At that time, Tang ran from Wuhan to Changsha to watch the martial arts exam. Later, he wrote in Taiwan and recalled: "This competition in the ring was a sensation throughout the country. Fortunately, I asked my friend to book a place to live in advance and bought tickets for the ring in advance, otherwise it would be difficult to buy tickets, and even the accommodation became a big problem. Because forty days before the game, Changsha Hotel has long been full of heroes of three mountains and five mountains. "
This martial arts exam was recorded in detail in Hunan Yearbook (edited by Hunan Province during He Jian period) in 1933, namely, "1932 10 June/0/day, the second martial arts exam was held; 2 nd, the second retest; The fourth final; On the 5 th, an award ceremony was held. " The legendary courtship of "Gu" will be held on the morning of June 2nd 10.
The contest, which caused a sensation in the whole country, was lively enough, but what made all the audience dissatisfied was that Liu Yanling, which people were most concerned about, "thundered loudly, but rained little". Now, people can see a lot of written records of Ada's appearance in the second Hunan martial arts examination, which can be roughly divided into "praising" Liu School and "belittling" Liu School. Due to the limitation of space, readers can choose representative words and distinguish authenticity by themselves.
Pengliupai
The contest between Guliu came to an abrupt end.
There are six factions watching the game: Tang,,. What Tang saw was: The next day, Gu went to the stage to call the battle, and really followed the challenge ... We were twenty or thirty feet away from the ring, and there was no loudspeaker equipment at that time. I saw Gu Liuyi without saying a word, took it in surprise, and suddenly gave a hand. It's like Liu was knocked down and followed. Some people say that although Liu's legs swept to Gu under the stage, he reached out and pulled Gu back to the stage, and exchanged a few words, only to end up hastily ... Li said that there was an early deployment around the challenge, and Liu would not be able to leave the venue. The purpose of this (Ada's crackdown) is just to show off its prestige and show it to everyone. It took (us) four or five days to run from Hankou to Changsha to see Wu Lun. Liu Gu met for less than a minute and was really disappointed. "
Said: "Gu () held the top of Mount Tai in the ring. Liu flashed back and curled up all over. From a distance, it looked like Liu (the guard) was knocked down. Some spectators who supported Gu cheered loudly, but those who supported Liu were even more unconvinced and stopped drinking loudly. The venue was in chaos. In an instant, Liu jumped back, and the audience screamed for Liu's return, but it was still a draw ... He Jian saw this situation, and if he continued to play, it would be a draw. The winner is happy, the loser is discredited, and there is a danger of fighting outside the venue, which is likely to lead to a murder case and cause an uproar. So he stepped forward and stopped the two sides, laughing and saying,' Gu and Liu's fists are all yours. Today's game is also evenly matched, and it is difficult to tell the pros and cons if you continue to think about it; Why don't you stop for a while and worry about it tomorrow? "At the end of the speech, both sides listened and agreed. The audience present, I still hope that they will win or lose, high or low, and suddenly stop. This is not what they want. "
Exile willow school
It's just Gu's students who are gesticulating with Liu Yanming.
During the Wushu competition that year, Wan, a reporter from Wushu Monthly, said in the article "The Truth of Guliu Competition":1In late September, 932, He Jian sent someone to inform him to take the Wushu provincial examination held in June 10 ... In the provincial examination, (Ada) was beaten out of the water by 24-year-old Ning Desheng.
Xiang Kairan, secretary of Hunan Wushu Training College, said in a memory article that Jing once again jumped out to compete with Gu, the chief instructor of the training college. Because he is from Changsha, the instructors of the training institute and the technical brigade are both northerners and mainlanders. I heard that-Jing was going to compete with them, and everyone made an appointment in advance: "Whoever draws lots for-Jing will only win, and if he loses, he will not be allowed to step down." After research, it was decided that the instructor would not participate, and 20 students from the two places would be selected to participate in the competition. On the third day, the technical team Ning Desheng drew lots to meet Ada. After taking office, neither of them dared to act rashly. They walk around, preferring to see the truth. They rushed to the lower part of the willow, grabbed their feet and threw the willow out. But Liu just wouldn't let go and dragged Ning down after falling to the ground. It turned out that "falling to the ground is a loss", and Liu dragged Ning down after falling to the ground. Two people were rolling on the ground, and the referee stopped blowing and listening. He whistled three times and didn't listen. I have to take it apart At this time, the audience booed and shouted "two people hit one, two people hit one". Although the referee pulled Liu away, the people who closely protected Liu shouted and couldn't continue the game, so they stopped the game that afternoon.
