What is a ninja?

Ninja, like SUSI and geisha, has become an international language. Whether authentic Japanese or foreigners learning ninja skills, their images of ninjas are usually: dressed in black, able to fly over walls, leap over cities, call the shots, change stars and fight, and use all kinds of grotesque hidden weapons. Although this image is not accurate, it is also very close.

Ninja's job is mainly to carry out secret tactics, sabotage, assassination, collect enemy frontline information, disrupt enemy reserve bases, and other espionage activities. Because you have to be anonymous before you die and live a dark life for life; You can't leave a few phrases in case you get caught in the future. So, when should the origin of Japanese ninja be traced back? No one dares to assert. However, in the secret book of Ninjutsu, it is recorded that Shoto Kutaishi (from the end of the 5th century to the beginning of the 6th century) had a ninja named Da Companion.

At present, although there are numerous schools of Ninjutsu in various parts of Japan, they will return to Iga (northwest of Mie Prefecture) and Kaga (south of Shiga Prefecture). I think many people get the impression from comics and novels that the Iga Ninja Corps and the Kaga Ninja Corps are sworn enemies. Actually, it's not. Their ancestors are the same family, and most of them are related by blood. However, if their employers (monarchs) are hostile to each other, they will have to fight with each other and even become brothers.

On the other hand, in order to facilitate the inheritance of Ninjutsu from generation to generation, they also had to intermarry frequently, which can be said to be a close relationship. If you think about it a little, you will know that once you grow up in this place, no matter whether you are a man or a woman, can you still marry and have children for family secrets? Moreover, there are usually female ninjas behind male ninjas. This kind of work is a matter of course unless I have been exposed to it since I was a child. Otherwise, one day my husband suddenly left without saying goodbye. Ordinary women who can stand not to be angry?

In the ninja world, there are four basic commandments: don't abuse Ninja (just for business), give up all self-esteem (it's important to run for your life), keep your mouth shut (even if you lose your life), and never reveal your identity (this is the most basic Ninja). There are three periods when ninjas are active: 1 1 Yuan Ping period from the end of the century to the end of 12 century, Southern and Northern Dynasties period from 13 century, and Warring States period from the middle of 14 century to the end of 15 century. The Warring States period can also be said to be an era when ninjas "let a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend".

Ninjas are divided into "upper forbearance", "middle forbearance" and "lower forbearance". "forbearance", also known as "think tank forbearance", specializes in the overall plan of strategic operations. "Zhong Ren" is the commander in actual combat, and of course, his patience should be outstanding. "Lower forbearance", also called "physical forbearance", is equivalent to modern special forces, ninjas who actually fight in the forefront. There is an obvious hierarchical relationship between them. Lower forbearance obeys middle forbearance, and middle forbearance obeys upper forbearance.

The following is a brief description of ninja equipment:

clothes

Ninjas usually sneak into enemy towers and mansions on new moons or cloudy nights. If they wear black, the outline will be more prominent. So the basic clothing color is dark blue. At night, when the moon and stars are scarce, they will change into gray or brown clothes. Sometimes it's gray outside and brown inside. In case of enemy pursuit, you can reverse your costume on the way and use the color illusion to escape. In addition, dark blue can prevent the invasion of poisonous snakes, mosquitoes and other insects, and it is a cloth dyed with iron-containing natural dyes. Jeans and ninja clothes invented by American pioneers have the same purpose.

As for underwear, of course, it is the traditional Japanese crotch cloth (a slender white cloth). But the ninja's beam method is different from that of ordinary people, and its length is longer. They wrapped the crotch cloth from the neck to the crotch and finally to the waist. In this way, the crotch cloth can be pulled out from the back of the neck at any time as a bandage or rope for first aid. There are many pockets in the coat to put some gunpowder, sewing needles and first-aid drugs (including sleeping pills and poison) that can't get wet; There are some daily necessities in the belt. Gloves and leggings usually hide some hidden weapons.

weapon

In order to deceive the border guards' interrogation, ninjas usually dress up as farmers when traveling. Therefore, the so-called Ninja hidden weapons is often transformed from farm tools, daily necessities and gardener props. Most of these weapons are invented and cast by themselves, and only they know their usage, so they are no different from ordinary daily necessities in the eyes of others. This is also one of the main reasons for the loss of ninja weapons.

