty limits my imagination. We can't always think that we can't do it, and others will certainly not do it. We must understand that there is a kind of genius in the world. In addition, compared with the above two, I feel that Huang Laoxie's coverage is pitiful.

So, don't doubt that Huang Laoxie's martial arts will be greatly reduced.
