The classification that Japan endures.

Musashi, Jia Fei, Yue Hou, Nong Xin, etc.

Iga, Kaga, Kyrgyzstan, etc.

Ninjutsu in the last three states is the most developed in Japan.

Iga and Kaga are both close to Beijing, and the terrain belongs to a small closed basin surrounded by mountains and obstacles. Although barren, their strategic position is very important: because they are close to central Feng Jingen. During the Warring States Period, more than 60 local tyrants (each with a maximum strength of no more than 50 people, according to China's algorithm, at best, small bandits) rose in this tiny place. Although the site is small, the competition here is fierce beyond outsiders' imagination. Local tyrants form false alliances with each other, secretly spy on each other, and once they seize the opportunity, they will give their opponents a merciless blow. These two bloody mountains full of cruelty and cunning have gradually evolved into the base camp for the development of Ninjutsu. Iga and Kaga's greatest contribution to the cause of ninja is to systematize the theoretical basis and skills of ninja and compile a book on ninja cultivation-Wan Ji Chuan Sea. Although the genre is different, the classic that ninjas practice is the book Wan Ji Chuan Sea, whose content is to teach ninjas all the theoretical basis and technical guidance on how to perform Ninjutsu.

In the fourth year of Yan Bao (1676), the fourth generation general of Tokugawa family, Fujimori Yasuo, a hermit of Jiahe, combined the thoughts and martial arts essence of famous Chinese and Japanese celebrities in the past dynasties, and referred to the contents of Six Pagodas and Sun Tzu's Art of War, and wrote a ninja extreme training guide integrating forbearance, forbearance and forbearance. Referring to the thought of "A hundred schools of thought contend and returnees meet" in the selected works of Zuo Du Fu, an ancient Chinese book, the book was named Wan Ji Chuan Sea. As the name implies, "Wan Ji Chuan Sea" is to take the essence of each family.

Wan Ji Chuan Sea consists of six parts: correct mind, knowledge, yin forbearance, yang forbearance, meteorology and forbearance. This book later became a must-read textbook for ninja practice. Tamia Liu and Sun Tzu's Art of War are two ancient works that have far-reaching influence on the overall development of Wan Ji Chuan Sea and Ninjutsu. It can also be seen that China's thoughts on ancient military martial arts have laid a solid theoretical foundation for the future development of Japanese Ninjutsu, which is the proof that Ninjutsu really originated in China. It can be said that "Wan Ji Chuan Sea" is a summary of Japanese learning the essence of ancient China's military and practicing metaphysics.

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 magic (Yin-Yang Road) used in Ninjutsu, because there are esoteric Buddhism Benshan such as Dongye not far away. Wu Yun's face endurance comes from six paths and a cavity.

Immigrants and ninjas from China and Korea.

Because of the regime change in China, a new dynasty was established, and the loyal subjects of the emperor could not survive in China, so they immigrated to Japan, which has been in contact with China for more than two thousand years. These people have a low social status in Japan and can only engage in handicrafts that the Japanese are unwilling to engage in, such as making pottery, armor and clothing. These people were called tribesmen, and the number was the largest in the Ming Dynasty. Tribe, the Japanese name for the "circle people" who imprisoned China people during the Japanese invasion of China. These Ming immigrants usually settled in Kyoto, and then some moved to nearby Iga or Kaga to work. In addition, they also use some technologies they brought, such as gunpowder, so this is where Japan made gunpowder very early. Other craftsmen have also taken root here, such as the master who makes handicrafts and plays with dolls ... All kinds of artists have come ... In this way, there are many such people in Iga and Kaga, and ninjas can also have many skills to engage in spy work like folk street performers in the future.

In addition, some Koreans are treated as China people. There are many foreigners and naturalized people here (foreigners settle in Japan, become Japanese and change their surnames to Japanese).

For example, in the early days of the Tokugawa shogunate, many people from Iga and Kaga moved to Edo with Hattori because Shimada Hanzo of Hattori cooperated with Konka. Komachi is the transformation of Iga and Kaga. And the name of Shimada Hanzo Gate (the old house where Hattori Shimada Hanzo lived). It is said that Hattori Shimada Hanzo is a Transformers. His ancestral home is China, and his surname is Qin. Later, because he settled in Japan, he changed his Japanese surname to Hattori, and the Hattori family was born.

Because the war in Japan was extremely fierce at that time and information was badly needed, but the so-called orthodox samurai would not engage in such furtive behavior. Japanese samurai believe that this kind of suffering and humiliation should be done by those inferior people. Moreover, Japanese martial arts at that time was only suitable for two people to agree to stand and chop off each other's heads, which is the way you see Japanese kendo practice now. Ambush in the mountains and eclectic fighting in all kinds of terrain are not suitable for them either. The important thing is that the Japanese have no ability to improvise, so this special job was done by the people at the bottom of Japanese society at that time.

China people, this is the true face of the Japanese ninja.

There is also a ninja army composed of Japanese. There is a guy named Yuchai Hideyoshi. When he was desperate, he once took refuge in the bee-beard, he Xiaoliu, and ate at his house. He Xiaoliu, a bearded man, is an active "thief" 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 in the dark). Anyway, people who work in bandit groups are generally not poor, so they can be hospitable to let some people who have no food take refuge in him and eat at his house. Later, these people became loyal ministers because they helped Hideyoshi capture the Mexican stock market, and finally got rid of the stigma of robbers. However, because Nobunaga hated the rotten army with poor military discipline, Bee Shou and Xiao Liu never had anything to do with his bandit group, and their good skill of stealing chickens and dogs during the robber period became a good condition for being ninjas, so those people became ninjas in the Uji army. And have outstanding performance in all major battles.

This Tamaki Hideyoshi later unified Japan and was awarded the position of "Taihe" by the Japanese emperor, that is, the emperor assisted. And gave the surname Toyotomi, so his later name in history was Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

The martial arts of Ninjutsu come from Yagyu Liu Jian School and Liu Qiang, a treasure house. However, ninjas have greatly improved these martial arts, making them use short knives and spears, thus being suitable for fighting in narrow places.

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 "face, fight, fight, be the whole, fight and be the first", which comes from China's ancient Taoist book 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 Five Elements of Han Dynasty in China, and later spread to Japan. Like karate, judo, Shaolin Temple boxing and other Japanese martial arts, Ninjutsu is a kind of martial arts with Japanese characteristics that gradually developed after the ancient martial arts from China were introduced to Japan. Wan Hai, the authoritative work of Ninjutsu, pointed out that the root of Ninjutsu thought came from China and Jiang Taigong during the Yin and Zhou Dynasties. It was he who first put forward the concept of Ninjutsu and wrote it in Liu Tao, a masterpiece handed down from ancient times. Later, Sun Wu, Sean and Han Xin successively perfected the theory of Ninjutsu. In particular, Sun Wu's The Art of War has been highly praised 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.

Evasion of Five Elements —— Fire, Water and Earth in Jin Mu.

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.

Escape on water: cultivate water, breathe underwater through pipes, cross the river with special wooden shoes (water spiders), etc. It is 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.