Modern people know seven kinds of ninja weapons from various ninja cheats: syuriken, makibisi, Ninja, hukiya, sikomidue, tekkoukagi and mizugumo. Shuriken is a kind of darts, the tip of which is coated with poison. "Sprinkle Spirit" is a diamond weapon left behind when escaping. Anything that is uneven and can sting your feet, such as natural stones, dried fruits, iron, etc. , you can use instead. "Endure the knife", with a rope about three meters long, can be used as a stepping tool when crossing the city wall, and then recovered by the rope; When in danger, the scabbard can be used as a snorkel in potential water. "Blowing an arrow" is a poisonous needle, usually hidden in a flute; Sometimes you need to dress up as an artist during the journey, so ninjas must learn to blow arrows and practice flute skills. As the name implies, "Enduring Staff" is a kind of walking stick, which hides weapons such as chains, spears and swords. There are all kinds of "nail hooks", some on the nails and some on the back of the hand, depending on what kind of kung fu the participants are good at. "Water Spider", a prop used when crossing a river, can usually be folded and hidden in a bag.

Ninja food

Ninja can never "gain weight". Because he must hide on the ceiling, under the floor, or even hang on a tree or post in the house to support his weight with one hand, he must be careful not to exceed 60 kilograms. In terms of a man's arm strength, the upper limit weight of fighting with the enemy with one hand is 60 kg (try it yourself). "Ninja food" is mainly grain, with low calorie, low fat and high protein. The staple food is generally brown rice, wheat and sweet potato, the side dishes are miso made of tofu and soybeans, and others are plums, vegetables, sesame seeds and quail eggs. Foods that enhance body odor, such as leeks, meat, onions, garlic, ginger, and hobby cigarettes, are all prohibited. Moreover, ninjas often take a bath and wash clothes in order to get rid of body odor. In addition, pine nuts, torreya nuts and other plant fruits are also one of the staple foods of ninjas.

"Carrying grain" is also very important. Once you receive the task order, whether camping in the wild or lurking on the ceiling of the enemy mansion, you must have "carrying food" to maintain your physical strength. Dried taro can be strung into a necklace and hung around the neck; Steamed rice can be preserved after drying. Both can be brewed with boiling water and become fast food to satisfy hunger. In addition, ergot, plum and rock sugar are mixed into pills to become "thirst-quenching pills"; Carrot, buckwheat flour, wheat flour, sweet potato, licorice, coix seed and glutinous rice flour are all ground into powder and soaked in wine for three years. After the wine volatilizes, knead it into the size of a peach pit. You only need to eat three pills a day, so don't worry about consuming physical strength. There is another kind called "frost wyrm Pill", which is made of carrots, wheat flour, glutinous rice flour, honey and wine, boiled with slow fire, then kneaded into small balls and dried in the sun. You can take 30 tablets a day to get the necessary vitamins. "frost wyrm Pill" should be used by wartime soldiers when guarding the city, right? In short, this is also one of the main "ninja foods".

Field survival method

Ninja has rich knowledge of herbal medicine, and can distinguish poison from good medicine and improvise. I know the habits of wild animals like the back of my hand. Many ninja skills are learned from the habits of wild animals. Astronomical meteorology is one of the essential basic endurance skills. For example, observe whether there are water droplets on the spider web at night, and if there are, it will be sunny the next day; There is a halo around the moon, or when the moonlight is brighter than usual, the next day is rainy; It began to rain in the middle of the night, at eight o'clock in the morning, and at night, which may last for several days. When you get lost in the deep mountains, bake the needle of the sewing needle with fire, or put wax on the needle and put it into the water immediately. The pointer points to the north. The sewing needle on the ninja can not only be used to tell the direction, but also be used as an acupuncture prop when injured or tired. What if the kettle is out of water? Find an ant hole or a mole hole. Where there are ants and crickets, there must be water nearby.

