Guo Yunshen created his own boxing technique in prison and defeated five strong men with one punch. How powerful is his martial arts?

"Hello friends, I am the master of Hunyuan Xingyi Tai Chi, Ma Baoguo..." At this time last year, such a video quietly became popular on the Bilibili platform.

Fueled by the secondary creations of netizens, it accumulated more than 800 million exposures and clicks, becoming a phenomenon-level event on the Internet at that time.

In the video, an old man with bruised eyes speaks non-standard Mandarin and expresses that he was careless and did not dodge. As a martial arts senior, he advises a young boxer who "sneak attack" him to "mouse tail juice" ( Take care of yourself)".

In another self-organized martial arts competition, Master Ma Baoguo was knocked to the ground three times in 30 seconds by a fighting enthusiast.

After this farce-like competition, public opinion continued to ferment, and the status of martial arts was once again challenged and questioned by the entire Internet: Is traditional Chinese martial arts just a "show"? Is it really practical?

The answer is yes. As the saying goes, "Wen has Tai Chi to stabilize the world, and martial arts has Baji to determine the world." In the long history of the development of the Chinese nation, martial arts occupies a decisive position.

Countless shining giants have emerged in the vast history. The legends of Tai Chi master Yang Luchan and Yanqing mainstay Huo Yuanjia have been sung for hundreds of years.

The story this article will tell is also about a martial arts master - Guo Yunshen, who was once known as one of the "Top Ten Masters of the Late Qing Dynasty" together with Huo Yuanjia, Yang Luchan and others.

Guo Yunshen was born with a short stature and his congenital conditions were not outstanding. However, he had been yearning for martial arts since he was a child and hoped to make some achievements in the martial arts world.

However, his family is poor and he does not have a solid financial foundation to support him in systematic learning. He is obsessed with boxing but suffers from the lack of guidance from famous teachers. He wakes up after hearing chickens day and night. He has trained hard for several years but has achieved little results.

He was deeply aware that it would be difficult to achieve real achievements by working behind closed doors. When he was young, he packed up his bags and left his hometown alone, embarking on the difficult road of seeking teachers and learning Taoism.

After hearing the name of Mr. Liu Xiaolan of Yizhou for a long time, Guo Yunshen became his disciple, and later continued to practice Bajiquan under his master, Mr. Sun Tingli.

The power of Bajiquan is strong and fierce, and the piles are generated from the ground, which is a powerful and powerful killing move. Guo Yunshen followed Sun Tingli to study the boxing skills carefully and become increasingly sophisticated.

Mr. Sun saw that Guo Yunshen had a good understanding and had achieved some achievements in Bajiquan, but still had great potential to be explored in depth. However, he also believed that his strength was limited and it was difficult to continue to guide him, so he recommended him to go to Shanxi to learn from Xingyi Mr. Li Luoneng, the master of boxing, asked for advice.

After many twists and turns, Guo Yunshen finally met Li Luoneng through his connections with his fellow villagers. He earnestly explained his intention to come and expressed his willingness to become his disciple and seek advice humbly.

At first, Li Luoneng saw his short stature and was unwilling to accept him as his disciple. However, when Guo Yunshen showed him the Bajiquan he had learned, Mr. Li changed his mind.

I saw Guo Yunshen's Bajiquan set. His fists were powerful and majestic, his parries were neat and his movements were smooth and flowing. It was quite charming. Li Luoneng couldn't help but fall in love with it, so he took it under his tutelage.

In the process of learning boxing from Mr. Li, Guo Yunshen’s original intention and will to practice martial arts has not wavered in the slightest. Although he has mastered the essence of Bajiquan, he is not at all proud and complacent.

Guo Yunshen followed his master to practice Xingyi Quan assiduously. He also diligently took on the chores at home, irrigating the fields, cultivating the fields, and tending the vegetable garden. He was meticulous in his martial arts practice and his work.

After being a disciple of Li Luoneng for 12 years, Guo Yunshen received all the teachings from his master. He mastered the form, form and charm of Xingyiquan, and his martial arts gradually reached a state of perfection.

Guo Yunshen has learned martial arts to some extent, but when it comes to further improvement of martial arts, it is often necessary to gain real insights and breakthroughs through the accumulation of experience in the use of skills in real fighting. Thank you for your teaching. After becoming his mentor, Guo Yunshen finally said goodbye to his mentor again and walked in the human world.

Relying on his ability to travel around the world, Guo Yunshen traveled all over China and made friends with colleagues to learn from each other.

