Where did the martial arts of those military commanders come from during the Three Kingdoms period?

The martial arts of the military commanders of the Three Kingdoms naturally do not drink snake blood. Is it getting more and more refined every day? Among the military commanders, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu wrote more about their early experiences. Let's take these two brothers as an example to make an analysis.

Zhang Fei's resume: "A surname is Zhang, a name is Fei, and the word is righteous. Living in Zhuo Jun County, I have a fairly large farm, selling wine and killing pigs. I am good at making friends with heroes all over the world. I just sighed when I saw the public looking at the list and asked. "

Guan Yu's resume: "My name is Guan, Mingyu, and I am a fairy. Later, I changed the cloud length, and Hedong solved my lover. " I killed him because he was very powerful here. It's been five or six years since I fled the Jianghu. I heard that the army was recruiting thieves here, so I came to recruit them. "

Neither of them mentioned their martial arts, not even the phrase "practicing martial arts since childhood". More importantly, the follow-up story. After Liu decided to start an army, he made a dragon crescent moon blade, also known as a "cool color saw", weighing 82 Jin. Zhang Fei made an eight-point steel spear. "You see, before that, you two didn't even have weapons. Guan Yu has to say, after all, it is a bit difficult to escape with a 82-pound broadsword. Zhang Fei shouldn't do this. He has money and a house. If he practices martial arts, he can't even afford to build a decent spear.

It can be seen that they usually don't practice martial arts.

So how did Guan Yu and Zhang Fei get their martial arts?

Their martial arts come from their profession!

According to the website of Wushu College of Beijing Sport University, "Marxism believes that human production activities are the most basic practical activities and the things that determine all other activities. The emergence of martial arts has always been determined by production activities. "

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are no exception.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, Wushu was not systematic, and it did not have the conditions to become a martial arts master by learning from the master. To become a master, one must have a natural physique, and the other must be highly savvy, and can understand the offensive and defensive techniques from production activities. Guided by this, let's analyze the relationship between Zhang Fei and Guan Yu's martial arts and career.

Zhang Fei's main occupation is killing pigs. Kill pigs with a pig knife. It is different from Zhang Fei's weapon, but it has the same technical characteristics. When you kill a pig, you don't cut it with a pig knife, but stab it. So in essence, the pig-killing knife is not a knife, similar to a spear. Pigs should be depilated after being killed, and the skin should be inflated and tightened before depilation. The usual practice is to stab the abdomen with an iron drill from the back, and then pull out the iron drill to inflate the abdomen. Zhang Fei has no pump, so he can only blow it with his mouth. Iron brazing is a small spear, and Zhang Fei naturally chose a spear as a weapon.

Coupled with blowing on pigs for a long time, Zhang Fei learned a huge lung capacity, and he could yell in front of Changbanpo to scare away millions of soldiers of Cao Cao.

There is no mention of Guan Yu's occupation in The Romance of Three Kingdoms, but as we all know, Guan Yu sold dates during his escape. Jujube sold for five or six years is a profession after all. Guan Yu is not good at business, he can't buy a good price, but he can still make a living, which shows that his purchase channels are unusual. If the goods were purchased through normal payment, the capital would be gone long ago. Guan Yu has a case in hand, so it is unlikely to rob jujube. In addition, if you want to rob, you should also rob money. Only one person went to the jujube garden to play dates. Zaoyuan is a fierce landlord. If you hit his jujube, you will hit the landlord. You don't have to pay for it and feel at ease. Guan Yu always wears green to avoid causing trouble. Seeing someone coming, he climbed up the jujube tree to hide. A suit of green clothes, a jujube red face, hidden in jujube trees, no one can see. Presumably Guan Yu won't cherish jujube trees, but took a big bamboo pole and hit it hard. When I was in high school, I stole persimmons from school in the middle of the night with a big bamboo pole. I knew how hard it took for that bamboo pole to wave among the branches and leaves. Guan Yu played like this for five or six years, and he developed infinite arm strength. From the technical characteristics, waving a bamboo pole is exactly the same as waving a broadsword. So Guan Yu chose an 82-pound broadsword.

Playing dates has made Guan Yu's martial arts, but it has also caused serious defects in Guan Yu's martial arts.

Guan Yu once fought with Zhao Yun in Niutoushan. The battle took place on a mountain road with trees on both sides.

"Guan Yu fenran mounted the horse, reversed the Qinglong Dao, opened his eyes wide, straightened his silkworms' eyebrows, and headed straight for Woniu Mountain. The branches of the mountain were broken like waves, and Guan Gong ran to a poplar tree. Zhaoyun saw that Guan Yu had not come to fight the general, but had entered no man's land. When he wanted to ask questions, Guan Yu rushed under the tree and took a knife to break the poplar into two pieces. "

Guan Yu's martial arts originated from playing dates. When charging, the spirit was highly concentrated, and the trees on the roadside evoked instinctive reactions. They took the trees with a knife and made a big fool of themselves.

Guan Yu was also captured because of this weakness and lost his life.

Guan Yu rushed out of Maicheng and fled along a mountain road. He didn't want the red hare to trip, and Guan Yu was captured by Ma Zhong. Even if Guan Yu falls, his kung fu is still there. Ma Zhong is a nobody. How could he be captured? I think Ma Chao once fought on foot and killed Han Sui and his five generals. Guan Yu is tired, but he should be more than enough to deal with a Ma Zhong. But it is also a mountain road, and there are trees on both sides of the mountain road. Guan Yu raised his knife to fight, only to see many trees on both sides, and he didn't know which one to cut at the moment. Hesitated for half a minute, has been tied up by Ma Zhong.

Haha, just kidding. Don't take it seriously

In fact, those famous soldiers, martial arts half from natural conditions, half from killing the enemy to exercise.

For example, Guan Yu is 2 meters tall! Historical records show that it is 9 feet high. This ruler is a China ruler, which is different from our current ruler, but it is also 2 meters high after conversion! This is simply the ancient map of God of War.

Zhang Fei is slightly lower, but it is also 1.9 meters.

Natural conditions are much better than ordinary people! You know, the average figure of adult men at that time was only 1.6 meters.

And killing the enemy is also essential.

For example, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei followed Liu Bei's volunteers in their early years to fight the yellow turban insurrectionary thief. It was a real front-line battle.

Even a person with average physical condition can become a martial arts expert after being hacked for ten years on the first-line battlefield, let alone a strongman with excellent physical condition.

There are people like Gan Ning and Zhou Tai, who were thieves and robbers in their early years. It is also a life of swords and shadows, which is enough to exercise people.

I remember once a wealthy businessman recruited bodyguards and a group of people came to apply.

Some say they are outstanding students in a martial arts school, some say they have won any prizes in Muay Thai for several years, some say they have been armed police, and some say they are themselves. . . . . .

In the end, he only said a word, and let the rich businessman make up his mind to hire him:

"I played in Vietnam for three years!"

It can be seen that front-line combat is the most training.