Ninjutsu

First of all, of course, you have to improvise into various identities The basic "nanabake" of a ninja is: becoming a monk, being an empty monk, crouching on the mountain, abandoning the teacher, being upright, being a businessman, and being Saruga Kush. "Xiuke" is an ordinary bald monk. "komusou", wearing a cylindrical bamboo hat on his head to cover his whole face; Dressed in cassock; There is a bowl hanging around the neck; Xiao blew while begging. A monk practicing in Shan Ye. "houkasi" is equivalent to a modern street performer, performing magic, stunts and monkey tricks. "tunenokata" incarnates as a local farmer or soldier, provided that he can speak fluent local dialect. A "businessman" is a businessman who sells medicines and sugar. Jianghu artist "sarugakusi". Others include "disguise", "transformation" and "voice change".

When delivering confidential documents, the best way is to memorize them. However, sometimes it is sewn inside the clothes; Sometimes documents are twisted into a rope and woven with straw hats. What's more, a slender piece of paper is wrapped around a cylinder, which records the contents of the document. If you untie the paper, the content will become unclear words. After receiving the document, the recipient winds the note on a cylinder with the same thickness and restores its original shape. Personally, I think the coolest way is to carve words on the scalp! In this way, you must shave your hair first, then tattoo it, and then shave it when it grows and returns to the Lord safely. However, this method must be painful. But ninjas can mix medicines anyway, so there should be some modern anesthetics. Another way is to use the "Word of God". This is a kind of large-scale ancient Chinese characters before China Chinese characters spread to Japan, which is equivalent to Oracle Bone Inscriptions in China. During the Warring States period, few people could read the holy book, so it became a "secret code" between ninjas.

There are all kinds of other strange endurance techniques, such as "Wen", "Wu", "Yi" and "Le", and the list goes on.

After Tokugawa Ieyasu established the shogunate in Edo (Tokyo), some Iga Ninja became the guards and spies of the shogunate, while the rest Iga Ninja and Kaga Ninja were assigned to famous territories all over the country. During the Meiji Restoration, Ninjutsu was gradually lost, and these descendants of Ninjutsu changed jobs and became policemen, doctors, drugstore owners, fireworks artists and so on. Having said that, the world of ninja is still very attractive, which makes modern Japanese, even foreigners, curious and want to explore: what medicine is sold in this gourd? !

Q: What is a ninja? What's the difference between a ninja and a samurai? What's the situation of ninja?

Ninja: The simple explanation is that in ancient Japan, a special kind of war killer and spy was trained by a special institution and presented a form of "factional organizational unit". However, there are many sects in this "organizational unit", which are distributed all over Japan. There are official and unofficial ones. Basically, the birth of this product "Ninja" is completely related to the "Warring States Period" in ancient Japan.

The "Warring States Period" in ancient Japan is just like the "Spring and Autumn Warring States Period" in early China. The city-states split and went their own way. There are wars everywhere, bloody and cruel killings, and ruthless wars. These princes and warlords, who are fighting for power and profit, urgently need to train a group of professional infiltration troops who can quickly sneak into enemy lines to carry out spy tasks such as detecting "spying", "assassination", disturbing and destroying. Ninja was born in such a sinister environment full of turmoil.

In fact, the "special infiltration troops" trained by these governors and warlords did not employ "ninjas" in the early days. This is just an official intelligence combat unit that any regime will inevitably establish. In other words, it was just a simple "spy"! What's the difference between the so-called "ninja" and "spy"? We all know; Ninjutsu is a special monastic art spread from China to Japan through cultural exchanges between the two countries. In Japan, "Ninjutsu" has gradually evolved into a unique monastic school, with many sects distributed all over Japan.

Ninja: At first, it was just a name for "ninja practitioner". But some self-contained "ninja practitioners" have many disciples themselves. These "ninja practitioners" themselves or their disciples use the "ninjas" they have learned to cultivate their own "exclusive private forces" in private. They started enterprise and military management. Sometimes they have to pay to become mercenaries of professional killers.

Later, because the government units analyzed and evaluated it from the perspective of investment return and investment risk, it was found that the strategic value of "Ninja" was indeed higher than that of ordinary spies and killers, so "Ninja" was gradually valued by the government units in the later period, and therefore the official "exclusive Ninja Force" began to be established.

Ninja and spy belong to [special action level] organizations. But the difference between a ninja and a spy is that they are all trained by ordinary spies in essence. The most difference is that there is one more training: Ninjutsu. Ninjutsu is the ultimate warrior trained by the unit with special skill level of Ninjutsu skill. The task form is complicated and not simple! ! Higher than ordinary spies. This is the so-called ninja.

