Siheyuan: My Northeastern Farmhouse

Chapter 164 Anatomy and Martial Arts (Foreshadowing Chapter)

Gu Weijun left Secretary Huang's house and returned to Beichizi Street, reflecting on himself repeatedly.

Gu Weijun does not have the spirit of bravery and fighting spirit that people of this generation have in his work, even if he is talking nonsense to the students of the attached middle school.He also calculated that it would have no impact on him. At most, it would be a physical education teacher who could not do it. This was also the case.

But listening to Secretary Huang's implicit criticism of himself today, Gu Weijun did feel the attitude and passion of people in this era when doing things, and he no longer had the awareness to risk his own life.

Secretary Huang finally told Gu Weijun that he and Factory Director Nie had talked with the workshop director and the master workers. As long as the teachers who came did not reject labor, the master workers would not have any objections. Although they were problem teachers, ordinary people had no objection to them. The respect of teachers is engraved in the bones
Gu Weijun did not refute. Secretary Huang did not know the teacher.Of course, it’s only a few years, and it’s true that without the Party’s teachings in future generations, will there be fewer weird remarks made by those experts and professors?
Therefore, the more he understands this era, the deeper Gu Weijun's admiration for teachers becomes. No wonder people in this era have such deep admiration and love for great men!

Early the next morning, Gu Weijun returned to Tsinghua University again. He first called Professor John Ma, then picked up the three girls and went straight to the Simin Martial Arts Club.

On the way, Ma John gave a brief introduction to the Simin Martial Arts Club to a few people.

The Simin Martial Arts Club was established as early as the late Qing Dynasty. It is the inheritance of Hebei Xingyiquan. The first generation president, Mr. Geng Jishan, had good relations with Li Cunyi, Sun Lutang, Shang Yunxiang, Wu Jianquan, Cheng Youxin and others, and encouraged his disciples to practice martial arts to save the country, such as 29 Zhang Guisheng, a member of the army, died after fighting more than 10 Japanese invaders. The current president is Wu Zizhen, who is already in his third term. He has an open-minded personality and has no sectarian views. He invites many martial arts people to come and communicate, including Yang Yuting and Gao Ruizhou of Wu Style Tai Chi. et al.

Now the Simin Martial Arts Club not only teaches form and meaning, but also teaches Tai Chi, Bagua, Liuhe, Shaolin and other boxing techniques and equipment, and has also trained many martial arts talents.

The Simin Martial Arts Club is located in the Xihuo Temple outside Di'anmen, covering an area of ​​more than ten acres. Gu Weijun and the others arrived not too early, and there are already many people practicing martial arts in the central open space. The racks of equipment around the training ground are full. Eighteen kinds of weapons.

As soon as Old Man Ma arrived at the martial arts training ground, he was obviously in high spirits and shouted loudly, "Brother Wu, I brought Gu Weijun, the martial arts prodigy I mentioned before, here today!"

President Wu was giving instructions to some children who were practicing martial arts. He held a purple clay pot in his hand and took a sip from time to time.Hearing Old Man Ma's shout, he turned his head and looked Gu Weijun up and down before letting out a hearty laugh, "Brother Ma, even if you haven't practiced martial arts, with Gu Xiaoyou's physique, you are still good at killing enemies in battle!"

Gu Weijun's height at this time is already 1 meters, and he doesn't know if he will grow taller in the future. This makes Gu Weijun very distressed. 93 meters is just right. It is difficult for men and women of this height to exert force when exercising!

President Wu then said to Gu Weijun: "Last time, Brother Ma said that Gu Xiaoyou didn't know his master's lineage. Can you do a practice to open our eyes?"

Gu Weijun nodded with a smile. The purpose of his visit was to find a famous teacher to give him advice. Bajiquan was indeed not good at maintaining health. He had read information in his later impressions that "Magic Gun" Li Shuwen seemed to have died in his 70s. How many more years did he want to live? Better days are ahead.