Zhu Yonghua, who served as the deputy director of the Wushu Training Institute during He Jian's period, pointed out more specifically in his memory of May 1964 that it was not even Ning Desheng who competed with Ada at that time. Ning decided to abstain, but Tan Zhongqi, a student of Ning, was unconvinced. Tan practices fighting and wrestling. Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. After several rounds, Liu could only parry. Finally, Tan moved Liu's left foot and threw Liu onto the stage. Liu knew that he had failed, so he held on to Tan's hand. Tan also pounced on Liu. After Liu fell to the ground, he rolled over and put Tan under his body ... Executive referee Xin blew the whistle to stop the game. The audience was furious. Liu stood up and shouted at the audience, "The referee is unfair. I won't take part in the competition." He said that Bi Liuyan stepped down, but the audience took it seriously and shouted for a refund. One of Peng's soldiers, the teacher of ** 16 who was present at that time, threatened Xin with * *, and he stopped him. This is the only way to calm the chaos. On the same day, Changsha Evening News also insinuated that the northern referee Xin was a master of Xingyi Boxing, with a fist weighing 500 Jin. At that time, when Ada was about to fall to the ground at the age of five inches, he pushed for "playing carp" (or "returning the dead dog to the sun") to put pressure on Ningde, and the referee and Ningde Sheng played at this time.
Hunan yearbook
Ada ranked 16 in the martial arts examination.
Whether called "praise" or "belittle" Liu Zongyuan by later generations, their words belong to reflection. The record of Hunan Province led by He Jian in Hunan Yearbook 1933 should be the most authoritative.
According to 1933 Hunan Yearbook, the final scores of this Wushu exam are: the top eight: Liu, Liu Huizan, Liu Zaixing, Tan, Tan Bosheng, Qiu. The top three are all students trained by the newly established Wushu Training College. The top seven were Su et al., the top 15 were et al., and Ning Desheng (or Tan Zhongqi) did not enter the top 30. In other words, the competition recorded by Wan, Zhu Yonghua and Xiang Yixue finally decided to win. But Ada finally stopped at the top 15.
Wan recorded "The Truth of Ancient Stream Tournament": "Until the end, I barely ranked 16th. Sixteen years old is the highest honor of Ada's life. " There were documents to test at that time, which were credible.
It seems that Ada's amazing martial arts are actually "blown".
interview
Kung Fu of Ada Disciple Peng Jiaxin
Mr. Tian, who lives in North Station Road Garden, saw our last page and called to say that Liu's strict disciple is his relative.
Later, tian teacher drove us to the Luhuo Formation in Yuanhuan Village, Beisheng Town, Liuyang, and found Peng Jiaxin.
The 86-year-old Peng Jiaxin stood in front of his house in the dry valley of cement in the scorching sun and practiced a set of boxing, which was as powerful as a dragon.
Xu Huiming, who took the photo, and I, who was on the sidelines, were caught off guard. Under the deterrent of his fist, I almost sat down on the ground several times.
Peng Jiaxin's actual combat boxing once again confirms the impression left by historical materials-Ada-Jing has kung fu, and Ada-Jing's kung fu is by no means the kung fu of street hooligans and hooligans.
Pan, an apprentice of Peng Jiaxin, was captured by the Japanese army as a road builder in 1944. He escaped from the magic cave himself, and this legendary story is widely circulated in the local area.
Peng Jiaxin saw Liu Yanwei with his own eyes. He pointed to me, who was of medium height and slightly fat, and said that Liu Yanwei was very much like you.
Peng Jiaxin recalled that in 1932, when he was a little boy, his father took him to Jiaohuiping (now Qianping, Education Street, Changsha) and saw the heroes of Ada with his own eyes. But because he was too young, he only remembered that there was a scuffle on the stage. The people who fell to the ground suddenly got up with the trick of "returning the dead dog to the grandson", tripped the people who stood, and then flew off the ring, while the audience under the stage shouted wildly. Later, he heard about Ada's beating many times, which supplemented his unforgettable memory of Ada's beating in his childhood impression.
ask about
Is Ada's strict blowing skill magic?
Ada's greatest kung fu is not only the actual combat Sanda that Peng Jiaxin, an old man in Liuyang, is now showing.
According to the author's notes, Ada's greatest strength is "blowing". Taiwan Province reporter Gao Baishi's Notes on Spring Breeze in Gu Lou (Writers Publishing House, 2003) vividly described Liu Yanli's martial arts in the article Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon-A Scene of Yuelu Mountain. He said that Gu had a "literary fight" in front of the Love Night Pavilion, where the scenery was picturesque and charming. Willow is more strict. He asked some country people to carry a big urn from Yuelu Academy, put it in front of the Love Night Pavilion, and then poured three stones and more water. Liu held her breath for a long time. "When people saw him, his face gradually turned red, reddish and bright red. His whole face is facing the cylinder, and there seems to be a clanging sound from a stone in his body. He is riding a horse, standing by the tank, blowing water with his mouth. But see: At first, water splashed everywhere. Later, the water turned up, and the inside of the tank whirled and surged, like Ma Benteng roaring with hordes. After a while, a water column suddenly stood up in the cylinder, straight up and down, straight out of the cylinder, reaching more than two feet high, up and down, endless cycle, one after another, and did not fall for twenty minutes. The audience applauded. Liu said after the performance: "This is Dantian Qigong, which is not easy to practice." . When I first started studying, I practiced hard in the ice and snow for several years, but the water was rippling. Later, Master told me to brag with the power of Yuanyang, and let me spill all the jars. He also said:' This is the initial stage of practicing sword, but you can meet the enemy in one breath. A hundred paces is enough to hurt people, but I don't have the time. " "
Taiwan Province gourmet Tang also wrote: "Blow the pool with one hand and blow the water into a bowl-sized hole four or five feet deep" by the goldfish pond.