Many people always think that Ninja always appears with a black mask every time he goes on a mission. It is really influenced by the exaggerated "objectification" mistakes in martial arts novels and movies. Indeed! This kind of black clothes is really what Ninja often wears on missions, but it also depends on the mission. This kind of black clothes is not the so-called [ninja suit]. In fact, ordinary people in ancient Japan often wore this kind of black work clothes to work. This is just an ancient Japanese work clothes! Just because [Ninja] can conveniently carry out the secret needs of tasks in the dead of night, he especially wears this black overalls, and the overalls have been slightly modified to meet the needs of tasks and battles.

The real [ninja] doesn't always appear as a masked figure in black as described in novels and movies. Real [ninjas] usually dress up as various social figures or people from all walks of life to blend in with ordinary people as a cover-up of their identity. For example, beggars' charity monks' acrobats' roadside stalls' warriors' ronin' monks' charlatans and other uncertain roles.

Ninjutsu

Ninjutsu, also known as invisibility, is a secret pearl in ancient Japanese martial arts.

Ninjutsu, like karate, judo, Shaolin Temple boxing and other Japanese martial arts, was originally a unique Japanese martial arts gradually developed after China Wushu was introduced into Japan. According to historical records, Ninjutsu came into being 300 years ago, that is, in the shogunate era of Japan in the17th century. With the popularity of the Japanese court, the rise of martial arts class forces and the need of spy work, more and more ninja masters have appeared, and ninja has become increasingly popular. But for a long time, Ninjutsu is only a secret biography handed down from generation to generation by the ninja family, and it is difficult for the outside world to know its details.

The training requirements of Ninjutsu must start from an early age. All members of the Ninjutsu family, regardless of gender, age and age, must unconditionally inherit this family professional tradition (Ninjutsu training). As far as the training content of Ninjutsu is concerned, its basic training mainly includes five aspects: balance, sensitivity, strength, persistence and special skills.

Balance training: first, step on the bamboo pole until you can stand on the round bamboo pole without slipping; Lift the bamboo pole about three feet from the ground, continue to walk the bamboo pole and practice the movements freely; Continue to increase the height of bamboo poles until they are 30 to 40 feet high and democratic. At this time, they are not afraid of heights, tumbling, skipping and lying on the ground. With this balance, you can walk on roofs, walls and trees like a fly.

Sensitive training: start training at an early age, and do more special training with sensitive qualities, such as jumping over a rope full of leaves, doing dangerous obstacle running in the later stage of training, being covered by many dangerous obstacles when running, and being slightly ineffective or unresponsive in posture, that is, being injured by obstacles. So the sensitivity of Ninjutsu is very strict.

Endurance training: Endurance training in Ninjutsu can be divided into static and dynamic training methods. Static training method: Hang your hands on a tree to support your whole body, and the ground is covered with hidden weapons. Practitioners are required to never let go and jump, and only with basic long-distance running skills can they have the endurance to run five or six thousand miles. An excellent ninja master, plus jumping, can run 150 miles a day.

Strength training: The strength training of Ninjutsu strives to maximize the strength of the human body. There are many training methods, which are not listed here.

Special skill training: There are many kinds of special skill training of Ninjutsu Wushu, such as holding your breath in diving, unarmed fighting, kendo, hidden weapons, make-up, medicine, detoxification, hearing and smell training, etc. . . In the wild, there is a strong ability to endure hunger and thirst.

Ninjutsu Wushu requires ninjas to have first-class skills such as fencing, archery, equestrian, jujitsu, footwork, body balance and poison dart. But the most demanding martial arts is the famous stealth flying escape. Invisibility, in fact, there is no real invisibility, but it is trained to be extremely sensitive in hands and feet and extremely capable of jumping and running. When people didn't find him, the ninja was dead. In China's martial arts, it's called climbing over the eaves. In fact, it is practiced through long-term jumping, grasping, crawling and hitting. Because of the mysterious actions and hidden whereabouts of the master of Ninjutsu, people also call Ninjutsu "ghost art" and "invisibility art"

In addition to flying stealth, hidden weapons is also a stunt of Ninjutsu Wushu. Ninjutsu hidden weapons mostly used poison darts and copper coins (Bian Feng's blade), as well as swords. , chisel, etc. Ninjutsu is widely used in hidden weapons, and throwing copper coins to relieve the poison is a unique skill of every master of Ninjutsu.

