Tell me about the history of Musashi Miyamoto (why is he the first in Japanese kendo? What about Sasaki Kojiro? )

Musashi Miyamoto was born in Musashi Miyamoto, Ohara-CHO, Yingtian County, Okayama Prefecture on 1584, and died on 1645. Musashi Miyamoto Xuanxin (the first two days of the art of war are called the new exemption of Musashi Xuanxin). When he was a child, he studied the art of war with the help of his father. From the age of thirteen to twenty-nine, he was sent to compete with other schools for more than sixty times and never lost once. Besides fencing, he is also a master of shuriken, Body Art (unarmed martial arts) and other martial arts. In his twenties, he has established a school called "first-class"; In the tenth year of the Qing Dynasty (1605), he wrote the fencing work "Bing Dao Jing". During Kuan Yong's reign (1624 ~ 1644), he completed the art of war with two knives, which is called "first-class two knives". At the age of 57, in the seventeenth year of Kuanyong (1640), Musashi was invited by Kumamoto Lord Tadao Hosokawa to formally teach the art of war locally. At the same time, he began to write Sun Tzu's theoretical works on the art of war, which is called "Sun Tzu's art of war is first-class in two days". It was after Musashi entered Kumamoto. In the 20th year of Kuanyong (1643), in October, Musashi lived in Lingyan Cave and began to write five rounds of books. In the second year of Bao Zheng's reign, he passed the Five Wheels Book to the end of Katsunobu Hall in Sun Zhicheng, and the Preface of Taidao Daofa and Thirty-five Rules of the Art of War to the end of the hall. After that, he passed away at the age of 62 (another way of saying it is 64).

Musashi Miyamoto was a fencing master at the end of the Warring States Period and the beginning of the Tokugawa shogunate. His influence in Japan is so great that there is a saying that "Makita's gun is Miyamoto's knife". He claimed: "I studied fencing since I was a child and traveled all over the country. I have seen swordsmen of all factions, and I have tried more than 60 times without losing. " Japan is a country that worships force and swords. Although the Ming Dynasty had friction with the Japanese ruling and opposition parties, it imported a large number of swords from Japan. From a commercial point of view, Japanese swords are equivalent to silk and tea before the Opium War in China, and occupy a considerable proportion in foreign trade. The grass-shaved sword still preserved in Japan is regarded as a national treasure by the Japanese. There are many such national treasures in Japan, which are not only of cultural value, but also regarded as sacred or sacred. The History of Japan also records the story of Kusanagi's sword showing its spirit. Among the three treasures that the Japanese emperor took as a token (equivalent to the imperial seal) when he ascended the throne, there was Amano Yun Jian-of course, as the author of Chrysanthemum and Knife said, the original sword had sunk to the bottom of the sea in a turmoil, and now the royal family only uses imitations. Until the Meiji period, the sword was regarded as a part of the samurai's body. Bushido in Nitobe Inazo said that even if you accidentally cross the other's knife, it is regarded as a great disrespect and insult to your master. In the TV series "Familiarity and Matsuzaka", Nobuyoshi Oda inadvertently gave the nod given by Sassa Narimasa to others, and Sassa Narimasa was quite depressed and alarmed.

At the end of the Warring States period, there was no doubt that swordsmen came forth in large numbers. At that time, the famous swordsmen were Sasaki Kojiro, Yagyu Zongyan, Maru Changhui, Ito Yidaozhai and Dongxiang Chongwei. Even the general of Muromachi shogunate, Ashikaga Yoshihiro, is also a famous "General Hao Jian". Musashi Miyamoto lived in such an environment.

Musashi Miyamoto's literary works include Musashi Miyamoto and Musashi Miyamoto.
