Secret: Does the real Bao Qingtian in history really know martial arts?

Bao Zheng is a civil servant. The ancients wanted both civil and military skills, and both were indispensable. The martial arts here are not as exaggerated as on TV, otherwise what would Zhan Zhao do? In fact, ancient literati also wanted to practice martial arts. Riding and shooting is a compulsory course. Of course, it is different from modern TV series, especially the "martial arts" in martial arts movies. TV plays have exaggerated elements. In our inherent impression, China ancient literati are usually gentle and fragile. Both Xu Xian and Liang Shanbo are very delicate, gentle and delicate, and seem to be out of touch with the movement octupole characterized by fierce confrontation. On the stage of national drama, these literati walked step by step, as if a gust of wind blew, and they would fall asleep. Therefore, "China ancient literati", as a person who didn't work hard and didn't like sports, was solidified in our minds. In addition, we looked around and found that there were many so-called "intellectuals" wearing thick glasses around us, shouting back pain all day. Not exactly. In fact, many scholars are not only practical, but also very practical. To use today's words, they really deserve the glorious title of "compound talents".

Confucius, the founder of Confucianism, and his disciples Luz, Ran Qiu and Fan Li are all "all-rounders". Confucius said: "Those who have a culture must have weapons, and those who have a culture must have weapons", which means that people should have both civil and military skills and be indispensable. Confucius himself was good at archery and archery, and his constitution was very strong. According to historical records, he is very strong and can lift the top bar of the city gate. Confucius is also good at running and can catch up with rabbits outside the city.

Many of Confucius' students are literate and know martial arts. For example, his favorite pupil is straightforward, brave and brave. Confucius attaches great importance to Luz, and the idiom "I'm glad to hear it" that we often say now is specially used by Confucius to praise Luz. Lutz believes that a gentleman should protect himself with a sword, so he often wears military uniforms and practices fencing. Once I went out with Confucius and was caught between Chen and Cai. He couldn't eat for seven days, but he still insisted on practicing martial arts with a shield. Later, Lutz encountered civil strife when he was an official in defending the country. In the battle, the tassel on Luz's hat was knocked off. He remembered that Confucius once said that a gentleman is a gentleman, and it would be a great shame if there were no tassels on the hat. So he was detained in the ethical code, put down his sword, tied a tassel on his head and stabbed to death. Ruligang Gong, another student of Confucius, is good at fighting. Once, Confucius and his disciples passed by Guo Pu and were stopped by Puren. Ruligang Gong raised his sword and rushed over. Puren saw that he was fierce and scared to retreat quickly. Confucius also had a student named You Ran, who was a general. He led the army of Lu against the invading army of Qi, taking the lead and winning with the assault tactics of infantry holding spears. It's just that Ran doesn't quite agree with Confucius' preaching that "poverty leads to happiness". In the end, Confucius made his disciple "pass the parcel" because of "different Tao and different heart"

Tao Kan of the Jin Dynasty, the great-grandfather of the famous poet Tao Yuanming, was an official in Guangzhou. "There's nothing to do in the state, so it's necessary to transport it outside the lent, and it's necessary to transport it inside at dusk." That is, in my spare time, I transport 100 bricks outside the study in the morning and transport them back to the study in the evening. Asked about the reason, Tao Kan replied: "There are too many leisure, and I am afraid I can't undertake great things." In the Tang Dynasty, Li Bai was not only a "poetic immortal" of "hundreds of poems about fighting wine", but also a sports genius and athlete. It is said that he is a "fifteen good swordsmanship", and he insists on fencing, hunting, horseback riding, mountaineering, boating and boxing all his life. Among the 964 poems in the Complete Works of Li Bai, there are 65,438,000 poems describing fencing alone.

In ancient China, etiquette, music, shooting, imperial edict, calligraphy and figures were called "six arts", which were the most basic skills required by Confucian scholars. As one of the "six arts", "shooting" not only literally means "archery", but also includes various forms of sports, and even in a sense, it not only refers to various forms of sports, but also becomes a method of ancient literati cultivation and gentlemanly demeanor. Therefore, Confucius, as an iconic figure in the cultural history of China, was praised as a "saint of heaven" and a "muduo of heaven" by people of his time, and was crowned as a "saint", "saint" and "eternal teacher" by later generations, not only by top cultural classes; By the same token, if he was not good at dancing with swords and spears, it would be difficult for Li Bai to write such a dynamic poem as "Andrew leans on the heavenly sword and kills whales across the sea"

Compared with the ancient literati in China, intellectuals in modern society need to reflect more. At present, sports are often regarded as a fashion owned by intellectuals and labeled as "petty bourgeoisie", instead of internalizing sports into a "just need" in daily life like ancient literati. Therefore, ancient literati can "play" sports smoothly and easily, but for modern people, sports represent more luxury, heaviness and even helplessness.