And "Flying" and "hidden weapons" are also called "Three Endurances" and "Detoxification". Ninjutsu masters are good at this. According to records, the poison used in Ninjutsu is extracted from minerals, animals and plants, which is strong enough to cause death; As long as a small amount of medicine is enough to make people sleepy, paralyzed or laugh. There are many kinds of poison methods of Ninjutsu. The tips of daggers, darts and arrows are all poisoned and used for assassination. Mixing poison with food or drink for murder; Use all kinds of toxic substances, such as poisonous flowers. A universal antidote for detoxification of Ninjutsu, which is made of herbs and medicinal liquor.

Ninjutsu, regarded as "the art of killing people", has long been targeted at ninja organizations, spying on information and assassinating political enemies. During the Japanese Tokugawa shogunate and the Tang Dynasty in China, espionage and counter-espionage activities prevailed, which was also a great struggle of various ninja organizations.

In the development of society, the terrorist activities of Ninjutsu and Ninja were condemned by the world and finally banned, and the activities of Ninjutsu completely went underground. Little is known about this. In recent years, the rendering of film and television works has made the world realize Japan once again, an ancient and cruel martial arts flower.

The origin of Ninjutsu

The theoretical basis of Ninjutsu is the Japanese art of war from China, which was developed by practicing Taoism and ambushing in the mountains. In peacetime, due to the rise of the samurai class, the art of ambush in the mountains was developed by the samurai. In the Yuan Ping era, he learned the Yuan Yijing of ambush in the mountains, successfully applied the technology of ambush in the mountains, and completed the theory of offensive tactics. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Kusunoki Masashige developed defensive techniques, and at the same time.

Ninjutsu school

During the Warring States period, Ninjutsu began to develop greatly, because Ninjutsu, martial arts and the art of war were urgently needed in this era. However, unlike the art of war and martial arts, Ninjutsu has its own uniqueness. There are several schools of Ninjutsu in the developed areas, that is, the following place names are used as the school names: Musashi, Jiafei, Houyue, Nobuyuki and other four states, namely, Yihe, Jiahe and Jiyi.

Ninjutsu textbook "Wan Ji Chuan Sea"

Originally, before Yamato's eastward expedition, these two places were indistinguishable, and they were both called IGA. Later, because of the separation of the names of Muromachi and Warring States, the school gradually separated. However, although schools are separate, the classic of ninja training is the same book, which we call "Wan Ji Chuan Sea". This book has all the theoretical foundations and skills to teach ninjas how to practice ninjas.

Why are the ninja skills of Iga and Kaga so developed?

Iga and Kaga are both close to Nagoya, located in a closed small basin, surrounded by mountains and obstacles, forming a small world of their own. However, their strategic position is very important. Because they are close to the central part of Feng Jingen, they are deeply influenced by Kyoto culture. There are many holy places, temples and manors. Later, the manor system collapsed and local tyrants rose one after another. During the warring States period, this? There are actually 60 local tyrants in a small land, but because the land is very small, everyone wants to seize the land from each other, so each family will probably raise 30-40 soldiers to deal with the "enemy country" (this is very similar to the land struggle between villages in southern Fujian during the land reclamation period in Taiwan Province Province, and some are similar to the dispute between Fujian and Guangdong). The fierce competition here is beyond the imagination of outsiders, and local tyrants form alliances with each other to explore the enemy. Once the defeated local tyrants fall, it is difficult to get up again. No wonder this mountainous and fierce place will become the base camp for the development of Ninjutsu. After a long time, a balance will gradually develop among local tyrants, and then Ninjutsu will begin to be crowned throughout the country.

Theoretical origin of Ninjutsu

Ninjas are mostly farmers, not aristocratic warriors. Ninjutsu's ambush skills in the mountains come from the experience of mountain warfare living in Yamato, Yoshino, pommel horse, Genlai and Iga. Kyoto is the birthplace of the spells used in Ninjutsu (Yin-Yang Road), because there is a comparison not far away. Tantric Buddhism such as Benshan and Gaoye. Wu Yun's face endurance comes from six paths and a cavity.

