What is the origin and development of Japanese forbearance?

From 15 to 16 100 years, the Tokugawa era existed in name only. Dozens of separatist forces have emerged in Canada, where the central government is not strong, and they have rebelled and attacked each other. Due to the limited land forces of various units, they trained "special agents"-"ninjas" for reconnaissance, sneak attack, assassination and other activities.

The "Heritage Hall" in Ueno Ninja Village reveals the mysteries of Ninja's daily life and cultivation through documents and objects. It turns out that martial arts is only a small part of the ninja's practice, and there are five compulsory subjects, namely "food, fragrance, medicine, qi and body", commonly known as "Ninja Five Ways".

"Food" refers to the diet of a ninja. A qualified ninja usually weighs no more than 60 kilograms in order to haunt branches and roofs lightly. Three meals a day are mainly black rice, oats, tofu and taro, but on the other hand, in order to maintain abundant physical strength, sesame seeds, pine nuts, brown sugar, quail and other foods rich in protein, iron and vitamins are indispensable. This recipe coincides with the "low calorie and high nutrition" advocated by modern life.

"Xiang" means that ninjas can judge each other's economic situation and status by the smell on their clothes. However, in order to conceal their ninja identity, ninjas often use seven transformations, such as businessmen, practitioners and monks. The spices such as clove, sandalwood and cinnamon exhibited in the "Heritage Museum" were used by them to make different body fragrances and enhance the authenticity of transformation.

Medicine is not simple. Ninjas are usually doctors and medical experts, who are good at using various plants and herbs in the mountains to treat injuries. In order to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes when lurking for a long time, ninjas will carry a lot of insect repellent drugs with them, and there are also various drugs used for different tasks, such as incense, strong poison, realgar, epimedium and so on, which is amazing.

"Qi" means that ninjas pay attention to their self-cultivation, so that they can concentrate on it in actual combat, be decisive and brave, and remain shocked, which is strikingly similar to Wu Tangmen's cultivation method in the Song and Ming Dynasties in China.

"Body" means that ninjas pay attention to the exercise of muscles and joints, and at the same time exercise themselves by meditation, breathing, massage, acupuncture and other recovery methods to meet the needs of various martial arts.

In addition to the above-mentioned "Ninja Five Ways", Ninja is also an astronomer and chemist, who can look at the stars to predict the weather and make gunpowder and firearms. For example, the unique weapon made by Sarutobi Sasuke, a famous ninja in history, is a musket with a range of 50 meters, which is twice as long as the best shotgun of the Ming army, which was famous for its firearms at that time. Unfortunately, the ape flew to the sun and the moon and was killed by mistake. Since then, his mysterious weapon has never been found, which was cited as a pity by Japanese arms history books.

The martial arts of ninjas are fundamentally different from those of Japanese samurai. Because of their special tasks, ninjas usually use portable short weapons and hidden weapons instead of broadswords or spears. According to legend, there was a kind of hidden weapons in the Wulin of the Central Plains in the Ming Dynasty, named "Bajiaoling". It is made of pure steel, sharp as a knife, thin as paper, and only two inches in size. Scattered all over the floor like a rain flower, and it is highly toxic. Probably by a Japanese ninja. Ninja unarmed combat is also necessary. Fingers as steel as iron pierce the chest and abdomen, tear the neck, split the head, and instantly kill people. Although it is not as extensive and profound as the Central Plains martial arts, it is practical and fully conforms to the ideological basis of "winning with one blow" in fighting.

And the ninja's residence is also very mysterious, and the organs are full of secrets. This is to prevent the threat of ninjas from other separatist forces. It looks like an ordinary house from the outside, but the floor next to the seat is generally equipped with a rotating shaft. When an enemy intrudes, tap the board, and immediately turn your back, exposing your weapon and killing with a knife. The ceiling board is also movable, and when it is pulled down, it is a folding staircase, which is convenient for hiding or escaping. The traditional Japanese door is a sliding door, which is easy to be intercepted by people and makes a lot of noise when entering and leaving. Therefore, the door of a ninja is a revolving door, which can surprise and counterattack the other side without showing emotions. There are secret doors everywhere on the wallboard, either to escape or to hide weapons. There is a room with 17 hidden holes and more than 30 different weapons, which is simply an invisible weapon showcase.

There are countless magical legends about ninjas. Interested readers can look through the records of ninjas in Japan during the Warring States period, or go to Ueno Ninja Village to have a look in person. Today, although the real ninja no longer exists, its hard work, tenacity and tenacity have been passed down as the best part of Japanese character. Perhaps it is this kind of ninja spirit that the Japanese can create the economic miracle after the war.