During the Xianfeng period, Guo Yunshen had gradually accumulated considerable fame and went to the capital to serve as a martial artist for the royal family. During this period, he met another famous master, Dong Haichuan, the successor of Bagua Zhang.

The two of them had been sparring for three days but still could not come to a conclusion. After some exchanges, they agreed that Xingyiquan and Baguazhang had similarities, but each had their own biases, so they combined the two. As one lineage, they can complement each other. If the two complement each other, they can achieve a good state without any disadvantages.

"Wherever there are people, there will be grievances. Where there are grievances, there will be rivers and lakes. People are the rivers and lakes." Mr. Jin Yong's words are a true portrayal of that era.

People who practice martial arts often advocate the nobleness of martial arts. There is a saying: "The great chivalrous person serves the country and the people." The skills you have never learned should not be used to bully the weak or do whatever you want.

Guo Yunshen is also a passionate and good man. He has always been obliged to help when there is injustice on the road. Unfortunately, due to bad luck, he ended up in jail for this.

At that time, there was a martial arts official named Dou Xianjun. Although he was highly skilled in martial arts and achieved great success, he did not care about serving the people.

Once he happened to be bumped into by Guo Yunshen. Guo Yun was deeply angry and felt unfair, so he fought with Dou Xianjun.

Dou Xianjun was not good at martial arts and was beaten until one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. He was about to attack him secretly. Guo Yunshen flew forward with a lunge and raised his knife. Dou Xianjun was killed immediately. When the people learned about this, they all screamed. Very satisfying.

As a result, Guo Yunshen was involved in a human life lawsuit, so he went to the government to surrender. With a piece of paper, he was detained in prison and sentenced to imprisonment.

Many great achievements in history were completed in prison. For example, while in prison, King Wen of Zhou drew the Houtian Bagua based on Fuxi's innate Bagua reasoning and calculation, which became one of the important cornerstones of the development of Yi Studies in later generations.

The same goes for Guo Yunshen. After being imprisoned and losing his freedom, he did not become depressed because of this. Instead, he calmed down and studied hard in a rare closed environment, without slacking off at all.

Due to the limitations of the shackles, the range of foot movement could only be within half a step. On this basis, combined with the Bengquan technique taught to him by his master Li Luoneng, Guo Yunshen became famous in the world in the future. The "half-step collapsing fist".

Before his sentence was completed, Emperor Guangxu granted him a general amnesty. Guo Yunshen took this opportunity to regain his freedom and improve his cultivation to a higher level than before.

He moves like a rabbit and is as quiet as a mountain. The explosion of punches in half a step is like a mountain falling apart. A punch while talking and laughing seems to be an understatement, but it can cause the screen wall to collapse, making the five young people collapse. The strong men each held long sticks against their abdomens, turned around and raised their hands to hit all five of them for more than ten feet.

The reputation of "beating the world with a half-step punch" spread throughout the country. Guo Yunshen finally became famous in the world with his strong martial arts and noble martial ethics.

Guo Yunshen, the great master of the first generation, did not adhere to any sectarian views in teaching martial arts. He taught countless students throughout his life. He was good at teaching students in accordance with their aptitude and taking advantage of the situation. He made immeasurable contributions to the inheritance and development of traditional Chinese martial arts.

After the reform and opening up, Banbu Bengquan was included in the intangible cultural heritage list because of its unique fighting style and considerable influence, and became a wonderful flower in the cultural treasure house of the Chinese nation.

Chinese martial arts has a history of thousands of years and was the foundation for the survival of countless warriors who relied on martial arts as a profession. There is no doubt about its actual combat value. Guo Yunshen’s story is the most authentic portrayal.

However, with the development of the times, when the land is peaceful and the sea is peaceful and all industries are prosperous, the status of martial arts, a knowledge that licks blood on the tip of a knife, as a way of making a living has also declined, and it has begun to Develop in the direction of literary performance and physical fitness.

The lowering of barriers and difficulty gives martial arts the opportunity to enter thousands of households, becoming a popular means of fitness and entertainment, and silently benefiting countless Chinese people.

If we talk about the value of martial arts, the Mr. Ma Baoguo mentioned at the beginning may also be a very good example. Although his martial arts is not exquisite, he even has a bit of "loosely flicking the lightning whip". Funny and clumsy.

But such a "69-year-old comrade" resisted three punches by the vigorous young man and was still unharmed. After falling to the ground, he could get up again. His face was red and swollen, and he spoke kindly. Some remarks.

It can be seen that his physical fitness is at least far above that of his peers, and some clues can be gained from the effectiveness of Chinese martial arts.