Immigrants and ninjas in China and South Korea

Because the Daiwa court welcomes skilled people from other places to settle in Japan, there are a large number of people from China and North Korea. For example, many people moved to Japan from China and North Korea. These people usually settle in Kyoto, and then some people move to nearby Iga or Kaga to work. In addition, foreigners and naturalized people here (foreigners settle in Japan and become Japanese) have many Japanese surnames. For example, in the early days of the Tokugawa shogunate, due to the cooperation between Hattori Shimada Hanzo and Konka, many Iga and Kaga people moved to Edo with Hattori. Igawa-machi is a variant of Igawa-machi and Kagawa-machi. And the name of Shimada Hanzo Gate (the old house where Hattori Shimada Hanzo lived). It is said that Hattori Shimada Hanzo is a man of change. His family originally came from China, and his surname was Qin.

The influence of foreign craftsmen

In addition, the technology introduced by foreigners, such as gunpowder, has taken root here, so this is the place where Japan has made gunpowder for a long time. Other craftsmen have also taken root here, such as the master who makes handicrafts, the master who plays with dolls ... All kinds of artists have come ... So, there are many such people in Iga and Kaga, and ninjas can engage in spy work with the skills of many folk street performers in the future. But in the society at that time, such people's status was not noble (in their hometown of China and South Korea, these people's status was not high either, and the businessman was the last of the four. Of course, the Japanese are also divided into peasants and businessmen, but scholars refer to literati, that is, warriors).

Takeda Shingen, the military commander who loves to use ninjas.

Because Shinhyun hates the secrets of his country being known by others, he likes to train ninjas. He loves the ninjas who drive him to practice (he calls them "Luanbo") and "Shan Zhi" (this is also a term used by Takeda family to call ninjas). The origin of "Luan Bo" came from vagrants, unemployed people or bandit gangs in A Xin and Viet Nam to organize them and teach them combat skills such as mountain warfare. "Three" is the general term for "meeting", "being square" and "meeting". These people are experts in scouts and spies. Xin Xuan sent Saemon, Futian Township, to control these ninjas.

Xiuji and Bee must congratulate Xiao Liu.

As we all know, when Yukio Hatoyama had no choice, he used to take refuge in Mi Xu and Xiao Liu and eat rice at his house. Mi Xu and Xiao Liu are active "night thieves" in Mino (bandits, more widely known as wild warriors, didn't find an army to hire their master, and what's worse, they are mountain kings who rob money at night). In any case, people who work in bandit groups are usually not poor, so they can warmly entertain some people who have no food. I went to Gu Mo, so I became an official and finally got rid of the stigma of bandits. However, strolling hated the rotten army with poor military discipline, so He Xiaoliu and his bandit group never robbed goods again. And their good ability to steal chickens and touch dogs during the robber period became a good condition for being ninjas, so those people turned into ninjas of Yuchai Xiuji's army and performed well in all major battles.

Ninja budo

Successful ninjas should be good at combining themselves with the external environment and completing tasks in a dynamic and static way. Therefore, they pay attention to the daily practice and exercise through the five ninja ways of food, incense, medicine, qi and body.

Let's start with food. Ninjas often wander lightly on branches and roofs, so it is said that a qualified ninja should not weigh more than 60 kilograms. Its three meals a day are mainly black rice, oats, tofu and konjac. At the same time, ninjas need to maintain abundant physical strength, so they often eat sesame seeds, pine nuts, brown sugar, quail eggs and other foods rich in protein, iron and vitamins. This diet structure coincides with the "low calorie and high nutrition" advocated by modern life.

Besides smell, it is said that successful ninjas can judge each other's economic situation and social status by the smell on their clothes. But at the same time, in order not to be discovered by the other party, ninjas often use seven transformations, such as businessman, yogi, monk and monk, to cover up their identity. Basic spices such as clove, sandalwood and cinnamon are used by them to make different body fragrances and enhance the authenticity of transformation.

