Liang Xiaolong commented that Bruce Lee's acting skills are average, but he can't do what I can. Do you think it is correct?

After reading this sentence, my first impression is whether someone is hacking Mr. Liang Xiaolong again. So in line with the idea of seeking truth from facts, I searched the source of this sentence online, but I didn't expect to find it. On June 8, 2008, at 10, Chengdu Business Daily wrote, "Bruce Lee scored 100 for acting, and only 70 for kung fu." This sentence is surprising, and even many people doubt Bruce Lee's status as a martial arts master. Today, Bai Yu uses the martial arts rhetoric in Jin Yong to interpret these words and understand them together.

1. There are many masters in Wulin master Jin Yong's martial arts novels, such as Hong Qigong, Ouyang Feng and Dugu. They can all create their own martial arts, and they can call their own martial arts system a generation of masters. For the master master, Feng Qingyang said this:

"There are countless fools in the Wuyue Sword School, thinking that they have learned the wonderful fencing handed down from the master and naturally become masters. Hum, they are familiar with 300 Tang poems, and they can sing even if they can't write poems! It's ok to read other people's poems and make a few limericks, but can you become a great poet without expressing yourself? " -from chapter 10 of the legendary swordsman's Sword.

There is no need for Bruce Lee to prove his innocence. This passage has been made very clear. As long as the ancestral Tai Ji Chuan, Wing Chun Boxing, Bagua Palm and Meihua Boxing are practiced to the extreme, they can become martial arts masters. However, are these martial arts experts all masters? There is still a long way to go, just like Einstein invented a formula. A college graduate can skillfully solve many math problems with this formula. Can you say that his achievements surpass Einstein himself? This college student will not become a mathematician even if he can learn all the theories of Riemann, Goldbach, Turing, Newton, Galois and Descartes. After all, a home computer can do it, and it can't be wrong.

Bruce Lee founded Jeet Kune Do as early as 1967, which was later called Jeet Kune Do by our audience. Although many shadows of Wing Chun Boxing can be seen in this kind of boxing, in fact, this kind of boxing theory is different from the traditional martial arts genre and has become a new fighting form and exercise method, which is divorced from the established routines, moves and methods. Mr. Liang Xiaolong, who was also called "Four Little Dragons of Hong Kong" with Bruce Lee, also learned Wing Chun and North Leg. His fist with a big sandbag was covered with calluses. Did he develop his own martial arts concept? Can you compare with the great master?

Second, let your mind go and let your fist fly. Zhou took a bowl when he was teaching Guo Jing martial arts, and said to him: This bowl only serves as a rice bowl because it is empty in the middle. If it is solid, can it still hold rice? In Zhou's understanding of Jiuyin, the best martial arts are "emptiness" and "softness". Only by leaving a certain space can we accommodate different things. This is his proud "empty fist".

Interestingly, Bruce Lee also expressed similar martial arts thoughts in the 1970s. He has said on many occasions that if you want to by going up one flight of stairs in martial arts, you must first clear your mind of the concept of "emptiness". Bruce Lee showed a student a glass of "coke" and a glass of "water", both of which were half full; "Coke" represents students' thoughts and knowledge that others think is correct, while "water" represents students' thoughts, knowledge, skills and so on that they want to learn from him. Then Bruce Lee pointed out that it was impossible to give his knowledge to the students because there was no room in his cup. If you want to learn from him, you must empty your cup first.

In Bruce Lee's view, water is considered "primitive" and that is "pure"; Water mixed with other ingredients, such as cola, is "impure". According to Bruce Lee's understanding, if there are impurities in thinking, they must be completely removed, otherwise they will not learn his "truth". That's it. His cup is water, and others' cups are "Coke". It turns out that I am like this cup full of coke. My inherent ideas have filled my head, and I can't go out of the original box to accept other people's views and ideas.

The usefulness of a cup lies in its emptiness, and it is precisely because it is empty that many good things can be introduced. As far as Bruce Lee's achievements are concerned, "complacency" is understandable, but if you find that his glass is also "half full", you will know how open-minded he is.

On the other hand, Mr. Liang Xiaolong, what he cares most is that Bruce Lee's legs are not straight, the high jump is not high, there are not many somersaults, and he can't do his own movements well. These superficial things vividly explain what is called "one leaf can't see Mount Tai". Bruce Lee said in an interview in the 1960s that these films featuring swords were just "boring juggling". Compared with the two, the judgment is higher. At this time, Bruce Lee was no longer confined to martial arts, and began to move towards deeper thoughts.

Third, seeing the heavens and the earth and seeing all beings, some people say that stopping is to go further; Leave for further places; Empty is to take more. Bruce Lee often said: The knowledge and skills you seek should be forgotten, so that you can float comfortably in the void without obstacles. It is necessary to leave preconceived and inherent knowledge and skills behind, then you can swim freely in nothingness.

Bruce Lee didn't choose to open an old martial arts school in the United States. Instead, he chose movies to March into Hollywood, and incorporated his own martial arts ideas into movies, conveying China's voice to the world and showing the world the charm of China Wushu. The spread of knowledge lies in influence, and the influence of communication is as great as the pattern.

China in the 1960s and 1970s was not as well known to the world as it is today. In Bruce Lee's view, if you want to learn good things, you must first abandon the inherent shortcomings; If you stagnate, you will only stagnate and fall behind others. Sports spirit lies in "faster", "higher" and "stronger", and cultural spirit lies in wider spread. Even if 1000 is a martial arts expert, gatling has evolved on his arm and bazooka has evolved on his leg, can he match the influence of one of Jin Yong's works?

In the movie "A Master", what Mr. Gong, a famous martial arts master, wants to do most after he retires is to "spread boxing in the south and boxing in the north". Why did he give his reputation to Ye Wen, an unknown martial arts teenager? He mentioned several key words between the lines, such as "Southern Boxing Spread to the North", "Guangdong and Guangxi Martial Arts Schools" and "Five Tigers Going to the South". This is the cultural anxiety of the older generation of martial artists, and the real purpose of Mr. Gong is to inherit and develop.

The Battle of Jinta is actually the last battle between the old tradition of Wulin and modern civilization. The ultimate goal of a generation of masters is to rejuvenate the country and save the country by force. No more martial arts than ideas, generations of Wulin people passed down from generation to generation. What they really want to do is "South Boxing is more than North Passing"?

In the minds of people who really have ideas, winning or losing is not important, sects are not important, rivers and lakes are not important, and the most important thing is the pattern and vision of "seeing the world and seeing all beings".

Bruce Lee's greatness lies not in creating Jeet Kune Do, nor in how many performances he has performed, nor in how many movies he has made. His significance lies in his understanding of the essence of Wushu inheritance, that is, Wushu is culture and culture is thought. Thought lies in communication and influence. In fact, it's still an old saying that has been said a thousand times and ten thousand times, to let the world know about China and let China go to the world.

White's comment: To put it bluntly, who can remember "Zhen Chen" in TV dramas in the 1970s without the role of "Fire Cloud Evil God" in Stephen Chow's movies? After Bruce Lee brought the martial arts from the "Jianghu" to the screen, from legend to reality, it opened an opportunity for the world to look at China and face the future. There are still people who cling to the past, stand still, slander each other, immerse themselves in the glory of the past and constantly appreciate themselves. In fact, he is like the old man in flip-flops in the movie, constantly thinking about the palm method falling from the sky, only this time, the glory will not shine on him again, and his time has passed.