Then he took off his bulky military coat, tightened his belt, and began to demonstrate each move.

President Wu looked at Gu Weijun's posture and knew that it was the inheritance of Bajiquan. Brother Wu said that Gu Xiaoyou had been practicing for 3 or 4 years, but it seemed that he had been practicing this posture for more than ten years.

Soon, Gu Weijun demonstrated the stance once and then slowly stopped.President Wu couldn't help but applaud, "What a great Kungfu, what a Baji Quan that can reach all directions!"

Gu Weijun pretended not to understand and asked: "President Wu, is my boxing technique called Bajiquan?"

"That's right." President Wu nodded, and then told Gu Weijun and the disciples watching in the martial arts field about the origin of Bajiquan and the famous Baji master during the Republic of China, "Magic Spear" Li Shuwen.After hearing that Li Shuwen stabbed three Japanese samurai to death in one encounter, everyone in the martial arts training ground couldn't help but admire him!

After President Wu explained, he said to Gu Weijun: "Gu Xiaoyou, Brother Ma is right. Bajiquan is too strong and not conducive to health. It is better for us to practice martial arts with both yin and yang. I focus on form and meaning, and also practice Bagua. . Moreover, in New China, we don’t have so many sectarian views. Let’s learn from each other’s strengths and jointly pass on our traditional martial arts!” “Come on, please come to the house!”

After welcoming a few people into the room for tea, President Wu asked: "Little friend Gu, Brother Ma said that you have only been practicing martial arts for 3 or 4 years, but I observed your posture and found that you can't master it after more than ten years of hard work. Can you tell me? What if? It's a private inheritance, so I'm assuming it's an old man's fault!" After saying that, he gave Gu Weijun a fist.

Gu Weijun smiled and waved his hand, "You're welcome, Mr. Wu, that's it. I am a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, and then I also studied Western medicine, so when I was practicing martial arts, I kept thinking about the principles, and I was lucky enough to have some insights. It's nothing private."

"And as Mr. Wu said, it's a new China, and it's meaningless to cherish the broom. It's what our generation should do to better pass on our traditional martial arts culture."

"I'll explain it to you in detail. For example, when we punch, we pay attention to the force exerted by the soles of the feet and the integration of the waist and horse! From the perspective of Western medicine anatomy, the contraction of the biceps femoris drives the latissimus dorsi and trapezius muscles to generate power." While explaining, Gu Weijun was still gesticulating on his body.

"Then when you kick, your gluteus maximus contracts."

"In this way, you will have a more intuitive understanding of practicing martial arts, unlike the older generation's inheritance which is just a vague formula. Without any understanding or teacher's instruction, you can only become more rigid with practice, or it will be easy. The practice got sidetracked."

After listening to Gu Weijun's explanation, President Wu seemed to have opened up another world. It turns out that there is no separation between medicine and medicine!He became more enthusiastic and hoped that Gu Weijun would explain it in more detail.

Then Gu Weijun began to explain the structure of bones, which made President Wu excited and kept cheering loudly.

At this time, a gentle female voice came from outside the door, "Senior Brother Wu, what makes you so happy?" Then two gentle middle-aged women walked in.

Everyone present stood up one after another, and President Wu introduced both parties, "Junior sister Yang, this little friend Gu Weijun is a Baji intern, and he has already entered the palace with his Baji Kungfu."

"Gu Xiaoyou, these are my two junior sisters, Yang Mo and Bai Yang."

Gu Weijun didn't react much to these two names, because as a later generation, he didn't have much interest in the literature or movies of this era.

But the three girls of Jiang Wanhua were different. When they heard these two names, they exclaimed in unison: "You are Teacher Yang Mo, you are Teacher Baiyan!"

"Teacher Yang Mo, I especially like your "Song of Youth"!"

"Teacher Bai Yang, I especially like your performance in "A River of Spring Flows East"!"

Um?Or two celebrities in the literary and artistic circles?