As for medicine, it is not simple. When performing a task, ninjas will inevitably bump into each other or get hurt by their opponents, and how to avoid mosquito bites when performing a long-term latent task is also an important topic. Therefore, a qualified ninja must be a qualified doctor and medical expert at the same time, and be good at using various plants and herbs in the mountains to treat diseases and repel insects.

The so-called spirit means that ninjas should pay attention to self-cultivation at ordinary times, so as to concentrate on actual combat, be decisive, brave and calm.

Physically, it is said that ninjas pay attention to exercising muscles and joints, and at the same time exercise themselves with meditation, breathing, massage, acupuncture and other recovery methods. In addition to the above five ways, if you fully believe the ninja relics displayed in the Heritage Museum, you will find that talented ninjas are astronomers and chemists. They can predict the weather by observing the stars and make all kinds of gunpowder.

Ninja's nine-character motto refers to "facing, fighting, fighting, being upright, being all-round, being fierce, being upright and going", which comes from China's ancient Taoist classic Bao Puzi. This nine-character mantra is a spell that Taoist priests read when exorcising demons in the mountains. Ninja also takes this "nine-character proverb" as a mantra. Ninjas may use this because they live in an environment where they will die at any time. Reading this spell can give yourself a kind of self-hypnosis, thus eliminating fear and increasing the role of spiritual strength.

The real Ninjutsu originated from China Ninjutsu, also known as invisibility (China called it Five Elements Evasion at that time). There are different opinions about the origin of Ninjutsu and Ninja. Some people in China think that Ninjutsu originated from the Han Dynasty in China.

A generation of five elements, later spread to Japan. Like karate, judo and Shaolin boxing, Ninjutsu is made in China.

Wushu with Japanese characteristics gradually developed after ancient Wushu spread to Japan. The authoritative book Wan Ji Chuan Sea of Ninjutsu points out: Ninjutsu thought.

The root of thinking comes from the Yin and Zhou Dynasties of China, Jiang Taigong and Lv Wang. It was he who first put forward the concept of Ninjutsu and wrote it in the famous book Six.

Tao. Later, Sun Wu, Sean and Han Xin successively perfected the theory of Ninjutsu. Especially Sun Wu's The Art of War.

Highly respected by the ninja class. At this time, Ninjutsu has basically formed the embryonic form composed of tactics, formation, yin and yang, skills and so on.

. With the spread of Ninjutsu to Japan, Ninja appeared and developed in Japan.

There are some sporadic records about the escape of the five elements.

Mainly divided into wood fire, water and earth, to put it bluntly, it is very simple.

Golden dodge: it is to use bright metal to reflect light and hurt your opponent's eyes to avoid it. It is used to escape.

Wood dung: the ancestor of Japanese dog feet. You have to climb up and down to survive, and use some tools to escape. The origin of wooden dung is that you practice in trees when you usually practice. In the past, houses were low-lying, and people who could climb trees could basically sneak into any house. It is used to escape.

Water escape: cultivate water, breathe underwater with pipes, and cross the river with special wooden shoes (water spiders).

Used to escape.

Fire escape: Smoke bombs or some props used for arson are made by chemical means. There has never been a bomb before. The fired firearms remain on the original fireworks. They are used to escape.

Earth-hiding: it is not the kind of underground escape in the movie, but actually used to dig tunnels and traps. It used to be mostly land, with soft geology and easy implementation. People who study this technology will dig tunnels or holes to hide according to the nature of the soil. It is used to escape.

At the end of the Han dynasty, due to the constant war, evasion was born, which was mainly used to avoid the chaos of military forces.

The evolution of ninja names

The name Ninja has existed since the Edo period in Japan, but the history of Ninja began much earlier.

. It is said that in Japan, it was Prince Tokushima who sent "Ninja" to complete the task for the first time. At that time, ninjas were called "smart and convenient"

"。 According to the time and place, there are various titles. The following are the titles of ninjas in different periods: Asuka period.

: "Willingness and convenience"; Nara era: Scout; Warring States: There are many names. The most popular name is "Luan Bo", which

Takeda Shingen gave it a name. Edo Age: Ninja.

Although it was formally established in the Edo era, Japan entered Germany for a long time from this era.

In peacetime under the rule of the Chuan family, there were fewer and fewer activities on the historical stage. Due to the loss of the stage of the event, making

Ninja on the calendar
